PROPERTIES OF YOUR NEW CITRUS JUICER

• The » Citrus Juicer Advanced Pro S « is equipped with patented juicing mechanics enabling efficient operation without applying much force. You simply move down the designated lever (press arm). The whole work is done by the powerful motor. The hard-wearing large-sized juicing cone is made of die-cast aluminum and scrapes the pulp out of the fruit halves, thus squeezing out the juice. According to its extraordinary size, even large types of fruit can be squeezed (up to 12 cm in diameter: e.g. grapefruit) as well as small fruit (e.g. tangerines, lemons). During squeezing, the fruit dome is lowered via the press arm onto the fruit halves, squeezing the complete fruit half in a single step without effort to get the optimum juice amount.
• Two stainless steel filter baskets with different strainers (coarse and fine) are designed for getting juice with more or less fruit pulp.
• The motor starts by simply applying pressure to the fruit halves via the fruit dome.
• The juice drips into the juice collector. The drip-stop feature at the juice spout helps keep your workspace clean. Before removing your juice vessel from under the juice spout, simply fold up the juice spout to close the juice outlet.
• All parts coming in direct contact with food can be removed in a trice without effort.
• After usage, you may clean these parts conveniently in an automatic dishwasher.
• There are no gaps and useless grooves in the smooth top plate of the motor base, allowing easy cleaning.

OVERHEAT PROTECTION

• The » Citrus Juicer Advanced Pro S « is equipped with an overheat protection system, automatically cutting off the power supply, when the temperature of the appliance gets too high.

Overheating may occur in the following cases:

• The appliance ran in continuous operation for an extended time. Slow down your juicing action. Do not operate the appliance continuously for more than 5 minutes. In time, make breaks of some minutes.
• Too heavy load via pushing down the press arm with too much force.
• Perhaps, the juicing cone is stuck. Ensure that no seeds are caught between the juicing cone and the strainer of the filter basket (see: ‘Operation / Emptying the Filter Basket and Removing Obstacles’).
• If the citrus juicer unexpectedly stops running, unplug the appliance and check for any obstacles. Remove the obstacle.
• Check whether the drive shaft can be turned manually via the juicing cone. A slight resistance is normal. If the juicing cone is blocked, empty the filter basket (see: ‘Operation / Emptying the Filter Basket and Removing Obstacles’).
• Check, if the appliance is assembled correctly. The juice collector must be placed on the top plate of the motor base without any gap all over. Only one separate filter basket may be installed (see: ‘Operation / Assembling the Appliance’).
• Check, if the filter basket is deformed or broken. If required, replace the filter basket.
• Leave the appliance cool down for approx. 60 minutes. Thereafter, you may put the appliance into operation quite as usual.
• Please contact your vendor or an authorized service center, if the appliance stops working frequently without any perceptible reason.

OPERATION

WARNING – Always ensure that the appliance and all its parts and acces- sories are out of reach of children younger than 8 years! Do not operate the appliance when any parts of the appliance are damaged or leaking. Otherwise, liquids may get into the motor base casing risk of electric shock and fire. Do not attempt to operate the appliance without the juice collector! Always unplug the appliance, before touching any moved parts (drive shaft or juicing cone).

ASSEMBLING THE APPLIANCE

• CAUTION – Before operating the appliance, always ensure that the appliance is assembled completely and correctly, according to the following instructions.
• Do not attempt to use both filter baskets in combination. Otherwise, the upper filter basket gets damaged. Ensure that no foreign objects are in the appliance (in the top plate of the motor base, juice collector, or filter basket) before assembling and/or turning on the appliance.
• WARNING – Do not place the appliance on inclined damp or wet surfaces.
• Do not place the appliance on clothes or cardboard for the operation to avoid the risk of electric shock and fire.

