Juice extractor
Preparation
- Wash all detachable parts before you use them
for the first time (see section on cleaning).
- Put the pulp container (Q) on the motor unit and
turn it to the left until it is firmly fixed (fig. 9).
- Insert the sieve (P) (fig. 10).
- Put the lid (O) in place and finally fasten the
clamp (R) by pushing it down (fig 11 a,b,c,d).
Make sure that the clamp is on the right side of
the motor unit. Check if the lid is properly
assembled and fastened.
- Put the juice cup (S) in place (fig. 12).
- Put the plug in the socket.
• To disassemble the juice extractor, follow
these steps in reverse order and opposite
direction. So first unfasten the clamp, then
remove the lid and the sieve and finally the
white pulp container.
How to use the juice extractor
- Wash the fruits and/or vegetables and cut them
into pieces that fit into the feeding tube.
- Switch the appliance on. We advise you to
select speed 1 for most types of fruit. However,
select speed 2 for beetroots and coconut flesh
(very hard).
- Put the pieces in the feeding tube and push
them down gently with the pusher (fig. 13 a,b).
Don't exert too much pressure on the pusher,
since this would affect the quality of the end
result and it could even cause the sieve to come
to a halt.
If no more juice comes out of the appliance:
- Switch the appliance off (position O) and wait
until the sieve has completely stopped rotating.
- Remove the juice cup (fig.15).
- Drink the juice right after you have extracted it.
If it is exposed to air for some time, the juice will
lose its nutritional value and its taste. If you
want to preserve the juice, put it in a well-sealed
jug or jar and put it in the refrigerator. The juice
will then keep for max. 24 hours.
- To obtain even the last drops of juice, put the
juice cup back in the juice extractor and switch it
on again.
If the pulp container is full:
- Switch the appliance off (position O) and wait
until the sieve has completely stopped rotating.
- Unfasten the clamp and remove the lid (fig. 14).
- Remove the sieve (fig. 16).
- Detach the pulp container from the motor unit
by turning it to the right and remove it (fig. 17).
- Empty the pulp container (fig. 18).
- Clean the sieve.
- Reassemble the juice extractor and switch it on
again.
If the juice cup is full:
- Switch the appliance off (position O) and wait
until the sieve has completely stopped rotating.
- Remove the juice cup (fig. 15 ) and empty it.
• The maximum content of the juice cup is 700
ml.
Tips
• Always use fresh fruits and vegetables; they
contain more juice.
• Very suitable for juice extraction are pineapples,
beetroots, apples, cucumbers, carrots, spinach,
melons, tomatoes, oranges and grapes.
• Firm fruits that contain a lot of starch, such as
bananas, papayas, avocados, figs and
mangoes are not suitable for processing in the
juice extractor. Use the blender to process
these fruits.
• It is unnecessary to remove thin peels and
skins. Only thick peels (e.g. those of oranges,
pineapples or uncooked beetroots) need to be
removed.
• Leafs and leaf stalks of for instance lettuce can
also be processed in the juice extractor.
• If you want to extract the juice of oranges,
lemons, tangerines or grapefruits, peel the fruits
first and remove the white skin underneath
before you start processing, as this skin has a
bitter taste.
• Apple juice turns brown very quickly. You can
slow down this process by adding a few drops
of lemon juice.
• The pulp of carrots, beetroots, cabbage or
spinach can be used as the basis for soups,
sauces, jam, desserts, ice cream etc. Boil the
pulp and add some herbs. Puree the pulp in the
blender. You can use tomato pulp to make
tomato paste.
• Just try the following combinations of juices:
apple/carrot, orange/grape,
pineapple/grapefruit, carrot/beetroot,
carrot/melon and apple/orange.
