7. Put the lid on top of the colander, making sure it fits securely in place.
If it does not, you may need to remove any excess fruit.
8. After correctly assembling your juicer, turn on the burner unit to the
High position. Be sure to always use heat protective gloves or
mitts while working with your juicer. The steam is very hot and
will burn you.
9. Once the water has come to a rapid boil, begin turning down your
burner temperature until the water remains at a consistent rolling
boil, that is not too vigorous. Depending on your stove, this will be
anywhere between medium-high to high heat.
10. Do not let the stock pot boil dry. Check the water level often
and add more water as needed. Do not leave your steam juicer
unattended while it is in use.
11. You will need a saucepot ready for the juice
to drain into. Place it slightly below the juicer
so the juice hose hangs down into the pot by
3-4 inches. (See diagram at right). It takes
approximately 1 hour before there is enough
juice in the juice kettle to drain.
12. It will take approximately 2-3 hours for one
batch of fruit to go through the entire juicing
process. However, times may vary depending
upon your burner temperature, altitude and
the type of fruit you use. Stirring the fruit is not recommended as that
will result in cloudy juice. For a clean, clear-looking juice it is best to
leave the fruit untouched during the juicing process.
13. You can check for juice one of two ways:
First, carefully squeeze open the hose clamp
and juice will automatically begin draining
into the saucepot if there is enough. Second,
lift the juice hose straight up by holding
onto the clamp. Do not touch the hose as
it will be very hot. If you do not see any
juice in the hose, then there is not enough
juice in your juice kettle to be measured,
using this method. (See diagram at right).