1. Completely unwind the power cord from the cord storage at the bottom of the motor base. Place the appliance on a level and dry workspace near a sufficient wall power outlet (see: ‘General Safety Instructions’). The press arm should face rearward.
2. Ensure that the press arm is in the top position. The press arm should automatically swing into this position.
3. Push the juice spout of the juice collector upwards to the closed position. Then place the juice collector onto the motor base. For this, the juice spout must fit into the semi-circular groove at the front of the motor base. Hold the juice collector somewhat tilted before putting it into place at the front part (at the juice spout) first.
   • Then, carefully press the juice collector down until it settles on the top plate. For this, if required, turn the juice collector a little to and fro.
   • IMPORTANT – The juice collector is assembled correctly when you cannot lift it at the front (at the juice spout) and there is no gap between the juice collector and the top plate all over.
   • NOTE Select the filter basket according to your liking. Use the coarse filter basket for maximum pulp content in the juice and the fine filter basket for getting the juice as clear as possible.
4. Insert the desired filter basket (fine or coarse) into the juice collector. If required, turn the filter basket until it settles down within the juice collector. The drive shaft protrudes the rim of the dark central ring of the filter basket by a little less than 1 inch.
   • CAUTION – Always ensure that the appliance is unplugged, before touching the drive shaft with your hands or assembling the juicing cone.
5. Place the juicing cone onto the drive shaft and turn it on the drive shaft until it slips into position.
   • IMPORTANT – Do not use violence. If the drive shaft or the interior of the juicing cone is encrusted with residues of food, the juicing cone may stick to the drive shaft and may not slide down correctly. Do not press it down but clean these parts first (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’). Do not clean the drive shaft with hard or sharp objects. Instead, use a soft damp cloth. With the drive shaft and interior of the juicing cone clean, assemble the appliance.
6. Insert the fruit dome into the holder at the underside of the press arm by aligning the dark shaft on top of the fruit dome with the holder at the press arm. Turn the fruit dome until it slides into the center of the holder. Then grasp the press arm, while turning the fruit dome clockwise by approx. 90° for locking the fruit dome into position. Ensure that the fruit dome is locked securely and cannot fall.
7. Open the juice outlet of the juice collector. For this, push the juice spout down into the pouring position. The appliance is now ready to use.
   • SQUEEZING CITRUS FRUIT
   • WARNING – Do not attempt to operate the appliance, when it is not assembled completely and correctly. Do not operate the appliance without the juice collector! Otherwise, liquids run onto the top plate of the motor base, causing a risk of electric shock and fire. Do not let any liquids run under or on the appliance. If any liquids run under or onto the motor base during operation, immediately unplug the appliance from the power supply and clean the appliance (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’). For operation, always ensure to place a sufficient vessel under the juice spout and open the juice spout to avoid overflow.
     WARNING – Do not put or hold your hands or any foreign objects (e.g. cooking utensils) into the filter basket or onto the juicing cone, when the appliance is connected to the power supply. Do not hold your hands onto the joint of the press arm during the operation to avoid crushing your hands. Do not operate the appliance with two filter baskets assembled to avoid damage.

• IMPORTANT – During operation, pulp accumulates in the filter basket. Do not let the filter basket get clogged and/or overfilled, to avoid that the juice running over the rim of the juice collector and onto the motor base.
• Empty the filter basket and ensure that the juice outlet of the juice collector is not clogged at the latest when the juices start to rise in the strainer of the filter basket (see: ‘Emptying the Filter Basket and Removing Obstacles’).
• Ensure that the juices flow freely through the juice outlet and juice spout—especially when using the coarse filter basket.
• Remove obstacles, before you carry on juicing. If required, rinse all removable parts of the appliance under clear water.

1. Prepare the appliance for operation, ensuring that the appliance is assembled correctly (see: ‘Assembling the Appliance’). Place a suitable vessel (e.g. highwalled, sufficiently large glass or jug) under the juice spout before juicing.

   • NOTE For getting a stable stand of the vessel, you may place the vessel on a small coaster or mat (e.g. beer mat). Some types of fruit (e.g. lemons) have hard bulges at the tip ends. Cut the tip plain to get better contact with the fruit dome.
   • Otherwise, the fruit halves may turn with the juicing cone.

2. Cut the unpeeled citrus fruit vertically across the fruit segments in halves. If required,, cut the tip ends level to ensure good contact with the fruit dome.

   • WARNING – Do not hold your hand into the filter basket or on the juicing cone, while the appliance is connected to the power supply. Do not hold your hands at the joint of the press arm, when moving the press arm.

