TROUBLESHOOTING
POSSIBLE PROBLEM EASY SOLUTION
Machine will not work when switched ON
Motor appears to stall when juicing
Excess pulp building up in the stainless steel filter basket
• 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.
• 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 more slowly. Follow Disassembling and Cleaning instructions and clean the filter bowl surround, the stainless steel filter basket and the juicer cover.
• The juicer will automatically stop operating if the motor
is stalled for more than 10 seconds. Either too much food is being processed at one time or the pieces are not small enough. Try trimming the food or cutting into smaller pieces of even size and processing a smaller amount per batch. To continue juicing, reset the juicer by pressing the ON/OFF switch on the control panel back to OFF then turn the appliance back on by pressing ON/OFF switch to ON.
• 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.
• 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 unlock the holes or wash in the dishwasher. This will remove excess fibre build up (from fruit and vegetables) which could be inhibiting the flow.

TIPS ON JUICING
THE INSIDE INFORMATION ON JUICING
Although the juice drinks contained in this booklet were developed with flavour, 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 healthy 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 fruit and vegetable juices, you have complete control over what is included. Select the ingredients and decide if you need to add sugar, salt or other flavouring agents after juicing. Freshly extracted juices should be consumed immediately after they have been processed 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. 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 tomatoes, 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, guava, 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 piths, hard seeds
or stones such as nectarines, peaches, mangoes, apricots, plums and cherries must be pitted before juicing.
• Ensure vegetables such as beetroot,
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 juicer
but remove the skin and excess pith before juicing.
• A small amount of lemon juice
can be added to apple juice to reduce discolouration.
NOTE
Your juicer makes invigorating, frothy orange juice. Simply peel the oranges and remove any excess pith before juicing. It is best to refrigerate oranges before juicing.
21
TIPS ON JUICING
THE RIGHT TECHNIQUE
When juicing a variety of ingredients with varying textures, start with the softer texture ingredients on low speed and then gradually change to high speed for the harder textured ingredients.
If you are juicing herbs, sprouts or other leafy green vegetables, either wrap them together to form a bundle or juice them in the middle of a combination of ingredients on low speed to obtain the best extraction.
NOTE
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 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.
To extract the maximum amount of juice always push the food pusher down slowly.
USING THE PULP
The remaining pulp left after juicing fruit and vegetables is mostly fibre and cellulose which, like the nutrients in juice, are 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.
There are a number of recipes contained in this book for the use of pulp. Apart from these, pulp can be used to add bulk to rissole mixtures, thicken casseroles or soups, or with fruit pulp, simply place in a heat-proof bowl, top with meringue and bake in the oven for a simple dessert.
Apart from consumption use, pulp is great to create compost for the garden.
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.
GETTING THE RIGHT BLEND
It is easy to create great tasting juice. If you have been making your own vegetable or fruit juices, then you know how simple it is to invent new combinations. Taste, colour, texture and ingredient preferences are a personal choice. Think of some 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 to combine starchy, pulpy fruit and vegetables with those high in moisture.
