Preparing fruits and vegetables
• Always wash fruits and vegetables
thoroughly before juicing.
• It is not necessary to remove small
seeds, pits or thin peels before
using the appliance.
• Cut the fruit into small pieces
so that they can get through the
hopper.
• Fruits with thick peels such
as oranges and lemons must
be peeled before juicing. It is
particularly important to remove all
the peel (including the pith), as even
small amounts of peel can impart
an unpleasant taste to the juice.
• It is also necessary to remove large
stones such as plum and apricot
stones before juicing to avoid
damaging the appliance.
Juicing
1. Switch on the appliance by
switching the on/off button to "ON".
2. Feed the selected fruit and/or
vegetables into the appliance
through the hopper a little at a
time, pushing them down using the
tamper.
3. Make sure that you turn the tamper
so that the groove in the tamper fits
into the hopper properly.
4. Long vegetables such as carrots
should be fed into the hopper
pointy end first.
5. Press the fruits and/or vegetables
gently with the hopper. Too much
presser reduces the amount of juice
extracted and can damage the
appliance.
6. Stop the appliance before removing
the tamper to add more fruit/
vegetables in order to avoid
splashes.
7. The juice runs out through the
round spout, while the fruit pulp
comes out through the flat spout.
8. If the appliance struggles to
process the fruit or vegetable
pieces or becomes blocked, you
can run the auger backwards by
pressing the on/off button to the
REVERSE position and holding it in
temporarily.
9. Turn off the appliance by pushing
the on/off button to the O position
when you have finished using it.
10. Take the appliance apart. First
remove the tamper and then the
hopper, the auger, the strainer, the
strainer holder and finally the bowl.
If the hopper is difficult to remove,
you can press the on/off button to
the REVERSE position a few times
to loosen it.
TIP
• Only use fresh fruits and
vegetables.
• Good candidates for juicing include
pineapple, apples, cucumbers,
celery, carrots, spinach, melons,
tomatoes and most citrus fruits.
• The various varieties of apple
yield juice with different flavours
and consistency. Experiment with
different combinations to find your
own favourite.
• Leafy green vegetables such as
cabbage and spinach can also be
juiced. Roll the leaves into cylinders
of an appropriate size before
feeding them into the hopper.
• Fruits such as bananas, mangoes,
papayas and avocadoes are not
suitable for juicing, as the result is
often mashed fruit instead of juice.
