Overview

Please fold out the illustrated pages.

Never operate a damaged appliance!

• Remove the base unit and all accessories from the packaging and dispose of all packing materials.

Preparation

Risk of injury
Do not insert the mains plug until all preparations for working with the appliance are complete and all individual parts are assembled correctly and connected to the base unit.

Caution!
Never place the juice drum onto the base unit without the seal for the drive shaft.

Ensure that the seal also sits correctly after placing it onto the base unit.

Important: Before re-assembling, check that the aperture is completely closed by the seal for fruit pulp. X “Adjusting lever / seal for fruit pulp” see page 14

Preparing to squeeze juice
Image sequence B

1. Place the base unit onto a stable and level work surface.

Important: Ensure that the aperture and the notches on the base sit firmly on top of their counterparts on the juice drum. The strainer insert piece must not be able to turn any further.

Preparing to make sorbet

Important: Ensure that the aperture and the notches on the base sit firmly on top of their counterparts on the juice drum. The sorbet insert piece must not be able to turn any further.

Preparing food

Important: Only process ripe fruit and vegetables. Unripe or over-ripe fruit will very quickly clog the juicer screw and its strainer.

• Remove stones or seeds (e.g. for plums, peaches, cherries etc.).
• Remove hard peel/skin (e.g. for melons, pineapples, cucumbers, potatoes etc.).
• Fruits and vegetables with thin peel/skin (e.g. apples, pears, carrots, radishes, salad, cabbages, parsley, spinach, grapes, strawberries, celery etc.) only need to be washed.
• Peel citrus fruits and remove the white pith, as the juice may taste bitter otherwise.
• Chop up large fruits and vegetables beforehand so they fit into the feed chute without having to force them in.

Use

  Risk of injury

• Only operate the appliance in its fully assembled state.
• Never operate it without a correctly placed and locked lid.
• Do not reach into the feed chute with your fingers. Use the supplied pusher only!

Caution!
Always use the sorbet insert piece to process frozen fruits. Do not process fruit that gets very hard by freezing (eg. strawberries).

Important: If the juice reaches the 350 ml marking, finish processing and empty the juice drum.

Squeezing juice

Image sequence D
■ Prepare the appliance as described.
“Preparing to squeeze juice” see page 14

1. Place one container under each of the apertures for juice and fruit pulp.
2. Open the sealing cap for the juice.

Notes:

• To improve the amount of juice produced, preferably process ingredients containing lots of juice at the beginning and end of processing (e.g. oranges, tomatoes, watermelon, etc.). Process hard or fibrous Ingredients in-between.
• Fill the food into the feed chute one portion at a time.
• Stuffing it in excessively does not accelerate the processing and leads to the drum overflowing.

Making sorbet
Image sequence E

1. Prepare the appliance as described with the sorbet insert piece. → “Preparing to make sorbet” see page 14
   Place a container under the aperture for the juice. Open the sealing cap for the juice.

   Move the switch to ON. The appliance starts. The LED ring lights up (depending on the model).

3. Add the frozen food to the feed chute.

4. Only use the pusher provided to push the food further. The sorbet produced will be collected in the container.

Reversing function
The reversing function is designed to release food that has got stuck by briefly running the worm gear in reverse.

Note: If food that has got stuck is not released by briefly putting the appliance into reverse, switch the appliance off, unplug it and clean it.

Warning!
The reversing function must be used for several seconds or it will no longer be possible to switch on the appliance.

After using the appliance

• Empty both containers and then place them under the apertures for juice and fruit pulp again.
• Close the sealing cap and slide the adjusting lever for the fruit pulp all the way to the right.
• Pour a little water (approx. 150 ml) into the feed chute and move the switch to ON.
