INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing our product.
In doing so, you have opted for an effective high-performance 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 pestle. 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 models: any difference is clearly identied.
Knob
OFF — Stops motor.
ON — Starts motor/makes juice.
The juicer will only function correctly if all its parts have been assembled correctly and the
lid is in place.
R — Reverses motor and is to be used only when food is stuck.

ASSEMBLING THE JUICER (A)
Under the bowl there is a rubber pad al-
lowing the discharge of all the juice only
from the juice outlet. Before juicing, make
sure the pad is plugged in completely to pre-
vent 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. Do not use this Juicer to squeeze
sugarcane and pomegranates.
1. Clean the fruit and vegetables thoroughly,
making them ready for juicing.
2. When juicing fruit with stones or hard seeds,
pit the fruit. Remove all hard inedible skins
(i.e. skin of melons, pineapples, citruses and
mangoes) before juicing.
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.

88
en
hotpoint.co.uk
• 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.
• If using fruit with hard inedible skin (i.e.
watermelons, pineapples, mangoes etc.)
always peel the skin before placing it in the
juicer.
• The skin of citrus fruit should also be
removed before the fruit is placed in the
juicer.
• 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.
CARE AND CLEANING
Regular maintenance of your appliance will keep
it safe and in proper operational order.
When not in use or before cleaning, always
disconnect the appliance from the mains supply.
Disassemble your juicer in the following order:
1. Remove the food pusher.
2. Remove the lid.
3. Remove the juice auger
4. Remove the strainer holder and strainer.
5. Remove the juice bowl
Wash by hand any removable parts in warm
soapy water. Then rinse and dry every part. Regu-
larly clean the outside of the appliance with a soft
damp cloth and dry with a dry towel.
Use the brush to clean thoroughly after operation.
Do not use metal sponges or scouring powders to
clean. They can damage the appliance.
Make sure the rubber pad is pulled out complete-
ly when cleaning. Plug it back in securely after
cleaning to prevent any leaks.
To prevent any damage to the appliance
do not use harsh solvents, alkaline
cleaning agents, abrasive cleansers or
scouring agents of any kind when cleaning.
Do not immerse the motor unit or supply cord
in water.
