Ensure that  the ratings of your mains power supply correspond to the requirements of the appliance (220 – 240 V ~, 50 – 60 Hz, rated for 16 A). The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly recommended. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.

• In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are subject to incompatible norms. Therefore, it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries do not meet the requirements for safe operation of the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad, ensure that safe operation is possible.

• Do not use any desk top multi socket outlet, external timer, remote control system or extension cord. The power outlet must always be easily accessible for unplugging the appliance immediately in case of any malfunction or danger.Always handle power cords with care.
  The pins of the power plug must be smooth, dry, and clean without discolourations. Always unwind the power cord completely for operation to avoid hazard of overheating, fire, and electric shock.
  Do not attempt to operate the appliance with the power cord damaged in any way to avoid risk of overheating, fire, and electric shock.

• Do not place the appliance on a power cord. Power cords may never be knotted, twisted, pulled, strained or squeezed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter. The power cord may never touch hot surfaces, sharp edges, or any moving parts.
  Ensure that no one will pull the appliance by the power cord or will entangle in the power cord. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the power cord. Do not touch the appliance or power plug with wet hands, while the appliance is connected to the power supply.

• Keep the motor base and power cord always completely dry. If liquids run out or are spilled onto the exterior of the appliance, immediately unplug the appliance. Always wipe off spilled liquids immediately. If in doubt, check the used juicing system for leakage and overflow, before operating the appliance again.

• Do not overfill the containers of the appliance (juice jug, pulp container). If required, empty the container in time. Otherwise, liquids could run out, causing risk of short circuit and electric shock.

• Do not place or immerse the motor base or power cord in water or any other liquid. DO NOT spill or drip any liquids on the motor base or the power cord to avoid risk of fire and electric shock. When parts of the appliance are leaking during operation and/or liquids accumulate under the motor base or run down on the exterior of the appliance, immediately unplug the appliance. Refer to the instructions in chapter ‘Solving Problems’.

MOVING PARTS – RISKS OF INJURIES

• Before opening the juicing system for removing obstacles, and before disassembling any parts: always switch OFF the appliance (selection dial to “OFF”, power switch to “O”) and unplug the appliance.
• After switching off, the motor may still turn for a moment. Always wait until the motor stops completely before disassembling or moving the appliance.
• Do not attempt to corrupt the safety interlocks of the appliance to avoid severe injuries and damage due to vigorously moving, sharp knives. Do not handle the appliance or any part of it with violence.
• DO NOT insert your fingers or any foreign objects (e.g. cooking utensils, clothes, brushes) into the feed chute or pulp spout of the juicing system, while the juicing system (juicer or glass jug) is placed on the motor base and the appliance is connected to the power supply. For juicing, do not attempt to use any other utensils but the provided food pusher to push down the food in the feed chute.
• During operation, do not hold your face over the appliance (e.g. feed chute. Liquids or hard parts of the processed foods could be hurled out. The knives of the juicing sieve are very sharp. Close supervision is necessary while handling the juicing sieve to avoid injuries. Always grasp the juicing sieve by the rim or drive coupling. Handle the juicing sieve with care and without violation. Use a fine nylon brush for cleaning. For storage, always assemble the juicing system on the appliance to avoid touching the knives unintentionally.

PROPERTIES OF YOUR NEW MULTI JUICER

The Design Multi Juicer Digital is intended for juicing fruit, vegetables, and juicy greens and herbs. Additionally, you may use the capabilities of this system for breaking and cutting tough fibres of fruit and vegetables that would be wound around the knives, when processed by a food processor.
To meet the requirements of different types of food, the high-performance motor can be operated at various speeds. Speed selection is done effortlessly via the continuously adjustable selection dial. The selected speed level is shown on the display.
FEATURES FOR SAFE, INTUITIVE, AND CLEAN HANDLING
Each part of the juicing systems, coming in contact with food during normal operation, can be removed after operation. Thus, the appliance can be cleaned hygienically without effort. Additionally, you may clean the pulp container, juicing sieve, juice jug (composed of jug, lid, and pouring shield) in an automatic dishwasher.
The various components of the juicing systems match closely and tightly to each other. This way, splashing is reduced and food and juices will not run out, thus keeping your workspace clean as far as possible. Additionally, due to the safety interlocks it is almost impossible to operate the appliance, if it is not assembled correctly and safely.

