Getting Started Before first use • Unpack the appliance but keep all packaging materials until you have made sure your new juice extractor is undamaged and in good working order. Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children, so ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach. • Fully unwind the cord and inspect it for damage. Do not use the appliance if anything has been damaged. In such a case, contact our after sales support line for advice on examination, repair or return of the damaged product. • Read this manual to familiarise yourself with all the parts. Pay particular attention to the safety instructions on the previous pages. • Make sure the appliance is disconnected from the power supply. • Holding the rim of the filter with you fingers, lift the stainless steel filter out of the juice collector. Then lift the plastic juice collector off the motor unit. • Wash all detachable parts with a soft cloth or sponge in warm water and a little washing-up detergent to remove any dust or other remnants from the manufacturing process. CAUTION! Take care to avoid injury from the sharp blades at the bottom of the filter. • Rinse the parts with clean water and dry. • When all parts are thoroughly dry, assemble the unit as follows.
Assembly • Place the juice collector onto the top of the motor base — see Fig. 1 below. • Tilt the motor unit slightly to attach the pulp container to the appliance, fitting the top end underneath the pulp spout first, then lining up the bottom end — see Fig. 2 below.

Instructions CAUTION! The appliance will only function if all parts are properly assembled and the lid is securely locked in place with the clamp.
Using the juice extractor • Wash the fruit and/or vegetables you want to juice and cut them into pieces that fit into the feeding chute. (See page 12 for hints.) • Place the fully assembled juice extractor on a flat, stable work surface, plug it into an appropriate power point and switch on power to the outlet. • Make sure the juice jug has been placed under the spout. • Switch the appliance on by turning the control knob to speed setting LO (low speed) or HI (normal speed) — see Fig. 7 below, and page 13 for a juicing guide. * Speed LO is particularly suitable for soft fruit and vegetables: watermelons, grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers, raspberries and those with high water content. * Speed HI is suitable for hard and fibrous fruit and vegetables. • Put the pre-cut pieces into the feeding chute — see Fig. 8 below. • Use the pusher to gently press the fruit pieces down towards the rotating filter — see Fig. 9 below. NOTE: D o not exert too much pressure on the pusher, as this could affect the juice quality and it could even cause the filter to come to a halt.

Instructions (Cont.) Tips for best results •
Whenever possible, use fresh fruit and vegetables, as they contain more juice than produce that has been kept in the fruit bowl or fridge for some time.
•
The following fruit and vegetables are particularly suitable for juicing in the juice extractor: pineapple, beetroot, celery stalks, apples, cucumbers, carrots, spinach, melons, tomatoes, oranges, grapes.
•
You do not have to remove thin peels or skins. Only thick peels need to be removed, such as orange peel, pineapple skin and the skin of uncooked beetroot.
•
Pit all fruits with hard seeds or stones such as peaches, nectarines, cherries.
•
When preparing apple juice, remember that the thickness of the apple juice depends on the type of apple you are using. The juicier the apple, the thinner the juice. Choose a type of apple that produces the type of juice you prefer.
•
Apple juice turns brown very quickly. You can slow down this process by adding a few drops of lemon juice.
•
Fruits that contain starch, such as papayas, avocados, figs and mangoes, are not suitable for processing in the juice extractor. Use a food processor or blender to process these fruits.
•
Leaves and leaf stalks of lettuce and similar leaf vegetables can also be processed in the juice extractor.
•
Drink the juice immediately after extracting it. If it is exposed to air for some time, the juice will lose its taste and nutritional value. It may also change its colour and texture/consistency.
•
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 fruit or vegetables such as sugar cane.
CAUTION! Never insert your fingers or an object into the feeding chute.

Other Useful Information Care and cleaning The appliance is easier to clean if you do so immediately after use. All detachable parts are dishwasher safe, on the top tray of the dishwasher.

To clean the juice extractor after use, proceed as follows: • Switch the appliance off, remove the plug from the wall socket and wait until the filter has stopped rotating. • Remove the soiled parts from the motor unit. Disassemble the appliance in the following order: • Remove the pulp container. • Remove the pusher. • Open the clamp. • Remove the lid. • Remove the juice collector together with the filter — see Fig. 10 below. • Clean these parts with a cleaning brush in warm water with some washing-up liquid and rinse them under the tap — see Fig. 11 below. • Clean the motor unit with a damp cloth.

Switch the juicer off, clean the feeding chute and the filter and process a smaller quantity.
The filter touches the feeding chute or vibrates strongly during processing.
Switch the appliance off and unplug it. Check if the filter has been properly placed in the juice collector. The ribs in the bottom of the filter should fit properly onto the driving shaft. Check if the filter is damaged. Cracks, a loose grating disc or any other irregularity may cause malfunction. In such a case, contact our after sales support line for assistance.
