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.
1. Place a jug or a suitable large cup or drinking glass under the spout.
2. Cut the fruit in half, using a sharp knife. It is good advice to cut the fruit at right angles to
the filets.
WARNING: Do not touch the juice cone with your hands or grasp in the filter basket while
the appliance is connected to the power supply.
3. Plug the power connector into a 220/240V AC wall power outlet.
4. With the cut facing down place a half of your fruit on the juice cone and gently press down.
The juice cone starts rotating and begins the juicing process. For best results, adjust the hold
on the fruit to ensure, that all parts of the fruit flesh are squeezed and push the juice cone
gently and slowly down without violation.
CAUTION: Do not put excessive pressure on the juice cone. Otherwise the motor starts
getting 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. Do not allow the juice container to overfill.
To increase the stability of the jug or cup and to keep your table or counter clean and dry,
you may use suitable coaster.
To prevent dripping and spilling of juice, it is possible to seal the spout during juicing and
collect the juice in the juice container. The juice container has a capa city of max. 200 ml
(1 drinking glass or 1 medium-sized cup).
CAUTION: Do not to overfill the juice container.
