Using the juicer

Place the juicer on a flat, level surface.
Connect the plug into a suitable socket outlet.
Place the juice jug (8) under the spout (6) and remove the plunger (1) (Fig. 5).
NOTICE
Always wash fruits and vegetables before juicing. Remove large seeds, pips, and peels as they may block or damage the rotating sieve (4). Remove thick piths for the best taste. Cut larger fruit and vegetables into smaller pieces so they can fit into the funnel.
Prepare fruits and vegetables to juice.
Put a small amount of the prepared fruits and/or vegetables into the funnel (2).
Place the plunger back into the funnel and gently press down.
Turn the power switch (9) to the desired setting.
When the fruits and vegetables have been juiced, turn the power switch to 0. Remove the plunger and continue to juice any remaining fruits and vegetables. Monitor the juice jug (8) and pulp container (12) to make sure they do not overflow.

Emptying the pulp container

Ensure the power switch (9) is turned to 0 and the plug is disconnected.
Unlock the locking handles (7) and remove the lid (3).
Lift the pulp container (12) away from the main body (10).
Empty the container into a food waste bin or composting bin.

Usage tips

Always place the plunger (1) into the funnel (2) before turning the juicer on to prevent splattering.
Clean the rotating sieve (4) at regular intervals to prevent blockage when juicing a large amount of fruits and vegetables.
It is recommended to pour a small amount of fruit juice into the juicer when juicing soft fruits and vegetables.
Use fresh fruit and vegetables at peak ripeness as these contain the most juice.
Fruits with pits and hard seeds such as nectarines, peaches, apricots, plums, and cherries must be pitted before juicing.
Starchy fruits and vegetables (e.g. banana, mango, sugar cane, avocado, pumpkin) are not suitable for juicing.
Roll up leafy vegetables (e.g. cabbage and spinach) to fit into the funnel.
The most suitable fruits and vegetables for juicing include: orange, grapefruit, lemon, lime, apple, melon, pineapple, tomato, cucumber, and carrots.
Drink juice immediately after juicing. The juice will lose taste and nutritional value if it is left exposed to air for a long period of time.
Fresh apple juice may turn brown when exposed to air. Add lemon juice to slow down browning.
Leftover pulp after juicing can be used in cake and muffin recipes.
Add sparkling or still water to dilute the juice.
