for fruit pulp and vegetable mash (see fig. A).
8) Push the juice container under the juice outlet (see fig. A).
Preparing the fruits/vegetables
■Important: Use only well-ripened fruit, as otherwise the sieve could
become blocked. This would require repeated cleaning of the sieve .
■ Wash or peel the fruits/vegetables that you wish to process.
■ Large seeds or stones should always be removed before filling the appliance.
■ Cored fruit (such as apples, pears) can be processed along with the skin

must always be peeled first.
■ Remove the stalks from grapes.
■ Cut the fruit or vegetables into pieces that are suitably sized to fit into the
feed tube .
NOTE
► Raisins are not suitable for juicing as they do not contain enough juice.
Rhubarb or other fibrous vegetables/fruit are not suitable for juicing as the
fibres will block the slow juicer.

■ 12 │ GB│IE SSJ 150 A1
Juicing
WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!
► Never insert your fingers or other objects into the feed tube while the
appliance is operating. This could lead to serious injuries and/or damage
to the slow juicer.

out a break. After 15 minutes of continuous use, allow the slow juicer to
cool down. Otherwise the appliance could be damaged.
► Never operate the slow juicer unless there is fruit/vegetables in the feed
tube . Do not start the slow juicer until you have added fruit/vegetables
to the feed tube .
1) Insert the plug of the power cable into the mains socket.
NOTE
► If you want to move the on/off switch from the “I” position into the “R”
position or back again, always start by moving the on/off switch into
the “O” position (off) and wait until the motor has stopped.
2) Place the fruit/vegetable pieces into the feed tube .
3) Place the on/off switch of the appliance into the “I” position. The appli-
