3 Turn the control knob to setting 1 (low speed ) or 2 (normal speed) to switch on the
appliance. (Fig. 8)
- Speed 1 is especially suitable for soft fruits and vegetables such as watermelons, grapes,
tomatoes, cucumbers and raspberries.
- Speed 2 is suitable for all kinds of fruits and vegetables.
, The corresponding speed light goes on.
4 Put the pre-cut pieces in the feeding tube and gently press them down towards the rotating
filter with the pusher (Fig. 9).
Do not exert too much pressure on the pusher, as this could affect the quality of the end result. It
could even cause the filter to come to a halt.
Never insert your fingers or an object into the feeding tube.
After you have processed all ingredients and the juice flow has stopped, switch off the appliance and
wait until the filter has stopped rotating.
5 Push the spout upwards to prevent juice from dripping out of the spout.
6 Slide the foam separator into the juice jug (1) and place the lid on the juice jug (2). In this
way, the foam stays behind in the jug when you pour out the juice. (Fig. 10)
Note: If you want your drink to have a foamy layer, do not use the foam separator.
Note: If you want to store the juice in the refrigerator, make sure the lid is on the juice jug.
Tips
- Use fresh fruit and vegetables, as they contain more juice. Pineapples, beetroots, celery stalks,
apples, cucumbers, carrots, spinach, melons, tomatoes, pomegranates, oranges and grapes are
particularly suitable for processing in the juicer.
- You do not have to remove thin peels or skins. Only remove thick peels, e.g. those of oranges,
pineapples and uncooked beetroots. Also remove the white pith of citrus fruits because it has a
bitter taste.
- When you prepare apple juice, remember that the thickness of the apple juice depends on the
kind of apple you use. The juicier the apple, the thinner the juice. Choose a kind of apple that
produces the type of juice you prefer.
- Apple juice turns brown very quickly. To slow down this process, add a few drops of lemon juice.
- Fruits that contain starch, such as bananas, papayas, avocados, figs and mangoes are not suitable
for processing in the juicer. Use a food processor, blender or bar blender to process these fruits.
- Leaves and leaf stalks of e.g. lettuce can also be processed in the juicer.
- Drink the juice immediately after you have extracted it. If it is exposed to air for some time, the
juice loses its taste and nutritional value.
- To extract the maximum amount of juice, always press the pusher down slowly.
- The juicer is not suitable for processing very hard and/or fibrous/starchy fruits or vegetables
such as sugar cane.
Cleaning
Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as alcohol, petrol or
acetone to clean the appliance.
The appliance is easier to clean if you do so immediately after use.
1 Switch off the appliance. Remove the plug from the wall socket and wait until the filter has
stopped rotating.
