Before re-assembling, check that the aperture is completely closed by the seal
for fruit pulp. “Adjusting lever/seal for fruit pulp”
Preparing to squeeze juice
Image sequence B
-
Place the base unit onto a stable and level work surface.
-
Place the juice drum onto the base unit. When doing so, align the recesses on the base of the juice drum with the counterparts on the base unit (observe markings). The juice drum must sit flush and firmly on top of the base unit.
-
Place the rotating brush into the juice drum.
-
Place the desired strainer insert piece (coarse or fine) into the rotating brush (observe markings ).
Important: Ensure that the aperture and the notches on the base sit firmly on top of their counterparts on the juice drum. The strainer insert piece must not be able to turn any further. -
Place the juicer screw into the strainer and press down until it sits on top of the drive shaft.
-
Place the lid on top ( ) and turn it as far as possible in a clockwise direction ( ).
Preparing to make sorbet
Image sequence C

quickly clog the juicer screw and its strainer.
- Remove stones or seeds (e.g. for plums, peaches, cherries etc.).
- Remove hard peel/skin (e.g. for melons, pineapples, cucumbers, potatoes etc.).
- Fruits and vegetables with thin peel/skin (e.g. apples, pears, carrots, radishes, salad, cabbages, parsley, spinach, grapes, strawberries, celery etc.) only need to be washed.
- Peel citrus fruits and remove the white pith, as the juice may taste bitter otherwise.
- Chop up large fruits and vegetables beforehand so they fit into the feed chute without having to force them in.
Use
Risk of injury
- Only operate the appliance in its fully assembled state.
- Never operate it without a correctly placed and locked lid.
- Do not reach into the feed chute with your fingers. Use the supplied pusher only!
Caution!
Always use the sorbet insert piece to process frozen fruits. Do not process
fruit that gets very hard by freezing (eg. strawberries).
Important:
If the juice reaches the 350 ml mark, finish processing and empty the juicing
drum.
