PREPARING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FOR JUICING
•
Always wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly before juicing.
•
It is not necessary to remove seeds, pits or thin peels before using the appliance.
•
Fruits with thick peels such as oranges and lemons must be peeled before juicing. It is particularly important
to remove all the peel (including the pith), as even small amounts of peel can impart an unpleasant taste to
the juice.
•
It is also necessary to remove large pits (such as plum and apricot pits) to avoid damaging the appliance.
•
Large fruits and vegetables should be cut into pieces that can fit into the funnel (9).
USE
•
Start the appliance by turning the =n/Off button to position "1" (low speed) or position "2" (high speed).
•
The low speed setting is suitable for juicing soft fruits and vegetables.
•
The high speed setting is suitable for juicing harder fruits and vegetables.
•
Feed the selected fruits and/or vegetables into the appliance through the funnel a little at a time, pushing
them down using the tamper (1).
•
Make sure that you turn the tamper so that the groove in the tamper fits into the funnel properly.
•
Long vegetables such as carrots should be fed into the funnel pointy end first.
•
Press the fruits and/or vegetables gently with the funnel. Too much presser reduces the amount of juice
extracted and can damage the appliance.
•
Stop the appliance before removing the tamper to add more fruit/vegetables in order to avoid splashes.
•
Keep an eye on the fruit pulp holder and stop juicing before the holder becomes too full.
•
Always turn off the power by turning the "On/Off" button to "0" position before taking off the lid.
Please note: Do not leave the appliance running for more than 3 minutes at a time. If the appliance has been
running for 3 minutes, allow it to cool down for 20 minutes before you use it again.

TIP
•
If you line the fruit pulp holder with a plastic bag before using the appliance, it will be easier to clean the
appliance.
•
Use fresh fruits and vegetables – they contain the most juice.
•
Good candidates for juicing include pineapple, apples, cucumbers, celery, carrots, spinach, melons,
tomatoes and most citrus fruits.
•
The various varieties of apple yield juice with different flavors and consistency. Experiment with different
combinations to find your own favorite.
•
Leafy green vegetables such as cabbage and spinach can be juiced. Roll the leaves into cylinders of an
appropriate size before feeding them into the funnel.
•
Fibrous fruits and vegetables as well as those with very firm flesh such as bananas, mangoes, papayas and
avocadoes are not well-suited to juicing, as the result is often mashed fruit instead of juice.
