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.

11
Technique
When juicing a variety of ingredients with varying textures, start with the softer
textured ingredients on a low speed then change to high speed for the harder textured
ingredients.
If you are 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 juicing herbs or leafy green vegetables on their own, the juice yield will be low due to
the nature of centrifugal juicing. It’s best to juice them with a combination of other fruit and
vegetables.
All fruit and vegetables produce different amounts of liquids. This varies within the same
group i.e. one batch of tomatoes can produce more juice than another batch. Since juice
recipes are not exact, the precise quantities of any juice are not crucial to the success of
the recipe.
To extract the maximum amount of juice always use the food pusher down slowly.
Experiment!
It’s easy to create great tasting juice. If you have been making your own vegetable and
fruit juices, then you know how simple it is to invent new combinations. Taste, colour,
texture and ingredient preference is a personal thing. Just think of some of your favourite
avours and foods—would they work well together or would they clash? Some strong
avours could overpower more subtle avours. A good rule of thumb is to combine
starchy, pulpy ingredients with those high in moisture.
Using the pulp
The remaining pulp left after juicing fruit or vegetables is mostly bre and cellulose which,
like the juice, contains vital nutrients necessary for the daily diet. Pulp can be used in
many ways, however, like the juice, pulp should be used the same day to avoid the loss
of vitamins.
Pulp can also be used to bulk out casseroles or soups. Fruit pulp can be simply placed in
a bowl, topped with meringue and baked for a simple dessert.
Pulp is also great used in the garden for compost.
When using the pulp, there may be some pieces of fruit or vegetable remaining. These
should be removed before using the pulp in any recipes.

care and cleaning
Removing the sieve
The stainless steel sieve has very sharp teeth and so should be handled with care. The
best way to remove it from your juicer is as follows:
1. Lift the bowl with the stainless steel sieve inside it off the motor base.
2. Tip the stainless steel sieve out of the bowl. We recommend you do this over a sink
full of hot soapy water. Don’t let the sieve fall too far when tipping it out.

care and cleaning
Cleaning the sieve
• For consistent juicing results always ensure that the stainless steel sieve is
thoroughly cleaned using the supplied nylon brush. Hold the sieve under running
water and brush from the inside of the sieve to the outer rim. After cleaning the sieve,
hold it up towards a light to ensure the ne mesh holes are not blocked. If the holes
are blocked, soak the sieve in hot water with 10% lemon juice to loosen the blocked
holes. Alternatively, wash the sieve in the dishwasher.
• If pulp is left to dry on the sieve it may clog the ne pores of the mesh and reduce the
effectiveness of the Juicer.
• Do not soak the stainless steel sieve in bleach.
• Always treat the sieve with care as it can be easily damaged.
General cleaning
Do not immerse the motor base, cord or mains plug in water or any other liquid.
The stainless steel sieve and feed chute contain sharp parts. Do not touch these
parts when handling or cleaning.
• For easy cleaning - immediately after each use rinse removable parts under running
water (to remove wet pulp). Allow parts to air dry.
• After disassembling the unit all removable parts may be washed in hot soapy water.
• The juicer cover, bowl, large pulp container, stainless steel sieve and juice jug are
dishwasher safe. Only use the top shelf of your dishwasher.
• Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor base in any liquid.
• Before washing the juice jug, remove the froth separator by lifting it up and out of the
jug. Rinse the jug and separator under running water.
• Discolouration of the plastic may occur with strongly coloured fruit and vegetables. To
help prevent this, wash parts immediately after use.
• If discolouration does occur, the plastic parts can be soaked in 10% lemon juice and
water or they can be cleaned with a non abrasive cleaner.
