Assembly

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using your juicer for the first time, remove any packaging material and promotional stickers and labels. Ensure the appliance is switched off at the power outlet and the power cord is unplugged.
Wash the filter bowl surround, Nutri Disc™, juicer cover, Froojie® Disc, Froojie® Insert, food pusher, pulp container and juice jug and lid in warm, soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The motor base can be wiped with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

FOR USE WITH JUICE EXTRACTOR

1. Place the motor base on a flat, dry surface such as a bench top. Ensure that the motor base is switched OFF at the control panel, then switch the appliance off at the power outlet and unplug the cord.
2. Place the filter bowl surround on top of the motor base.

3. Align the arrows at the base of the Nutri Disc™ with the arrows on the motor drive coupling and push down until it clicks into place. Ensure the Nutri Disc™ is fitted securely inside the filter bowl surround and onto the motor base.

4. Place the juicer cover over the filter bowl surround, positioning the feed chute over the juice disc and lower into position.

5. Raise the safety locking arm up and locate it into the two grooves on either side of the juicer cover. The safety locking arm should now be in a vertical position and locked into place on top of the juicer cover.

6. Slide the food pusher down the feed chute by aligning the groove of the food pusher, with the small protrusion on the inside top of the feed chute. Continue to slide the food pusher down into the feed chute.

7

7. Place the pulp container into position by tilting the base of the pulp container away from the motor base and slide the top of the pulp container over the bottom of the juice cover. Tilt the base of the pulp container back into the motor base ensuring it is supported by the container support extending from under the motor base.

To minimise cleaning, line the pulp container with a plastic freezer bag to collect the pulp. Pulp can then be used in other dishes, or as compost for the garden or discarded.

8. Place the juice jug provided under the spout on the right-hand side of the juicer. The juice jug lid can be used to avoid any splatter. Alternatively you can fit the custom-designed juice nozzle over the juice spout and place a glass underneath. The juice nozzle will prevent splatter, ensuring mess free juicing.

FOR USE WITH FROOJIE® EXTRACTOR

1. Place the filter bowl surround on the top of the motor base.

2. Place the Froojie® Disc into the filter bowl surround and onto the motor drive coupling. Push down until it clicks into place. Ensure the Froojie® Disc is fitted securely inside the filter bowl surround and onto the motor base.

Never use Froojie® Disc without Froojie® Insert. They must always be used together.
3. Place the Froojie® Insert into the filter bowl surround, making sure the warning label on the handle is facing upwards.

To assemble remaining parts follow steps 4-­7 listed on previous page.

NOTE
There is no need to use pulp container when using Froojie® extractor.

PREPARATION OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES FOR FROOJIE® EXTRACTOR

Only soft fruits should be used with the Froojie® extractor.
When using fruits with hard inedible skins, such as mangoes, pineapple or kiwi fruit, always peel before juicing.
When using fruits with a hard core such as pineapple, always remove this before juicing.
All fruits with pits, hard seeds or stones such as nectarines, peaches, mangoes and apricots must be pitted or deseeded before juicing.
Passionfruit pulp, peeled kiwi fruit and berries can be processed without removing seeds.
When using the Froojie® extractor, use low speed (speed 1). Always ensure motor is running before adding fruit and/or vegetables to feed tube.

WARNING

Do not put hard fruit and vegetables (i.e. Carrots, apples, fresh beetroot, etc.) or ice through juicer when using Froojie® extractor. This could damage parts of the unit.

Care & Cleaning

Ensure the juicer is turned off by pressing the ON / OFF button on the control panel to OFF. Then switch the appliance off at the power outlet and unplug the cord. Ensure the juicer is correctly disassembled.

FOR EASIER CLEANING

• Clean as you go and avoid dried on juice or pulp residue.
• Immediately after each use, rinse removable parts in hot water to remove wet pulp. Allow parts to air dry.
• To minimise cleaning, line the pulp container with a plastic freezer bag to collect the pulp. Pulp can then be used in other dishes or as compost for the garden or discarded.

CLEANING THE MOTOR BASE

1. Wipe the motor base with a soft, damp cloth then dry thoroughly.
2. Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord.
   Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners when cleaning the parts or motor base as they may scratch the surface.