3. Ensure that the appliance is unplugged. Put the fruit half with the flesh down onto the juicing cone. Slightly press the fruit half down to fix it on the juicing cone.

   • Insert the power plug into the power outlet.

4. Hold the press arm by the handle and lower it down, until the fruit dome covers the fruit half and the motor starts working.

   • The juicing cone scrapes the pulp from the peel. The pulp and seeds accumulate in the filter basket and the juice runs out of the juice spout.
   • IMPORTANT – Do not press down too hard on the press arm to avoid overloading the motor. Additionally, the white and in most cases bitter parts of the fruit skin will be scraped off by the juicing cone.
   • The optimum pressure is reached when the motor just starts working. You will get the maximum amount of juice when working slowly.
   • WARNING – Always unplug the appliance, before taking out or inserting the fruit halves, and/or before scooping out the pulp from the filter basket, and/or before disassembling or assembling any parts.

5. When the pulp is scraped off completely, slowly move the press arm to the upper position. When the motor stops, unplug the appliance.

6. Remove the empty fruit shell. If required, remove the pulp from the filter basket via a wooden or plastic spoon (see: ‘Emptying the Filter Basket and Removing
   Obstacles’). Ensure that your juice vessel will not overflow. Before removing your juice vessel (glass or jug) from under the juice spout, push the juice spout slightly upwards until the juice spout clicks into the closed position. This will stop the dripping of juice from the juice collector and keep your workplace clean. Place another vessel under the juice spout and push the juice spout down to the open position, when you wish to continue juicing.

   • CAUTION – Do not scratch with hard objects on the filter basket to avoid damage to the strainer, thus making the filter basket unusable. If the strainer or juice outlet is clogged and you need to remove the juice collector, avoid spilling the juices onto the motor base. Do not proceed with juicing, when the juices do not flow out but accumulate within the juice collector. In this case, it may be difficult to remove the parts of the juicer without spilling the juices. Rinse the filter basket and, if required, the juice outlet in the juice collector in time and remove any obstacles (see: ‘Emptying the Filter Basket and Removing Obstacles’). Do not let the juices reach the rim of the filter basket to avoid overflow and splashing.

7. Empty the filter basket, when a lot of pulp has accumulated in the filter basket. Sometimes it is sufficient to scoop out the pulp gently with a plastic or wooden spoon.

8. If the pores of the strainer and/or the juice outlet of the juice collector are clogged and juice is collecting in the filter basket, remove the removable parts and wash these parts under running tap water (see: ‘Emptying the Filter Basket and Removing Obstacles’).

9. Thereafter, you may continue juicing with the next fruit halve, beginning with step 3.

10. If you wish to make a break-even a short one: remove and rinse the removable parts. This will prevent those residues of food dry on the surfaces and clogging the system (see: ‘Disassembling the Appliance’).

11. After use: Do not leave residues of food dry on the appliance or any parts of it.

    • Remove the juicing system and clean the appliance after each use (see: ‘Disassembling the Appliance’ and ‘Care and Cleaning’).

DISASSEMBLING THE APPLIANCE

• CAUTION – Ensure that residues of juices within the juice collector do not drip or overflow onto the motor base. When the juice outlet of the juice collector is clogged, the juice collector may be filled with juices.
• In this case, first remove the juicing cone and filter basket. Then, to avoid overflow, spoon out some juice, before removing the juice collector (see: ‘Emptying the Filter Basket and Removing Obstacles’).
• NOTE It is good advice to hold a sufficiently large dish or tablet at hand for placing the parts of the juicer on it. This will keep your workspace clean and dry.

