• Use fresh fruit and vegetables, as they contain more juice. Pineapples,
beetroots, celery stalks, apples, cucumbers, carrots, spinach, melons,
tomatoes, pomegranates, oranges and grapes are particularly suitable for
processing in the Juicer.
• You do not have to remove thin peels or skins. Only thick peels, e.g. those
of oranges, pineapples and uncooked beetroots need to be removed. Also
remove the white pith of citrus fruits because it has a bitter taste.
• When preparing apple juice, remember that the thickness of the apple juice
depends on the kind of apple you are using. The juicier the apple, the thinner
the juice. Choose a kind of apple that produces the type of juice you prefer.
• Apple juice turns brown very quickly. You can slow down this process by
adding a few drops of lemon juice.
• Fruits that contain starch, such as bananas, papayas, avocados, figs, and
mangos are not suitable for processing in the juicer. Use a food processor,
blender or bar blender to process these fruits.
• Leaves and leaf stalks, e.g. lettuce can also be processed in the juicer.
• Drink the juice soon after you have extracted it. If it is exposed to air for
some time, the juice will lose it's taste and nutritional value. Place in sealed
container, to extend taste and nutritional value.
• To extract the maximum amount of juice, always press the pusher down
slowly.
• The juicer is not suitable for processing very hard and/or fibrous/starchy fruits
or vegetables such as sugar cane.
CLEANING
• The Juicer is easier to clean if you do so immediately after use.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, scourers, acetone, alcohol etc. to clean
appliance.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM
The juicer does not work.
The motor unit gives off an
unpleasant smell the first few
times the appliance is used.
The filter is blocked.
The filter touches the feeding tube or
vibrates strongly during processing.
SOLUTION
The juicer is equipped with a safety
system. It will not work if the parts
have not been mounted properly.
Check whether the parts have been
assembled in the right way, but switch
off the juicer before you do so.
This is not unusual. If the appliance
continues to give off this smell after a
few uses, check the quantities you are
processing and the processing time.
Switch the appliance off, clean the
feeding tube and the filter and process
a smaller quantity.
Switch the juicer off and unplug it.
Check if the filter has been properly
placed in the juice collector. The ribs
in the bottom of the filter should fit
properly onto the driving shaft.
Check if the filter is damaged.
