container with a plastic freezer bag to
collect the pulp. Pulp can then be used
in other dishes or as compost for the
garden or discarded.

CLEANING THE MOTOR BASE

1. Wipe the motor base with a soft,

damp cloth then dry thoroughly.

2. Wipe any excess food particles from

the power cord.

NOTE

Do not use abrasive scouring pads
or cleaners when cleaning the parts or

CLEANING THE JUICE DISC

For consistent juicing results always ensure
that the juice disc is thoroughly cleaned
using the supplied cleaning brush.

1. 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.

2. Using the cleaning brush, hold the

juice disc 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 juice disc. After cleaning the

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
juicer cover.

Motor appears to stall
when juicing

• 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 juice disc 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 to OFF then turn the
appliance back on by pressing ON/OFF switch 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 to determine the correct speed for the fruits and
vegetables selected for juicing.

Excess pulp building
up the stainless steel
filter disc

• 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) vegetable and fruit varieties.

Pulp too wet and
reduced extracted
juice

• Try a slower juicing action.

• Remove juice disc and thoroughly clean mesh walls with a

cleaning brush. Rinse the juice disc under hot water. If the
fine mesh holes are blocked, soak the basket 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

• Try a slower juicing speed and push the food pusher down

the feed chute more slowly.

• Use juice jug and lid provided, or if juicing into a glass use

the custom designed juice nozzle.

• Try using fruits with more water content to help flush

through the contents. Additionally, try a slower juicing
action by feeding one piece in at a time and by pushing
the food pusher down more slowly.

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.

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.
