• Cut fruit and vegetables into suitable sizes
to fit the Feed Tube.
• Remove stones and hard seeds from fruits
such as peaches, plums and apricots.
• Remove skin from citrus fruits and other
thick skinned fruits eg. watermelon.
• Leafy vegetables should be rolled up tightly
into compact balls or rolls.
• Apricots, bananas, peaches, pears, melons
and strawberries are soft-textured fruits.
The juice extracted from these fruits is very
thick and is known as nectar. It is best to
alternate processing of these juices with
thinner juices, such as carrots, apples, etc.
Process softtextured fruits first, followed
by firmer fruits and vegetables, in order to
ensure maximum removal of thick juice.
• Allow the motor to run for approximately
1 to 2 seconds after you have finished
feeding fruit and vegetables into the Feed
Tube. This allows the maximum amount of
juice to be extracted.
• Add a few teaspoons of lemon juice to
your juice container before juicing to keep
juices from discolouring.
• Serve juices immediately for maximum
vitamin retention. Store juice in the
refrigerator, covered. Do not store for more
than 48 hours, unless canning or freezing.
• Some pulp remaining in juice is normal.
It increases the juice’s flavour and nutritive
value.
• The season, age and ripeness of the fruit
will have an effect on the amount of juice
extracted.