• The pulp container protrusion at the bottom of the motor base and the spout groove in the top plate of the motor base ensure that the pulp container, juice collector, and juicing cover are positioned in correct orientation avoiding errors when assembling the juicing system. When assembled correctly, the pulp container is fixed securely to the motor base and will not slip away, even if the appliance is moving around, due to vibrations during operation.
• The designated juice jug fits closely to the juice spout of the juice collector, thus avoiding splashing. If required, the removable pouring shield of the juice jug can restrain the froth during pouring.
• A manually operated drip-stop feature at the juice spout avoids dripping, when removing the juice jug after operation (see: ‘Drip-Stop Feature’).
• Various safety interlocks and an additional separate power switch enable safe handling (see below: ‘Safety Features’).

Note
You may use any type of vessel for collecting the juices during juicing, but we recommend to use the provided juice jug, which is designed to fit closely to the juice spout and will prevent the juices from splashing and running down onto your working space.
Important: For your safety and convenience, the appliance will not operate, until it is assembled correctly. Do not operate the appliance with any of the safety features corrupted! See: ‘Safety Features’.
FUNCTIONS, DISPLAY, AND ACOUSTIC SIGNALS
For each step of operation (switching on, selecting a speed), an acoustic signal sounds. The display will be illuminated as soon as you select a speed and the speed level (1 to 5) will be shown with an example for the type of fruit that may be successfully juiced using the current selection.
Important: The acoustic signals and illumination of the display are operating independently on the state of the safety interlocks. These features will make you aware that the appliance is in operational mode. If the appliance does not work even with the display showing a speed selection, in most cases the safety interlocks are not engaged correctly (see: ‘Solving Problems’).
DRIP-STOP FEATURE
At the juice spout, a drip-stop is located. After switching off the motor and before removing the juice jug, simply turn the stainless steel sleeve of the juice spout by 180° to the closed position to stop dripping. This will keep your working space clean.
Important: Do not forget to open the drip-stop again, before juicing the next portion. Otherwise, the juice collector could overflow. With the drip-stop in the open position, the small dark plastic handle at the stainless steel sleeve will point towards you and the juices can run out freely from the juice collector.
SAFETY FEATURES
Additional Power Switch
An additional power switch at the rear of the appliance enhances safety during operation. The appliance is working with very sharp blades at high speed causing severe injuries and damage, when touched with your hands or any foreign objects during operation. When opening the cover of the juicer for removing excessive pulp from the juicing sieve, always turn the speed selection dial to “OFF” and switch off at the power switch, before unplugging the appliance. This will guarantee that the motor cannot start accidentally and unexpectedly.
Safety Interlocks
Various safety interlocks ensure correct and safe operation of the Multi Juicer and protect you form injuries and damage, if the appliance is not assembled and operated correctly.

• To avoid the risk of injuries caused by the drive rotor, the juice collector, juicing sieve, and juicer cover must be inserted correctly and the safety locking arm must be fixed in the upper closed position to hold the parts securely in place.

The appliance will not operate, if even one of the safety interlocks is not closed correctly. Do not attempt to inactivate the safety interlocks.
CAUTION: If the motor does not start when selecting a speed, always switch off the appliance before checking, which safety interlock of the appliance is not closed correctly. When in operational mode (display is illuminated), the motor will start agitating IMMEDIATELY as soon as the affected safety interlocks are engaged.
Self-Resetting Overheat Protection Device
If overheating occurs, the appliance will automatically stop operation at once Therefore this safeguard against overheating of the motor ensures an elongated working life of the motor. If the overheat protection device is triggered, switch off the appliance completely (turn the selection dial to “OFF” and switch off at the rear power switch), remove the power plug from the mains power supply and leave the motor cool down by waiting approx. 30 minutes. Overheating may be caused by …

• too much food in the processing system. Always observe the MAX filling levels of the containers as given in chapter ‘Technical Specifications’. When juicing, do not push down your food with too much pressure. Take out some food and try again.
• too hard ingredients or too much fibres obstructing the juicing sieve.
• the appliance has been operated continuously for an elongated time. If an elongated processing time is really required, you need to make sufficient brakes.
• hard ingredients or too much fibres are gridlocked within the knives and block the drive. Remove the used juicing system from the motor base and remove the obstacle (see: ‘Operation’ and ‘Care and Cleaning’). Perhaps, you need to use another processing system for processing your food.

