Using the juice extractor
• Wash the fruit and/or vegetables you want to juice and cut them into pieces that fit into the
feeding tube. (See page 12 for hints.)
• Place the fully assembled juice extractor on a flat, stable work surface, plug it into an appropriate
power point and switch on power to the outlet.
• Make sure the juice jug has been placed under the spout.
• Switch the appliance on by turning the control knob to speed setting 1 (low speed) or 2 (normal
speed) — see Fig. 6 below.
• Speed 1 is particularly suitable for soft fruit and vegetables such as watermelons, grapes,
tomatoes, cucumbers and raspberries.

CAUTION! The appliance will only function if all parts are properly assembled and the lid is securely
locked in place with the clamp.

towards the rotating filter — see Fig. 7 above.

and wait until the filter has stopped rotating.
• If the pulp container needs emptying while juicing, switch off the appliance, carefully remove the
container, empty it and then reassemble it before you continue juicing.

Troubleshooting guide
This chapter summarises the most common problems you could encounter with your juice extractor.
Please read the different sections for more details.
If you are unable to solve the problem, please contact our after sales support line for advice on
examination or repair.
Problem Solution
The appliance does not work. The appliance is equipped with a safety system. It will not
work if the parts have not been assembled properly. Check
whether the parts have been assembled correctly, but
switch off the appliance before you do so.
The motor unit gives off an
unpleasant smell the first few times
the appliance is used.
This is not unusual. If the appliance continues to give off
this smell after a few times, check (and possibly reduce)
the quantities you are processing and the processing time.
The appliance makes a lot of noise,
gives off an unpleasant smell, is too
hot to touch, gives of smoke etc.
Switch the appliance off and unplug it. Contact our after
sales support line for assistance.
The filter is blocked. Switch the appliance off, clean the feeding tube and the
filter and process a smaller quantity.
The filter touches the feeding tube or
vibrates strongly during processing.
Switch the appliance off and unplug it. Check if the filter
has been properly placed in the juice collector. The ribs in
the bottom of the filter should fit properly onto the driving
shaft. Check if the filter is damaged. Cracks, a loose grating
disc or any other irregularity may cause malfunction.
In such a case, contact our after sales support line for
assistance.
