METHOD OF OPERATION AND MAKING BREAKS

The high-performance motor of the appliance is designed for an elongated working
life when operated in usual household use. For preserving the working life of the
motor, avoid overload and overheating.
• Normal load: When juicing soft fruit and vegetables, you may operate the appli-
ance continuously for approx. 20 minutes. Thereafter, the automatic shut-off will
stop the motor (see: 'Automatic Shut-Off').
• Heavy load: When filling hard ingredients (e.g. carrots) into the feed chute and
pushing with high pressure, after 7 minutes of continuous operation you should
make a brake of 20 minutes.
Important: To save energy and avoid overheating of the motor, do not leave the
appliance operate uselessly. Additionally, when operating the appliance continu-
ously for a too long period and/or with too heavy load, or if the motor stalls for
more than 10 seconds the safety features protecting the motor may be triggered.
In this case, the appliance will stop operation at once (see: 'Safety Features'). After
20 minutes of continuous operation, make a break of approx. 20 minutes. It is
a good idea to use this time for preparing another portion of food, emptying the
juice jug and/or pulp container, and/or ensuring that the system is free of obsta-
cles. Start the motor at the lowest speed level and leave it operate for approx.
5 seconds before selecting the desired speed and filling in your food. Avoid too
much pressure when juicing. As well, avoid filling in too large amounts of very
hard and fibrous food to avoid overload. If the motor stalls, switch off immediatly
and remove the obstacles. If required, process your food in smaller portions and/
or, if applicable, process hard ingredients combined with soft food.

TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

TIPS FOR JUICING

• When processing fruit and vegetables, 95% of the nutrients will be found in
the juices. Especially, this holds for vitamins soluble in water and for minerals.
However, it is unavoidable that high amounts of valuable nutrients get lost during
storing. Thus freshly prepared juices are an essential source of healthful nutrients.
• Each type of fruit and vegetables has an individual content of juices. Additionally,
the amount of juices you can get, depends on the type, quality, and freshness of
the ingredients. A special batch of tomatoes may give off more juice as another.
The recipes for juices do not require exact amounts and juicing is always done
with high tolerances. Exact proportions are not crucial for getting delightful drinks.

• Some types of fruit and vegetables are not suited for juicing with this type of jui-
cer. For example, for getting juices of mangoes, some citrus fruit, and quinces,
you may need to squeeze them.
Purchasing and Storing Fruit and Vegetables
• Always use fresh fruit and vegetables. Buy your ingredients in small portions, thus
avoiding long periods of storage.
• To preserve the valuable nutrients, consume freshly prepared juices straightaway.
• You can save money and get really fresh ingredients, when buying seasonal pro-
ducts.
• Most fruit and vegetables may be stored at a cool place. Only delicate food (e.g.
greens, stalks of celery, cucumbers, herbs) need to be stored in the refrigerator.
Fresh herbs and delicate greens should be packed in an airtight bag or box and
consumed before long.
• Whenever possible, buy highly perishable food (e.g. greens, most berries) just
before processing and consumption.
Preparing Fruit and Vegetables for Juicing
• Before juicing, peel fruit with hard and inedible shells and skins (e.g. melons,
kiwi fruit).
• Always remove stones and hard seeds, before juicing; e.g. when processing
dates, nectarines, peaches, apricots, plums, or cherries.
• Citrus fruit must be peeled before juicing, and there will be a lot of pulp within the
juice. Depending on the type of fruit, the juice may be very sour. It may the bet-
ter to use a special citrus squeezer and add the juice to other juices for adapting
the taste. Depending on the desired consistency of the juice, you may get good
results, when juicing citrus fruit in turn with the other ingredients.
• Your juicer can make a delicious, frothy orange drink. For this, it is best to refrige-
rate the oranges and then peel just before juicing. Give it a try.
• You avoid the typical brownish discolouration of apple juice or pulp by adding a
splash of lemon juice. Alternatively, add a piece of lemon during juicing.
The Method
• You may line the interior of the pulp container with a sufficiently large bag. This
way, emptying the pulp container is done quickly and easily by taking out the
bag. Fold the upper rim of the bag over the rim of the pulp container before posi-
tioning the pulp container at the side of the appliance.
