Kompernass KH 451 manual Preparing the fruits/vegetables, Juicing

Preparing the fruits/vegetables

•Important: Use only well ripened fruit, as other- wise the filter d could become quickly blocked. This would require repeated cleaning of the filter

d.

•Wash or peel the fruits/vegetables that you wish to process.

•Large seeds or stones should always be removed before filling the appliance.

•Stone fruit (such as apples, pears) can be pro- cessed with the skin and seed centres. Remove all other stones (peaches, plums etc.), all large seeds (melons etc.) and stalks to avoid possible damage to the appliance.

•Fruits and vegetables with thick peels (e.g. citrus fruits, melons, kiwis, beets) must always be peeled first.

•The main stalk is to be removed from grapes.

•Cut the fruit or vegetables into pieces that are sized to fit into the loading shaft w.

Note:

Raisins are not suitable for juicing as they contain too little juice. Rhubarb or other fibrous vegetables/ fruits are not suitable for juicing as the fibres block the juice extractor.

Juicing

Warning:

DO NOT operate the juice extractor for longer than 30 minutes (CO-Time) without a break. After 30 mi- nutes of continuous use allow the juice extractor to cool down. Otherwise the appliance could be damaged.

1. Switch the appliance on at the On/Off switch

o.

For fruit varieties that contain a lot of juice (e.g. grapes, melons, tomatoes) use speed setting I.

For drier fruits (e.g. carrots, apples, peas) select speed level II.

2.Hold the stodger q in one hand and feed the fruit and vegetable pieces with the other hand into the loading shaft w. ALWAYS use the stodger q to carefully press the fruit/vegetable pieces into the loading shaft w. Whilst the loaded fruit/ vegetables are being processed, insert further pieces into the loading shaft. Do not switch the appliance off.

Warning:

NEVER insert your hands or other objects into the loading shaft w when working with the appliance. This could lead to grave personal injuries and/or serious damage to the appliance.

Note:

To avoid fruit or vegetables becoming blocked in the loading shaft w, only fill it when the appliance is switched on. Should fruit or vegetable pieces be- come stuck in the loading shaft w and they cannot be promptly freed with the stodger q, proceed as follows to avoid damage to the appliance:

•Immediately switch the appliance off and remove the power plug i from the wall socket.

•Loosen the clasps r and remove the housing lid e.

•Remove the fruit or vegetable pieces causing the blockage.

•Reassemble the appliance and continue with juice extraction.