Tip: You may use the required time for cooling down (approx. 30 minutes) to remove any obstacles and blockages in the used juicing system and preparing another portion of your food. After solving the problem and leaving the motor cool down, you can reactivate the appliance quite as normal.
Important: For performing the reset, the appliance MUST be unplugged from the power outlet.
Electronic Overload Protection
The Multi Juicer will automatically stop operation, if the motor is stalled for more than 10 seconds. Either too much food is being processed at a time or the pieces are too large or too hard.
Switch off the motor (selection dial to “OFF”, power switch to “O”) and unplug the appliance. Remove the obstacleby removing your food from the filling chute and juicing sieve. Thereafter, you may re-assume operation quite as normally. Process your food with less pressure and in smaller portions.
Automatic Shut-Off
The appliance is programmed for continuously operating max. 20 minutes. After approx. 20 minutes in operational mode, the appliance will switch off the motor automatically, ensuring that the motor is protected from overheating, if you have forgotten to make a break in time. Another 40 seconds after the automatic shut-off, even the display will get dark automatically.
If you wish to re-activate the appliance, simply turn the selection dial to another speed. The motor will start again immediately.
CAUTION: After an automatic shut-off, the motor will re-start immediately, when turning the selection dial! This will happen even if the display has been switched off and is dark. We strongly recommend to switch off the appliance via the power switch at the rear of the motor base, before turning the selection dial to the “OFF” position. This way, you avoid that the motor will start with a possibly high speed, that had been selected before the automatic shut-off has been triggered.
Important: Although the appliance can be re-activated immediately after the automatic shut-off, we strongly recommend to leave the motor cool down for approx. 20 minutes before re-assuming operation. This holds especially, when working at high speed levels (4-5), having filled in large amounts and/or pushed hard during jucing, or processing thick ingredients (heavy load). Applying heavy load for a too long time is done at the expense of the working life of the motor.
Note
If the motor cannot be re-activated at once, the overheat protection device may be triggered. In this case, there is no way of starting the motor without leaving the motor cool down first (see: ‘Self-Resetting Overheat Protection Device’).
METHOD OF OPERATION AND MAKING BREAKS
The high-performance motor of the appliance is designed for an elongated working life when operated in usual household use. For preserving the working life of the motor, avoid overload and overheating.

• Normal load: When juicing soft fruit and vegetables, you may operate the appliance continuously for approx. 20 minutes. Thereafter, the automatic shut-off will stop the motor (see: ‘Automatic Shut-Off’).
• Heavy load: When filling hard ingredients (e.g. carrots) into the feed chute and pushing with high pressure, after 7 minutes of continuous operation you should make a brake of 20 minutes.

Important: To save energy and avoid overheating of the motor, do not leave the appliance operate uselessly. Additionally, when operating the appliance continuously for a too long period and/or with too heavy load, or if the motor stalls for more than 10 seconds the safety features protecting the motor may be triggered.
In this case, the appliance will stop operation at once (see: ‘Safety Features’). After 20 minutes of continuous operation, make a break of approx. 20 minutes. It is a good idea to use this time for preparing another portion of food, emptying the juice jug and/or pulp container, and/or ensuring that the system is free of obstacles. Start the motor at the lowest speed level and leave it operate for approx.
5 seconds before selecting the desired speed and filling in your food. Avoid too much pressure when juicing.
As well, avoid filling in too large amounts of very hard and fibrous food to avoid overload. If the motor stalls, switch off immediatly and remove the obstacles. If required, process your food in smaller portions and/ or, if applicable, process hard ingredients  ombined with soft food.

TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

TIPS FOR JUICING

• When processing fruit and vegetables, 95% of the nutrients will be found in the juices. Especially, this holds for vitamins soluble in water and for minerals.
  However, it is unavoidable that high amounts of valuable nutrients get lost during storing. Thus freshly prepared juices are an essential source of healthful nutrients.

• Each type of fruit and vegetables has an individual content of juices. Additionally, the amount of juices you can get, depends on the type, quality, and freshness of the ingredients. A special batch of tomatoes may give off more juice as another.
  The recipes for juices do not require exact amounts and juicing is always done with high tolerances. Exact proportions are not crucial for getting delightful drinks.

