important
●If the juicer starts to vibrate, switch off and empty the pulp from the filter. (The juicer vibrates if the pulp becomes unevenly distributed).
●Maximum capacity that can be processed at one time is 500g of fruit or vegetables.
●Some very hard foods may make your attachment slow down or stop. If this happens switch off and unblock the filter.
●Switch off and empty the pulp and juice containers regularly during use. hints
●Insert soft food slowly to get the most juice.
●Vitamins disappear - the sooner you drink your juice, the more vitamins you'll get.
●If you need to store the juice for a few hours put it in t he fridge. It will keep better if you add a few drops of lemon juice.
●Don't drink more than three 230mls (8 fl.oz.) glasses of juice a day unless you're used to it.
●Dilute juice for children with an equal amount of water.
●Juice from dark green (broccoli, spinach etc) or dark red (beetroot, red cabbage etc) vegetables is extremely strong, so always dilute it.
●Fruit juice is high in Fructose (fruit sugar), so people with diabetes or low blood sugar should avoid drinking too much.
