USING THE APPARATUS

Assembly before use:

Place the motor section (3) on a flat surface, e.g. a kitchen counter, and make sure it is standing firmly on the four suckers underneath.
Place the base(6) on the motor section so that the spout (5) fits in the slot on the side of the motor section.
Push the fruit pulp holder (2) up under the drain edge on the base so that it locks on the foot of the motor unit tightly.
Carefully lock the centrifuge bowl (7) onto the base.
- Be careful not to touch the sharp parts in the bottom of the centrifuge bowl.
- Make sure that the centrifuge bowl sits properly on its base, so that the gear on the bottom of the bowl engages the gear in the base.
- Make sure that the centrifuge bowl doesn’t sit too loosely on the base and that it rotates evenly.
Place the lid (10) on the appliance so that it covers both the fruit pulp holder and the centrifuge bowl unit. Make sure that the lid fits tightly onto the base.
Turn the lock mechanism (4) to the vertical position and make sure that it engages the lid and locks it fast. The lock mechanism makes a clicking sound when this is done correctly.
Place a glass, bowl or other suitable container under the spout.
The apparatus now ready for use.

Preparing fruits and vegetables for juicing

Always wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly before juicing.
It is not necessary to remove seeds, pits or thin peels before using the appliance.
Fruits with thick peels such as oranges and lemons must be peeled before juicing. It is particularly important to remove all the peel (including the pith), as even small amounts of peel can impart an unpleasant taste to the juice.
It is also necessary to remove large pits (such as plum and apricot pits) to avoid damaging the appliance.
Large fruits and vegetables should be cut into pieces that can fit into the funnel (9).

Use

Start the appliance by turning the On/Off button to position “1” (low speed) or position “2” (high speed).
- The low speed setting is suitable for juicing soft fruits and vegetables.
- The high speed setting is suitable for juicing harder fruits and vegetables.
Feed the selected fruits and/or vegetables into the appliance through the funnel a little at a time, pushing them down using the tamper (1).
- Make sure that you turn the tamper so that the groove in the tamper fits into the funnel properly.
- Long vegetables such as carrots should be fed into the funnel pointy end first.
- Press the fruits and/or vegetables gently with the funnel. Too much pressure reduces the amount of juice extracted and can damage the appliance.
- Stop the appliance before removing the tamper to add more fruit/vegetables in order to avoid to avoid splashes.
Keep an eye on the fruit pulp holder and stop juicing before the holder becomes too full.
Always turn off the power by turning the “On/Off” button to “0” position before taking off the lid.
Please note: Do not leave the appliance running for more than 3 minutes at a time. If the appliance has been running for 3 minutes, allow it to cool down for 20 minutes before you use it again.

TIP

If you line the fruit pulp holder with a plastic bag before using the appliance, it will be easier to clean the appliance.
Use fresh fruits and vegetables – they contain the most juice.
Good candidates for juicing include pineapple, apples, cucumbers, celery, carrots, spinach, melons, tomatoes and most citrus fruits.
The various varieties of apple yield juice with different flavors and consistency. Experiment with different combinations to find your own favorite.
Leafy green vegetables such as cabbage and spinach can be juiced. Roll the leaves into cylinders of an appropriate size before feeding them into the funnel.
Fibrous fruits and vegetables as well as those with very firm flesh such as bananas, mangoes, papayas and avocados are not well-suited to juicing, as the result is often mashed fruit instead of juice.
All types of juice should be consumed right after juicing, as fresh juice quickly loses important nutrients when exposed to the oxygen in the air. Taste can also be affected.
Pure apple juice turns brown quickly when exposed to air. To prevent discoloration, serve apple juice immediately after juicing or add a little lemon juice.
Remember that fruit pulp can be used in cakes, vegetable lasagna, muffins, etc.

Storage

Ensure the appliance is clean and dry before storing.
The appliance contains sharp parts – keep out of the reach of children.