• Some types of fruit and vegetables are not suited for juicing with this type of juicer. For example, for getting juices of mangoes, some citrus fruit, and quinces, you may need to squeeze them.
  Purchasing and Storing Fruit and Vegetables

• Always use fresh fruit and vegetables. Buy your ingredients in small portions, thus avoiding long periods of storage.

• To preserve the valuable nutrients, consume freshly prepared juices straightaway.

• You can save money and get really fresh ingredients, when buying seasonal products.

• Most fruit and vegetables may be stored at a cool place. Only delicate food (e.g. greens, stalks of celery, cucumbers, herbs) need to be stored in the refrigerator. Fresh herbs and delicate greens should be packed in an airtight bag or box and consumed before long.

• Whenever possible, buy highly perishable food (e.g. greens, most berries) just before processing and consumption.
  Preparing Fruit and Vegetables for Juicing

• Before juicing, peel fruit with hard and inedible shells and skins (e.g. melons, kiwi fruit).

• Always remove stones and hard seeds, before juicing; e.g. when processing dates, nectarines, peaches, apricots, plums, or cherries.

• Citrus fruit must be peeled before juicing, and there will be a lot of pulp within the juice. Depending on the type of fruit, the juice may be very sour. It may the better to use a special citrus squeezer and add the juice to other juices for adapting the taste. Depending on the desired consistency of the juice, you may get good results, when juicing citrus fruit in turn with the other ingredients.

• Your juicer can make a delicious, frothy orange drink. For this, it is best to refrigerate the oranges and then peel just before juicing. Give it a try.

• You avoid the typical brownish discolouration of apple juice or pulp by adding a splash of lemon juice. Alternatively, add a piece of lemon during juicing.
  The Method

• You may line the interior of the pulp container with a sufficiently large bag. This way, emptying the pulp container is done quickly and easily by taking out the bag. Fold the upper rim of the bag over the rim of the pulp container before positioning the pulp container at the side of the appliance.

• Even some time after operation, the juice may drip from the juice spout of the juice collector. You can stop dripping by simply turning the drip-stop by 180° (see: ‘Drip-Stop Feature’). However, do not forget to re-open the drip-stop, before juicing another portion.

• You can keep your working space clean, when holding a sufficiently large tray at hand for placing the parts of the juicing system on it, when disassembling the juicer.

• The transparent insert in the juice jug (pouring shield) avoids splashing of the juice during pouring and holds back the froth. You may use the juice jug without the pouring shield. Simply pull the pouring shield out of the juice jug or push it down into support within the juice jug as you like.

• When juicing various ingredients with different consistency, you will get the best results, when alternating hard and soft ingredients. For example: for processing carrots and tomatoes, start with a portion of carrots, then proceed with tomatoes and finish your work with carrots. This way, intermediately the fibres of the carrots are flushed from the mesh of the juicing sieve and the juicer will extract the optimum amount of juices.

• For processing herbs, sprouts, or small leaves of greens, wrap these ingredients in a large leaf of lettuce or spinach. If possible, fill these ingredients in the middle of the feed chute between other large ingredients.

• Insert cigar-shaped fruit and vegetables (e.g. carrots, parsnips, radish, cucumbers, courgettes) with the tip down into the feed chute.

• To get the largest possible amount of juice and to avoid overloading the motor, push the ingredients down in the feed chute evenly and slowly.

• Some types of fruit, spices, or vegetables (e.g. capsicum, carrots, citrus fruit) may cause discolouration or leave opaque stains at the transparent plastic parts. This will not influence the performance of the juicing system. Do not leave any food dry on the surfaces to reduce discolouration and damage to the surfaces. Especially residues of food that could easily lead to discolouration and stains on the transparent plastic parts should be removed immediately after processing.

• Avoid storing the juices or pulp within the juice jug or pulp container of the appliance to avoid discolouration and damage to the surfaces.
  The Best Blend

• It is quite easy to create a delightful juice drink. Combine your favourite ingredients for getting the colour, flavour, and consistency according to your individual liking.

• Strong aromas should be used very sparingly when combined with delicate flavours. Ingredients with high content of starch and fibres go perfectly with very juicy ingredients.

• Give it a try! Each type of fruit or vegetables you like, could be a part of your next drink. For example, select one special type of fruit as the main component of your drink and refine the taste with other flavours.

