Getting Started
Before first use
• Unpack the appliance but keep all packaging materials until you have made
sure your new juice extractor is undamaged and in good working order.
Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children,
so ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach.
• Fully unwind the cord and inspect it for damage. Do not use the appliance if
anything has been damaged. In such a case, contact our after sales support
line for advice on examination, repair or return of the damaged product.
• Read this manual to familiarise yourself with all the parts. Pay particular
attention to the safety instructions on the previous pages.
• Make sure the appliance is disconnected from the power supply.
• Holding the rim of the filter with you fingers, lift the stainless steel filter out of
the juice collector. Then lift the plastic juice collector off the motor unit.
• Wash all detachable parts with a soft cloth or sponge in warm water and a
little washing-up detergent to remove any dust or other remnants from the
manufacturing process. CAUTION! Take care to avoid injury from the sharp
blades at the bottom of the filter.
• Rinse the parts with clean water and dry.
• When all parts are thoroughly dry, assemble the unit as follows.
Assembly
• Place the juice collector onto the top of the motor base — see Fig. 1 below.
• Tilt the motor unit slightly to attach the pulp container to the appliance, fitting
the top end underneath the pulp spout first, then lining up the bottom end —
see Fig. 2 below.

Getting Started (Cont.)
• Place the juice jug under the spout — see Fig. 5 below.

• Place the filter back into the juice collector, making sure it sits securely in
place over the drive shaft — see Fig. 3 below. (You should be able to move it
around but not lift it out easily.)
• Place the lid with feeding chute on top of the appliance — see Fig. 3 below.
• Snap the safety clamp onto the lid to lock it into place — see (A) in Fig. 4 below.
• Slide the pusher into the feeding chute by aligning the groove in the pusher
with the small protrusion on the inside of the feeding chute — see (B) in Fig. 4
below. Make sure the safety clamps are securely locked on either side of the lid.

Instructions
Using the juice extractor
• Wash the fruit and/or vegetables you want to juice and cut them into pieces
that fit into the feeding chute. (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 LO (low
speed) or HI (normal speed) — see Fig. 7 below, and page 13 for a juicing guide.
* Speed LO is particularly suitable for soft fruit and vegetables: watermelons,
grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers, raspberries and those with high water content.
* Speed HI is suitable for hard and fibrous fruit and vegetables.
• Put the pre-cut pieces into the feeding chute — see Fig. 8 below.
• Use the pusher to gently press the fruit pieces down towards the rotating filter
— see Fig. 9 below.
NOTE: Do not exert too much pressure on the pusher, as this could affect the
juice quality and it could even cause the filter to come to a halt.
CAUTION! The appliance will only function if all parts are properly assembled
and the lid is securely locked in place with the clamp.

• After you have processed all ingredients and the juice flow has stopped,
switch the appliance off and wait until the filter has stopped rotating.
• If the pulp container needs emptying, switch off the appliance, carefully
remove the container, empty it and then reassemble it before continuing.
12
Instructions (Cont.)
Tips for best results
• Whenever possible, use fresh fruit and vegetables, as they contain more
juice than produce that has been kept in the fruit bowl or fridge for some
time.
• The following fruit and vegetables are particularly suitable for juicing in
the juice extractor: pineapple, beetroot, celery stalks, apples, cucumbers,
carrots, spinach, melons, tomatoes, oranges, grapes.
• You do not have to remove thin peels or skins. Only thick peels need to be
removed, such as orange peel, pineapple skin and the skin of uncooked
beetroot.
• Pit all fruits with hard seeds or stones such as peaches, nectarines, cherries.
• When preparing apple juice, remember that the thickness of the apple juice
depends on the type of apple you are using. The juicier the apple, the thinner
the juice. Choose a type of apple that produces the type of juice you prefer.
• Apple juice turns brown very quickly. You can slow down this process by
adding a few drops of lemon juice.
• Fruits that contain starch, such as papayas, avocados, figs and mangoes,
are not suitable for processing in the juice extractor. Use a food processor or
blender to process these fruits.
• Leaves and leaf stalks of lettuce and similar leaf vegetables can also be
processed in the juice extractor.
• Drink the juice immediately after extracting it. If it is exposed to air for some
time, the juice will lose its taste and nutritional value. It may also change its
colour and texture/consistency.
• To extract the maximum amount of juice, always press the pusher down
slowly.
• The juicer is not suitable for processing very hard and/or fibrous/starchy fruit
or vegetables such as sugar cane.
CAUTION! Never insert your fingers or an object into the feeding chute.

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 juicer off, clean the feeding chute
and the filter and process a smaller quantity.
The filter touches the feeding
chute 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.
Responsible disposal
At the end of its working life, do not throw this appliance out with your household
rubbish. Electrical and electronic products contain substances that can have
a detrimental effect on the environment and human health if disposed of
inappropriately. Observe any local regulations regarding the disposal of electrical
consumer goods and dispose of it appropriately for recycling. Contact your local
authorities for advice on recycling facilities in your area.
