is fitted onto the driving shaft correctly. Always
check the filter before use. If you detect any
cracks or damage, do not use the appliance and
contact the nearest technical service centre.
Lock the clamp (7) onto the lid and make sure
that the clamp (7) is locked into the right position
(Fig.5). Slide the food pusher (1) into the filling
tube by aligning the groove in the pusher with
the small protrusion on the inside of filling tube
(Fig.6). Never insert your filling or an object into
the filling tube.
Place the juice jug (14) under the spout
(Fig.7). Place the lid on the juice jug to avoid
splattering or if you want to store the juice in the
refrigerator.
NOTE: The juice extractor has a safety system
that prevents the juice extractor from being
switched on if the clamp (7) has not been fitted
correctly.
• Place the juice extractor on a flat, stable
surface and put the juice jug (14) or a similar
container below the pouring spout (16).
• Prepare the fruit or vegetables as described in
the section entitled "Preparing the food".
Warnings:
• Never use extremely fibrous fruits or
vegetables.
• Juice cannot be extracted from certain fruits
such as bananas, avocados, etc.
• Insert the foodstuffs through the filling spout
(Fig.4). Press the food down with the food
pusher (1). Never use your hands or insert
utensils such as knives, forks or spatulas.
The control knob of the juicer has 3 positions:
0 – The juicer is off. If it is connected to the
mains supply, the control knob will be illuminated
in green colour.
1 – Low speed, used mainly for soft fruits and
vegetables (melon, grape, tomatoes, strawberry,
etc). While working, the control knob will be
illuminated in blue colour.
2 – High speed, suitable for hard fruits and
vegetables (apples, pears, carrots, oranges,
lemons, grapefruits, etc). While working, the
control knob will be illuminated in blue colour.
Note: If processing fairly large quantities, never
use the appliance for longer than 30 seconds.
Then switch off the appliance. Leave the
appliance to cool down.
• When cleaning the filter, unplug the juice
extractor. Wait for the filter to come to a
standstill before opening the lid. Open the
clamp, take the filter out and remove the pulp.
Clean away any pulp that is stuck to the lid.
Note: Given that flavours do not mix, after you
prepare a certain type of juice you can then go
on to use another type of fruit without having to
clean the appliance.
• To get the full benefit of the juice it should be
consumed as soon as it is prepared.

Preparing the food

Warning! Process ripe and unfrozen fruit and
vegetables only. Unripe fruit and vegetables will
block the filter very quickly.
• First, wash the fruit and vegetables.
• Remove stones from fruit. Remove large
stalks.
• Chop up large fruit and vegetables so that
they fit the filling tube.
• Process only fresh fruit and vegetables
because they are juicier.
• Peel fruit beforehand if it has thick and hard
peel, e.g. pineapples, melons, oranges,
grapefruits and raw beetroot. Remove the
white skin from citrus fruits as it has a bitter
aftertaste.
• The consistency of apple juice depends on the
kind of apple used. The juicier the apple, the
thinner the juice. Add a few drops of lemon
juice to the apple juice to delay the juice from
turning brown.
• Leaves and stems (e.g. stalks from leaf salad)
can also be processed in this juicer.
• If possible, drink juice as soon as it has
been prepared. Juices lose their flavour and
nutritional value if they are exposed to the air
for a while.
• Starchy fruits (e. g. bananas, papayas,
avocados, figs and mangos) are not suitable
for juicing in this appliance.
Cleaning & Maintenance
The appliance is easier to clean if you do so
immediately after use.
Check that the appliance is switched off and
unplugged from the mains. Dismantle the juice
extractor and wash the removable parts in
soapy water. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove
any pulp that may block the holes in the filter.
Dry the pieces thoroughly before refitting them.
Wipe down the motor housing with a slightly
damp cloth. Never immerse it in water or any
other liquid. Do not use abrasive clean agents.
All the detachable parts are dishwasher-safe.
Place the detachable plastic parts on the top
tray of the dishwasher. Make sure they are
placed well away from the heating element.
The filter (4) will eventually wear with use.
Replace it as soon as you notice the first signs
of wear. If your juice extractor is used on a daily
basis, it will need replacing every five years,
approximately. Replacement filters can be
obtained from an Authorised Technical Service
Centre.
To guarantee a long service life of the filter,
as well as to prolong its initial appearance, we
recommend hand-washing for the filter instead
of washing it into the dishwasher.
