When you make your own juices, you have complete control over what you include in them. You select the ingredients and decide if

you need to use sugar, salt or other flavoring agents. Freshly extracted juices should be drunk just after they have been made to avoid a loss of vitamin content.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

POSSIBLE PROBLEM EASY SOLUTION

Machine will not work The Safety Locking Arm is possibly not correctly when switched ‘ON’ engaged in the vertical operating position with the

locking arm located into the two grooves on either side of the Juice Cover (see picture on page 9, step 4A & 4B).

Motor appears to stall Wet pulp can build up under the cover if the juicing a when juicing action is too vigorous. Try slower juicing action by

pushing the Food Pusher down more slowly (refer page 9, step 5).

Excess pulp building Stop the juicing process. Remove the Juicer Cover, up in the Micro Mesh scrape off pulp. Re-assemble and begin juicing again. Filter Basket Try alternating (soft and hard) vegetable and

fruit varieties.

Pulp too wet and Try a slower juicing action. Remove Mesh Filter insufficient juice Basket and clean mesh walls with a fine brush in a

solution of 70% water plus 30% bleach. This will remove excess fiber build up (from fruit or vegetables) which could be inhibiting the juice flow.

Juice leaks between the Try a slower juicing action by pushing the Food rim of the Juicer Cover Pusher down more slowly (refer page 9, step 5). and the Filter Watermelon is not recommended in the Juice

Fountain due to high water content.

Bowl Surround Juice sprays Try a slower juicing action by pushing the Food out from spout Pusher down more slowly (refer page 10, step 5B).

CARE AND CLEANING cont’d

To assist with cleaning soak the Stainless Steel Filter Basket in hot soapy water for approx. 10 minutes immediately after juicing is completed. If pulp is left to dry on the filter it may clog the fine pores of the filter mesh thereby lessening the effectiveness of the Juicer.

For your convenience a nylon cleaning brush has been included with your Juice Fountain.

PREPARATION OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES

• If using fruits with hard or inedible skins

such as melons, mango and kiwi fruit always peel before placing in the Juicer. Pineapples only require tops to be removed prior to juicing, not the skin.

• Citrus fruit can be juiced in the Juice

Fountain Professional if peeled first.

• All fruits with pits and seeds or stones

such as nectarines, peaches, apricots, plums and cherries must be pitted before juicing.

• A small amount of lemon juice can be

added to apple juice to prohibit browning.

Hint:

Your Juice Fountain Professional makes invigorating, frothy orange juice. Simply peel the oranges and juice. (Best to refrigerate oranges before juicing.)

THE RIGHT TECHNIQUE

When juicing a variety of different ingredients of varying textures, best results are gained by alternating harder ingredients with softer ones. For example, when juicing two hard vegetables such as carrots and parsnips and a softer type, such as tomatoes, start with the parsnips, then the tomato, finishing with the carrots. By alternating between soft and hard vegetables in this manner, it assists by cleaning the stainless steel filter basket between the vegetables. This enables the Juicer to extract the maximum amount of juice from each vegetable.

If you are using herbs, sprouts or small leafy greens it is a good idea to wrap them in a large lettuce or spinach leaf or place them through the Feed Chute between pieces of firmer vegetable.

All fruit and vegetables produce different amounts of liquids. This varies within the same group i.e. one batch of tomatoes can produce more juice than another batch. Since juice recipes are not exact, and juicing is not a science, the precise quantities of any juice are not crucial to the success of a particular mixture.

THE INSIDE INFORMATION ON JUICE

Although the juice drinks contained in this booklet were developed with flavor, texture and aroma at the forefront, the health benefits certainly add to the pleasurable taste experience.

95% of the nutrient content of fruit and vegetables is found in the juice. Liquids extracted from fresh fruits and vegetables form an important part of a well-balanced healthy diet. Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are an easy to make source of vitamins and minerals. Juices are rapidly absorbed into the blood stream therefore being the quickest way in which the body can digest nutrients.

When you make your own juices, you have complete control over what you include. You select the ingredients and decide if you need to use sugar, salt or other flavoring agents. Freshly extracted juices should be drunk just after they have been made to avoid a loss of vitamin content.

PURCHASING AND STORAGE OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES

• Always wash fruit and vegetables

before juicing.

• Always use fresh fruit and vegetables

for juicing.

• To save money and obtain fresher

produce, purchase fruit or vegetables that are in season (see the Fruit and Vegetable Facts chart on pages 21 and 22).

• Due to the high water content found

in watermelon, it is not recommended that watermelon be juiced in the Juice Fountain.

• Keep your fruit and vegetables always

ready for juicing by washing them before storing.

• Most fruits and hardier type vegetables

can be stored at cool room temperature. The more delicate and perishable items such as tomatoes, berries, leafy greens, celery, cucumbers and herbs should be stored in the refrigerator until required.

TIPS ON JUICING cont’d

To extract the maximum amount of juice always push the Food Pusher down slowly.

TIPS ON JUICING

GETTING THE RIGHT BLEND

It is not difficult to create great tasting juice. If you have been making your own vegetable and fruit juices, then you know how simple it is to invent new combinations. Taste, color, texture and ingredient preferences are a personal thing. Just think of some of your favorite flavors and foods. Would they work well together or would they clash? Some strong flavors could over power the more subtle flavors of others. It is however, a good rule of thumb to combine starchy, pulpy ingredients with those high in moisture.

Experiment! Any fruit or vegetable that you enjoy can go into your next drink. You may choose to use one fruit to give a predominant flavor and accent it with a hint of another flavor. The choices are limited only by your imagination.

USING THE PULP

The remaining pulp left after juicing fruit or vegetables is mostly fiber and cellulose which, like the juice, contains vital nutrients necessary for the daily diet and can be

used in many ways. However, like the juice, pulp should be used that day to avoid loss of vitamins.

There are a number of recipes contained in this book for the use of pulp (refer to pages 32 to 35). Apart from these, some of the other uses of pulp are to bulk out rissoles, thicken casseroles or soups or in the case of fruit, simply placed in a bowl topped with meringue and baked for a simple dessert.

Quite apart from the consumption use, pulp is great used in the garden for compost.
