OPERATING THE JUICE EXTRACTOR
OPERATING THE JUICE EXTRACTOR
1. Wash and prepare your selection of fruit
and/or vegetables :
Fruits with hard or inedible skins such as
citrus fruit, melons and kiwi fruit should
be peeled before juicing. Pineapple
can be juiced with or without the rind
removed.
Fruits with pits, hard seeds or stones
such as nectarines, peaches, mangoes,
apricots, plums and cherries must be
pitted before juicing.
2. Ensure the Juice Extractor is correctly
assembled with the Safety Locking Arm
securely locked into the vertical position
and the Juice Jug under the spout.
NOTE
As a safety precaution, the Juice
Extractor will not operate if the Safety
Locking Arm is not securely locked
into the vertical position.
3. Plug the power cord into a 230V/240V
power outlet. Then turn the power on at
the outlet. The START | STOP button
surround will illuminate.
NOTE
The button surround will illuminate
for 2 minutes before entering stand-
by mode. To re-activate the Juice
Extractor out of stand-by mode, press
or turn the START | STOP button.

OPERATING THE JUICE EXTRACTOR
4. Rotate the speed control dial to
the desired speed. Use the speed
selector table on page 14 as a guide for
juicing different fruit and vegetables.
For your convenience, a juicing speed
guide is also printed on the inside of
the Pulp Container.
NOTE
The SMOOTHIE, ICE and PULSE
settings can only be selected when
the appliance is assembled as a blender.
5. Push the START | STOP button. With
the motor running and while the
Food Pusher, gently guide food down
the Feed Chute. Do not exert excess
pressure. To extract the maximum
amount of juice, always push the Food
Pusher down slowly.
IMPORTANT:
Do not load the Feed Chute with food
until the motor is running.
TIPS
• A small amount of lemon juice
can be added to the fruit and/or
vegetables to inhibit browning.
• When juicing herbs, sprouts or
leafy green vegetables, either wrap
them together to form a bundle
or juice them in the middle of a
combination of ingredients on low
speed to obtain the best extraction.
If only juicing herbs or leafy green
vegetables, the juice yield will be
low due to the nature of centrifugal
juicing. It is advised to juice them
with a combination of other fruits
and vegetables.
• When juicing different ingredients
of varying textures, start with the
softer textured ingredients on low
speed then change to high speed for
harder textured ingredients. This
assists in extracting the maximum
amount of juice by clearing the
Filter Basket between ingredients.
6. As fruits and vegetables are processed,
juice will flow into the Juice Jug and the
separated pulp will accumulate in the
Pulp Container.
NOTE
The Pulp Container can be emptied
during juicing by turning the Juice
Extractor off and then carefully
removing the Pulp Container. Replace
the empty Pulp Container into
position before continuing to juice.
Do not allow the Pulp Container
to over-fill as this may affect the
operation of the appliance.

OPERATING THE JUICE EXTRACTOR
7. Immediately after each use, use the
provided nylon brush to thoroughly
clean the fine mesh holes of the Filter
Basket and rinse the remaining
removable parts under running water.
For more cleaning information, refer
to ‘Cleaning the Juice Extractor’ on
page 20.
The Breville Juice & Blend is fitted with
protection devices as a safety precaution to
prevent both personal injury and damage to
the appliance.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
This protection device safeguards against
overloading the motor with excessive loads.
If overloading occurs, the Overload
Protection will automatically de-activate
the motor. When this occurs, unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet and press
the OVERLOAD RESET button found on the
underside of the Motor Base. This will reset
the Overload Protection, enabling you to
reconnect the power cord to the wall outlet
and recommence normal use.
OVERHEAT PROTECTION
This protection device safeguards
against overheating of the motor with
excessive loads.
If overheating occurs, the START | STOP
button surround will flash red and the
Overheat Protection will automatically
de-activate the motor. When this occurs,
unplug the power cord from the wall outlet
and allow the appliance to cool for at least 15
minutes. Then reconnect the power cord to
the wall outlet and recommence normal use.
ELECTRONIC PROTECTION
This protection device will automatically
de-activate the motor if the motor is stalled.
If the motor stalls, the START | STOP button
surround will flash red and the Electronic
Protection will automatically de-activate
the motor. When this occurs, unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet and clear the
Feed Chute. Either too much food is being
processed at one time or the pieces are not
small enough. Try trimming food, cutting
food into smaller pieces of even size and/
or processing a smaller amount per batch.
Then reconnect the power cord to the wall
outlet and recommence normal use.
