INSTRUCTIONS
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
The Juice Extractor has a short cord to reduce the
hazards of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord.An extension cord may be used if the rating is equal
to or greater than the rating of the Juice Extractor. Use an
extension cord rated 13 amperes or greater.Care must be
taken to arrange extension cord so that it will not drape
over countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
Operating the Juice Extractor and another appliance at
the same time from the same electrical circuit could cause
an electrical overload condition, which would blow the
fuse or trip the circuit breaker.
SPECIAL POLARIZED PLUG
INSTRUCTIONS
This Philips Juice Extractor has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other).To reduce the risk of electric
shock:
• Plug will fit into polarized outlet only one way.
• If plug does not properly fit outlet at first,reverse it.
• If plug still does not fit,contact a qualified electrician.

OIngredients andTips
• Use fresh fruit and vegetables as they contain more juice.
Pineapples, beet roots, celery stalks, apples, cucumbers, carrots,
spinach, melons, tomatoes, oranges and grapes are particularly
suitable for processing in the Juice Extractor.
• You don’t have to remove thin peels or skins. Only thick peels,
e.g. those of oranges, pineapples and uncooked beet roots need to
be removed before processing. Peel any waxed fruit or vegetable.
Also remove the white pith of citrus fruits because it has a
bitter taste.Trim away any bruised or discolored parts.
• When preparing apple juice, remember that the thickness of the
apple juice depends on the kind of apple you are using.Some kinds
of apples are more juicy, while others produce a thicker juice.
Choose a kind 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 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.
• Leaves and leaf stalks of lettuce can also be processed in the
Juice Extractor. Leafy greens or sprouts should be rolled into tight,
compact balls before putting in chute.
• Drink the juice immediately after you have extracted it. If it is
exposed to air for some time, the juice will lose some of its taste
and nutritional value.
• Remove large hard pits, seeds and stones from fruits (cherries,
peaches. pears, etc.) or vegetables before processing.