• With each batch of food you process, the amount of juices and the intensiveness of flavours could differ a little. You could like this bit of daily variation.
  Using the Pulp

• Starch and fibres are the major part of the pulp, but as well, it will contain a lot of nutrients, essential for your daily diet. There are many ways of using the pulp.
  However, to avoid high loss of vitamins and a lack in taste, as with the juices, you should consume the pulp at the day of preparation.

• You can use the pulp for yogurt and fromage frais, for filling roulades, for thickening soups and sauces, and, covered with meringe and baked in the oven, for a quickly prepared dessert. Perhaps, you will like it spiced to taste as a sandwich spread.

• The pulp is too valuable for domestic waste. If you do not wish to consume it, you may disposed of the pulp as compost.

BEFORE FIRST USE

WARNING: DO NOT let children play with the appliance or any part of it! The knives of the juicing sieve are very sharp! Always use special care when handling the juicing sieve. Only hold the juicing sieve by the rim. Always unplug the appliance before cleaning or moving it, before assembling or disassembling any parts, and when the appliance is not in use. Do not place or immerse the motor base or power cord in water or other liquids or spill any liquids on the motor base. Do not use any abrasive or corrosive cleaners for cleaning to avoid damage to the surfaces. Do not place the motor base in an automatic dishwasher.
For operation, always unwind the power cord completely (approx. 110 cm) to avoid overheating and risk of fire and electric shock!

1. Unpack the appliance and all parts carefully. Handle the juicing sieve with special care, because the integrated knives are very sharp. Check that no parts are damaged or missing (see: ‘Knowing Your New Multi Juicer’).
2. Carefully remove all packaging, shipping materials, stickers, and promotional materials. However, DO NOT remove the model label or warning labels.
3. Before first use and after an elongated period of storage, clean all parts of the appliance (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’). Take the power cord completely out of the cord storage in the baseplate of the motor base. Push the power cord into the guiding groove at the rear part of the baseplate.
4. Position the motor base with the display facing towards you on the designated working place near an appropriate wall power outlet. The locking arm must be lowered to the horizontal open position.

Important: When operating the appliance for the first time, there may be a slight burnt smell from the motor. There is no need for concern. However, if the problem persists even after repeated use, get in contact with an authorized service centre.

MOUNTING THE JUICING SYSTEM

1. Place the pulp container tightly against the left side of the motor base. The pulp container protrusion at the baseplate of the motor base must slide completely into the groove at the bottom of the pulp container.
   Important: Ensure that the exterior of the juice collector is clean and dry, before mounting it on the motor base to avoid that residues of food and liquids get into the motor base and/or clog the safety interlocks.

2. Place the juice collector on the motor base with the juice spout facing to the locking arm. Make the juice spout slide into the spout groove and the pulp guttering into the pulp container. Ensure that the drip-stop of the juice spout is turned to the open position: the dark bar at the stainless steel sleeve of the juice spout will be facing towards you.
   CAUTION: The knives of the juicing sieve are very sharp. Hold the juicing sieve at the rim.

3. Insert the juicing sieve into the centre of the juice collector and press it down without violence to lock it to the drive rotor. If required, turn the juicing sieve to and fro to achieve the correct orientation before pressing it down.

4. With the pulp spout sliding into the pulp container, place the juicer cover onto the juice collector and press it down slightly without violence until it settles firmly on the juice collector. There may be no gap between the juicer cover and the juice collector.

5. Carefully lift the locking arm up to the vertical closed position by pushing the locking arm onto the support on the juicer cover until it tangibly engages. If attached correctly, the locking arm will be fixed in this position.

6. Place the juice jug under the juice spout. Then cover the juice jug with the designated lid. The appliance is now ready for juicing.

Note
We recommend using the designated juice jug, because some juices may froth and splash at the juice spout. In any case, by covering the juice jug with the appropriate lid, you avoid that splashes will escape from the juice spout.
Tip: For juicing, you may place any sufficiently large jug, drinking glass or mug under the juice spout. In this case, keep in mind that splashing could occur and juices could run down at the exterior of the used vessel.

