To avoid danger to life from electric
shock:
• The mains voltage at the mains socket
must match that shown on the rating
plate on the device. Devices rated at
230 V can also be operated at 220 V.
• Do not operate the device if it has a
damaged mains lead or plug.
If the connection lead or device does
not work perfectly or is damaged, ha-
ve it examined and repaired immedia-
tely at the service centre.
• Do not place the device out in the
rain.
Do not use it in a damp or wet envi-
ronment. Make sure that the mains
lead never gets wet during operation.
Avoiding the dangers of fire and injury:
• Never allow the device to operate
unattended.
•Caution! Keep children away from the
mains lead and the device. Children
often underestimate the dangers as-
sociated with electrical equipment.
• Make sure that the device has a firm
support.
Ensure that the mains plug can be ea-
sily reached and that the mains lead
cannot become a trip hazard.
• To avoid injury make sure that the fil-
ter/sieve and the fruit flesh dish are
correctly installed.
• Before you switch on the device,
check that the lid is correctly closed by
the clamp levers. The clamp levers are
not to be released whilst the device is
operating.
• When you work with the juice extrac-
tor, never insert your hands or other
objects into the opening, as this could
lead to serious injury or damage to
the juice press. Use the filling aid
supplied to remove any pieces of fruit
stuck in the extractor. If any pieces of
fruit cannot be removed by the filling
aid, switch off the device and pull out
the plug. Then you may open the
device.
•Danger of injury! The cutter mecha-
nism is very sharp. Be careful - treat it
with respect.
• Do not touch any moving parts.
• After use, switch the device off and
pull the plug out of the mains socket.
The device must only be opened up
after the motor has reached a stand-
still.
• Never use the device:
• if the filter / sieve, mains lead or
mains plug is damaged,
• if the device is not working properly,
• or if it is damaged in any other way or
has been dropped.
Take the device for inspection or re-
pair to the service centre.
• The use of accessories not recommen-
ded nor sold by the manufacturer of
the juice extractor can lead to fire,
electrical short circuit or injury.

This is how to use the device safely:
• If danger arises, pull the mains plug
immediately out of the mains socket.
• Never use the device for a purpose for
which it was not intended.
• Remain alert at all times! Always
watch what you are doing and pro-
ceed with caution. Do not use the de-
vice if you cannot concentrate or you
are feeling unwell.
• Before you operate the juice extractor
make sure that the juice extractor has
been fully and properly put together.
The juice extractor must only be ope-
rated after the filter/sieve, fruit juice
or fruit flesh container has been cor-
rectly installed and the clamp levers
and the lid are closed.
• After using the juice press make sure
that the On/off switch is in the Off
position ("0"). The motor must have
come to a complete standstill before
the device is opened.
• If you are not using the device, if you
intend to remove any parts or before
cleaning – remove the mains plug and
lead from the device.
• Do not use the device outside.
Assembly and use of the device
• Choose a suitable place for your juice
extractor. To operate the device effi-
ciently and safely we recommend that
it is positioned so that the lead runs
back from the guide at the rear to-
wards the mains socket.
All controls and components are sim-
ple and easy to use.
- At the front there is the On/Off
switch 햷, - swivelling container 햸
with the integrated container 햹e.g.
for fruit flesh
- and on the right there is the fruit
juice outlet for the supplied separa-
te container 햺or a glass.
Warning: Check that the device is
switched off and the mains plug is
out of the socket before assembling
the device.
1. Place the opening of the fruit flesh
tray 햻on the driveshaft 햾. Position
the tray such that it sits firmly in the
recess on the base unit.
2. Place the filter/sieve 햽on the drive-
shaft 햾. Make sure this is seated firm-
ly before you continue assembly.
3. Place the top cover 햵on to the fruit
flesh tray 햻, so that the bottom of
the feed chute sits inside the filter/
sieve 햽.
4. Make sure the top cover sits firmly in
the fruit flesh tray recess. Lift the
interlock levers 햶and press them into
the notches in the top cover.
5. Press the bottom part of the interlock
levers against the sides of the device
until they engage.

