12. 

It will take approximately 2-3 hours for one batch of  fruit to 

go through the entire juicing process.  However, times may vary 

depending upon your burner temperature, altitude and the type 

of  fruit you use.

13. Stirring the fruit is not recommended as that will result in 

cloudy juice.

  For clean, clear-looking juice it is best to leave the 

fruit untouched during the juicing process.

14. 

You can check for juice one of  two ways: First, carefully squeeze 

open the hose clamp and juice will automatically begin draining 

into the saucepot if  there is enough. Second, lift the juice hose 

straight up by holding onto the clamp.  

DO NOT TOUCH 

THE HOSE AS IT WILL BE VERY HOT.

  If  you do not see 

any juice in the hose, then there is not enough juice in your juice 

kettle to be measured, using this method. (See diagram below).

15. 

If  you will be juicing several batches of  fruit in a row, be sure to 

juice one colander full at a time and remove waste before adding 

another batch for optimal performance.  Be sure you do not 

wait too long before draining the juice kettle, as the juice could 

overflow into the water pot below.  The juice kettle holds up to 

4.5 quarts of  juice.