OPERATION

WARNING: Always ensure that the appliance and all its parts and accesso- ries are out of reach of young children. Handle the juicing sieve with special care, because the integrated knives are very sharp.
Switch off completely (selection dial to “OFF”, power switch to “O”), wait until the motor stops, and unplug the appliance, before assembling or disassembling any parts, and when the appliance is not in use. Do not leave the motor base unattended, while it is connected to the power supply. Do not overfill pulp container or juice jug to avoid overflow. During juicing, ensure that the juices will run into the juice jug without obstacles. Otherwise, the juice could run on or under the motor base due to overflow of the juice collector.
If any liquids run out during operation or are accumulating under the motor base, immediately unplug the appliance and carefully remove the processing system from the motor base. Then clean and dry the motor base (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’). Leave the motor base dry naturally for at least 1 day. If in doubt, use water for checking the system for leakage (see: ‘Solving Problems’).
Before filling in food, always ensure that you have mounted the used juicing system completely and correctly without any leakage (see: ‘Mounting the Juicing System ’). Always observe the maximum amount designated for the pulp container and juice jug (see: ‘Technical Specifications’). If the juicing system is overfilled, food or liquid may run out.
Ensure to place the appliance on a suitable, level working space. Always keep a sufficient distance to the edge of the working space and to other objects. Due to vibrations during operation, the appliance might move around on the working space. While the motor is agitating, always have an eye on it.
Important: The motor is programmed to operate continuously on normal load for approx. 20 minutes. Thereafter, it will stop automatically (see: ‘Automatic ShutOff’). Make a break of 20 minutes. On heavy load (large amounts of hard and fibrous ingredients), you should make breaks each 7 minutes of operation. For reducing energy consumption and preventing overheating, it is good advice to switch off the appliance intermediately, when preparing another portion of food.
JUICING FRUITS, VEGETABLES, AND HERBS
Note
For keeping your workspace clean, it is good advice to hold a sufficiently large tray at hand, where you can lay the parts of the juicer aside, when opening the juicing system.

1. Prepare the ingredients by carefully washing them and removing all inedible parts (e.g. stalks, shells, and seeds). Cut very large ingredients to make them fit easily through the feed chute.

2. Prepare the appliance for operation (see: ‘Mounting the Juicing System’’). Ensure to place the juice jug or any other sufficient vessel under the juice spout. Ensure that the drip-stop is in open position (dark handle is facing towards you). Ensure to switch off the appliance completely (selection dial to “OFF”, power switch to “O”).
   CAUTION: Please keep in mind that the appliance could start operation imme-diately, when connecting the appliance to the power supply, while the power switch and selection dial are in operating position. Thus, always switch off the appliance, at the power switch and selection dial, before plugging in the power plug.

3. Insert the power plug into a sufficient wall power outlet (see: ‘Important Safeguards for Electrical Appliances’). Switch on the appliance at the power switch and turn the selection dial to the speed level 1. With the appliance assembled correctly, the motor starts operation, spinning the juicing sieve (if not, see: ‘Solving Problems’).

4. Leave the motor agitate for approx. 5 seconds. Then turn the selection dial to the desired speed, according to the type of food you wish to process (see: ‘Tips for Best Results’).
   WARNING: The juicer is cutting the food via sharp blades. To avoid severe injuries, do not grasp into the feed chute with your hands or hold any foreign objects into the feed chute, while the appliance is connected to the power supply. For pushing down the food, only use the dedicated food pusher. During operation, do not hold your face over the feed chute, because parts of the food and splashes of juice could be hurled out.

5. Loosely fill some parts of the prepared food into the feed chute and use the food pusher to push your food slightly down. The juices will run into the juice jug, and the pulp will be hurled into the pulp container.

6. When the feed chute is empty, you may refill the feed chute immediately with the next portion.
   Note
   Press your food down continuously and evenly, but do not apply too much pressure to get the optimum amount of juices. When pressing too hard, the pulp will be very wet and there will be only little juice. Additionally, the juicing sieve could get clogged easily.
   Ensure to avoid overfilling the juice jug or pulp container during operation. The pulp must fall easily and without obstacles into the pulp container. Empty the containers in time (see: ‘Emptying the Containers and Removing Obstacles’).
   Important: During operation, ensure that the juice is running into the juice jug and the pulp is falling freely into the pulp container. Otherwise, check the juicing system for obstacles (see: ‘Emptying the Containers and Removing Obstacles’ and ‘Solving Problems’).

7. After juicing, turn the selection dial to “OFF”, switch the power switch to “O”, and wait until the motor stops. Unplug the appliance. Remove the juicing system from the motor base (see: ‘Disassembling the Juicing System’).

