Safety Interlocks
Various safety interlocks ensure correct and safe operation of the Multi Juicer and
protect you form injuries and damage, if the appliance is not assembled and ope-
rated correctly.
• To avoid the risk of injuries caused by the drive rotor, the juice collector, juicing
sieve, and juicer cover must be inserted correctly and the safety locking arm must
be fixed in the upper closed position to hold the parts securely in place.
The appliance will not operate, if even one of the safety interlocks is not closed cor-
rectly. Do not attempt to inactivate the safety interlocks.
CAUTION: If the motor does not start when selecting a speed, always switch
off the appliance before checking, which safety interlock of the appliance is not
closed correctly. When in operational mode (display is illuminated), the motor will
start agitating IMMEDIATELY as soon as the affected safety interlocks are enga-
ged.
Self-Resetting Overheat Protection Device
If overheating occurs, the appliance will automatically stop operation at once There-
fore this safeguard against overheating of the motor ensures an elongated working
life of the motor. If the overheat protection device is triggered, switch off the appli-
ance completely (turn the selection dial to "OFF" and switch off at the rear power
switch), remove the power plug from the mains power supply and leave the motor
cool down by waiting approx. 30 minutes. Overheating may be caused by ...
• too much food in the processing system. Always observe the MAX filling levels
of the containers as given in chapter 'Technical Specifications'. When juicing,
do not push down your food with too much pressure. Take out some food and
try again.
• too hard ingredients or too much fibres obstructing the juicing sieve.
• the appliance has been operated continuously for an elongated time. If an elon-
gated processing time is really required, you need to make sufficient brakes.
• hard ingredients or too much fibres are gridlocked within the knives and block
the drive. Remove the used juicing system from the motor base and remove the
obstacle (see: 'Operation' and 'Care and Cleaning'). Perhaps, you need to use
another processing system for processing your food.
Tip: You may use the required time for cooling down (approx. 30 minutes) to
remove any obstacles and blockages in the used juicing system and preparing
another portion of your food. After solving the problem and leaving the motor cool
down, you can reactivate the appliance quite as normal.

Important: For performing the reset, the appliance MUST be unplugged from the
power outlet.
Electronic Overload Protection
The Multi Juicer will automatically stop operation, if the motor is stalled for more than
10 seconds. Either too much food is being processed at a time or the pieces are
too large or too hard.
Switch off the motor (selection dial to "OFF", power switch to "O") and unplug the
appliance. Remove the obstacleby removing your food from the filling chute and jui-
cing sieve. Thereafter, you may re-assume operation quite as normally. Process your
food with less pressure and in smaller portions.
Automatic Shut-Off
The appliance is programmed for continuously operating max. 20 minutes. After
approx. 20 minutes in operational mode, the appliance will switch off the motor
automatically, ensuring that the motor is protected from overheating, if you have
forgotten to make a break in time. Another 40 seconds after the automatic shut-off,
even the display will get dark automatically.
If you wish to re-activate the appliance, simply turn the selection dial to another
speed. The motor will start again immediately.
CAUTION: After an automatic shut-off, the motor will re-start immediately,
when turning the selection dial! This will happen even if the display has been swit-
ched off and is dark. We strongly recommend to switch off the appliance via the
power switch at the rear of the motor base, before turning the selection dial to the
"OFF" position. This way, you avoid that the motor will start with a possibly high
speed, that had been selected before the automatic shut-off has been triggered.
Important: Although the appliance can be re-activated immediately after the auto-
matic shut-off, we strongly recommend to leave the motor cool down for approx.
20 minutes before re-assuming operation. This holds especially, when working at
high speed levels (4-5), having filled in large amounts and/or pushed hard during
jucing, or processing thick ingredients (heavy load). Applying heavy load for a too
long time is done at the expense of the working life of the motor.
Note
If the motor cannot be re-activated at once, the overheat protection device may
be triggered. In this case, there is no way of starting the motor without leaving the
motor cool down first (see: 'Self-Resetting Overheat Protection Device').
