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
-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.
