12Don’t put the motor unit in water or any other liquid.

13Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.

grating sieve

14If the grating sieve is clogged, hold it under a running tap and brush along the surface of the mesh with a nylon washing up brush. Don’t try to poke the bristles through the mesh – you’ll break it.

staining

15Carotenoids, which are found in many other vegetables as well as carrots, can cause severe staining. This staining may be impossible to remove. Don’t worry about it, it won’t affect the operation of the juicer.

16If you want to try, then you could try soaking the stained parts overnight in one of the following:

a)quarter of a cup of household bleach in a sink full of warm water

b)a mixture of 1 part white vinegar to two parts warm water

c)half a small packet of baking soda in enough warm water to cover the parts

caution Don’t try to mix these methods. You may make a mess, you may cause nasty eye-watering, breath-catching fumes, and you may harm the parts you’re trying to clean.

reassembly

17Put the pulp container on top of the motor unit, with the spout at the front.

18Put the grating sieve into the pulp container and rotate it till it catches on the drive.

19Align the catches with the clamps, and lower the cover on to the pulp container.

20 Fit the tops of the clamps over the catches, then press the bottoms of the clamps in, towards the motor unit, to lock the cover in place.

21 Put the small pusher inside the big one, and turn it clockwise, to lock them together. 22 Replace the pusher in the tube.

positioning

23 Sit the motor unit on a dry, firm, level surface, near a power socket.

24 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.

in use

25 You’ll need a jug or bowl to use as a juice container. 26 Check that you’ve assembled the juicer correctly.

27Check that the switch is off – move it to 0.

28Put the plug into the power socket.

29Put the juice container under the spout to collect the juice.

30Push the spout down, to open it, and allow the juice to flow.

31Move the switch to 1 (low) for soft fruit, move it to 2 (high) for harder fruit.

32With the motor running, feed cut fruit or vegetables into the tube.

33If necessary, push down gently with the pusher.

34Keep your fingers well out of the way.

35Use the big pusher for larger pieces of fruit.

36For smaller fruits, put the big pusher in the tube, and use the small pusher to push the fruit down the tube inside the big pusher.
