INGREDIENTS PREPARATION
Soft fruits and vegetables (e.g. oranges, tomatoes):
Before operating: If the juicer is jammed or if the drum lid does
not open, press the REVERSE button and hold until it becomes
dislodged.
Repeat REVERSE-OFF-FORWARD as needed.
Continue operating the juicer until all the ingredients in the juicing
bowl are extracted. The drum lid may not open easily if there is a
lot of pulp remaining in the juicer.
Every ingredient yields different amounts of juice.
For the optimal extraction and maximum juice yield, cut the
ingredients following the guidelines given in this section.
Insert ingredients slowly monitoring how the ingredients are extracted.
The juice yield may vary depending on the juicing speed.
Before
Operating
Juice Yield
PREPARATION TIPS:
Cut 1-4 wedges.
EXTRACTION TIPS:
Slowly insert the ingredients one piece at a time.
Use the pusher to push the ingredients down the feeding tube. (The pusher also helps
prevent juice from spraying out of the feeding tube when extracting ingredients with
high water content)
Leave the anti drip tap open when juicing ingredients that create excessive foam during
extraction. (Foam can accumulate if operated with the anti drip tap closed.)
It is recommended that the extracted juice be consumed within 48 hours after
extracting. Depending on the density of the ingredients the extracted juice can
gradually show layers overtime.
If there is an excessive amount of foam, use a mesh strainer to separate it from the juice.
When an ingredient is being masticated by the juicing screw, the squeezed ingredient
may splash juice through the feeding tube. Use the pusher to block out the juice splash
when juicing .
1-4 wedges
Peel the skin off oranges. Remove the stem from tomatoes
and apples.
If the ingredients are larger than the feeding tube, cut the
ingredients into pieces that will fit into the feeding tube.
Fruits with seeds must be pitted before extraction. Cut to 1-4
wedges then slowly insert the ingredients down the feeding
tube.

19
Fridja f1800
Hard fruits and vegetables (e.g. carrots, potato, beets, & spinach):
Juicing with the anti drip tap closed allows mixed juice creations
with different fruits, vegetables and liquids.
After juicing, close the smart cap to block excess juice from dripping,
especially when disassembling the juicing bowl off the base.
When making juices quickly rinse away any leftover flavours by running a
glass of water through the juicer with the anti drip tap closed.
Leave the anti drip tap open when juicing ingredients that create
excessive foam during extraction (e.g. apples, celery).
Pay close attention when operating the juicer with the smart cap
closed. Juice may overflow if the juice collected in the juicing bowl
exceeds its capacity marked on the juicing bowl.
Depending on the ingredient, you may get extra pulp in the juice
when juicing continuously.
To reduce the amount of pulp, disassemble the top-set and wash
frequently.
How to Use
the Smart
Cap:
Adjusting
the amount
of pulp in
the juice:
Hard fruits and
vegetables may put
excess strain onto the
motor and cause it
to stall.
Soak in cold water prior
to juicing and cut to
appropriate sizes.
To increase the juice
yield, juice fruits and
vegetables with high
water content.
PREPARATION TIPS:
Slice the ingredients 1 inch thick or cut 1 inch wide and 2-6 inches long.
Soak hard ingredient like carrots and ginger in cold water prior to juicing.
EXTRACTION TIPS:
Slowly insert the ingredients one at a time.
Pace the juicing speed to ensure each ingredient is thoroughly extracted.
To maximize the juice yield, use ingredients with high water content.

20
WholeFruitSlowJuicer
Ingredients with small seeds (e.g. raspberry, pomegranate, grape):
Slowly insert Ingredients with small seeds to prevent the seeds from clogging
the strainer.
PREPARATION TIPS:
When juicing frozen ingredients (e.g. raspberry, strawberry) make sure they are
completely thawed.
Thoroughly rinse ingredients like grapes. Take the grapes off and discard the stem.
For pomegranate, discard the skin and juice only the inner part.
EXTRACTION TIPS:
Depending on the size of the grape, insert 3-5 grapes at a time while monitoring the
extraction result.
Thaw frozen ingredients like pomegranate and raspberry then insert about 1 tablespoon
(5g) at a time.
Frozen ingredients usually lose significant amount of fluid from thawing. When juicing,
mix milk or yogurt to balance the fluid lost.
Insert ingredients slowly to
minimize the amount of leftover
seeds in the strainer.
For best result, juice with
ingredients with higher amount
of fluid (e.g. apple, pear)
CAUTION
If the lid does not open due to excessive amount of small seeds left in the juicing
bowl, continuously run the juicer for 30 second to extract any leftover seeds. If
the lid is still stuck, repeat REVERSE - OFF- FORWARD until the ingredients become
dislodged. Then twist the lid to open while pushing downwards on the lid with
palms (depending on the ingredient, pour some water down the feeding tube for
quick rinsing to help dislodging).
