3 Turn the control knob to setting 1 (low speed) or 2 (normal speed) to switch on the
appliance (Fig. 12).
Note: For hard fruits/vegetables (e.g. apples, beetroots and carrots) we advise you to use speed 2 (normal
speed). For soft fruits (e.g. berries, kiwi, grapes, tomatoes, cucumber and melon) we advise you to use
speed 1 (low speed).
4 Put the pieces in the feeding tube and gently press them down towards the rotating filter
with the pusher (Fig. 13).
Do not exert too much pressure on the pusher, as this could affect the quality of the end result. It
could even cause the filter to come to a halt.
Never insert your fingers or an object into the feeding tube.
5 Align the groove of the pusher with the small protrusion on the inside of the feeding tube
and slide the pusher into the feeding tube (Fig. 13).
6 When you have processed all ingredients or when the integrated pulp container is full, switch
off the appliance and unplug it. Wait until the filter stops rotating.
7 To empty the integrated pulp container, remove the lid, the filter and the juice collector.
8 For maximum flavour and freshness, serve the juice immediately after preparation.
Note: If you want to store the juice in the refrigerator, make sure the lid is on the juice jug.
tips
Preparation
- To extract the maximum amount of juice, always press the pusher down slowly.
- Use fresh fruit and vegetables, as they contain more juice. Pineapples, beetroots, celery stalks,
apples, cucumbers, carrots, spinach, melons, tomatoes, oranges and grapes are particularly
suitable for processing in the juicer.
- The juicer is not suitable for processing very hard and/or fibrous or starchy fruits or vegetables
such as sugar cane.
- Leaves and leaf stalks of e.g. lettuce can also be processed in the juicer.
- Remove stones from cherries, plums, peaches, etc. You do not have to remove cores or
seeds from fruits like melons, apples and grapes.
- You do not have to remove thin peels or skins. Only remove thick peels that you would not eat,
e.g. those of oranges, pineapples, kiwis, melons and uncooked beetroots.
- When you prepare apple juice, take into consideration that the thickness of the apple juice
depends on the kind of apple you use. The juicier the apple, the thinner the juice. Choose a kind
of apple that produces the type of juice you prefer.
- If you want to process citrus fruits with the juicer, remove the peel as well as the white pith. The
white pith gives juice a bitter taste.
- Fruits that contain starch, such as bananas, papayas, avocados, figs and mangoes are not suitable
for processing in the juicer. Use a food processor, blender or hand blender to process these
fruits.
serving
- Drink the juice immediately after you have extracted it. If it is exposed to air for some time, the
juice loses its taste and nutritional value.
- If you want clear juice without a foam layer, put the lid with integrated foam separator on the
jug. If you want cloudy juice with a foam layer, remove the lid with integrated foam separator
from the jug.
- Apple juice turns brown very quickly. To slow down this process, add a few drops of lemon juice.
- When serving cold drinks, add a few ice cubes.