1. Unplug the appliance before disassembling it. Push the juice spout upwards until it clicks into the closed position. This way, residues of juice do not run out from the juice collector. Remove your juice vessel from the appliance.
2. While holding the press arm, turn the fruit dome 90° counter-clockwise until you can pull the fruit dome out of the holder.
3. If the juice collector is over-filled with juice, please refer to the instructions in the section ‘Emptying the Filter Basket and Removing Obstacles’. Otherwise, the juice may get spilled.
   • IMPORTANT – Do not use violence! If you find it difficult to remove the juice collector, turn it a little to and fro until it comes out easily. Keep the components as level as possible, so that the remaining juice in the juice collector is not spilled.
   • Perhaps, the juicing cone sticks to the drive shaft. In this case, pull out the juicing cone first. During cleaning, ensure to remove any residues of food from the drive shaft and the interior of the juicing cone.
   • The juicing cone must slide over the drive shaft always easily and without any resistance.
4. Grasp the juice collector at both sides and at the back side of the appliance (side of the press arm) carefully tilt it upwards a little. Maybe, you should turn the juice collector to and fro a little to release the juice collector from the top plate of the motor base. Then lift the juice collector up and out together with the filter basket and juicing cone. Keep the juice collector as level as possible to avoid spilling.
5. If the juicing cone sticks to the drive shaft, you may feel an unusual resistance, when attempting to remove the juice collector. In this case, pull the juicing cone out first. Then try step 4.
6. Separate the juicing cone, filter basket, and juice collector. Empty the filter basket and juice collector. Clean the appliance immediately after use (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’).

EMPTYING THE FILTER BASKET AND REMOVING OBSTACLES

• CAUTION – Always switch off the appliance (moving the press arm up) and unplug the appliance, before grasping into the juicing system and/or holding any foreign objects into the filter basket or at the juicing cone.
• Do not spill or drip any liquids (juice) onto the motor base or over the appliance. Always remove the removable parts, before rinsing any parts or removing obstacles.
• Ensure that the juice in the juice collector does not get spilled when disassembling any parts.
• Do not scratch any parts of the appliance to avoid damage. Do not use violence! With any deformation or cracks, the filter basket becomes unusable and must be replaced.
• NOTE It is good advice to hold a sufficiently large bowl or dish at hand for placing the parts of the juicing system on it. This will keep your workspace dry and clean.
• CAUTION – Before re-assembling any parts, always ensure that the drive shaft and the exterior of the juice collector as well as the interior of the juicing cone are clean and dry.

EMPTYING THE FILTER BASKET

• IMPORTANT – During operation, the pulp accumulates within the filter basket. When juicing several fruit halves in a session, you need to empty the filter basket in time.
• CAUTION – By careless handling, the filter basket could get damaged easily, making the filter basket unusable. Do not scratch or press on the strainer of the fil-ter basket. Do not poke in the holes of the strainer.

1. Unplug the appliance, before touching the juicing system.
2. You may remove the pulp from the filter basket via a wooden or plastic spoon or a rubber spatula. If the filter basket is cleared thereafter and the juices can flow through again, you can re-assume operation immediately.
3. When the fibers of the pulp clog the holes of the strainer within the filter basket: remove the juicing cone. Then grasp the filter basket at the dark central sleeve and pull it upwards and out.
4. Empty the residues of juice and pulp. Then rinse the filter basket under running tap water. If required, you may remove stubborn fibers of pulp via a soft nylon brush.
5. Ensure that the juice will flow through the juice outlet when opening the drip-stop feature by pushing down the juice spout. If the juice outlet is clogged, remove the obstacle (see below: ‘Clearing the Juice Outlet of the Juice Collector’).
6. After removing the juicing cone, always ensure that the interior of the juicing cone is completely clean and dry, before re-assembling the juicing cone. Otherwise, liquids may run onto the motor base, or the juicing cone may stick to the drive shaft.
7. Re-assemble the juicing system completely and correctly (see: ‘Assembling the Appliance’). Thereafter, you may continue juicing.

CLEARING THE JUICE OUTLET OF THE JUICE COLLECTOR

• CAUTION – At the latest, when the juice fills the juice collector up to the strai-ner of the filter basket, the juice collector must be emptied.
• Do not let the juice level rise to the rim of the filter basket! Otherwise, the juice could splash during juicing and run or drip on or under the motor base, causing a risk of electric shock and fire.

