CARE & CLEANING
• Always ensure that juice processor
is switched off and that the power is
switched off at the power outlet. Then
remove the plug from the power outlet
before cleaning, disassembling or
assembling and storing the appliance.
• Follow these instructions to clean all
surfaces of parts that come into contact
with food during normal use.
• For easy cleaning- immediately after
each use rinse removable parts under
running water. Allow parts to air dry.
• After disassembling the unit (see pages
15–18) all removable parts may be
washed in hot soapy water, then rinse
well and dried.
• The juice processor juice cover, filter
bowl surround, pulp container, puree
disc, stainless steel filter disc and 1.2L
juice jug are dishwasher safe
(Top shelf only).
Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth.
• For consistent juicing results always
ensure that the juice disc is thoroughly
cleaned using the supplied nylon brush.
Using the nylon washing brush, hold
the juice disc under running water and
brush from the inside of the disc, hold
it up towards a light to ensure the fine
mesh holes are not blocked. If the holes
are blocked soak the juice disc in hot
water with 10% lemon juice to loosen the
blocked holes. Alternatively wash the
juice disc in the dishwasher.
• Do not soak either the juice extractor or
the puree extractor in bleach.
• Always treat the juice extractor and
puree extractor with care as they can be
easily damaged.
• 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 10% lemon juice
and water or they can be cleaned with a
non abrasive cleaner.
NOTE
To assist with cleaning soak the
juice disc 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. For your convenience a nylon
cleaning brush has been included with
your juice processor.
HINT
To minimise washing up place a freezer
bag (or plastic grocery bag) into the
pulp container to collect the pulp.
When juicing is completed simply
remove the bag containing the pulp
and place the bag into a bin.

TROUBLESHOOTING
POSSIBLE PROBLEM EASY SOLUTION
Machine will not work
when switched “ON”
• 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 juice
cover (see picture on page 8, step 5).
• Check the Overload Protection Button on the bottom of
the Motor Base to check if the safety device has not been
activated (see Note 3 on page 14 ‘Operating your new
appliance’).
• The Overheating protection device has not been activated
automatically, allow more time for the motor to cool down
(see Note 1 on page 14 ‘Operating your new appliance’).
Motor appears to stall
when juicing
• 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 filter bowl
surround, the juice disc and the juicer cover. Select speed 5
instead of the speed 1 setting.
• The Sage
™
by Heston Blumenthal‰ juice processor will
automatically stop operating if the motor is stalled. This is
a electronic safety feature. Either too much food is being
processed at one time or the pieces are not small enough.
Try trimming food, cutting food into smaller pieces of even

occurs, the light surrounding the START/STOP button will
flash red.
• To continue juicing, reset the Juicer by pressing the START/
STOP button to OFF, then clear the feed chute, finally turn
the appliance back on by pressing the START/STOP button
to ON.
• Hard fruits and vegetables will put excess strain onto the
motor if a low speed is selected. Please refer to the juicing
guide on Page 10, to determine the correct speed for the
fruits and vegetables selected on juicing.
Excess pulp building
up the stainless steel
filter disc
• Stop the juicing process. Remove the juicer cover the
stainless steel scrape off pulp. Re-assemble and begin
juicing again. Try alternating (soft and hard) vegetable and
fruit varieties.
25
PAge heAder.....
TROUBLESHOOTING
POSSIBLE PROBLEM EASY SOLUTION
Pulp too wet and
reduced extracted juice
• Try a slower juicing action. Remove juice disc
(refer page 8) and thoroughly clean mesh walls with a fine
brush. Rinse juice disc under hot water. If the mesh holes
are blocked, soak the juice disc 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.
Juice leaks between the
rim of the juicer cover
and the stainless steel
filter disc
• Try a slower juicing action by pushing the food pusher
down more slowly (refer page 9, step 6). Fruit and
vegetables with a high water content (tomatoes and
watermelon) should be juiced on low speed.

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 fruits 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 FOR JUICER
ATTACHMENT
• If using fruits with hard or inedible
skins such as mangoes, citrus, melons or
pineapple, always peel before juicing.
• Some vegetables, such as cucumbers,
can be processed un-peeled depending
on the softness of the skin and the
juicing requirements.
• All fruits with large pits, 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.
