BEFORE FIRST USE
The Whole Fruit Juicer comes almost completely assembled in the box.
1. Your Whole Fruit Juicer may be shipped with a protective cardboard insert between the clear cover and the blade basket. Remove this and any other protective packaging before using your Juicer.
2. Following the Disassembly Instructions, remove the food pusher from the feed tube, then the cover, juice bowl with stainless steel blade unit.
3. Wash all removable parts (food pusher, clear cover, juice bowl, blade unit, pulp basket, and juice collection jug with lid) in warm water with a mild detergent. Rinse well and air-dry. This will eliminate any traces of dust or residue from manufacturing or shipping.
CAUTION: Use care when handling the blade unit. Hold the lter by the plastic rim only. DO NOT TOUCH the cutter blades. The cutter blades are very sharp!
CAUTION: Never rinse or immerse the Motor Base in water or any other liquid.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE WHOLE FRUIT JUICER IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE STARTING ASSEMBLY.
IMPORTANT: The Juicer is equipped with a safety system that prevents the Juicer from
being turned ON unless the unit is completely and properly assembled.
1. Rotate the locking clamp so that it sits at the front of the base. (See Figure 1.)
2. Place the juice bowl on top of the motor base so that the juice spout ts into the cut out at the front of the base. (See Figure 2.)
CAUTION: Use care when handling the stainless steel blade unit. Hold the lters
rim only. DO NOT TOUCH the cutter blades. The cutter blades are very sharp!
3. Set the stainless steel lter onto the motor hub in the centre of the juice bowl. (See Figure 2.) Press down on the outer rim of the stainless steel lter until it drops into place and is securely seated. Gently rotate the lter to ensure that it turns freely. If initially it fails to seat, this should slip it into place. Double check by pressing down on the rim and spinning it again.
4. Align the cover so that the pulp spout cover ts over the back of the base. Fit the tab of the cover into the slot on the top of the juice bowl. (See Figure 3.)
5. Turn the food pusher so that the groove in the side lines up with the tab in the feed tube. Insert the food pusher into the feed tube. (See Figure 4.) Store the food pusher in the feed tube of the lid until the produce is ready to juice.

6. Push the locking clamp up and over the lid. Hold the clamp rmly and push until the two black clamp locks rest in the 2 locking slots on the top of the lid. Make sure the lid is clamped securely into place. (See Figure 5.)
7. Add the pulp basket. (See Figure 6.) Tilt the pulp basket slightly so that the lip of the juice bowl ts snugly over the inside of the pulp basket. Push the bottom of the pulp basket so that it rests securely on its platform.
IMPORTANT: To avoid spillage, make sure the pulp basket sits ush up against
the base.
NOTE: To save cleaning time, line the pulp basket with biodegradable composting
bag, this can then be added directly onto the compost.
8. Add the froth separator lid onto the collection jug so that the lid’s cut out ts over the jug’s pouring spout. Tilt the jug slightly so that the appliances juice spout ts into the top of the jug’s lid. (See Figure 6.) This will prevent juice spillage.
PREPARING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FOR YOUR WHOLE FRUIT JUICER
Clean all produce thoroughly, using a natural bristle brush.
Remove and discard the outer leaves of non-organic produce and peel any waxed fruit or vegetable.
Trim away any discolored or bruised sections.
The skin may be left on all produce (including pineapple and melons) except oranges, grapefruit, and tangerines. The oil found in these skins tastes bitter and is difcult to digest.
Remove melon seeds when possible, as they may escape through the top of the feed tube while juicing. The stones of fruits such as cherries, pears, and peaches should also be removed.
Cut produce into pieces small enough to t into the feed tube. Use the food pusher to gently direct produce through the tube. NEVER PUSH PRODUCE INTO THE FEED TUBE WITH YOUR FINGERS.
It may be necessary to cut hard produce (carrots, beets, pineapple, etc.) into smaller pieces to facilitate juicing.
Leafy greens, parsley, wheat grass, and sprouts should be bunched up into a small, tight ball and pushed through with either a carrot or the food pusher.
Bananas are not suitable for juicing; a clear juice cannot be obtained from them and residue left in the machine can clog the micro-mesh screen.
For best results when juicing apricots, plums, pears, peaches, and tomatoes, produce should be rm.