1. If the juice spout is folded up to the closed position, place a suitable large juice vessel (minimum volume: 1/2 liter) under the juice spout. Then push the juice spout down to open the juice outlet, letting the juice flow out. If the juice does not flow, fold the juice spout up to the closed position again. Remove the juice vessel.
2. Ensure that the appliance is unplugged. Then remove the fruit dome from the press arm (see: ‘Disassembling the Appliance’).
   • CAUTION – If the juice reached the rim of the filter basket already, you need to remove the juicing cone and filter basket, before removing the juice collector. Otherwise, the juice could drip or run onto the motor base. If required, use a spoon or little ladle for taking out some juice, before removing the juice collector from the appliance. Handle the juice collector with special care, when pulling the juice collector out of the top plate of the motor base, to avoid spilling the juice.
3. If the juice reaches the rim of the filter basket, remove the juicing cone and filter basket separately. Otherwise, you may remove the juice collector, filter basket, and juicing cone together (see: ‘Disassembling the Appliance’).
4. If required, spoon out some juice and with the juice level lowered sufficiently, carefully pull out the juice collector (see: ‘Disassembling the Appliance’).
   • CAUTION – Do not poke in the juice outlet. Rinse any residues of pulp that may have accumulated within the juice outlet via a jet of water.
5. Empty the juice collector over a large bowl. Fold the juice spout down to the open position. Thereafter, you can rinse the juice outlet via a jet of running tap water.
6. Ensure that the juice outlet is clear again and the juices will flow freely. Rinse the filter basket and juicing cone. Thereafter, thoroughly dry the exterior of the juice collector and the interior of the juicing cone. If required, clean the drive shaft too for avoiding that the juicing cone sticking to the drive shaft.
7. Re-assemble the juicing system (see: ‘Assembling the Appliance’). Thereafter you may continue juicing as usual.

SOLVING PROBLEMS

• If any problems occur during operation, you will find solutions in this section.
• WARNING – Before starting your troubleshooting and making any manipulation at the appliance, always unplug the appliance!

You find it difficult to insert the juice collector into the top plate of the motor base.| The juice collector is not in the correct orientation.| The juice spout must be inserted in the groove of the top plate. Turn the juice collector accordingly.

Hold the juice collector somewhat inclined for inserting the juice collector at the front side (juice spout) first. Then, without violence press the juice collector down all over, until it settles without any gaps on the rim of the top plate. If required, turn the juice collector a little to

and fro to make it settle correctly within the top plate.

The juicing cone does not completely slip down on the drive shaft.| A small gap of approx. 1/2 cm of free space must be left.| There must be a small gap between the strainer of the filter basket and the juicing cone to allow the juicing cone to turn during operation. This is correct.
There are some residues of juice and/or pulp sticking to the interior of the juicing cone.| Clean the interior of the juicing cone and the drive shaft. Do not attempt to press the juicing cone down with violence.
The fruit dome cannot be lowered correctly onto the juicing cone.| The appliance is not assembled correctly.| Ensure that the juice collector is engaged correctly at the top plate of the motor base. Ensure that only one single filter basket is inserted in the juice collector.
Problem| Possible Reasons| The Easy Solution
---|---|---
 | The fruit half is not inserted correctly or is too large.| There must be approx. 1cm of free space at the bottom of the juicing cone. When juicing extremely large fruit (e.g. large grapefruit, pomelos), cut off a sufficiently thick slice at the open end of the fruit half. Then try again. When halving the fruit, ensure to cut vertically to the fruit axis between the calyx of the flower and the stalk (tip ends).
The juicing cone sticks to the drive shaft.| Clean the hexagonal interior of the juicing cone and the drive shaft. Do not attempt to press the juicing cone down with violence. The juicing cone must slip easily and without violence onto the drive shaft.
The motor does not work.| The appliance is not live.| Check, if the power plug is connected correctly to a sufficient wall power outlet with correct ratings (see: ‘Tech- nical Specifications’). Is the power outlet live? Connect a lamp.
The appliance is not assembled correctly.| Unplug the appliance. Ensure to assemble the appliance according to the instructions in the chapter ‘Operation / Assembling the Appliance’. Then try again.
Too little pressure on the press arm.| The motor starts working when the fruit dome presses down the fruit halves with sufficient pressure. Slowly increase the pressure until the motor starts operation.
The overheat protection device has been triggered.| Unplug the appliance and refer to the instructions given in the section ‘Properties of Your New Citrus Juicer / Overhe- at Protection’.
The power cord is damaged.| Get in contact with your vendor for examination and repair.

