assembling
Be careful when handling the stainless steel sieve. Do not touch the small sharp
blades inside the sieve.
Place the motor base on a at, dry surface such as your kitchen worktop. Ensure that the
3-position switch is in the off (0) position, then switch the appliance off at the power outlet
and unplug the cord.
1. Fit the bowl onto the motor base. The spout on the lter bowl should be on the same
side of the motor base as the safety locking arm.
2. Gently push the sieve down onto the motor base drive coupling until it clicks into
place. Make sure that the sieve is tted securely inside the bowl and onto the drive
coupling.
3. Place the juicer cover over the bowl. The feed chute should be positioned over the
stainless steel sieve.
4. Pivot the safety locking arm upwards until it engages with the two grooves in the
juicer cover. The safety locking arm should now be vertical and locked into place on
the top of your juicer. If the arm doesn’t t into place easily, don’t force it. Check that
you have tted the juicer cover correctly.
5. Tilt the large pulp container slightly and place it underneath the pulp outlet side of the
juicer cover.
6. Fit the lid onto the juice jug. Position the juice jug over the juice outlet spout on the
right hand side of your juicer.
7. Slide the food pusher into the feed chute. The food pusher has a groove in it which
must be lined up with the protrusion inside the feed tube.

using your whole fruit juicer
1. Wash your selection of fruit or vegetables ready for juicing.
2. Make sure that your whole fruit juicer is correctly assembled and that the stainless
steel sieve is thoroughly cleaned before each use (refer to care and cleaning). Place
the juice jug (or a glass) under the spout before starting to juice.
3. Connect the plug into a suitable electrical socket. Set the 3-position switch to either
1for low speed or 2for high speed depending on the type of fruit or vegetable being
juiced.
4. With your whole fruit juicer running, place the food into the feed chute. Using the food
pusher, gently guide the food down the feed chute. To extract the maximum amount
of juice, always push the food pusher down slowly. Juice will ow into the juice jug
and the separated pulp will accumulate in the pulp container.
Hints and tips
To minimize washing up, place a plastic freezer bag into the pulp container to collect the
pulp.
Most fruit and vegetables such as apples, carrots and cucumbers will not need to be cut
to size as these will t into the feed chute whole. When juicing carrots place the tip of the
carrot into the feed chute last.
Don’t allow the pulp container to overll as this may cause damage or prevent correct
operation.
The pulp container can be emptied during juicing by turning your whole fruit juicer off.
Carefully remove the pulp container, empty it then replace it before continuing to juice.
When juicing hard foods, we recommend a maximum quantity of 3kg with a
maximum operating time of 2 minutes. Switch your whole fruit juicer off for
approximately 10 minutes before resuming juicing.
Some very hard foods may make your juicer slow down or stop. if this
happens, switch off and unplug your juicer then unblock the sieve.

hints and tips
95% of the nutrient content of fruit and vegetables is found in the juice. Liquids extracted
from fresh fruits and vegetables form an important part of a well-balanced healthy diet.
Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are an easy way to introduce a source of vitamins and
minerals to your diet. Juices are rapidly absorbed into the blood stream therefore being
the quickest way in which the body can digest nutrients.
When you make your own juices, you have complete control over what you include
in them. You select the ingredients and decide if you need to use sugar, salt or other
avouring agents.
Freshly extracted juices should be consumed just after they have been made to avoid a
loss of vitamin content.
Purchasing and storing fruit and vegetables
• To save money and obtain fresher produce, purchase fruit or vegetables that are in
season—see the fruit and vegetable facts chart on page 12.
• Keep your fruit and vegetables ready for juicing by washing them before storing.
• Most fruits and hardier type vegetables can be stored at room temperature. The
more delicate and perishable items such as tomatoes, berries, leafy greens, celery,
cucumbers and herbs should be stored in the refrigerator until required.
Preparation of fruit and vegetable
• Always use fresh fruit and vegetables for juicing.
• Always wash fruit and vegetables before juicing.
• If you are using fruits with hard or inedible skins such as mangoes, guava, melons or
pineapple, always peel them before juicing.
• Citrus fruit can be juiced in your whole fruit juicer if peeled rst.
• All fruits with pits, hard seeds or stones such as nectarines, peaches, mangoes,
apricots, plums and cherries must be pitted or destoned before juicing.
• A small amount of lemon juice can be added to apple juice to prohibit browning.
