The current interest in fresh and unprocessed food is the reason for fresh fruit and vegetable juices to become a favourite component of our daily food and well balanced diet.

The Design Juicer Pro has a special designed large feed chute, a 3 litre pulp container, a big juice jug and a stainless steel titanium reinforced micro mesh filter. It operates with a high performance 950 watt motor which makes the juice production easy and efficient.

The parts have a smooth surface with no grooves and rough edges and can be cleaned easily after use. The provided juice jug finishes with the juice run-out and therefore eliminates any splatter during operation. It has a volumetric capacity of 1,000 ml and a nice grip for easy and comfortable handling.

Please read all the advice and instructions with care and keep the manual. Only use the appliance to process fresh food.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Any other use, especially misuse, can cause severe injury or damage by electric shock, fire or moving mechanical parts. This instruction is an essential part of the appliance. When passing on the appliance to a third person, ensure to include these instructions.

Any operation, repair and technical maintenance of the appliance or any part of it other than described in these instructions may only be performed at an authorised service centre. Please contact your vendor.

Important Instructions

• Never leave the appliance unattended when in operational mode.

• Always make sure the appliance is properly and completely assembled before connecting to power outlet and operating. The unit will not turn ›on‹ unless properly assembled.

• Do not let the motor run permanently for longer then 7 minutes to avoid overheating.

• Do not operate the appliance continuously on heavy loads for more than 10 seconds.

If this is the case the motor slows down because the appliance is overloaded or the fruit chunks are too big. Cut the fruit in smaller pieces and try smaller amounts at one time. To continue juicing turn the appliance off and then on again. (None of the recipes in this book are considered a heavy load.)

• ATTENTION: Extra wide feed chute. Never put fingers, wooden spoons or other foreign substance (such as hair, clothing, brushes, cloths) into the feed chute when the appliance is plugged into the power point. Do not

push products into the feed chute with your fingers or

other foreign substances. Always use the food pusher provided. Always turn the appliance off, wait for the motor to stop moving and then pull the plug before taking off the lid of the juicer.

• Do not push products into the feed chute with your fingers or foreign objects. Always use the food pusher provided.

• Never hold your face or other body parts over the feed chute when the motor is running because little pieces of food could be thrown out of the feed chute.

• The blades on the base of the stainless steel micro mesh filter and inside the feed chute are very sharp. Pay attention when handling the parts. Only touch the stainless steel micro mesh filter on the edge and handle with care when cleaning with the nylon bristle brush.

• ATTENTION:

Ensure that the filter basket is clean before starting to operate the appli-

ance.

• Do not leave food leftovers dehumidify on the appliance or parts of the appliance. If pulp dehumidifies on the micro mesh filter it may clog the fine pores of the micro mesh filter thereby lessening the effectiveness of the juicer.

• Note: The juice jug lid can be used to avoid any splatter. Alternatively you can fit the custom-designed juice nozzle over the juice spout and place a glass underneath. The juice nozzle will prevent splatter, ensuring mess free juicing.

• ATTENTION: Empty the pulp container and juice jug in time to avoid run-over and splatter which might causes damages to the appliance.

Operate according to the instructions ›Trouble shooting guide‹.

Step1:

Wash your selection of fruit and vegetables before juicing.

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

Step 2:

Ensure the juicer is correctly assembled. Ensure the stainless steel filter is thoroughly cleaned before each use (refer to ›Care and cleaning‹). Ensure you place the juice jug under the spout before commencing juicing.

Step 2 a: Working with the juice jug The juice jug consist of the jug with scale, a froth separator and the lid. Insert the froth separator from the top into the jug and close the jug with the lid. Place the juice jug infront of the spout and ensure that the juice can run right into the jug. This way you can avoid splatter.

ATTENTION: Ensure not to overfill the juice jug when operating the juicer. Over floating liquid could run under the motor block and cause damage to the appliance.