Do not attempt to repair the power cord!

There is an unusual script-ching noise during the operation.| The juice collector is not assembled correctly| Remove the juice collector and insert it again (see: ‘Operation / Assembling the Appliance’). For this, there is no need to take the juicing cone and filter basket out of the juice collector. The juice collector must lie evenly on the rim of the top plate without any gap all over.
2 Filter baskets are inserted in the juice collector.| Do not attempt to operate the appliance with both filter baskets. Remove a filter basket, before re-assuming operation.
The filter basket is damaged.| Do not use the filter basket again, when the filter basket is bent or broken. Get in contact with your vendor for replacement.
Problem| Possible Reasons| The Easy Solution
---|---|---
The fruit half turns with the juicing cone.| Hard bulges at the tip ends of the fruit halves cause poor contact between the fruit dome and the fruit shell.| Cut the bulges at the tip ends of the fruit flat. Then try again.
The fruit half is too large.| The fruit halves may not be larger than the juicing cone (max. 7 cm in height). When the fruit is pressed down via the fruit dome, at least 1 cm (1/2 inch) of free space must be left at the bottom of the juicing cone. Cut off an appropriate slice at the open end of the fruit half to get good contact with the juicing cone.
Note: The fruit slices may be used for decorating the glasses when serving the juice.
The interior of the fruit dome is obstructed by residues of the fruit shells.| Unplug the appliance and remove the fruit dome (see: ‘Operation / Disassembling the Appliance’). Then clean the fruit dome. Thereafter, try again.
You need to press a little harder on the press arm.| Increase the pressure on the press arm just until the fruit half does not turn with the juicing cone.
There is a lot of white and bitter inner shell in the juice OR the pulp is very wet.| You apply too much pressure to the press arm.| When pressing too hard, the white inner shell of the fruit may be scratched off and get into the juice—especially when using the coarse filter basket. Decrease your juicing speed by reducing the pressure on the press arm. Push down the press arm just until the motor starts. This way, you get the maximum amount of juice.
Not enough juice.| The fruit is somewhat dry already.| Always use fresh fruit for juicing. Especially small citrus fruits may get dry after some days of storage.
The fruit half is too large.| The fruit halves may not be larger than the juicing cone (max. 7 cm in height). When the fruit is pressed down via the fruit dome, at least 1 cm (1/2 inch) of free space must be left at the bottom of the juicing cone. Cut off an appropriate slice at the open end of the fruit half to get good contact with the juicing cone.
You apply too much pressure to the press arm.| Decrease your juicing speed by reducing the pressure on the press arm. Push down the press arm just until the motor starts. This way, you get the maximum amount of juice.
The juice level rises in the filter basket. The juice does not flow out into your juice vessel.| Too much pulp in the filter basket. The filter basket is clogged.| Unplug the appliance and empty the filter basket. If required, rinse stubborn fibers of the pulp from the strainer (see: ‘Operation / Emptying the Filter Basket and Removing Obstacles’).
Problem| Possible Reasons| The Easy Solution
---|---|---
 | The juice spout is folded up to the closed position.| Place a sufficiently large juice vessel under the juice spout (at least 1/2 liters) and push down the juice spout to open the juice outlet of the juice collector. Leave the juices to flow out.
The juice outlet of the juice collector is clogged.| Remove any obstacles clogging the juice outlet, before the juice reaches the rim of the filter basket (see: ‘Operation / Emptying the Filter Basket and Removing Obstacles’).
The juice splashes.| The juice collector is overfilled.| During operation, always ensure that a suitable juice vessel is placed under the juice spout and that the juice spout is in the lower open position. Ensure that the juice flows freely out of the juice outlet of the juice collector. Remove blockages in time (see: ‘Operation / Emptying the Filter Basket and Removing Obstacles’).
Liquid (juice) accumulates under the appliance AND/ OR liquid runs out from under the juice spout.
Immediately unplug the appliance!| The juice collector is over-filled.| Check the following items (see: ‘Operation / Emptying the Filter Basket and Removing Obstacles’):

–   Is the juice spout closed? Place a sufficiently large juice vessel under the juice spout (at least 1/2 liters) and push down the juice spout to open the juice outlet of the juice collector.

