Read the instructions and keep them safe. If you pass the juicer on, pass on the
instructions too. Remove all packaging, but keep it till you know the juicer works.
important safeguards
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1 This juicer must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible adult. Use
and store it out of reach of children.
2 Don’t put the motor unit in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom, near water, or
outdoors.
3 Don’t use fingers or cutlery to push food down the tube, use only the pusher
provided.
4 Check that both clamps are in place before using your juicer.
5 Don’t remove the clamps till the grating sieve has come to a complete stop.
6 Don’t use your juicer if the grating sieve is damaged.
7 Take care when handling the grating sieve, otherwise you may cut yourself.
8 Switch off (0) and unplug before moving, dismantling or cleaning the juicer.
9 Sit the juicer on a dry, stable, level surface, near a power socket.
10 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.
11 Keep the juicer and the cable away from hotplates, hobs or burners.
12 Don’t let the juice container overflow. If the liquid gets under the unit, it may be
sucked into the motor, damaging it.
13 Don't run the motor for more than 2 minutes, or it may overheat. After 2 minutes,
switch off for at least 2 minutes, to let the motor cool.
14 Don’t fit any attachment or accessory other than those we supply.
15 Don’t use the juicer for any purpose other than those described in these instructions.
16 Don’t operate the juicer if it’s damaged or malfunctions.
17 If the cable is damaged, return the juicer, to avoid hazard.
household use only
buy quality
Buy organically grown produce whenever you can, to reduce your intake of insecticide
and fertiliser residues.
Use good quality, fresh, ripe fruit and vegetables. Soft vegetables or overripe fruit can
make the juice thick, cloudy, and funny-tasting.
Wash all fruit and vegetables. Use a brush on the harder ones. Remove the outer leaves
on non-organic produce. Peel any non-organic or waxed fruit or vegetables. Cut out
and discard bruises and blemishes as these may affect the taste of the juice.
stalks and leaves
Remove stalks, stems, leaves and fern.
warning rhubarb leaves are poisonous, they contain oxalic acid – they mustn't be
juiced or eaten.
stones
Remove and discard stones, peach pits and other big seeds. Pomegranate seeds,
melon seeds, and small seeds in raspberries, Kiwi fruit and strawberries can be left in.
smelly vegetables
Don't juice anything really strong or pungent, like onions or garlic. No matter how well
you clean your juicer, you'll never get rid of the taste.
apples & pears
Core apples and pears, and discard the cores/seeds – the seeds aren't good for you.
bananas
Don't try to juice bananas – the residue will clog the grating sieve.
oranges, grapefruit and tangerines
Peel oranges, grapefruit and tangerines. The oil in their skins is bitter and difficult to
digest, the pith is bitter.
pomegranates
Remove the skin and pith – they really don't taste nice.
watermelon
Watermelon rind can be left on, but some people find the taste a bit "green". Try a bit
first and see what you think. If you remove the rind you'll miss out on many of the
nutrients, but it's not medicine – it's meant to taste nice.
cut down
Cut fruit and vegetables down so they'll go through the tube. Use the pusher to clear
anything that sticks, to push down the last bits of fruit, and to push down carrots,
celery and other long fruit and veg.
Bunch up leafy greens, parsley, wheat grass and beansprouts into a small tight ball and
push it down the tube with the pusher.
pulp
When you've finished juicing, don't just throw the pulp in the bin. It may still contain a
great deal of goodness. Before you throw it away, think of things like thickening for
soups or stews, pie-fillings, or even the compost heap.
care and maintenance
1 Switch off (0) and unplug before moving, dismantling or cleaning the juicer.
caution take care when handling the grating sieve – it’s sharp.
dismantling
2 Lift the pusher from the tube.
3 Turn the top of the pusher anti-clockwise, to separate the small pusher from the big
one.
4 Pull the bottoms of the clamps away from the motor unit, to release the cover.
5 Lift the cover off, and put it on a plate or in a basin to catch any drips.
6 Grip the edges of the grating sieve, and lift it out of the pulp container.
7 Lift the pulp container off the motor unit.
cleaning
8 Wipe the outside of the motor unit with a clean damp cloth.
9 Wash all the removable parts in warm soapy water, and leave them to drain dry.
10 Don’t put any part of the juicer in a dishwasher.
11 The extreme environment inside the dishwasher can affect the surface finishes.