When juicing apples, add a small amount of fresh lemon or lime to help slow down the browning process.
Fruits that contain starch, such as bananas, papayas, avocados, gs and mangoes are not suitable for the Whole Fruit Juicer. Use a food processor, blender or hand blender to process these fruits.
The Juicer is not suitable for processing very hard and/or brous/starchy fruits or vegetables such as sugar cane.
HOW TO USE THE BELLA WHOLE FRUIT JUICER
Dual Speed Control
Your Whole Fruit Juicer offers 2 speed options that ensure optimal rpm to provide maximum juice extraction.
HIGH: Turn the HIGH/OFF/LOW dial to HIGH. Use for harder produce, such as carrots, beets, and pineapple (with rind). Also recommended for leafy or stringy produce such as celery and greens.
OFF: Turn the HIGH/OFF/LOW dial to OFF to stop operation.
LOW: Turn the HIGH/OFF/LOW dial to LOW.
Use for softer produce such as citrus, apples, grapes (with stems), melons, peaches (remove the stone), and tomatoes. LOW is recommended for ripe produce that has become soft.
IMPORTANT: The Juicer is equipped with a safety system that prevents the appliance from being turned ON unless the unit is completely and properly assembled.
1. Assemble the Whole Fruit Juicer following the Assembly Instructions described in this manual.
2. Have all fruits and vegetables prepared for juicing.
3. Plug the unit into a 220-240V electrical outlet.
4. Remove the food pusher from the feed tube.
5. Place produce into the feed tube. Use the food pusher to gently direct the produce through the feed tube and lter and blade unit.
6. Turn the HIGH/OFF/LOW dial to HIGH to juice harder produce.
7. Turn the HIGH/OFF/LOW dial to LOW to juice softer produce.
NOTE: When juicing a combination of hard and soft produce, such as beets, carrots
and apples, you will want to use HIGH for beets and carrots and LOW for the apples. You do not have to turn the machine OFF to change speeds. Simply turn the dial to change to the appropriate speed for each type of produce being juiced.
Tip: To ensure the maximum efciency, alternate types of produce.
8. Do not operate the Whole Fruit Juicer for longer than 40 seconds at a time when juicing heavy loads; if necessary, allow the Juicer to cool down for 2 minutes afterwards.
9. When juicing is completed, turn the HIGH/OFF/LOW dial to OFF.
10. Slide the jug out from the juice spout. Serve juice immediately for the freshest avor and highest nutritional value.
11. Remove the pulp basket and save or discard pulp.
NOTE: The pulp from your Juicer can be used in many different applications such as
breads, mufns, cakes, soup stocks and garden compost material.
12. Unplug the Juicer from the power socket after use.
13. Follow Disassembly Instructions described in this manual; all removable parts should be rinsed and cleaned after each use. Clean the Juicer following the procedures described in the Care & Cleaning Instructions.

2. Lift the locking clamp up and off the 2 clamp locking slots on the cover. Rest the locking clamp at the front of the unit.
3. Lift the Juicer’s cover up and off the Juicer.
4. Grasping the pulp spout in one hand and the back of the juice bowl in the other, loosen and lift the juice bowl and lter and blade unit off as one piece. These 2 parts will then easily separate for easy cleaning. CAUTION: Use care when handling the lter and blade unit. Hold by the rim only. DO NOT TOUCH the cutter blades on the bottom of the lter. The cutter blades are very sharp!
5. Please follow the procedures outlined in the Care & Cleaning Instructions for specic cleaning instructions.
CARE & CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Unplug from the power socket. Please follow the procedures outlined in the Disassembly Instructions to remove parts before cleaning.
2. Clean unit and parts after each use.
3. Do not immerse the motor base in water or spray it with water. Clean only by wiping with a damp sponge, cloth, or paper towel. Use a mild detergent, do not use any harsh or abrasive cleaners as they will scratch and damage the cosmetic nish of the unit.
4. If any juice has spilled under the Juicer, clean legs and area with a damp cloth, then dry. Use a damp toothbrush or cloth to clean juice from inside the motor hub on top of the motor base.
5. All parts (except the motor base) are washable in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher.
6. When cleaning the lter unit, make sure the tiny holes in the lter are not clogged. This can be accomplished by holding the lter unit under running water. Use a dishwashing brush in a circular motion to clean the lter from both inside and outside of the lter unit.
CAUTION: Use care when handling the lter and blade unit. Hold the lter’s rim
only. DO NOT TOUCH the cutter blades on the bottom of the lter. The cutter blades are very sharp!
7. The Juicer’s clear cover, juice bowl, lter, pulp basket, jug and lid may be washed in the top rack of a dishwasher. However, washing with warm (not hot) tap water on a daily basis should be sufcient.
8. Due to the powerful staining properties of the carotenoids that are found in many vegetables, especially carrots, we suggest soaking stained parts overnight in any of these 3 cleaning solutions:
1 part warm water to 1 part cider vinegar
1/2 small box baking soda in enough warm water to cover parts.
Warm water with 10% lemon juice solution.
CAUTION: Never use ammonia or abrasives.
Lightly clean with a sponge or damp cloth and mild liquid detergent after soaking.
WARNING: NEVER SUBMERGE THE MOTOR BASE IN WATER OR ANY
OTHER LIQUID!
