To minimise cleaning, line the pulp
container with a plastic freezer bag to
collect the pulp. Pulp can then be used
for other dishes, or as compost for
gardens or discard.
NOTE
To include the froth with your juice,
simply remove the lid of the juice jug
when pouring juice into the glass.
NOTE
The juicer is fitted with a safety device
which safeguards against overheating
with excessive loads. If overheating
occurs, the juicer will automatically
activate the overload protection
device and the unit will switch itself
off. When the overload protection is
activated, unplug the Juicer from the
power outlet for at least 15 minutes to
allow the unit to cool. Then plug juicer
into the power outlet and use
as normal.

is correctly disassembled.
FOR EASIER CLEANING:
• 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. Allow parts to air dry.
NOTE
To minimise cleaning, line the pulp
container with a plastic freezer bag to
collect the pulp. Pulp can then be used
for other dishes, or as compost for the
garden or discarded.
Wash all parts in warm soapy water with
a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
NOTE
The filter bowl surround, juicing
jug and lid, food pusher and pulp
container, are dishwasher safe (top
shelf only). The juice cover is not
dishwasher safe.
CLEANING THE FILTER BASKET
• For consistent juicing results always
ensure that the stainless steel filter
basket is thoroughly cleaned using the
supplied cleaning brush.
• Soak the stainless steel filter basket
in hot soapy water for approximately
10 minutes immediately after juicing
is completed. If pulp is left to dry on
the filter it may clog the fine pores of
the filter mesh 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
Do not use abrasive scouring pads or
cleaners when cleaning the parts or
motor base as they may scratch the
surface.
17
CARE & CLEANING
Do not soak the stainless steel filter basket
in bleach or other abrasive cleansers.
Always treat the filter basket with care as it
can be easily damaged.
NOTE
The stainless steel filter basket is
dishwasher safe (top shelf only).
CLEANING THE JUICE JUG
• Rinse the juice jug and lid with froth
attachment under running water.
• Wash both parts in warm soapy
water with a soft cloth. Rinse and
dry thoroughly.
REMOVING STUBBORN OR STRONG
FOOD STAINS AND ODOURS
Discolouration of the plastic may occur with
strongly coloured fruit and vegetables. To
help prevent this, wash parts immediately
after use. If discolouration does occur, the
plastic parts can be soaked in water with
10% lemon juice or they can be cleaned with
a non abrasive cleaner.

TROUBLESHOOTING
POSSIBLE PROBLEMEASY 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.
