to assemble and use your juicer
preparing food
●Remove stones (plums, peaches, cherries etc).
●Remove tough skins (melons, pineapples, cucumbers,
potatoes etc).
●Soft-skinned and other foods just need washing (apples,
pears, carrots, radishes, lettuce, cabbage, parsley, spinach,
grapes, strawberries, celery etc).
●Citrus Fruit - Peel and remove the white pith, otherwise the
juice may taste bitter. For best results Kenwood citrus juicers
are recommended for citrus fruit.

hints
●Insert soft food slowly to get the most juice.
●Vitamins disappear - the sooner you drink your juice, the more vitamins
you'll get.
●If you need to store the juice for a few hours put it in the fridge. It will
keep better if you add a few drops of lemon juice.
●Don't drink more than three 230mls (8 fl.oz.) glasses of juice a day
unless you're used to it.
●Dilute juice for children with an equal amount of water.
●Juice from dark green (broccoli, spinach etc) or dark red (beetroot, red
cabbage etc) vegetables is extremely strong, so always dilute it.
●Fruit juice is high in Fructose (fruit sugar), so people with diabetes or low
blood sugar should avoid drinking too much.
●Don't mix fruit and vegetable juice together (apart from apple and carrot)
- it can cause painful wind or bloating.
