10. Switch to OFF position after each use and be
sure the motor stops completely before
disassembling.
11. Do not put fingers or other objects into the
juice extractor opening while it is in operation.
If food becomes stuck in the opening, use

containing ammonia or scouring powders, as these
products will dull, scratch or mar the finish.
For easycleanup, use cleaning brush to
removeexcess pulp from the filter/sieve and the
lidafter each use.Vegetables and fruits will harden
if left to dry on the unit parts, making it harder to
clean.

TIPS AND HINTS
• Extracted juice captures about 95% of the nutrients
from fresh fruits and vegetables. Drinking extracted
juice is a fast and efficient way for your body to
digest and absorb all of those nutrients. Digesting
whole fruits can take about an hour; extracted
juices take only 15 minutes.
• Freshly extracted juices are an excellent aid in
weight management and in cleanses, which rid
the body of toxins.
• Always use fresh, organic and seasonal produce.
Organic produce is grown without synthetic fertil
izers and chemicals, which is very important when
juicing whole foods. Buying foods in season is
considerably less expensive than purchasing offseason, and flavours are much better.
• Wash all fruits and vegetables immediately after
purchasing and store them in the refrigerator.
This way they are ready to juice at any time.
-
Page 6
• Always juice fresh fruits and vegetables as soon
as possible after purchasing. The longer produce
is held, the more nutrients it loses.
• Fresh juices should be consumed immediately.
They lose nutrients as they sit.
• Certain fruits should be peeled before juicing.
Examples are pineapples, melons, mangoes,
papayas, citrus – any fruit with skin that you can
not eat. Also remove all pits and hard seeds from
peaches, cherries, mangoes, etc.
• Citrus fruit juice is delicious and creamy, and
richer in nutrients.
• If cucumbers are waxy, peel them before juicing.
• Juice the softer ingredients before the harder
ones.
• When juicing herbs or leafy greens, juice them
in the middle of a combination of ingredients in
order to extract the greatest amount of juice.
• Use your taste to guide you on fruit and vegetable
combinations for juices. The recipes provided
are a guideline, but the possibilities are endless.
-
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Experiment to discover your favourite combina
tions.
• Carrots make a great and tasty base for vegetable
juices, and apples do the same for fruit juices.
• Beets and carrots both have a naturally high sugar
content, so when added to vegetable juices they
can balance out any bitter flavours juiced veg
etables may have.
• Use your Compact Juice Extractor in tandem with
your blender. Blend fresh juices with ingredients
like bananas, yogurt, and protein powders for
delicious power smoothies.
• It is also possible to make a healthier, fresher
version of your favourite cocktail with fresh juices.
• Blend fruit juices with sparkling water or seltzer to
make a natural soda.
• The pulp that is separated from the juice has its
own health benefits. It is high in fibre and can
be used in a variety of ways. See our recipes as
guides on how you can incorporate the fibrous
pulp into your diet.

BAKED GOODS
Potato Bread
Makes one 450g loaf
2 large russet potatoes, about 450g,
peeled
2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
3 cups bread flour
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter,
room temperature
1½ tablespoons nonfat dry milk
1 large egg
1. Turn the Cuisinart® Compact Juice Extractor
on and juice the potatoes. Stir the juice and
reserve ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon. Reserve
all of the pulp (about 2 cups), being sure to
discard any large pieces of potato.
2. Put the potato juice, yeast and sugar into
the bowl of a Cuisinart
with the dough hook. Stir well to dissolve
yeast and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.
Mixture will foam and bubble – this means
the yeast is alive and active.
3. Put the flour, salt, butter, and dry milk in
a separate bowl and stir. Add half to the
yeast mixture and mix on speed 3 until fully
combined, being sure to scrape the bottom
of the bowl with a spatula. Add the egg and
reserved pulp; mix to combine.
4. Continuing on speed 3, add the remaining flour mixture, ½ cup at a time, mixing
completely, about 30 to 40 seconds, until
no flour is visible after each addition. The
dough at first will be a batter, and slowly, as
the flour is added, (you may not need all of
the flour), the batter will become a complete
ball of dough that cleans the sides of the
mixing bowl.
5. After the flour mixture has been incorporated mix on speed 3 for 3 to 4 minutes to
knead the dough.
®
Stand Mixer fitted
6. Dust dough ball lightly with flour and place
in a sealable food storage bag; press out air
and seal. Let rise in a warm, draft-free place
until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
7. Punch dough down and shape into a loaf.
Place loaf in a lightly greased 20cm loaf pan
and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise
30 to 40 minutes, or until doubled in size.
8. While dough is rising, preheat oven to
190°C.
9. Bake bread in preheated oven 50 to 60
minutes until browned and hollow-sounding
when tapped. Cool on a wire rack. Bread
slices best when allowed to cool completely
before
slicing.
