Risk of injury
• The pusher must be left in the chute while juicing. Never put
your fingers or any objects into the chute.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended during operation.
• The filter has small, very sharp knives in it which chop up the
food to be juiced. Take greatest care not to injure yourself
when removing or cleaning the filter. Risk of injury!
• Do not use the appliance if the rotating sieve is damaged.
• Unplug the appliance before cleaning.
• Switch off the appliance before changing accessories or
approaching parts which move in use.
Caution - risk of material damage
• Before every use, check if the juicer and all its parts are
properly and completely assembled. Otherwise, the appli-
ance will refuse to start.
• Replace damaged accessories prior to operating the unit.
Take the appliance to an electrician to have the cord or plug
repaired or replaced.
• The appliance is not designed for continuous operation.
Allow the motor to cool down after 2 minutes of
uninterrupted operation.
• Avoid putting too much food into the juicer or to exert too
much pressure on the motor by pushing down on the
pusher too hard. The motor may be damaged.
• Only use the parts contained in this package. Do not com-
bine the juicer with parts taken from other appliances.
• Place the unit on a stable and even surface, making sure to
stay far enough away from powerful heat sources such as
stove plates, radiator tubes, etc.
• Juicing may produce unavoidable juice and pulp splatters.
Ensure that the working top is easy to clean and wipe.
• The appliance rests on feet located on its bottom side. Since
furniture and counter surfaces are made of different
materials which are cleaned using a range of different
products, there may be a risk of some substances contained
in cleaners affecting and moistening the device feet. Place
a non-slip mat underneath the feet as necessary.
• Do not put the juicer or any of its accessories into a dish-
washer.
Always check the filter before use. If you find any
filter damage or crack, do not use the device. Contact
your nearest service center – www.arconet.pl.
Operation
Prior to first use
1. Carefully take the appliance out of its packaging, remove all
parts of the transport packaging and check the appliance
for any transport damage.
2. Clean the juicer and all its accessories.
Preparing fruit & vegetables
Take the information below as a guideline for preparing the
food you wish to process:
• Do not use the appliance for crushing foodstuff such as
chocolate, ice cubes, nuts, etc.
• Peel fruit with hard and inedible skin such as melon, mango
or kiwi if you intend to put the same kind of fruit through
the juicer.
• To make banana juice, instead of peeling the banana, just
try to cut the stalk and flower ends off the banana.
• The juicer also accepts citrus fruits for juicing. Mind that
citrus fruits must be peeled before juicing. Depending on
the fruit, the juice can be very sour and juicing produces
a lot of pulp. Extract as much juice as possible and blend it
with other juices to enhance their taste and flavour.
• Before juicing, remove any stones or large pips from fruit
such as oranges, peaches, apricots, plums, cherries, etc.
• To prevent apple juice from turning brown, try adding
a little citrus fruit juice.
