TipsforJuicing
Cut food items into small pieces for optimal
extraction.
Do not place ice or frozen fruit into the Juice
Press.Donotpushthefooddownwithexcessive
force. The food pusher is designed to gently
pushfooddown.
Insertfoodat a regularspeed,allowing all the
pulptobeextracted. For maximum efciency,
do not rush this process. When juicing leafy
greensorwheat grass, itissuggested that you
mix it with fruits or other hard vegetables for
optimalresults.Juicenutsonlywithotherfoods
suchassoaked soybeans orliquids.Checkthe
recipesattheendoftheoperatinginstructions
for ideas. The juice from fresh fruit and
vegetables is high in nutritional content. Juice
from fresh fruit and vegetables is an important
partofabalanceddiet.
Whenselectingfruitandvegetablesforjuicing,
alwaysselectfreshandwellripenedspecimens.
Fresh fruit and vegetables carry more avour
and juice than those that are not properly
ripened. Juice is best consumed when freshly
made as this is when its vitamin and mineral
contentishighest.
YourJuicePresscanhandlemostvarietiesoffruit
andvegetables.Ifusingfruitwithhard,inedible
skin (i.e. watermelons, pineapple, mangoes
etc.)alwayspeeltheskinbeforeplacinginthe
Juice Press. The skin of citrus fruit should also
be removed before fruit is placed in the Juice
Press.Forbettertastingcitrusjuice,alsoremove
the inner white peel from the fruit. Fruits with
stonesorhardseeds(i.e.mangoes,nectarines,
apricots,and cherries)shouldbepittedbefore

The Juice Press is not suitable for juicing very
hard and starchy fruits or vegetables such as
sugar cane. When juicing fruit and vegetables
of different consistency it may help to juice
differentcombinations,i.e.juicesoftfruitrst,(i.e.
oranges)thenfollowwithhardfruit(i.e.apples).
This will help you achieve maximum juice
extraction. If juicing herbs or leafy vegetables,
wrap them together to form a bundle before
placingintheJuicePressorcombinethemwith
otheringredientsforjuicing.
NOTE: The Juice Press will only function
correctly if all parts have been assembled
correctly, the hopper is in position.
