Cleaning and maintenance

● Wash the appliance thoroughly after each use to
prevent adhesion of juice and pulp to the walls.
● Use a soft brush to remove dirt from crevices and
corners of the appliance.
● Clean the motor unit using a damp cloth with some
washing liquid. Then dry thoroughly.
If water or juice leaks into the inside of
the motor unit, abort operation
immediately and have the appliance
checked at a service centre.
● Wash the following elements in warm soapy water:
juice bowl, lid, pusher, jug with froth separator, pulp
container.
● The lid, pusher and pulp container can also be
washed in a dishwasher at max. 60°C.
● Wash the strainer only using the brush supplied
with the appliance. Never use any metal brushes for
washing the strainer!
● Some plastic parts of the appliance may change
colour after long-term use. It is not a defect.
● Orange stains from carrot juice can be removed by
cleaning the surface with a cloth immersed in cooking oil.
● Dry all parts thoroughly after washing.
● Reassemble the appliance (see "Assembling").
Take care when handling transparent
plastic parts of the appliance. They are
sensitive to hitting and falling and may
break easily.
Preparing healthy and delicious juice
● Fruit and vegetables for juice extraction process
should be fresh and well washed. Vegetables should be
cleaned of sand and soil under running water and peeled.
Handbooks on juice preparation recommend soaking the
vegetables in water with salt and citric acid for 5 minutes.
Prepared in this way, vegetables do not darken during
processing and the juice has a natural colour.
● Berry fruits should be washed directly before use,
so they retain their freshness.
● Your selection of fruit and vegetables depends on
the time of year, your tastes and recommended diet.
Nutritional values of fruit and vegetable juices depend
on the method of preparation.
● For perfect flavour and fragrance, juices should be
made with ripe, fresh and juicy fruits and vegetables.
● The following vegetables are best to juice: tomatoes,
carrots, celeries, beetroots, parsleys, onions, cabbages,
cucumbers, black turnip, rhubarb, etc.
● Vegetables like radish, chives, green parsley, dill and
cress can be added to juice finely chopped.
● Almost all kinds of fruit are suitable for juicing.
● After washing, apples, peaches, apricots and plums
should be blanched in boiling water on a strainer.
● Make sure to remove stones from the fruit you wish
to juice, as they may damage your appliance.
● Juicing plums, blueberries, raspberries, soft pears
and apples, or other soft fruit may be problematic,
as the flesh of these fruit turns into a spongy pulp,
blocking the strainer mesh. To process this type of fruit
successfully, it is best to add them in small quantities to
other fruit or vegetables. More frequent cleaning of the
strainer is required.
● You can extract a small amount of grapes juice, but
it is necessary to put whole bunch to the chute after
removing ligneous stalk.
● Root vegetables and hard fruit should be cut into
pieces small enough to pass through the feeder tube.
Cut the apples into pieces (if not small enough to enter
the feeder tube) without peeling and coring.
● Feed the fruit or vegetables into the tube only after
starting the appliance.
● The nutritional value of freshly extracted juice is
comparable to that of the fruit and vegetables before
processing.
● Fresh juices are especially recommended for
children and the elderly.
● As vegetable juice tends to be very thick, it is
recommended to have it with a small amount of water.
If not diluted, a daily portion of vegetable juice should
not be larger than half a glass.
● It is not recommended to mix fruit and vegetables,
except for vegetable-apple combinations. Melon juice
should not be combined with other juices.
● Juices should not be stored for later consumption.
● The following spices can be added to vegetable
juices to improve their flavour: pepper, dill, cumin,
nutmeg, thyme and marjoram. Fruit beverages can
be made with added: vanilla, cinnamon and clove. It is
recommended to crush the spices thoroughly before
use to enjoy their full fragrance. Spices should be used
in small quantities to maintain the natural fragrance
and flavour of your juices. Due to low caloric content,
fruit and vegetable juices are highly recommended for
people on a slimming diet.
● Fruit and vegetable juices are best served at room
temperature or with ice cubes.
