CAREFULLY READ ALL
INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY
BEFORE OPERATING

When using electrical appliances, basic
safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:

• To protect against fire, electrical shock

and injury to persons, do not immerse
the appliance, motor base, cord or plug
in water or any other liquid.

• Close supervision is necessary when the

appliance is used by or near children.

• Unplug from outlet when not in use,

before putting on or taking off parts, and
before cleaning or attempting to move
the appliance.

• Avoid contact with moving parts.

• Regularly inspect the supply cord, plug

and actual appliance for any damage.
Do not operate any appliance with
a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, or is dropped
or damaged in any manner. Contact
Breville consumer support for assistance.

• The use of attachments not

recommended or sold by Breville may
cause fire, electric shock or injury.

• This appliance is for household use only.

Do not use this appliance for anything
other than its intended use. Do not use
in moving vehicles or boats. Do not use
outdoors. Misuse may cause injury.

• Do not let the power cord hang over the

edge of a table or counter-top.

• Do not let the power cord touch hot

surfaces, including stove, or become
knotted.

• Always make sure the juicer cover is

clamped securely in place (with safety
locking arm) before the motor is turned
on. Do not unfasten the clamps (safety
locking arm) while the juicer is in
operation.

• Always ensure the juicer is turned off

after each use. Make sure the filter
basket has stopped rotating and the
motor has completely stopped before
disassembling.

• Do not push food into the feed chute

with your fingers or other utensils.
Always use the food pusher provided.
Do not place hand or fingers into the
food chute when it is attached to the
appliance. If food becomes lodged in

CARE & CLEANING

Ensure the Juice Fountain™ Plus is turned off
by flipping the ON/OFF switch to OFF, then
unplug the power cord.

Ensure the Juice Fountain™ Plus is correctly
disassembled. Refer to disassembling your

• Immediately after each use, rinse

removable parts in hot water to remove
wet pulp. Allow parts to air dry.

NOTE

To minimize cleaning, line the pulp
container with a produce bag to
collect the pulp. Pulp can then be used
for other dishes, or as compost for the
garden or discarded.

CLEANING THE MOTOR BASE

• Wipe the motor base with a soft, damp

cloth then dry thoroughly.

• Wipe any excess food particles from the

power cord.

NOTE

Do not use abrasive scouring pads or
cleaners when cleaning the parts or motor

• Wash all parts in warm soapy water with

a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

NOTE

The filter bowl surround, juicing

dishwasher safe (top shelf only).

The juice cover and food pusher are
not dishwasher safe.

CLEANING THE FILTER BASKET

• For consistent juicing results always

ensure that the stainless steel filter
basket is thoroughly cleaned using the
supplied cleaning brush.

• 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.

• Using the cleaning brush, hold the filter

basket under running water and brush
from the inside of the basket to the outer
rim. Avoid touching the small sharp
blades in the center of the filter basket.
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.

POSSIBLE PROBLEM EASY SOLUTION

Machine will not work
when turned ON

• The safety locking arm may not be correctly engaged

in the vertical operating position with the locking arm
located into the two grooves on either side of the juicer
cover.

Motor appears to stall
when juicing

• Wet pulp can build up under the juicer cover if the juicing

action is too vigorous. Try slower juicing action by pushing

the food pusher down slower. Follow Disassembling and
Cleaning instructions and clean the filter bowl surround,
the stainless steel filter basket and the juicer cover.

• Hard fruit and vegetables will put excess strain onto the

motor if a low speed is selected. Please refer to the juicing
guide to determine the correct speed for the fruit and
vegetables selected for juicing.

Excess pulp building
up in the stainless
steel filter basket

• Stop the juicing process and follow Disassembling

instructions. Remove the juicer cover, scrape off pulp,
reassemble and begin juicing again. Try alternating (soft
and hard) vegetables and fruit varieties.

Pulp too wet and
reduced extracted
juice

•

Try a slower juicing action. Remove the stainless steel filter

basket and thoroughly clean mesh walls with a cleaning
brush. Rinse the filter basket under hot water. If the fine

mesh holes are blocked, soak the basket in a solution of hot

water with 10% lemon juice to unblock the holes or wash
in the dishwasher. This will remove excess fiber build up
(from fruit and vegetables) which could be inhibiting the
flow.

Juice leaks between
the rim of the juicer
and the juicer cover

• Try a slower juicing speed and push the food pusher down

the feed chute slower.

TIPS ON JUICING

THE INSIDE INFORMATION
ON JUICING

Although juice drinks are usually developed
with flavor, texture and aroma at the
forefront, the health benefits certainly add
to the pleasurable taste experience. Up to
70% of the nutrient content of fruit and
vegetables is found in the juice. Liquids
extracted from fresh fruit and vegetables
form an important part of a well balanced
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
flavoring agents.

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. Refer to the Fruit and
Vegetable Facts chart.

• Keep your fruit and vegetables ready

for juicing by washing and drying them
before storing.

• Most fruits and hardier type vegetables

can be stored at room temperature. The
more delicate and perishable items
such as 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, citrus, melons or
pineapple, always peel before juicing.

• Some vegetables, such as cucumbers

can be processed unpeeled depending
on the softness of the skin and the
juicing requirements.

• All fruits with large pits, hard seeds or

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

• Ensure vegetables such as beets, carrots,

etc. have all soil removed, are well
washed and trimmed of leaves before
juicing.

• Ensure fruits such as strawberries are

hulled before juicing and pears have
their stalks removed.

• Citrus fruit can be juiced in the Juice

Fountain™ Plus, but remove the skin and
excess pith before juicing.

• A small amount of lemon juice can

be added to apple juice to reduce
discoloration.

NOTE

Your Juice Fountain™ Plus makes
invigorating, frothy orange juice.
Simply peel the oranges and remove
any excess pith before juicing. It is
best to refrigerate oranges before
juicing.
