KL
Place a bowl under the pulp spout and place the juice jug under the juice spout . Ensure the anti-drip stopper is in the open position before juicing.
To use your juicer - Step 3

Use the recommended usage chart as a guide for juicing different fruits and vegetables.
Switch to speed 6 on your Kitchen Machine and feed the food items down slowly using the pusher until processed.
Note: The wiper holder is designed to rotate during operation.
To extract the maximum amount of juice, always push the food down slowly using the pusher. Do not use excessive force as the food should be pulled down by the scroll.
After adding the last piece of food, allow the juicer to run to help clear the juice from the juicing bowl. The time will vary depending on the fruit type and thickness of the juice extracted.

M
Switch off and wait until the final flow of juice has reduced to a few slow drips. Then place the anti-drip stopper in position before removing the jug.

Refer to the troubleshooting section if you experience any problems with the operation of the attachment.

Clutch operation
There is an internal clutch designed to protect the attachment in the event that it becomes jammed. An occasional "clicking" sound in use is normal operation, however if food becomes jammed in the feed tube or scroll and the juicer stops operating, which results in a continual "clicking" sound, switch off the Kitchen Machine and remove the attachment.

Once the attachment is removed from the Kitchen Machine, remove the lid and clear the blockage. If the lid is jammed and difficult to remove, use the spanner bo provided to turn the attachment drive shaft in an anti-clockwise direction until the food becomes dislodged and the lid can be removed. Once the food is released re-assemble the attachment and re-fit to the Kitchen Machine.

Juicer hints and tips

Wash all fruit and vegetable thoroughly before juicing.
To maximise juice extraction place small quantities at a time in the feed tube and push down slowly.
Hard foods are best juiced at room temperature.
You do not have to remove thin peels or skins. Only remove thick peels that you would not eat e.g. those of oranges, pineapples, melons and uncooked beetroots.
Use fresh fruit and vegetables as they contain more juice.
Remove stones and hard seeds from cherries, plums etc.
Vitamins disappear - the sooner you drink your juice, the more vitamins you will get.
If you need to store the juice for a few hours put it in the fridge. It will keep better if you add a few drops of lemon juice.

Health Recommendations

Do not drink more than three 230mls (8 fl.oz.) glasses of juice a day unless you are used to it.
Dilute juice for children with an equal amount of water.
Juice from dark green (broccoli, spinach etc.) or dark red (beetroot, red cabbage etc.) vegetables is extremely strong, so always dilute it.
Fruit juice is high in Fructose (fruit sugar), so people with diabetes or low blood sugar should avoid drinking too much.

Recommended usage chart

Fruit/Vegetable	Preparation	Hints and Tips
Apples	Cut down to fit the feed tube.	To maximise juice extraction hard foods are best juiced when at room temperature.
Carrots	Cut down to fit the feed tube.
Pineapple	Remove the leaves and stalks by slicing off the top and base. Cut into lengthwise pieces.	To prevent the filter from clogging clean the filter after every large pineapple.
Seedless Grapes	Remove stalks.	Process small handfuls at a time to maximise juice extraction.
Tomatoes	Cut down to fit the feed tube.	A thick pulpy juice will be produced rather than a smooth juice.
Mangoes	Remove tough skin and stones.	The juice produced will be very thick.
Melons	Remove tough skin.	–
Kiwi fruits	Cut down to fit the feed tube.	–
Soft berries - (Raspberries, Blackberries etc.)	Juice whole.	Process small handfuls at a time to maximise juice extraction.
Harder berries - (Cranberries etc.)	Juice whole.
Beetroot (Raw)	Remove leaves and peel.	–
Leafy Vegetables - spinach, kale, wheatgrass etc.	Wrap leaves into a bunch.	–
Celery	Juice whole.	–
Cucumber	Cut down to fit the feed tube.	–
Citrus fruits- Oranges	Peel and remove white pith.	–
Fruit with stones or hard seeds (Nectarines, Plums, Cherries etc.)	Remove the stones or hard seeds before juicing.	–
Pomegranates	Open the fruit by scoring the outside skin and breaking apart. Submerge in a large bowl of cold water and remove the seeds from the pulp (this helps to separate the seeds as they will sink to the bottom of the bowl and the white pulp will float to the top).	–

Care and cleaning

Always switch off, unplug and take the juicer apart before cleaning.
Some discolouration of parts may occur upon using ingredients such as carrot or leafy vegetables. Cleaning all parts immediately after each use will help to reduce stains.
Do not clean the pulp or filter outlet with a sharp pointed object such as the end of a knife as you will damage the bowl. Use the tip of the cleaning brush handle to clean the outlets.

Drive unit

Wipe with a damp cloth, then dry.
Do not immerse in water.

Filter

To assist with removal of pulp and fibres, place the anti-drip stopper in the closed position. Switch the juicer on and pour approximately 300mls water down the feed tube. Operate the juicer for approximately 20 seconds, place the juice jug under the juice spout and open the stopper to allow the water to flow out.
Always clean the filter basket immediately after juicing.
Use the brush supplied to clean the filter. For best results, rinse under water and brush until clear.

Wiper holder N+O

The wipers in the filter holder can be removed for cleaning. To assemble, Insert the upper/lower wipers into the gap of the filter holder and secure. Ensure that the wipers are replaced and fitted correctly before assembling the juicer.
