smelly vegetables
Don't juice anything really strong or pungent, like onions or garlic. No matter how well
you clean your juicer, you'll never get rid of the taste.
apples & pears
Core apples and pears, and discard the cores/seeds – the seeds aren't good for you.
bananas
Don't try to juice bananas – the residue will clog the grating sieve.
oranges, grapefruit and tangerines
Peel oranges, grapefruit and tangerines. The oil in their skins is bitter and difficult to
digest, the pith is bitter.
pomegranates
Remove the skin and pith – they really don't taste nice.
watermelon
Watermelon rind can be left on, but some people find the taste a bit "green". Try a bit
first and see what you think. If you remove the rind you'll miss out on many of the
nutrients, but it's not medicine – it's meant to taste nice.
cut down
Cut fruit and vegetables down so they'll go through the tube. Use the pusher to clear
anything that sticks, to push down the last bits of fruit, and to push down carrots,
celery and other long fruit and veg.
Bunch up leafy greens, parsley, wheat grass and beansprouts into a small tight ball and
push it down the tube with the pusher.
pulp
When you've finished juicing, don't just throw the pulp in the bin. It may still contain a
great deal of goodness. Before you throw it away, think of things like thickening for
soups or stews, pie-fillings, or even the compost heap.
care and maintenance
1 Switch off (0) and unplug before moving, dismantling or cleaning the juicer.
caution
take care when handling the grating sieve – it's sharp.
dismantling
2 Lift the pusher from the tube.
3 Turn the top of the pusher anti-clockwise, to separate the small pusher from the big
one.
4 Pull the bottoms of the clamps away from the motor unit, to release the cover.
5 Lift the cover off, and put it on a plate or in a basin to catch any drips.
6 Grip the edges of the grating sieve, and lift it out of the pulp container.
7 Lift the pulp container off the motor unit.
cleaning
8 Wipe the outside of the motor unit with a clean damp cloth.
9 Wash all the removable parts in warm soapy water, and leave them to drain dry.
10 Don't put any part of the juicer in a dishwasher.
11 The extreme environment inside the dishwasher can affect the surface finishes.