8. Empty and rinse the containers of the appliance and all parts of the juicing system immediately after juicing. Then clean all used parts (see: ‘Cleaning the Juicing System’).

Note
Do not store juices and pulp in the containers of the appliance to avoid that food dries on the surfaces. Additionally, some food may cause discolouration. For storage, fill the products into sufficient containers and clean the containers of the appliance immediately thereafter. Pulp and juices may be stored in the refrigerator for 1 day at the maximum. However, for always getting the optimum benefits of vitamins and other valuable nutrients, it is best to always freshly prepare and consume your juices.
EMPTYING THE CONTAINERS AND REMOVING OBSTACLES
During juicing, ensure that the juice is running into the juice jug and the pulp is falling freely into the pulp container. Ingredients containing a lot of hard fibres could easily clog the juicing sieve, especially when applying hard pressure to the food pusher during juicing. Additionally, fine residues of the pulp could clog the juice collector or the juice spout, causing overflow. If you push down the food in the feed chute too fast, the juicing sieve could be overfilled too.
In these cases, you need to empty the juice collector and juicing sieve and clean the juice mesh of the juicing sieve, before you can continue operation. For this, follow the instructions in this section and see also: ‘Solving Problems’.

1. Turn the selection dial to the “OFF” position (display gets dark), switch off the appliance at the power switch, wait until the motor stops, and unplug the appliance.
   WARNING: The blades in the base plate of the juicing sieve are very sharp.
   Always handle the juicing sieve by the rim or dark drive coupling.
   Tip: To avoid dripping after removing the juice jug, you may turn the drip- stop to the closed position (see: ‘Properties of Your New Multi Juicer / Drip- Stop Feature’).

2. Remove the juice jug from the appliance and push the locking arm out of the support at the juicer cover. then remove the juicer cover (see: ‘Disassembling the Juicing System’).

3. Pull the juicing sieve upwards and out of the juice collector. You will notice a slight resistance of the drive coupling. Check the juice collector, and juice spout for obstacles. Additionally check, if the pulp can fall freely into the pulp container and will not accumulate at the pulp guttering.
   Important: Always brush the base plate of the juicing sieve clockwise to avoid damage to the knives and for better removing residues of fibres from the knives.

4. Removing residues of food from the juicing sieve:
   Rinse the juicing sieve under cold running tap water. You may clean the base plate of the juicing sieve with the knives by carefully brushing the base plate and the mesh clockwise with a soft brush and rinse. For checking, if the fine pores of the mesh are clean, hold the juicing sieve up to the light.

5. Removing obstacles from the juice collector and juice spout:
   Place a bowl under the juice spout and open the drip-stop. Then use a small, fine, and clean brush or a small, soft plastic spatula to push any blocking pulp down and out. Push any residues of pulp into the pulp container that have been accumulated at the pulp guttering.

6. Emptying the juice jug and pulp container: To avoid that the lid will fall during pouring, remove the lid of the juice jug, before slowly pouring the juice. With the pouring shield installed, the froth will be retained within the juice jug. Grasp the pulp container by the handling groove and tilt the pulp container a little for pulling it out from under the pulp guttering of the juice collector. Empty the pulp container over a large bowl.

7. Re-assuming juicing:
   Hold the pulp container tilted and push it under the pulp guttering of the juice collector. May be, you need to lift the juice collector a little. Ensure that the pulp guttering is reaching over the rim into the pulp container (see: ‘Mounting the Juicing System’).
   Wipe dry the juicing sieve thoroughly – especially the drive coupling. Replace the juicing sieve and push it down slightly onto the drive rotor. Then replace the juicer cover. Lift the locking arm and push the locking arm into the support at the juicer cover. Ensure to open the drip-stop (dark bar on the stainless steel sleeve is facing towards you). Replace the juice jug.

