How To Use Your Juice Factory
The Juice Factory is made for the express purpose of extracting flavourful vitamin and mineral filled juices of raw fruits and vegetables by means of centrifugal force.
Operation
Before first using your Juice Factory , carefully wash and dry all parts that will come into contact with food.
Prepare material to be processed by washing thoroughly and peeling as required. Remove all pits, stones and large seeds.
Cut large fruits or vegetables into small pieces when using Inlet Chute.
Plug cordset into a regular 240V earthed outlet. Push power button ‘ON’. To adjust speed push ‘I’
for a slow setting and ‘II’ for a faster setting.
Juice Extractor
Check to be sure that the Juice Cup is in place and feed material to be processed into the Inlet Chute at a moderate and steady rate. Use the Pusher as required to clear the Chute. Avoid excessive force when using the Pusher . A moderate, steady pressure is all that should be required. Too much pressure may cause the material to jam the Inlet Chute, or cause distortion of the Cutter/Strainer Assembly .
Note: If the Chute does become jammed from excessive force, proceed as outlined under (B) following, clearing the chute before reassembling the parts.
Note: Never use fingers or any other object other than the Pusher to clear the Inlet Chute. If the food cannot be dislodged, turn the motor off. Unplug power cord from
outlet before proceeding.
Remove the Cover from the Juice Extractor assembly, and use a rubber spatula or long handled wooden spoon to clear the Inlet Chute. Continue processing until one or more of the following conditions occur:
(A) If the Juice Cup is full before all the material
is processed, push the power button ‘OFF’ and allow the Juice Cup to remain in place until the Motor stops and juice stops flowing. T ransfer the juice to a separate container. Replace the Juice Cup or push the power button ‘ON’ to continue processing.
(B) If the Pulp Collector is full before all the
material is processed, push the power button ‘OFF’, and allow the Juice Cup to remain in place until the Motor stops and juice stops flowing.
Unplug power cord from outlet before proceeding.
Remove the Juice Factory Assembly and dismantle parts as outlined under ‘Disassembly Instructions’.
Remove pulp from the Pulp Collector. Reassemble parts as outlined under ‘Assembly Instructions’.
5
Insert power cord into outlet.
Push power button ‘ON’ with your selected speed and resume processing.
(C) If all material has been processed, push
power button ‘OFF’, and allow the Juice Cup to remain in place until the Motor stops and juice stops flowing.
Unplug power cord from outlet before proceeding.
Remove Juice Factory Assembly and dismantle it as outlined under ‘Disassembly Instructions’.
Remove pulp from the Pulp Collector. Clean all parts as soon as possible after you have finished processing. See section ‘How To Care For Your Juice Factory’.
Citrus Juicer
Assemble all parts according to ‘Assembly’ instructions. Check to be sure Juice Cup is in place and securing clamps are safely locked before plugging in power cord.
Clean and wash the citrus fruits to be used and cut them in half.
Insert the plug into the electrical outlet. By placing the citrus fruits onto the cone and
pressing slightly , the appliance will begin to operate and extract juice into the Juice Cup. Open the anti-drip valve to flow juice to cup.
According to the type of fruit to be juiced, either the smaller or larger cone can be used. The larger cone is suitable for grapefruits and the smaller cone for oranges.
Benefits Of Your Juice Factory
Nutrition
Not many people can eat 5 large carrots. But anyone, from child to grandmother , can easily drink the juice from 5 large carrots, It’s a beautiful and delicious juice. Children love it because it’s sweet. Grown-ups generally prefer it with a dash of lemon juice.
Fresh and pure natural fruit and vegetable juices are a wonderful way to get extra vitamins and minerals into children. People who need optimum amounts of vitamins and minerals often find the chewing of raw vegetables a problem, or the raw bulk too irritating for them to digest. Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are the answer.
Those of us who daily fight the battle of the bulge could drink their way to slimness without fatigue or without lowering their resistance to disease. Practically all could improve their health and zest for living by including more fruits and vegetables in their daily diet. Your Juice Factory is the lazy way , perhaps, but an easy and most enjoyable way to health and vigour .
