PREPARING FOR USE
1. Wash all detachable parts (see chapter on ‘Cleaning’).
2. Pull the electric cord out of the cord storage compartment at the back of the appliance. Place
the juice collector into the appliance. Place the pulp container by tilting it forwards slightly.
Insert the top end of the pulp container first and then push the bottom end.
3. Do not empty the pulp container while you are juicing. Switch off the appliance and carefully
remove the pulp container.
Note: Reassemble the empty pulp container before you continue juicing.
1. Put the filter in the juice collector. Hold the lid over the filter and lower it into position

5
2. Make sure the filter and juice collector are fit securely onto the drive shaft (‘click’)
3. Snap the clamp onto both sides of the lid to lock it into place (‘clicks’). Align the groove in the
pusher with the small protrusion on the inside of the feeding tube and slide the pusher into the
feed
4. Place the lid on the juice jug to avoid splattering or if you want to store juice in the refrigerator.
5. Place the juice jug under the spout
USING THE APPLIANCE
The appliance will only function if all parts have been properly assembled and the lid has been
properly locked in place with the clamps (See Fig. B).
1. Wash the fruit and/or vegetables and cut them into pieces that fit into the feeding tube.
2. Make sure the juice jug has been placed under the spout.
3. Turn the switch to speed setting low speed or high speed to switch on the appliance.
•Speed low is especially suitable for soft fruits and vegetables such as watermelons,
grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers and raspberries.
•Speed high is suitable for all kinds of fruits and vegetables.
4. Put the pre-cut pieces in the feeding tube and gently press them down towards the rotating
filter with the pusher.
5. Do not exert too much pressure on the pusher, as this could affect the quality of the end result
and it could even cause the filter to come to a halt.
6. Never insert your fingers or other object into the feeding tube. Only use the pusher for this
purpose.
7. After you have processed all ingredients and the juice flow has stopped, switch off the
appliance and wait until the filter has stopped rotating.
TIPS
Use fresh fruit and vegetables, as they contain more juice. Pineapples, beetroots, celery stalks,
apples, cucumbers, carrots, spinach, melons, tomatoes, pomegranates, oranges and grapes are
particularly suitable for processing in the juice extractor.
1. You do not have to remove thin peels or skins. Only thick peels, e.g. those of oranges,
pineapples and uncooked beetroots need to be removed. Also remove any pits/seeds of fruit
because they have a bitter taste and may damage the filter/grating disc.
2. When preparing apple juice, remember that the thickness of the apple juice depends on the
kind of apple you are using. The juicier the apple, the thinner the juice. Choose a kind of apple
that produces the type of juice you prefer. Apple juice turns brown very quickly. To slow down
this process, add a few drops of lemon juice.
3. Fruits that contain starch, such as bananas, papayas, avocados, figs and mangoes are not
suitable for processing in the juice extractor. Use a food processor, blender or bar blender to
process these fruits.
4. Leaves and leaf stalks (e.g. lettuce) can also be processed in the juice extractor.
5. Drink the juice immediately after you have extracted it. If it is exposed to air for some time, the
juice will lose its taste and nutritional value.
6. To extract the maximum amount of juice, always press the pusher down slowly.
7. The juicer is not suitable for processing very hard and/or fibrous/starchy fruits or vegetables
such as sugar cane.
CLEANING
Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as alcohol,
petrol or acetone to clean the appliance.
The appliance is easier to clean if you do so immediately after use.
1. Switch off the appliance. Remove the plug from the wall socket and wait until the filter has
stopped rotating.
2. Remove the dirty parts from the motor unit. Disassemble the appliance in the following order:
a. Remove the pulp container;
b. Remove the pusher;

6
c. Open the clamp;
d. Remove the lid.
3. Remove the juice collector together with the filter.
4. Clean these parts with a cleaning brush in warm water with some liquid detergent and rinse
them under the tap.
Note: All detachable parts are dishwasher-safe. Place the detachable plastic parts on the top
tray of the dishwasher. Make sure they are placed well away from the heating element.
5. Clean the motor unit with a damp cloth.
6. Never immerse the motor unit in water or rinse it under the tap.
TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter summarizes the most common problems you may encounter with your juice extractor.
Please read the different sections for more details.
PROBLEM
(1) The appliance does not work.
(2) The motor unit gives off an unpleasant smell the first few times the appliance is used.
(3) The filter is blocked.
(4) The filter touches the feeding tube or vibrates strongly during processing.
SOLUTION
(1) The appliance is equipped with a safety system. It will not work if the parts have not been
assembled properly. Switch off the appliance and check whether the parts have been assembled in
the right way (See Fig. B).
(2) This is not unusual. If the appliance continues to off this smell after a few times, check the
quantities you are processing and the processing time.
(3) Switch off the appliance, clean the feeding tube and the filter and process a smaller quantity.
(4) Switch off the appliance and unplug it. Check if the filter has been properly placed in the juicer
collector. The ribs in the bottom of the filter should fit properly onto the drive shaft. Check if the filter
is damaged. Cracks or a loose grating disc or any other irregularity may cause malfunction.
