Slow Juicing with the Platino Plus

1. Once all parts are securely in place, connect the power cord to an approved power
source.
2. Place a collector under the Sorbet/Pulp Ejector, and either a glass or the additional
collector under the Juice Ejector.
3. The Platino Plus has 3 settings (Figure 7)

4. Before placing food in the Platino Plus, make sure all foods have been thoroughly washed;
if food has to be peeled, there is no need to wash. Also make sure to cut all foods to an
appropriate size, so it easily fits into the Food Chute. We recommend cutting food into
slim, 3-inch pieces. Please make sure to remove any hard seeds or pits, such as cherry or
plum pits, as they will not process in the Platino Plus and can damage the Auger.
5. Make sure the unit has been switched to ON before placing any food into the Platino
Plus. Once the food has been dropped into the Food Chute, the Auger will begin
squeezing the food to form the juice. DO NOT push, force, or overstuff the unit. The
Pusher provided with the Platino Plus is only to use when food obstructs the inside of
the Food Chute. Do not insert any other utensil into the unit other than the Pusher when
operating this unit.
6. It is best to insert all food at a slow pace, allowing all pulp to be extracted from the fruit
or vegetable completely.
7. Turn the Platino Plus off when juicing is complete. Do not run the Platino Plus without
any food inside the unit as this could overheat the motor.
8. Remember to close the drip stopper on the Juice Ejector when you have finished juicing
to avoid dripping or spilling juice onto your counter.
9. The Platino Plus has a unique cleaning process when switching between different types
of juices. To clean, simply place one of the collectors under the Juice Ejector, make sure
the drip stopper is open and pour water though the Food Chute with the unit running.
This will rinse out most of the remaining residue from your last juice. When the water
begins to run clear, that is an indication the unit is clean and ready to make a new juice
recipe. When you have finished rinsing, close the drip stopper on the Juice Ejector to
prevent dripping.
NOTE: This process is not an alternative to a complete cleaning of each
disassembled part.
