INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Before first use

1. Wash all detachable parts in warm water and dry them completely.
2. Place the juicer on a stable, even surface that is not slippery.
3. Plug the power cord into an appropriate electrical socket (220-240 V).

Assembling the product

1. Insert the pulp container into the juicer as shown in the illustration. Make sure that the edge of the collector is even with the motor unit.
2. Insert the stainless steel strainer into the collector. Make sure that the strainer is firmly seated on the drive shaft. When properly placed, the upper edge of the strainer should be below the level of the upper edge of the juice collector.
3. Cover everything with the lid and press it down into the proper position.
4. Use one hand to press the lid downward, and at the same time pull the safety latch over it so that the lid will be secured in the correct position (you will hear a click).
5. Now insert the plunger into the filling port. Notice that for easier movement, the plunger has a groove that fits onto a projection in the upper part of the filling port.

Using the product

1. Under the spout, place a large enough container for the juice.
2. Prepare the ingredients for processing. Thoroughly wash all ingredients before using. After washing, cut excessively large pieces into smaller ones. You will fi nd other processing tips in the „RECIPES“ section (see below).
3. Turn the control switch to the “I” or “II” position, depending on the type of fruit or vegetables being processed. For softer ingredients, use speed “I” (e.g., grapes, blueberries, melons, raspberries, tomatoes, etc.). For harder ingredients use speed “II” (e.g., pineapple, celery, carrots, beets, apples, etc.)
4. Insert the prepared ingredients into the fi lling port and, using the plunger, carefully begin pressing them, downward onto the spinning stainless steel strainer. Do not use too much pressure. Ingredients juice slowly, so let them have as much give as possible.
5. During the juicing process, the juice will go into the juice container, while the pulp will be separated and collect in the pulp container. You can empty the pulp container during the juicing process turn the switchMto the “0” position and carefully empty the container. Before you restart the juicing process, put the pulp container back in place.
6. After processing the ingredients, turn off the appliance and wait until the spinning strainer has completely stopped.

WARNING: This appliance is intended only for short-term use. When juicing large quantities, do not use this juicer for more than 40 seconds at a time, and allow the juicer to cool completely between uses.

RECIPES

• Before starting work, read the following tips. They will help you get the most efficiency and flavor when juicing, and they will also make your work easier.
• Use only fresh fruit and vegetables, because they contain more juice. Especially appropriate are pineapple, red beets, celery, apples, cucumbers, carrots, melons, tomatoes, oranges and grapes.
• Don‘t use overripe fruit and vegetables, because the juice won‘t taste as good.
• You don‘t have to cut or slice most fruit and vegetables (such as apples, carrots, and cucumbers), because they will go into the filling port whole.
• With root vegetables (such as carrots or beets), make sure that you have removed all dirt and greens and washed the vegetables thoroughly.
• Before juicing, you must remove all pits and hard seeds from fruits that have them (e.g., nectarines, peaches, mangoes, apricots, plums, and cherries). The pits would make the juice too bitter.
• You do not need to remove thin skin or peels (e.g., apples and pears). Thick peels must be removed (e.g., on oranges, pineapple, and raw beets). Always remove the white rind from citrus fruit — it tastes bitter.
• When making apple juice, keep in mind that the thickness depends on the type of apples you are using. The juicier the apple, the thinner the juice. Apple juice turns brown very quickly. You can slow this process by adding a few drops of citrus juice.
• Starchy fruits (such as bananas, avocados, and figs) are not appropriate for this juicer. Before adding these types of fruit to the juicer, process them with a mixer or food processor.
• You can also process leaves and stalks (such as lettuce) in this juicer.
• If you decide to store the juice in the refrigerator, do not leave it there for more than one day. It may go sour after that.
• If you decide to freeze the juice, do not leave it for more than one month.

1. Tomato juice: Juice 1 kg of fresh, ripe tomatoes and serve immediately. For flavor, add some celery stalks and fresh pepper.
2. Apple juice: Juice 4 large apples with the stems removed, and serve immediately. To vary the flavor, you can combine more than one type of apple. For added sweetness and vitamins, add a carrot.
3. Island mix: Juice 1 middle-sized pineapple, 1 papaya, 1 large orange, and 1 peeled guava. Add 1 mango (after processing in a mixer). Serve right away.
4. Carrot and fruit juice: Juice 4 large carrots (remove the tops and bottoms, and wash them) with 2 sweet, washed apples (with the stems removed). Serve right away.
5. Pineapple juice: Juice 4 pineapple slices, 1 one middle-sized orange, and serve immediately.
