preferred fruits are the following: pineapple, beetroot, celery stick, apple,
cucumber, carrot, spinach, melons, tomato, mandarin orange, grape, etc..
2. It is unnecessary to remove thin peels and skins. Only thick peels (e.g.,
those of oranges, pineapples or beetroots) need to be removed. Seeds (e.g.,
those of oranges) shall also be removed.
3. When extracting apples, the fruit density depends on the variety of
selected apple. For apples with more fluid, the fruit will be denser. Thus,
you can select the apple variety according to your requirements on fruit
density.

turn brown
, you can add a few drops
of lemon juice to slow down this discoloring process.

juice.
6. It is inadvisable to put fruits containing starch, such as banana, pawpaw,
avocado, fig and mango into the juicer for juice extraction.