Step 3:

Plug the power cord into a 220-2240V power outlet and turn the power on. Push the ›ON/OFF‹ button to ›ON‹.

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 jug and the separated pulp will accumulate in the integrated pulp container.

ATTENTION: Do not allow the pulp container to overfill as this may affect the operation of the appliance (refer to disassembling instructions). Reassemble machine to continue juicing.

To minimise cleaning, line the pulp container with a plastic freezer bag to collect the pulp.

EMPTY THE PULP CONTAINER DURING JUICING

The pulp container can be emptied during juicing by turning the appliance off at the control panel and then carefully removing the pulp container. Remove the pulp container by tilting the pulp container slightly to the right and unlatch it from under the juicer cover and the container support extending from under the motor base.

filter basket WARNING: sharp blades

WARNING: Always ensure that the juicer is switched off at the power outlet. Then remove the plug from the power outlet before cleaning, dissembling and storing the appliance. Do not immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid. Do not use water jet to clean the motor base. Do not clean the motor base in the dishwasher.

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.

ATTENTION: Abrasive and strong cleaner damage the surface of the plastic parts and could cause discolouration. Never clean the appliance or parts with abrasive and strong cleaner. For easier cleaning and to avoid discolouration: Clean as you go and avoid dried on juice or pulp residue. Immediately after each use, rinse removable parts in hot water to remove wet pulp. Otherwise discolouration of the plastic may occur with strongly coloured fruit and vegetables. Allow parts to air dry.

Never use hard or sharp-edged objects when using or cleaning the juicer or the stainless steel micro mesh filter. Do not use force when using the appliance to avoid damages. Always assemble the appliance completely before storing. The parts are protected this way and can not get lost.

Ensure the juicer is correctly disassembled. Refer to ›Disassembling your Design Juicer Pro‹. Follow these instructions to clean all surfaces of parts that come into contact with food during normal use.

Filter bowl surround, juicer cover, stainless steel micro mesh filter, juice jug and pulp container are dishwasher safe (top shelf only). Use a program to be suited for glass (low temperature). A program with high temperature might cause discolouration and distortion of the plastic parts. Plastic parts might tarnish being frequently cleaned in the dishwasher.

IMPORTANT: Do not clean the food pusher in the dishwasher.

IMPORTANT: Soak the stainless steel filter basket in hot soapy water for approximately

10 minutes immediately after juicing is completed. If pulp dehumidifies on the micro mesh filter it may clog the fine pores of the micro mesh filter 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 centre 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.

NOTE: Alternatively you can soak the filter basket in hot water with dental prosthesis detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clear water and the provided nylon brush.

IMPORTANT: Do not soak the stainless steel filter basket in bleach. Always treat the filter basket with care as it can be easily damaged.

Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Ensure of no water intrusion into the inside of the motor block.

CARE AND CLEANING

Allow parts to air dry or thoroughly dry them with a clean cloth. Always assemble the appliance completely before storing (regard ›Assembling the appliance‹). The parts are protected this way and can not get lost. Keep all parts out of reach of children.

ATTENTION: Occasionally clean the drive coupling (see picture) with a damp cloth. Ensure the stainless steel balls of the basket adjustment are clean and free from dried on juice or pulp residue. After every fifth usage put some vaseline onto the balls of the adjustment.

WARNING: Please store the juicer in a frost-free, clean and dry location where it is out of reach of children and is protected against excessive loads (such as downfall, voltage, heat, humidity). Never lay heavy or hard objects on top of the appliance.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

Possible problem Easy solution

Machine will not work when switched ›ON‹

Motor appears to stall when juicing

Excess pulp building up in the micro mesh filter basket

Pulp too wet and reduced extracted juice

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

Bowl surround juice sprays out from spout

Juicer makes loud noise when turned on

No juice coming out while juicing

The safety locking arm may not be correctly engaged in the vertical operating position with the locking arm located into the two grooves on both side of the juicer cover (regard ›Assembling the appliance‹).

