grapes, tomatoes and cucumbers.
- Speed 2 is suitable for all other kinds of fruit and vegetables such as apples,
carrots and beetroots.
Notes

lid and the juice collector.Then carefully remove the pulp container and empty it.
- After you have processed all ingredients and the juice ow has stopped, pour the
juice from the jug into the glass.
Empty the pulp container
Note:When the pulp container has reached its maximum capacity, pulp ends up in the
juice collector, lid and in the juice.
If the pulp container becomes overlled, the appliance may become blocked.When
this occurs, switch off the appliance and remove the pulp from the pulp container. Let
the appliance cool down for 15 minutes and press the overload protection button on
the bottom of the motor unit to reset (?).
Note:The pulp window helps you to see when the pulp container is full and needs to be
emptied. Because the pulp window may become blocked before the maximum capacity of the
container has been reached, also check the level indication on the juice jug.The pulp window is
more likely to become blocked when you juice hard ingredients, such as carrots or beetroots.
