PHILIPS HR186X Viva Collection Juicer Instruction Manual

PHILIPS HR186X Viva Collection Juicer

Use the berry funnel to juice for example Gooseberry, Red Bilberry, Viburnum berries, Sea buckthorn, Wild strawberry, Raspberry, Blackberry, Blackcurrant or Cranberry.

Preparation

• To extract the maximum amount of juice, always press the pusher down slowly.

• Use fresh fruit and vegetables, as they contain more juice. Pineapples, beetroots, celery stalks, apples, carrots, spinach, melons, tomatoes, pomegranates, oranges and grapes are particularly suitable for processing in the juicer.

• The juicer is not suitable for processing very hard and /or fibrous or starchy fruits or vegetables such as sugar cane.

• Leaves and leaf stalks of e.g. lettuce can also be processed in the juicer.

• Remove stones from cherries, plums, peaches etc. You do not have to remove cores or seeds from fruits like melons, apples and grapes.

• You do not have to remove thin peels or skins. Only remove thick peels that you would not eat, e.g. those of oranges, pineapples, kiwis, melons and uncooked beetroots.

• When you prepare apple juice, take into consideration that the thickness of the apple juice depends on the type of apple you use.

• The juicier the apple, the thinner the juice. Choose a kind of apple that produces the type of juice you prefer.

• If you want to process citrus fruits with the juicer, remove the peel as well as the white pith. The white pith gives the juice a bitter taste.

• Fruits that contain starch, such as bananas, papayas, avocados, figs and mangoes are not suitable for processing in the juicer. Use a food processor, blender or bar blender to process these fruits.
  Note: When the integrated pulp container has reached its maximum capacity, pulp ends up in the juice collector, lid and juice.

• If you overfill the integrated pulp container, the appliance becomes blocked. When this occurs, switch off the appliance and remove the pulp from the integrated pulp container.
