Breville recommends safety first

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

We at Breville are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with the safety of you, our valued customer foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions:

Read all instructions before operating and save for future reference

Operating your Breville Juice Fountain

Assembling your Breville Juice Fountain

continued

Step 6

Place the pulp container into position by tilting slightly.

To minimise washing up we suggest you place a plastic freezer bag (or plastic grocery bag) into the pulp container to collect the pulp.

That’s the idea

™

Step 7

Place the juice jug provided under the spout on the right hand side of the Juice Fountain. The lid can be placed on to avoid any splatter.

A glass could also be used to collect the juice.

Note

Step 1

Wash your selection of fruit and vegetables ready for juicing.

Most fruit and vegetables such as apples, carrots and cucumbers will not need to be cut to size as these will fit into the feed chute whole. When juicing carrots place the tip of the carrot into the feed chute last.

Note

Step 2

Ensure the Juice Fountain is correctly assembled. Ensure the stainless steel filter is thoroughly cleaned before each use (refer to care and cleaning on page 15). Ensure you place the juice jug (or a glass) under the spout before commencing juicing.

Step 3

Plug the power cord into a 230/240V power outlet and turn the power 'On'. Push the two speed switch either up for low speed or down for high speed depending on the type of fruit or vegetable being juiced. Use the speed selector table as a guide for juicing different fruits and vegetables.

WHEN USING THE JUICE FOUNTAIN ON HIGH SPEED, DO NOT RUN THE JUICER FOR LONGER THAN 4 MINUTES AT A TIME WHEN CONTINUOUSLY JUICING HARD FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, SUCH AS APPLES, CARROTS, AND BEET. AFTER SUCH TIME, WAIT 1 MINUTE BEFORE RESUMING FEEDING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES DOWN THE FEED CHUTE. NOTE: YOU DO NOT NEED TO SWITCH THE JUICER OFF.

Disassembling your Breville Juice Fountain

Step 1

Turn Juice Fountain Professional ’Off‘ at the power outlet and unplug.

Step 2

Remove the pulp container by holding the handle and pivoting the bottom of the pulp container away from the juicer.

Step 3

Place both hands on either side of the locking arm and pull back and lift over the grooves on either side of the juicer cover.

Step 4

Move the locking arm down.

Step 5

Lift the juicer cover off the Juicer.

Operating your Breville Juice Fountain

continued

Step 4

With the motor running, place food into the feed chute. Using the food pusher, gently guide food down the feed chute. To extract the maximum amount of juice, always push the food pusher down slowly.

Step 5

Juice will flow into the juice jug and the separated pulp will accumulate in the pulp container.

The pulp container can be emptied during juicing by turning the Juice Fountain ’Off‘ and then carefully removing the pulp container. (Replace empty pulp container before continuing to juice).

Do not allow the pulp container to overfill as this may prevent correct operation or damage the unit.

Note

To minimise washing up place a plastic freezer bag into the pulp container to collect the pulp.

That’s the idea

™

NEVER USE FINGERS TO PUSH FOOD DOWN THE FEED CHUTE OR TO CLEAR THE FEED CHUTE. ALWAYS USE THE FOOD PUSHER PROVIDED.

Care and cleaning

• For easy cleaning - immediately after each use

rinse removable parts under running water (to remove wet pulp). Allow parts to air dry.

• After disassembling the unit (see page 13)

all removable parts may be washed in hot soapy water.

• The Juice Fountain juicer cover, filter bowl surround,

pulp container, stainless steel filter basket and 1 litre juice jug are dishwasher safe

(top shelf only)

• Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth.

• Before washing juice jug, remove froth attachment

and rinse under running water.

• For consistent juicing results always ensure that the

stainless steel filter basket is thoroughly cleaned using the supplied nylon brush. Using the nylon washing up brush, hold the filter basket under running water and brush from the inside of the basket to outer rim. 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 in the dishwasher.

• Do not soak the stainless steel filter basket

in bleach.

• Always treat the filter basket with care as it can be

easily damaged.

• Discolouration of the plastic may occur with

strongly coloured fruit and vegetables. To help prevent this, wash parts immediately after use.

• If discolouration does occur, the plastic parts can be

soaked in 10% lemon juice and water or they can be cleaned with a non abrasive cleaner.

To assist with cleaning soak the stainless steel filter basket in hot soapy water for approximately 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.

Note

Disassembling your Breville Juice Fountain

continued

Step 6

To remove stainless steel filter basket, hold base of juicer and turn filter bowl surround by the juice spout.

Step 7

Lift off the filter bowl surround with the stainless steel filter basket still in place.

Step 8

To remove the stainless steel filter basket, turn the filter bowl surround upside down and carefully remove the filter basket. (It is recommended to remove the filter basket over the sink).

CAUTION:

SHARP BLADES

FILTER BASKET

THE STAINLESS STEEL FILTER BASKET CONTAINS SMALL SHARP BLADES TO CUT AND PROCESS FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. DO NOT TOUCH BLADES WHEN HANDLING THE FILTER BASKET.

DO NOT IMMERSE THE MOTOR BASE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID. THE CENTRE OF THE FILTER BASKET AND FEED CHUTE CONTAIN SMALL SHARP BLADES TO

PROCESS FRUIT AND VEGETABLES DURING THE JUICING FUNCTION. DO NOT TOUCH BLADES WHEN HANDLING THE FILTER BASKET OR FEED CHUTE.

The inside information on juicing

Although the juice drinks contained in this booklet were developed with flavour, 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 from an important part of a wellbalanced 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 in them. You select the ingredients and decide if you need to use sugar, salt or other flavouring agents.

Freshly extracted juices should be consumed 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 20 and 21).

• Keep your fruit and vegetables ready for juicing by

washing them before storing.

• Most fruits and hardier type vegetables can be

stored at 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.

Preparation of fruit and vegetables

• If using fruits with hard or inedible skins such as

mangoes, guava, melons or pineapple, always peel before juicing.

• Citrus fruit can be juiced in the Juice Fountain

Professional if peeled first.

• All fruits with pits, hard seeds or stones such as

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

• A small amount of lemon juice can be added to

apple juice to prohibit browning.

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

That’s the idea

™

The right technique

When juicing a variety of ingredients with varying textures start with the softer textured ingredients on low speed then change to high speed for the harder textured ingredients.

If you are juicing herbs, sprouts or leafy green vegetables either wrap then together to form a bundle or juice them in the middle of a combination of ingredients on low speed to obtain the best extraction.

If juicing herbs or leafy green vegetables on their own, the juice yield will be low due to the nature of centrifugal juicing, it is advised to juice them with a combination of other fruit and vegetables.

Note

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, the precise quantities of any juice are not crucial to the success of a particular mixture.

To extract the maximum amount of juice always push the food pusher down slowly.

Note

Getting the right blend

It is easy 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, colour, texture and ingredient preferences are a personal thing. Just think of some of your favourite flavours and foods - would they work well together or would they clash. Some strong flavours could over power the more subtle flavours of others. It is however, a good rule of thumb to combine starchy, pulpy ingredients with those high in moisture.

Using the pulp

The remaining pulp left after juicing fruit or vegetables is mostly fibre 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 page R12). 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.

When using the pulp, there may be some pieces of fruit or vegetable remaining. These should be removed before using the pulp in any recipes.
