Setting Up The Press
•Before use the press should be washed with warm soapy water.
• After washing, rinse with fresh water, dry the spindle thread and lubricate the thread and the metal bearing on the pressure
block with food grade grease or Vaseline.
Fruit Preparation
• It is essential that fruit is prepared before pressing.
• Apples must be crushed to a fine pulp (not a puree) Food processors are not suitable.
• Grapes and other soft fruit must be gently crushed to break the skins.
Pressing
• Always supervise children when using the press.
• Place a suitable clean container under the outlet lip to collect the juice.
• Position the press cage centrally on the base plate.
• If using a filter bag, place inside the basket and fold the edges of the filter bag over the basket.
• Fill with crushed fruit, using your hand to press down firmly. Fill to within about 30mm of the rim.
• Fold the edges of the filter bag over the top of the fruit.
• Position the two half discs on top of the fruit, place the short spacing blocks across the disc halves and
the pressure block on top.
• Begin to screw the collar down by hand; as the pressure increases use the handle to turn the nut.
• When no more juice can be extracted, unscrew the collar, remove the wooden blocks and lift the cage
off the base. The compressed fruit can then be pushed out, or the bag straining bag removed.
• If you only have a small volume of fruit increase the travel of the press disc by putting extra spacing blocks across those
supplied.
Do not screw the press disc down too tightly and never extend the handle to increase pressure as this may
damage the press.
Cleaning and storage
• Clean the press with water, using a scrubbing brush to remove fruit between the wooden slats.
• Dry with a clean towel. Lightly lubricate the spindle with food grade grease or Vaseline.
• Store in a dry place.
Put chopped fruits inside the bucket
