MAKING JUICE
Before the first plugging in make sure that the operating voltage of the unit
corresponds to the voltage of your mains.
Fruit and vegetables meant for processing must be fresh.
Before juice extracting wash fruit/vegetables, remove inedible parts from
vegetables or fruit, such as stems, hard peel or stones, for example, of
cherry or peach, cut them into pieces easily fitting into the feeding chute
(2).
-
Place the motor unit (8) on a dry, flat and steady surface.
-
Before unit assembling make sure that the operating mode switch is set to the position «0», and the plug is not inserted into the mains socket.
-
Set the juice collector (5) on the motor unit (8).
-
Install the grating filter (4) into the juice collector (5).
ATTENTION!
Do not use the juice extractor if you find mechanical damages of the grating filter (4). -
Set the pulp container (10) behind the juice extractor.
-
Install the lid (3) on the juice collector (5); when installing the lid (3) make sure that the rear part of the lid (3) matches the juice collector (5) grooves and fix it with the clamp (7).

-
Insert the power plug into the mains socket.
-
Switch the juice extractor on by setting the switch (9) to the position «I» (low speed), position «II» (high speed) or position «P» (pulse mode).
Notes:
Low speed «I» is intended for extracting juice from soft vegetables/fruits,
such as tomatoes, ripe pears, strawberries, oranges, plums, grapes, pumpkins,
onions, cucumbers etc.
High speed «II» is intended for extracting juice from hard vegetables/fruits,
such as artichoke, carrot, apples, capsicum, beet, potatoes, pineapples,
vegetable marrows, celery, spinach, dill, leek etc.
«P» is pulse mode, switching the juice extractor on for a short time.
ATTENTION!
To avoid the grating filter (4) stopping and motor rotor jamming during the
processing of viscous or quite hard food it is recommended to use the high-
speed operation mode «II» of the juice extractor.
- The unit will be switched on only if all the removable parts are installed properly, and the lid (3) is fixed with the lock (7).
- Feed fruit/vegetable pieces into the lid (3) feed-ing chute (2) only when the grating filter (4) is rotating.
- Gradually put vegetables or fruits cut beforehand into the lid (3) feeding chute (2) and push them gently with the pusher (1). Do not press on the pusher (1) too hard as it can lead to decrease of juice amount as well as stop the grating filter (4) rotation. The slower is the fruit and vegetables processing, the higher is the juice extraction rate.
- Do not put your fingers or any other foreign objects into the lid (3) feeding chute (2).
- During operation, check the grating filter (4) periodically for obstruction of the mesh with pulp, if necessary wash the grating filter (4); before removing the grating filter, switch the juice extractor off and unplug it.

compliance with the requirement can cause the grating mesh blockage and will
complicate the unit cleaning.
- After unit operation, switch it off by setting the switch (9) to the position «0», and unplug it.
OVERHEATING PROTECTION

If the juice extractor switched off during the operation, set the operation
mode switch (9) to the position “0” and unplug the unit. Let the unit cool
down for 30-40 minutes and switch it on again. During the juice extractor
operation maintain the timing cycles (5 minutes – operation, 3 minutes –

inlets on the bottom of the juice extractor body.

TIPS
- Use only fresh fruits and vegetables, as they contain more juice.
- For juice extracting you can use different vegetables (carrots, cucumbers, beets, celery stems, spinach, tomatoes) or fruits (apples, grapes, pineapples).
- It is recommended to wash berries right before juice extracting, as they lose freshness quickly.
- It is not necessary to remove thin peel from fruits or vegetables, remove thick peel only, for example from pineapples or beet.
- When making juice from apples it is not necessary to remove apple cores.
- When extracting apple juice remember that its richness depends on the apple sort.
- Choose the apple sort from which you can make juice to your taste.
- Drink juice right after you made it. The juice loses its taste and nutrition value during long storage in open air.
- Apple juice gets dark quickly, but if you add some drops of lemon juice to it, this suspends the process of juice darkening.
- If you keep juice in the refrigerator, pour it into a clean bowl with a lid to prevent it from absorbing the smell of other foods stored in the refrigerator. It is not recommended to keep juice in a metal container, as the juice can acquire corresponding flavor.
- The juice extractor is not intended for processing fruits with high content of starch or pectin, such as bananas, papaya, avocado, figs, apricots, mango, red and black currants. Use other kitchen appliances to process these kinds of fruit.
- The juice extractor is not intended for processing extra hard and fibrous products, such as coconuts, rhubarb or quince.