–   Is the filter basket clogged or overfilled with pulp? Empty the pulp. If required, rinse the filter basket.

–   Is the juice outlet of the juice collector clogged? Remove the obstacle.

The juice collector is leaking.| Replace the juice collector. Get in contact with your vendor. Do not use the appliance, when any part of it is damaged or leaking.
You find it difficult to take out the juice collector AND/OR the juicing cone cannot be removed.|  | At the back (side of the press arm) lift the juice collector upwards a little. Then, if required, turn the juice collector a little to and fro, until it comes out of the top plate of the motor base easily.
The juicing cone sticks to the drive shaft.| When residues of food get on the drive shaft or the interior of the juicing cone, the juicing cone may stick to the drive shaft. In this case, carefully pull the juicing cone straight upwards to remove the juicing cone first. Thereafter, you can take out the juice collector with the filter basket. Clean the drive shaft and the interior of the juicing cone thoroughly, removing any residues of food (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’). Ensure that the drive shaft and interior of the juicing cone are clean when placing the juicing cone onto the drive shaft.

CARE AND CLEANING

To avoid injuries to persons and damage to the appliance, always unplug the appliance before assembling or disassembling any parts, and before moving or cleaning the appliance. Do not touch the drive shaft or the juicing cone with your hands or any objects, and do not insert any objects (e.g. spoons, spatula) into the filter basket, while the appli-ance is connected to the power supply.
• WARNING – Do not place the motor base or power cord in an automatic dishwasher. All parts coming into direct contact with food during operation may be cleaned in an automatic dishwasher. To avoid the risk of electric shock: Do not place or immerse the motor base or the power cord in water or other liquids. Do not pour or spill any liquids onto the motor base or power cord. Do not place the appliance or power cord on wet surfaces. Always immediately wipe off spilled liquids.
• CAUTION – To avoid damage, do not use any abrasive cleaners, corrosive chemicals (i.e. disinfectants, bleach), or cleaning pads for cleaning the appliance or any part of it. Do not use any hard or sharp-edged utensils for operation or cleaning to avoid damage to the surfaces. The filter baskets could easily get bent or cracked via careless handling, thus making them unusable.
• Clean the appliance immediately after each use to avoid residues of food sticking stubbornly to the surfaces and causing blockage, discoloration, and opaque stains.
• Do not poke or scratch with any foreign objects under the drive shaft, in the juice outlet of the juice collector, or the joint of the press arm. Do not use violence.
• NOTE After an elongated time of usage, some surfaces may build up discoloration and opaque stains caused by fruit acids. This does not influence the performance of the appliance or the taste of the juices.

CLEANING THE JUICING SYSTEM

1. Unplug the appliance and fold up the juice spout to close the drip stop. Remove your juice vessel.
2. Remove the juicing system from the appliance (see: ‘Disassembling the Appliance’).
3. Separate the parts of the juicing system and empty the filter basket and juice collector. If required, remove residues of pulp from the filter basket via a rubber spatula or wooden or plastic spoon.
   • NOTE Before cleaning, soak dried-on residues of food sticking to the removable parts for approx. 10 minutes in lukewarm dishwater. You may clean the removable parts (fruit come, juicing cone, filter basket, juice collector) in an automatic dishwasher (see: ‘Using an Automatic Dish-Washer’).
4. Clean fruit dome, juicing cone, filter basket, and juice collector with a soft nylon brush and warm dishwater.
5. Ensure that there are no residues of juice or pulp left in the interior of the juicing cone. If required, use a little bottle brush to clean the interior of the juicing cone. Otherwise, the juicing cone could stick stubbornly at the drive shaft.
6. Ensure that the juice outlet and juice spout of the juice collector are thoroughly. This may avoid clogging on later use. However, do not poke in the juice outlet or juice spout, but rinse these parts via a jet of tap water.
7. After cleaning, rinse with clear tap water and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Leave the parts dry naturally for approx. 1/2 hour, where they are out of reach of children younger than 8 years.
   • USING AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER
