26675 JEX-450A IB 23/6/08 11:59 AM Page 14 Discolouration of the plastic may occur with strongly coloured fruit and vegetables. To help prevent this, wash parts immediately after use. If discolouration does occur the plastic parts can be soaked in bleach and water. Using 1 tablespoon of bleach to 1 litre of water, soak plastic parts for a maximum of 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Do not soak the filter basket in bleach. DO NOT IMMERSE THE MOTOR BASE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
26675 JEX-450A IB 23/6/08 11:59 AM Page 15 One tip is to wash all vegetables immediately after purchasing and store in the refrigerator. This way they are ready to juice at any time. Fresh juices should be consumed immediately. They lose nutrients as they sit. Certain fruits need to be peeled first before juicing. Examples of such fruits are pineapples, melons, mangoes, and papayas – any fruit with skin that you cannot eat.
26675 JEX-450A IB 23/6/08 11:59 AM Page 16 It is also possible to make a healthier, fresher version of your favourite cocktail with fresh juices. For a fresh mimosa, juice two peeled oranges and add about 30 ml to five champagne glasses. Carefully fill with champagne, sip, and enjoy. Or, juice a pineapple (skin removed) and half a peeled lime and place the juices in a blender with a banana, 120 ml of dark rum, and 1 cup of ice cubes. Blend for a delicious daiquiri.
