Preparing fruits and vegetables
• Alwayswashfruitsandvegetables
thoroughly before juicing.
• Itisnotnecessarytoremovesmall
seeds, pits or thin peels before
using the appliance.
• Cutthefruitintosmallpieces
so that they can get through the
hopper.
• Fruitswiththickpeelssuch
as oranges and lemons must
bepeeledbeforejuicing.Itis
particularly important to remove all
the peel (including the pith), as even
small amounts of peel can impart
an unpleasant taste to the juice.
• Itisalsonecessarytoremovelarge
stones such as plum and apricot
stones before juicing to avoid
damaging the appliance.
Juicing
1. Switchontheapplianceby
switchingtheon/offbuttonto“ON”.
2. Feed the selected fruit and/or
vegetables into the appliance
through the hopper a little at a
time, pushing them down using the
tamper.
3. Makesurethatyouturnthetamper
so that the groove in the tamper fits
into the hopper properly.
4. Longvegetablessuchascarrots
should be fed into the hopper
pointy end first.
5. Press the fruits and/or vegetables
gently with the hopper. Too much
presser reduces the amount of juice
extracted and can damage the
appliance.
6. Stoptheappliancebeforeremoving
the tamper to add more fruit/
vegetables in order to avoid
splashes.
7. The juice runs out through the
round spout, while the fruit pulp
comes out through the flat spout.

TIP
• Onlyusefreshfruitsand
vegetables.
• Goodcandidatesforjuicinginclude
pineapple, apples, cucumbers,
celery, carrots, spinach, melons,
tomatoes and most citrus fruits.
• Thevariousvarietiesofapple
yield juice with different flavours
andconsistency.Experimentwith
different combinations to find your
own favourite.
• Leafygreenvegetablessuchas
cabbage and spinach can also be
juiced.Rolltheleavesintocylinders
ofanappropriatesizebefore
feeding them into the hopper.
• Fruitssuchasbananas,mangoes,
papayas and avocadoes are not
suitable for juicing, as the result is
often mashed fruit instead of juice.
