THE PRINCIPLE AND ADVANTAGES OF A MASTICATING SLOW
JUICER
■
The operating principle of this juicer is based on a system where ingredients are
juiced slowly. The auger first coarsely masticates the inserted ingredients and in
the subsequent phase juice is separated from the pulp. Juice pressed out in this
way contains minimal fibre content and so is characterised by a high purity, it
is slower to oxidise and retains valuable vitamins and enzymes. The strainer is
automatically cleaned during operation and so it is not excessively clogged and
is easier to clean after use.
■
This juicer is suitable for juicing both soft and hard fruits and vegetables
such as citrus fruits, currants, gooseberries and other berries, apples, pears,
carrots, beetroot, cucumbers, pineapple, melon, etc. It can even handle leafy
vegetables, however we recommend to process them together with other fruits
and vegetables.
■
It is not particularly suitable for juicing purely leafy vegetables, overripe fruits or
floury apples.
BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Remove all packaging materials from the appliance and its accessories.
2. Thoroughly wash all removable parts (pusher
A1
, feed tube with hopper and
lid
A2
, auger
A3
, strainer
A4
, strainer holder
A5
, juice collector
A6
, the juice jug
A8
and pulp container
A10
) that come into contact with food in warm water
using kitchen detergent. Then rinse all these parts under clean running water
and thoroughly wipe dry with a fine wiping cloth.
Attention:
No part of this juicer is designed to be washed in a dishwasher.
ASSEMBLING THE JUICER
1. Place the base
A12
on an even, dry and stable surface. During assembly, the
appliance must be turned off and disconnected from the power socket.
2. Pick up the juice collector
A6
and turn it upside down. There is a black silicone
plug on the bottom of the collector at the pulp outlet
A9
. To prevent pulp from
escaping out off the outlet
A9
, it is necessary to properly seal the hole at the
outlet
A9
with the silicone plug.
Note:
To enable easier cleaning, the pulp outlet
A9
has a hole with a silicone
plug.
3. Put the juice collector
A6
to its correct position. Place it on the base
A12
so
that the projections on the top side of the base
A12
slide into the holes on the
bottom of the juice collector
A6
. Turn the juice collector
A6
clockwise to firmly
connect it to the base
A12
. When the juice collector
A6
is correctly attached to
the base
A12
, it cannot be lifted up separately.
4. Insert the strainer
A4
into the holder
A5
.
5. Into the juice collector
A6
, place the holder
A5
with the inserted strainer
A4
so that the symbol “ ” on the strainer
A4
is in alignment with the same symbol
marked on the juice collector
A6
. Push the holder
A5
with the strainer
A4
downwards.
6. Insert the auger
A3
into the strainer
A4
and push it downwards. A correctly
seated auger
A3
is signalled by an audible click.
7. Place the feed tube with hopper and lid
A2
on to the juice collector
A6
. If the
hopper is removed from the feed tube
A2
, first connect these two parts. Make
sure that the open lock symbol marked on the lid
A2
is aligned with the “ ”
symbol on the juice collector
A6
. Then turn the feed tube
A2
clockwise all the
way. This will secure the lid
A2
on the juice collector
A6
. The symbol “ ” marked
on the juice collector
A6
will now be aligned with the closed lock symbol on the
lid
A2
.
8. Insert the pusher
A1
into the feed tube
A2
.
USING THE JUICER
1. Make sure that the juicer is correctly assembled and then connect it to the
power socket. The juicer is equipped with a safety mechanism that prevents it
from being started unless the lid is correctly secured in the correct position.
2. Place the juice jug
A8
, a glass or another suitable container below the juice
spout
A7
. Open the lock of the juice spout
A7
so that the juiced juice can flow
freely out of the juice collector
A6
. Place the pulp container
A10
below the pulp
outlet
A9
.
3. Prepare the fruit or vegetables. Thoroughly wash the ingredients and cut them
up into pieces that will pass through the feed tube
A2
. Remove hard stones
that are contained in, for example, apricots, peaches, mangoes, etc. and inedible
peels, e.g. from oranges, pineapples, melons, mandarins, etc.
4. Prior to starting the juicer, make sure that the lid is properly secured in the
correct position. To turn on the juicer, turn the control dial
A11
to the ON
position. Take the pusher
A1
out of the feed tube
A2
hole. Gradually add the
prepared ingredients into the feed tube
A2
and push them down using the
pusher
A1
. You will achieve optimal results if you fill the feed tube
A2
gradually
pushing the ingredients down gently.
Attention:
Do not use fingers or other utensils to push ingredients through the feed
tube
A2
. Always use the pusher
A1
designed for this purpose.
The maximum time of non-stop operation of this appliance is 15 minutes.
Then allow it to cool down for 10 minutes.
5. If the juice jug
A8
or pulp container
A10
fill up during the juicing process, turn
the juicer off by turning the control dial
A11
to the OFF position, empty out the
respective container and then put it back in its place. Then you can put the juicer
back into operation and continue juicing.
6. When you have finished juicing, we recommend that you remove pulp remains
from the juice collector
A6
. Hold the control dial
A11
in the “R” position (reverse
motor rotation) for 3–5 seconds, and then release it so that it returns to the
OFF position. Repeat the entire process two to three times. You can do the
same in the event that you clog up the appliance with an excessive amount of
ingredients.
7. Turn the juicer off by setting the control dial
A11
to the OFF position and
disconnect it from the power socket. Prior to removing the juice jug
A8
, we
recommended closing the spout
A7
so that juice does not drip out of it.
8. Disassemble the juicer, see chapter Disassembling the juicer and clean it out
according to the instructions contained in chapter Cleaning and maintenance.
DISASSEMBLING THE JUICER
1. Before disassembling the juicer, make sure that it is turned off and disconnected
from the power socket. Make sure that all parts that move during operation
have stopped moving.
2. Close the juice spout
A7
and remove the juice jug
A8
and the pulp container
A10
. Take the pusher
A1
out of the feed tube
A2
.
3. Turn the feed tube
A2
anticlockwise until the open lock symbol shown on the
lid
A2
is aligned with the symbol “ ” on the juice collector
A6
and then take it off
the juice collector
A6
.
4. Remove the juice collector
A6
with the holder
A5
, strainer
A4
and auger
A3
inside off the base
A12
by turning it anticlockwise and lifting it up.
Note:
It will be easier to take the juice collector
A6
off the base
A12
when the
pulp remains are cleaned out after juicing, as described in point 6 in
chapter Using the juicer.
5. Take the auger
A3
, strainer
A4
and holder
A5
out of the juice collector
A6
.
