Assembling and disassembling the citrus juicer

1. Place the base 6 on an even, dry and stable surface. The appliance must be disconnected from the el. power socket during assembly and disassembly.

2. Place the juice collector 5 on to the base 6 so that the shaft of the motor is located in the hole in the middle part of the juice collector 5 and the spout fi ts into the groove in the front part of the base 6.

3. Place the fi lter 4 into the juice collector 5.

4.  If you are going to juice smaller citrus fruits, place the juicing cone 3 on to the motor shaft.
   If you are going to juice larger citrus fruits, fi rst insert juicing cone 3 in cone 2. Make sure that the cones fi t together properly. Place the cone assembled in this way on to the motor shaft.

5. If you wish to disassemble the citrus juicer, proceed in the reverse sequence.

Operating the citrus juicer

1. Make sure that the citrus juicer is correctly assembled and then connect it to the el. power socket.
2. Place a glass or another appropriately-sized vessel under the spout. Push the spout downwards so that during the juicing process the juice can run out of the juice collector 5 into the prepared glass.
3. Slice the citrus fruits that you wish to juice transversely in half.
4. Take one-half of the citrus fruit and gently push the cut side on to the juicing cone 2 or 3. When the citrus fruit is pushed on to the cone, the motor will engage automatically and the cone will begin to rotate. When you release the pressure, the motor will stop. Take the pressed half of the citrus fruit off the cone and you can continue pressing more fruits.

TIP: You will extract the most juice from the fruit by pressing it down several times on to the juicing cone for a short time.

ATTENTION:
Do not exert too much pressure on to the juicing cone because this could choke the motor.
The maximum continuous operating time is 2 minutes. After 2 minutes of continuous operation leave the appliance to rest for 5 minutes.

After you have finished using it, close the spout by lifting it upwards and disconnecting the juicer from the el. power socket.

PART 4: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Clean the appliance after every use. Disconnect it from the power socket before cleaning it.

• Make sure that the spout of the juice collector 5 is closed. Hold the juice collector 5 by the sides and lift it up with the remaining accessories, which are located inside it. Take it to the sink and disassemble the accessories into individual parts. Thoroughly wash all these parts using warm water and kitchen detergent. Then rinse them under clean running water and thoroughly wipe dry with a fine wiping cloth.
  NOTE:
  We recommend that you wash the accessories immediately after use to prevent the pulp from drying on. It is harder to remove it later.