Wet pulp can build up under the cover if the juicing action is too vigorous. Try slower juicing action by pushing the food pusher down more slowly. Clean the integrated pulp container, the stainless steel filter basket and the juicer cover (regard ›To clear the block‹).

Stop the juicing process. Remove the juicer cover, scrape off pulp. Assemble and begin juicing again. Try alternating (soft and hard) vegetable and fruit varieties.

Try a slower juicing by pushing the food pusher down more slowly. Remove stainless steel filter basket and thoroughly clean mesh walls with the nylon brush. Rinse the stainless steel filter basket under hot water. If the fine mesh holes are blocked, soak the stainless steel filter basket in a solution of hot water with 10% lemon juice to unblock the holes or wash in the dishwasher. This will remove excess fibre build up (from fruit or vegetables) which could be inhibiting the juice flow.

Try a slower juicing by pushing the food pusher down more slowly. Fruit and vegetables with a high water content (tomatoes and watermelon) should be juiced on low speed.

Try a slower juicing by pushing the food pusher down more slowly.

Filer basket is not properly snapped into position. Turn the ›ON/OFF‹ button to ›OFF‹. Turn the power off. Disassemble the Design Juicer Pro (refer to ›disassembling‹). Assemble (refer to ›Assembling‹).

Check that the spout is not blocked with pulp. Refer to ›Care and Cleaning‹.

TO CLEAR BLOCKAGE

When juicing hard or stringily fruit or vegetables, or if you push down the food pusher too fast or with too much pressure or the juicing is too vigorous, wet pulp can build up under the juicer cover or the motor appears to stall when juicing. Wet pulp would block the fine mashes of the filter basket. Try slower juicing by pushing the food pusher down more slowly. Follow Disassembling and Cleaning instructions and clean the filter bowl surround, the stainless steel filter basket and the juicer cover.

1. Turn the appliance off, wait for the motor to stop moving and pull the plug.

2. Disassemble the appliance according to the instructions. WARNING: Do not touch blades when handling the filter basket.

3. Remove residue of food on the filter basket with a small wooden or plastic spoon.

4. Assemble the appliance according to the instructions and continue juicing.

5. If another blockage occurs clean the appliance according to the instruction ›Care and Cleaning‹.

To avoid further blockage:

• When juicing hard or stringily fruit or vegetables choose high speed.

• Remove very hard and stringily elements such as stalks and stems.

• Try slower juicing by pushing the food pusher down more slowly.

• Avoid overloading pulp in the pulp container. The pulp has to be able to fall easily and unhindered into the pulp container.

• Try other fruit and vegetables.

TIPS ON JUICING

THE INSIDE INFORMATION ON JUICING

Although juice drinks are usually 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 fruit and vegetables form an important part of a well balanced diet. Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are an easy 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.

• Keep your fruit and vegetables ready for juicing by washing them before storing.

• Most fruit and hardier type vegetables can be stored at room temperature. The more delicate and perishable items such as tomatoes, berries, leafy greens, celery, cucumber and herbs should be stored in the refrigerator until required.

PREPARATION OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES

• If using fruit with hard or inedible skins such as mangoes, guava, melons or pineapple, always peel before juicing.

• Citrus fruit can be juiced in the Design Juicer Pro if peeled first.

• All fruit with pits, hard seeds or stones such as nectarine, peaches, mangoes, apricots, plums and cherries must be pitted before juicing.

• A small amount of lemon juice can be added to apple juice to prevent browning.

NOTE: Your Design Juicer Pro makes invigorating, frothy orange juice. Simply peel the oranges and juice. (It is best to refrigerate oranges before juicing).

THE RIGHT TECHNIQUE

• When juicing a variety of ingredients with varying textures start with the softer textured ingredients then change to for harder texture ingredients. Choose the correct speed according to the speed selection table.

• 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 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 as with a combination of other fruit and vegetables.

• 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.

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

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.

Some of the 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.

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