CLEANING THE FILTER BOWL SURROUND, JUICER COVER, FROOJIE® INSERT, FOOD

PUSHER, PULP CONTAINER

1. Wash all parts in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
   The filter bowl surround, juicer cover and pulp container are dishwasher safe (top shelf only).
   The Froojie® Insert is not dishwasher safe. Please wash in warm water.

CLEANING THE JUICE JUG

1. Rinse the juice jug and lid with froth attachment under running water.
2. Wash both parts in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

• The juice jug and lid are dishwasher safe (top shelf only).
• Discolouration of the plastic may occur with strongly coloured fruit and vegetables. To help prevent this, wash parts immediately after use. If discolouration does occur, the plastic parts can be soaked in water with 10% lemon juice or they can be cleaned with a non abrasive cleaner.

WARNING

Do not immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid. The centre of the juice disc and feed chute contains small sharp blades to process fruit and vegetables during the juicing function. Do not touch blades when handling the juice disc or feed chute.

CLEANING THE JUICE DISC

For consistent juicing results always ensure that the juice disc is thoroughly cleaned using the supplied cleaning brush.

1. Soak the juice disc in hot soapy water for approximately 10 minutes immediately after juicing is completed. If pulp is left to dry on the filter it may clog the fine pores of the filter mesh thereby lessening the effectiveness of the juicer.
2. Using the cleaning brush, hold the juice disc under running water and brush from the inside of the basket to the outer rim. Avoid touching the small sharp blades in the centre of the juice disc. After cleaning the juice disc, hold it up towards a light to ensure the fine mesh holes are not blocked. If the holes are blocked, soak the juice disc in hot water with 10% lemon juice to loosen the blocked holes. Alternatively, wash the juice disc in the dishwasher.

• The juice disc is dishwasher safe (top shelf only).
• Do not soak the juice disc in bleach or other abrasive cleansers.
• Always treat the juice disc with care as it can be easily damaged.

Troubleshooting

correctly engaged in the vertical operating position with the locking arm located into the two grooves on either side of the juicer cover.
Motor appears to stall when juicing| • Wet pulp can build up under the juicer cover if the juicing action is too vigorous. Try slower juicing action by pushing the food pusher down more slowly. Follow cleaning instructions and clean the filter bowl surround, the juice disc and the juicer cover.

• The juicer will automatically stop operating if the motor is stalled for more than 10 seconds. Either too much food is being processed at one time or the pieces are not small enough. Try trimming the food or cutting into smaller pieces of even size and processing a smaller amount per batch. To continue juicing, reset the juicer by pressing the ON / OFF switch on the control panel to OFF then turn the appliance back on by pressing ON / OFF switch to ON.

• Hard fruits and vegetables will put excess strain onto the motor if a low speed is selected. Please refer to the juicing guide to determine the correct speed for the fruits and vegetables selected for juicing.

Excess pulp building up the Stainless Steel Filter Disc| • Stop the juicing process, remove the juicer cover, scrape off pulp, reassemble and begin juicing again. Try alternating (soft and hard) vegetable and fruit varieties.
Pulp too wet and reduced extracted juice| • Try a slower juicing action.

• Remove juice disc and thoroughly clean mesh walls with a cleaning brush. Rinse the juice disc under hot water. If the fine mesh holes are blocked, soak the basket in a solution of hot water with 10% lemon juice to unblock the holes or wash in the dishwasher.

This will remove excess fibre build up (from fruit or vegetables) which could be inhibiting the juice flow.

Juice leaks between the rim of the juicer cover| • Try a slower juicing speed and push the food pusher down the feed chute more slowly.
Juice sprays out from spout| • Use juice jug and lid provided, or if juicing into a glass use the custom designed juice nozzle.

• Try using fruits with more water content to help flush through the contents. Additionally, try a slower juicing action by feeding one piece in at a time and by pushing the food pusher down more slowly.

When using the Froojie® extractor, the filter bowl surround becomes full and clogs its spout| • Try using fruits with more water content to help flush through the contents. Additionally, try a slower juicing action by feeding one piece in at a time and by pushing the food pusher down more slowly.
Overheating with excessive loads.| • The juicer is fitted with a safety device which safeguards against overheating with excessive loads. If overheating occurs, the juicer will automatically activate the overload protection device and the unit will switch itself off. When the overload protection is activated, unplug the juicer from the power outlet for at least 15 minutes to allow the unit to cool. Then plug the juicer into the power outlet and use as normal.