T o assist you in developing a balanced diet for you and your family , the sources for a number of vitamins and minerals are listed on the following pages. Your Juice Factory will make it easy to increase your intake of almost all of these vitamins and minerals as they are contained in fruit and vegetable juices.
Special Tips To Maximise the Use Of Your Juice Factory
Drink Juices As Soon As Possible
Always drink juices immediately or as soon as possible after extraction. The longer they are allowed to stand to the air , the more important nutrients are destroyed. If you must keep them, store in the refrigerator , in tightly covered jars, for up to 24 hours.
Some juices tend to darken quite rapidly , such as apple juice. A few drops of lemon, orange or pineapple juice will help to prevent rapid discolouration and frequently perks up the flavour. Better still, drink them immediately.
Use Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
Garden and orchard fresh are, or course, the best and provide the maximum amount of juice and nutritional values. Use tender , young vegetables; leaves should be dark green, celery solid, yet tender; carrots should be bright orange; apples crisp; pineapples ripe and sweet.
In general, the softer the texture of the fruit or vegetable, the thicker the juice it will produce. For example, a ripe pear will produce a thicker­textured juice than a crisp apple; leafy spinach will produce a thicker textured juice than crispy celery.
Your Juice Factory cannot be used to process foods such as meat, nuts, whole grain cereals, and beans.
6
Wash Carefully , Trim and Cut
Wash all fruits and vegetables carefully, but do not soak in water . Scrub with a vegetable brush, trim and cut into pieces.
When using Juice Extractor feed fruits and root vegetables in long strips rather than cutting into dice and sections. Roll leafy vegetables into small clumps, insert into opening in Cover and press gently with Plunger .
It is not necessary to peel light-skinned fruits or vegetables.
To minimise pulp production and improve the flavour of the finished product, citrus fruits and other thick skinned foods such as pineapple should be peeled before processing.
Discard stones from apricots, peaches, or cherries.
Y our Juice Factory is not intended for use with soft, tropical type fruits such as bananas, papayas and mangoes.
If you are making a “combination” juice from a number of raw ingredients, plan to process the softer textured ingredients first, and the crisper ingredients second. This will assure maximum extraction of juices from varying degrees of textures.
After processing leafy vegetables, you may combine vegetable pulp with the extracted juice and reduce cooking time by one half. By elimination the addition of water to the cooking process, maximum nutritional content is retained.
Your Juice Factory is ideal for yielding juice and pulp for making relishes.
Don’ t Throw Away V egetable Pulp
Put in a saucepan and barely cover with water . Simmer for 30 minutes. Cool, strain, and store in refrigerator or freezer in tight closed container . Use for soup stock, sauces and gravies. You may also use it for delicious cakes, jams, etc.
Have Fun With Your Juice Factory
Let your imagination be your guide. Put almost any combination of fresh fruits and vegetables into your juicer . Don ’t throw away outside leaves of lettuce, stalks of parsley or watercress. Wash well and juice.
A good combination is celery , carrot and tomato juice. Another , celery, tomato and watercress juice, and celery , carrot, and apple juice. Still another with wonderful vitamins and mineral content combines cabbage, celery , cucumber, and green pepper juice.
Flavour all juices to taste with honey or with vegetable salt and a squeeze of lemon and lime juice. Lemon improves the sweeter drinks and takes the edge off the pungent ones.
How To Care For Your Juice Factory
Always clean the Juice Factory thoroughly after each use. Make sure your Juice Factory is switched ‘OFF’ and unplug the unit from the power point before cleaning.
Note: Never immerse Motor and Base Assembly in water.
To clean Motor Base and Assembly , wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to dry thoroughly before re-using or storing.
The removable parts of the Juice Factory Assembly should be washed promptly after each use with a mild detergent in warm water . These parts are not dishwasher safe and must be hand washed.
Use a cleaning brush to scrub pulp residue from the cutting teeth and strainer hole known as the Cutter/Strainer Assembly.
After washing, rinse and allow all parts to dry thoroughly before reassembly and storage.
Note: Never use a metal brush on Cutter Teeth or Strainer Holes.
