INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing our product.
In doing so, you have opted for an effective high-per-
formance appliance.
The Slow Juicer is a new type of low-speed slow
grinder for fruit and vegetables. This new Juicer has
two separate outlets for the juice and the pulp. The
method of extraction is masticating and pressing, us-
ing the screw-like auger much like a mortar and pes-
tle. The action tears open the food’s cell membranes
and releases its deep-seated nutrients and enzymes.
It also releases more phytonutrients, resulting in a
richer coloured juice that retains more vitamins and
minerals. The slow revolutions per minute ensure that
it does not disrupt the cellular structure of fruit and
vegetables, eliminating oxidation and separation. It
consequently preserves the natural form of precious
enzymes and nutrients, even from wheatgrass, soy
and leafy greens.
If the instructions on the correct use of this appliance
are not observed, the manufacturer shall assume no
responsibility for any resulting damage.
The operating instructions may refer to different mod-
els:anydifferenceisclearlyidentied.

BEFORE FIRST USE
Carefully wipe the outside of the appliance to remove
any dust that may have accumulated. Dry with a dry
cloth. Do not use any harsh abrasive cleaners. Wash
the accessories in warm soapy water. Then dry with
a dry towel. Do not immerse the supply cord or any
motor parts of this appliance in water or other liquids.
This appliance has a built-in safety lock
which ensures that you can only switch the
appliance on if you have assembled the juicer
correctly on the motor unit. When assembled
correctly, the built-in safety lock is inactive.
ASSEMBLING THE JUICER (A)
Under the bowl there is a rubber pad allow-
ing the discharge of all the juice only from
the juice outlet. Before juicing, make sure the pad
is plugged in completely to prevent any leakage.
Before you assemble the juicer, ensure that the power
cord is unplugged.
1. Put the strainer into the strainer holder.
2. Put the strainer holder into the juice bowl. Be
sure to align the arrow on the strainer with the
arrow on the bowl. When the two arrows are
properly aligned, the strainer should lock into
the bowl, thus preventing it from moving around.
Make sure that the teeth along the lower edge of
thestrainerholdertproperlyintothecogwheel
inside the bowl.
3. Place the Juice bowl on top of the main body:
make sure the bowl is in place by inserting the
3 hooks on the main body into the 3 slots on
the bowl bottom. Perform a slight rotation in a
clockwise direction until a click is heard.
4. Put the Juice Auger into the strainer and rotate
until it falls into place. To make sure that the
screw is in the correct position, verify that the
upper surface is below the level of the strainer
edge.
5. Fit the lid on the Juice bowl and turn it in position
so it locks into the main body.
6. Placethepulptanksothatittsin position on
the left hand side of the juicer’s main body. Be
sure to align the arrow on the lid with the arrow
on the bowl.
7. Place the juice cup under the Juicer spout.
8. Slide the food pusher down the food chute. The
pushercanonlytoneway.
If the Juice bowl and lid are not correctly
assembled, the Juicer will not operate. This
is a safety feature.
USING YOUR JUICER
The Slow Juicer is suitable for celery, spinach, carrots,
apples, bananas, tomatoes, cucumbers, balsam pear
and all the fruits and vegetables which contain juice,
but not for those containing starch.
1. Clean the fruit and vegetables thoroughly,
making them ready for juicing.

55
en
hotpoint.co.uk
2. When juicing fruit with stones or hard seeds, pit
the fruit.
3. If the pieces of fruit or vegetables are very large,
chopthemtoasizethatwilltdownthejuicer’s
food chute.
4. Turn clockwise the control knob to the ON
position to juice the fruit.
5. Press the food pusher slowly down until all fruit
or vegetables have gone through the juicer. Do
not press the food pusher rapidly as the juicer
will not be as effective.
Do not put your hand or any other object in
the food chute during operation.
6. The juice from the fruit and/or vegetables will
owdirectlyintothejuicecupandthepulpwill
be collected in the pulp bin.
7. When juicing is complete, ensure that the juicer’s
control knob is set to the OFF position, the
power is turned off at the outlet and the juicer is
unplugged. Now the unit can be disassembled
safely.
8. If the Juice Bowl is stuck and does not detach
from the base, turn the knob to “R” for 3-5
seconds. Repeat the process 2-3 times.
Do not turn the knob quickly from ON to R,
but wait a few seconds in the OFF position.
TIPS FOR JUICING
• Cut food items into small pieces for optimal
extraction.
• Do not use ice or frozen fruit.
• Put food into feeding tube. Do not push heavily.
• Insert food at regular speed, allowing all the pulp
tobeextractedwithmaximumefciency.
• When juicing leafy greens or wheatgrass, we
suggest mixing them with fruit or other hard
vegetables for optimal results.
• Insert nuts to be juiced only with other foods
such as soaked soybeans or liquids.
• Do not operate with an empty bowl.
• Leftover juice should be refrigerated or frozen.
• When selecting fruit and vegetables for juicing,
always select fresh and properly ripe specimens.
Fresh fruit and vegetables carry more avour
and juice than those that are not properly ripe.
Juice is best consumed when freshly made, as
this is when its vitamin and mineral content is
the highest.
• For better tasting citrus juice, also remove the
inner white peel from the fruit.
• Fruit with stones or hard seeds (i.e. mangoes,
nectarines, apricots and cherries) should be
pitted before juicing.
• A small amount of lemon can be added to the
apple juice to prevent the juice from browning.
• Bananas can be difcult to juice. When you
use bananas, add them as the rst or second
ingredient: the nectar of the bananas will ow
through into the juice from the other fruits.
• When juicing fruits and vegetables having
different consistencies, it may help to juice
different combinations. For example juice soft
fruitrst(i.e.oranges),thenfollowwithhardfruit
(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 placing them in
the juicer or combine them with other ingredients
at low speed.

DISPOSAL OF OLD ELECTRICAL
APPLIANCES
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old hou-
sehold electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the
normal unsorted municipal waste stream.
Old appliances must be collected separately in order to op-
timise the recovery and recycling of the materials they con-
tain and reduce the impact on human health and the envi-
ronment.
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of
your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be sepa-
rately collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or retai-
ler for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.
