Operation

Using the citrus press with the glass carafe

Use the citrus press with the glass carafe in order to press larger quantities of juice, such as freshly squeezed orange juice.
Caution! The juice is collected in the glass carafe. The volume capacity of the glass carafe is 1.0 l. End the pressing procedure before the juice reaches the bottom edge of the motor unit.

Position the prepared citrus press with glass carafe on a stable and level work surface.
Connect the mains cable to the socket.
Position the halved citrus fruits with the cut surface on the pressing cone and press down.

The citrus press starts running once the pressed product is pressed onto the pressing cone. The pressing cone rotates either clockwise or anticlockwise. Once the pressed product is released and pressed once again, the pressing cone changes its rotation direction. If excess pressure is applied, the pressing cone changes the rotation direction in rapid succession. Reduce the pressure until the pressing cone rotates normally once more.
Caution!
Press a maximum of 10 fruits (approx. 2 kg) one after the other. Then halt the pressing procedure until the motor unit has once again reached room temperature. Only then should the pressing procedure be resumed.

Notes:

To obtain the largest amount of juice, the pressing procedure should be repeated a few times.
The filter insert with the rough peel and the seeds should be emptied if required.

To switch off the appliance, reduce the pressure on the pressing cone. The citrus press switches off automatically.
Disconnect the mains cable from the socket.
Remove the citrus press from the glass carafe.
The discharge valve closes automatically once the citrus press is removed from the glass carafe
For the purpose of storage, for example in the refrigerator, seal the glass carafe with the lid.
To pour out the juice, remove the lid.

Using the citrus press without the glass carafe

Use the citrus press without the glass carafe in order to press smaller quantities of juice, such as lemon juice for use in baking or for seasoning fish.
Caution!
The juice is collected in the collecting tray. The volume capacity of the collecting tray is approx. 100 ml. This corresponds approximately to the juice from 2 medium sized lemons. End the pressing procedure before the juice reaches the top edge of the collecting tray.

Position the prepared citrus press on a table and level work surface.
Connect the mains cable to the socket.
Press the citrus fruits as described. X “Using the citrus press with the glass carafe” see page 11
