warninG: Always ensure that the Juicer is switched off at the power outlet. Then remove

the plug from the power outlet before cleaning, disassembling and storing the appliance.

Do not immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid. Do not use water jet to clean

the motor base. Do not clean the motor base in the dishwasher.
The centre of the filter basket, the Smoothie Disc and feed chute contain small sharp blades

to process fruit and vegetables during the juicing function. Do not touch blades when hand-

ling the filter basket, the Smoothie Disc or feed chute.
attention: Abrasive and strong cleaner damage the surface of the plastic units and

could cause discolouration. Never clean the appliance or units with abrasive and strong

cleaner. For easier cleaning and to avoid discolouration: Clean as you go and avoid dried

on juice or pulp residue. Immediately after each use, rinse removable parts in hot water to

remove wet pulp. Otherwise discolouration of the plastic may occur with strongly coloured

fruit and vegetables. Allow parts to air dry.
Never use hard or sharp-edged subjects when using or cleaning the juicer or the stainless

steel micro mesh filter. Do not use force when using the appliance to avoid damages.

Always assemble the appliance completely before storing. The units are protected this way

and cannot get lost.
Ensure the Juicer is correctly disassembled. Refer to ´Disassembling your appliance`. Follow

these instructions to clean all surfaces of parts that come into contact with food during

normal use.
Filter bowl surround, juicer cover, stainless steel filter basket, pulp container, juice box

and Smoothie Disc are dishwasher safe (top shelf only, max. 60 °C.). Use a program to

be suited for glasses (low temperature). A program with high temperature might cause

discolouration and distortion of the plastic units. Plastic units might tarnish being frequently

cleaned in the dishwasher.
iMportant:

Do not clean the food pusher in the dishwasher.

iMportant: Soak the stainless steel filter basket or the Smoothie Disc in hot soapy water

for approximately 10 minutes immediately after juicing is completed. If pulp dehumidifies

on the filter basket it may clog the fine pores of the filter basket

or the Smoothie Disc thereby lessening the effectiveness of the

juicer.
Using the cleaning brush, hold the filter basket (picture A) or

Smoothie Disc under running water and brush from the inside

of the basket to the outer rim. Avoid touching the small sharp

blades in the centre of the filter basket or Smoothie Disc. After

cleaning the filter basket, hold it up towards a light to ensure the

fine mesh holes are not blocked. If the holes are blocked, soak

the filter basket in hot water with 10% lemon juice to loosen the

blocked holes. Alternatively, wash the filter basket or Smoothie

Disc in the dishwasher (max. 60 ° C.).
note: Alternatively you can soak the filter basket in hot water with dental prosthesis deter-

gent. Rinse thoroughly with clear water and the provided nylon brush.
iMportant: Do not soak the stainless steel filter basket in bleach. Always treat the filter

basket with care as it can be easily damaged.
