USING YOUR JUICER
1. Check that the appliance is switched off ( 0 ).
2. Put the plug into the power socket.
3. Put a jug under the spout to collect the juice.
4. Turn the speed control to the speed you want ( 1 = low, 2 = high).
5. Use low speed for soft ingredients (strawberries, citrus). Use high speed for hard
ingredients (apples, carrots).
6. Remove the pusher and drop the ingredients down the tube.
7. Replace the pusher and use it to push the ingredients gently down the tube.
8. Once finished, turn off your juicer ( 0 ).
Don’t run the motor continuously for more than 2 minutes, it may overheat. After 2 minutes
switch off and allow the appliance to rest for at least 2 minutes.
TIPS
• Buy organically grown produce whenever you can.
• Use good quality, fresh, ripe fruit and vegetables. Soft vegetables or overripe fruit can
make the juice thick and cloudy.
• Wash all fruit and vegetables. Use a brush on the harder ones. Remove the outer leaves on
non-organic produce. Peel any non-organic or waxed fruit or vegetables. Cut out and
discard bruises and blemishes as these may affect the taste of the juice.
• Don’t juice anything strong or pungent, like onions or garlic. No matter how well you clean
your juicer, you’ll never get rid of the taste.
• Trim fruit and vegetables so they’ll go through the tube. Use the pusher to push down the
last bits of fruit, and to push down carrots, celery and other long fruit and vegetables.
• Bunch up leafy greens, parsley, wheat grass and beansprouts into a small tight ball and
push it down the tube with the pusher.
WARNING ! RHUBARB LEAVES ARE POISONOUS, THEY CONTAIN OXALIC ACID. THEY MUSTN’T
BE JUICED OR EATEN.
STALKS AND LEAVES
Remove stalks, stems and leaves.
STONES/SEEDS
Remove and discard stones, peach pits and other big seeds. Pomegranate seeds, melon seeds,
and small seeds in raspberries, Kiwi fruit and strawberries can be left in.
BANANAS
Don’t try to juice bananas – the residue will clog the sieve.
ORANGES, GRAPEFRUIT AND TANGERINES
Peel oranges, grapefruit and tangerines.
PINEAPPLE
Top, tail, and peel pineapples.
POMEGRANATES
Remove the skin and pith.
WATERMELON
Watermelon rind can be left on, but some people dislike the taste. However, the rind contains
many nutrients so why not try it first.
PULP
When you’ve finished juicing, don’t just throw the pulp in the bin. It may still contain a great
deal of goodness. Before you throw it away, think of things like thickening for soups or stews,
pie-fillings, or even the compost heap.
