Operating the Citrus juicer
Important: During operation, pulp builds up in the filter basket. Do not allow the filter basket
or juice container to overfill. Otherwise, the juice will not be sufficiently separated from the pulp.
If you process a large amount of fruit, regularly interrupt juicing and unplug the appliance to let
the motor cool down and to empty the filter basket. Ensure, that the spout will not block during
operation. Do not leave any food dry on the appliance or any parts of the appliance.
wArnInG:
Before connecting to the power supply, always ensure, that the appliance is
assembled properly and that there are no utensils in the filter basket. Do not insert your hands,
cooking utensils or any other objects (i.e. hair, clothes, brushes, tissue) in the filter basket, when
the appliance is connected to the power supply. Do not place the appliance on wet or damp
surfaces. Always keep the table or counter dry and clean. Do not drip or spill any liquids on the
motor base or power cord. Do not place any tissue or similar materials under the motor base
to avoid fire and electric shock. When liquids are spilled over or under the motor base than
immediately unplug the appliance and dry the motor base and the table or counter.

the fruit to ensure, that all parts of the fruit flesh are squeezed and push the juice cone gently
and slowly down without violation.

louder and the speed of the motor decreases during operation. In addition, the white bitter skins
of the fruit will be scraped from the shell. Ensure that the spout is not blocked during operation.