8. Thereafter, you may continue juicing.

WARNING: Always ensure that all parts of the appliance are out of reach of young children. Always switch OFF (turn the selection dial to the “OFF” position, switch the power switch to “O”) and unplug the appliance, before cleaning the appliance.
Do not spill or pour any liquids on or in the motor base or power cord. Do not place or immerse the motor base or power cord in any liquids to avoid damage, risk of fire, and electric shock. Keep the motor base always completely dry and clean.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive cleaners (e.g. bleach, solving agents) for cleaning the appliance or any part of it, to avoid damage to the surfaces. Do not use any hard or sharp-edged objects for cleaning (e.g. scoring pads, metal cooking  tensils). Do not use violence!
DO NOT place the motor base or power cord in an automatic dishwasher!
Clean the appliance and accessories always immediately after use, to avoid the build-up of stubborn residues and discolouration. Do not store your food in the containers of the appliance.
DISASSEMBLING THE JUICING SYSTEM
After operation, you should always disassemble the juicing system, empty the pulp container and juice jug, and rinse all parts at once to avoid discolouration of the plastic parts and food drying on the surfaces. For this, proceed as follows.
WARNING: The blades in the base plate of the juicing sieve are very sharp.
Always handle the juicing sieve by the rim or the dark drive coupling.
Tip: It is good advice to hold a sufficiently large tray at hand for placing the parts of the juicing system on it. This may keep your working space clean.

1. Ensure that the selection dial is turned to the “OFF” position (display is dark), the power switch at the rear of the appliance is switched off (“O”), and the motor is idle. Unplug the appliance.
2. Remove the juice jug. To avoid that juices still drip out of the juice spout, turn the drip-stop at the juice spout by 180°. Slowly empty the juice jug.
3. Push the locking arm out of the support on the juicer cover and lower the locking arm to the horizontal position.
4. Lift the juicer cover upwards to remove it.
5. Lift the juice collector upwards too. You will notice a slight resistance caused by the drive coupling, because the juicing sieve will come out together with the juice collector.
6. Take the pulp container away from the motor base and empty the pulp container.
7. Clean the parts of the juicing system always after operation. Do not leave any food dry on the surfaces (see: ‘Cleaning the Juicing System’).

CLEANING THE MOTOR BASE

1. After operation, always turn the selection dial to the “OFF” position, switch OFF the appliance at the power switch (position “O”), then unplug the appliance.

2. Remove the used processing system from the motor base (see: ‘Disassembling the Juicing System’).
   CAUTION: Always keep the motor base dry. Avoid spilling or dripping any liquids onto the motor base. Do not use any hard objects to avoid damage to the safety interlocks and surfaces.

3. Wipe the exterior of the motor base and power cord with a slightly damp, soft cloth, removing any residues of splashes. Ensure that no liquids will run on or under the motor base.

4. Polish with a soft dry cloth and leave dry naturally for approx. 30 minutes, where the motor base is out of reach of young children.

CLEANING THE JUICING SYSTEM
WARNING: The knives of the juicing sieve are very sharp. During clea- ning, the juicing sieve must be handled with care to avoid injuries and damage to the fine mesh in the rim of the juicing sieve. For cleaning, it is best to hold the juicing sieve by the dark drive coupling.
Do NOT use any abrasive cleaners, abrasive cleaning pads, or hard or sharpedged objects for cleaning to avoid damage to the surfaces. Do not use violence.
Note
Some types of fruit, spices, or vegetables (e.g. capsicum, carrots, citrus fruit, curcuma) may cause discolouration or leave opaque stains at the transparent plastic parts. This will not influence the performance of the juicing system. Nevertheless, you should not leave any food dry on the surfaces. Especially food that could easily lead to discolouration and stains on the transparent plastic parts should be removed immediately after processing. Avoid storing the juices or pulp within the juice jug or pulp container of the appliance to avoid stains.
You may clean the juicer cover, juicing sieve, juice collector, pulp container, and juice jug in an automatic dishwasher. If possible, select a low temperature and place the parts in the upper rack.
CAUTION: The plastic parts may get deformed, when treated with very high temperature. Do not place any parts of the appliance on hot surfaces.

1. Soak the juicing sieve for approx. 10 minutes in warm dishwater. Then, hold the juicing sieve by the plastic drive coupling under running tap water and carefully brush the base and mesh of the juicing sieve clockwise from the centre to the rim using a soft brush. Hold the juicing sieve up to the light for checking, whether the pores of the mesh are clean and not clogged by any residues of fibres.
2. For cleaning the juice jug, remove the pouring shield by simply pulling it up and out.
3. Wash the food pusher, juicer cover, juice collector, pulp container, and the parts of the juice jug (jug, pouring shield, lid) in warm dishwater using a soft cloth or a SOFT brush.
4. Rinse all parts with clear tap water. Then wipe dry and leave all parts dry naturally for approx. 1/2 hour, where the parts are out of reach of young children.