6. Hang the swivelling fruit juice contai-
ner 햸– first in the upper hinge then
in the lower one as it has enough play
to engage with light pressure.
7. Place the container 햹so that there,
for example, fruit flesh can be captu-
red. Close the fruit juice container 햸
and ensure that it snaps in.
8. Place the separate fruit juice contai-
ner 햺or a glass under the fruit juice
outlet. The fruit juice container 햺has
a froth catcher to provide clear and
froth-free fruit juice.
9. Insert the plug into the mains socket.
Preparation of the fruit / vegetables
•Important: Only use well-ripened fruit
as otherwise the filter can become
overloaded. If this happens, clean the
filter again.
• Wash or peel the fruit or vegetables
that you wish to process. Large pips or
stones should always be removed
from the fruit before juicing.
• Fruit with cores (such as apples, pears)
can be juiced with the skin and core.
• For fruit (cherries, plums etc.), remove
all large pips (melons etc.) and stones
to avoid damaging the device.
• Thick-skinned fruit (e.g. citrus fruit,
melons, kiwis) and root vegetables
must always be peeled first.
• For grapes, the main stems must be
cut off.
• Cut the fruit or vegetables into the si-
ze of pieces that can fit into the feed
chute.
Note: Currants and rhubarb are not
suitable for making juice.
Extracting juice
1. Hold the feeding rod 햲with one
hand and insert the fruit or vegetable
pieces into the filler opening with the
other. Always use the feeding rod 햲
to press the fruit/vegetables carefully
into the opening (refer to Figs. and
). Insert further pieces as the fruit or
vegetables are processed. Do not
switch off the device whilst this is
being done.
Tip: The lid 햴is designed so that it
can also be used as a convenient sto-
rage tray. Turn the lid the other way
up on the filler opening assembly 햳
(refer to Fig. ).
Warning: Never insert your finger or
other objects into the feed opening
whilst the device is operating. This
could lead to serious injury and / or
damage to the juice press.
Note: To avoid fruit getting stuck in
the feed opening, only insert the
fruit when the device is switched on.
If you have large quantities to pro-
cess, when the juice container is full,
pour the extracted juice into a larger
container.
If pieces of fruit become stuck in the
feed opening and cannot be immedi-
ately dislodged with the feeding rod
then you should follow this procedure
so as not to damage the juice extrac-
tor:

• Switch the device off immediately and
take out the plug.
• Release the interlock levers 햶and ta-
ke out the fruit flesh tray 햻.
• Remove the stuck pieces of fruit.
• Reassemble the device again and con-
tinue extracting the juice.
2. Always switch off the device as soon
as you have processed all your fruit.
3. For some types of fruits/vegetables
that contain a lot of liquid, such as to-
matoes, grapes, or melons, set the
On/Off switch 햷to speed setting 1.
For drier fruit/vegetables (e.g. carrots,
peas and apples) speed setting 2 is to
be used.
Emptying the fruit container and
filter
You can continue to extract juice until
the fruit flesh container 햹is full.
1. When processing fruit or vegetables
that have a high liquid content (e.g.
tomatoes, grapes, melons):
Do not process more than 3 kg of fru-
it or vegetables before emptying the
fruit flesh container.
2. When processing fruit or vegetables
with low liquid content (e.g. carrots,
apples): empty the fruit flesh contai-
ner 햹as soon as it appears full.
If the fruit juice suddenly becomes much
thicker or if you can hear that the the
motor is starting to turn slowly, then the
filter 햽needs to be cleaned. After you
have taken out the fruit flesh re-assem-
ble the device.
Warning: Check that the mains plug
has been removed if the juice extrac-
tor is not being used.
Cleaning
• Always pull out the mains plug before
fitting or removing accessories, or be-
fore you clean the device.
• Spattered or overflowing fruit juice
must be cleaned up immediately as it
is much more difficult to remove later.
Clean the base unit and the mains le-
ad using only a slightly damp cloth.
• Clean the feeding rod, sieve/filter and
fruit juice container in warm soapy
water and rinse carefully.
• To remove the fruit pulp from the fil-
ter, hold the filter (with its underside
upwards) under running water and
clean it with a soft nylon brush.
Warning: In order to avoid electric
shock never immerse the motor in
water or any other liquid.
Note: Do not use aggressive cleaning
agents for cleaning the fruit extrac-
tor. Do not clean the device or its
components in the dishwasher or in
boiling water.
Colour staining:
•Some fruits or vegetables can colour
the white parts of the juice extractor.
To remove these stains soak the stai-
ned parts in a solution of one cup of
household bleach to one cup of wa-
ter. Then clean the parts with was-
hing-up liquid and rinse with clean
water.
