Sunbeam are very safety conscious when

designing and manufacturing consumer products, but it is
essential that the product user also exercise care when
using an electrical appliance. Listed below are precautions
which are essential for the safe use of an electrical
appliance:

• Read carefully and save all the instructions provided
with an appliance.

• Always turn the power off at the power outlet before you
insert or remove a plug. Remove
by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.

• Turn the power off and remove the plug
when the appliance is not in use and
before cleaning.

• Do not use your appliance with an extension cord unless
this cord has been checked
and tested by a qualified technician or
service person.

• Always use your appliance from a power
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked
on the appliance.

• Close supervision is necessary when your appliance is
being used near children or
infirm persons.

• Never leave an appliance unattended while
in use.

• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.

• Do not use an appliance for any purpose
other than its intended use.

• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas flame,
electric element or on a heated oven. Do not place on
top of any other appliance.

• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang over the
edge of a table or bench top or touch any hot surface.

• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance
by unskilled persons, some appliances are ‘sealed’ using
tamperproof screws. Such appliances should always be
returned to the nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service
Centre
for adjustment or repair if required.

• Do not operate any electrical appliance with a damaged
cord or after the appliance has been dropped or
damaged in any manner. If damage is suspected,
return the appliance to the nearest Sunbeam Appointed
Service Centre
for examination, repair or adjustment.

• For additional protection, Sunbeam recommend the
use of a residual current device (RCD) with a tripping
current not exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit
supplying power to your appliances.

• Do not immerse the appliance in water
or any other liquid unless recommended.

If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance, please visit www.sunbeam.com.au

or contact the Sunbeam Consumer Service Line. Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR JUICE EXTRACTOR.

• Do not put fingers or other objects into the feed chute
whilst the juicer is in operation.

• Do not push fruit or vegetables into the feed chute with
your fingers, always use the food pusher provided.

• If any fruit or vegetables become lodged in the feed
chute, use the food pusher or turn off the juicer, remove
the plug from the power outlet and disassemble to
remove the lodged fruit or vegetables.

• Never operate without pulp container.

• Ensure the juicer is correctly and completely assembled
before turning the appliance ‘On’.

• Ensure the juicer cover is clamped securely and pulp
container is in place before juicer is turned on. Do not
unfasten the twin-locking handles while the juicer is in
operation.

• Juicing blades are very sharp, handle juicing filter
basket with care when removing, replacing and
cleaning.

• Always operate the juicer on a flat, level surface.

• Do not operate for more than 20 seconds at a time
when juicing heavy loads. None of the recipes in this
manual are considered a heavy load.

Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions

Food pusher

Whole fruit & vegetable feed chute

The extra large 75mm diameter feed chute takes whole
fruit and vegetables reducing the amount of preparation for
healthy juices with minimal fuss.

Patent pending feed chute lever

Ensures a controlled and safe juicing action. The lever
suspends the fruit above the blade until you are ready
to apply downward pressure with the food pusher and
commence juicing.

Juicer cover

Juice collector

Twin-locking handles with safety braking system

4-second braking system provides essential safety. The
blades come to a complete stop, either when the juicing
switch is turned ‘Off’ or the twin-locking levers are
released.

Control switch with two speeds and off

Two speed control for optimum juicing results. Low speed
for soft fruit, particularly those with a high water content,
for instance oranges and watermelon. High speed is ideal
for hard and fibrous fruit and vegetables such as apples,
ginger and beetroot.

Cord wrap

Cord wraps away to keep bench top clean.

Non-slip feet

Heavy-duty non-slip feet ensure the juicer remains stable
and prevents slipping on the bench top during use.

Helpful hints for juicing

Preparing fruit and vegetables

Wash all fruit and vegetables well before juicing. There
is no need to peel vegetables that have a thin skin but
a light scrub with a clean sponge will help rid of any
dirt that may be stuck on or any waxy coatings.

Peel fruit and vegetables that have a thick skin such as
melons, pineapple and citrus fruit.

Juice only the freshest of fruit and vegetables to get the
most out them and the best flavours.

Cut large pieces of fruit, such as melons into large
wedges.

Some seeds from citrus fruits can be bitter so you may
want to remove some of the seeds if desired.

Remove seeds and stones from fruit such as mangoes,
papaya and stone fruit. This will prevent the blade from
getting damaged.

Juicing techniques

When juicing different fruit and vegetables it may help
to juice in different combinations. For example, when
juicing apples and oranges, juice the soft fruit (oranges)
first, then follow with the hard fruit (apples) second.
This will help you to achieve the maximum juice
extraction from the fruit and vegetables.

When juicing fresh herbs such as mint or parsley, add
the herbs in between the fruit and vegetables to get the
most out of the herb or if only using a small quantity,
add the herb at the same time as a piece of fruit and
vegetable.

Bananas can be hard to juice but the taste goes a long
way. When juicing a blend of fruit with bananas, add
the banana as either the first or second piece of fruit.
The nectar of the banana will sit inside the filtering
basket and as the remaining fruits are added into the
juice extractor they will release the banana nectar
throughout the rest of the juice resulting in frothy
flavoursome juice.

When juicing small fruit such as grapes or strawberries,
add the fruit in handfuls rather than one at a time, this
will maximise the amount of juice extracted.

Be aware that beetroot stains all other fruit and
vegetables. If juicing several different juice
combinations, juice the drink with the beetroot last, so
as to not stain the other drinks.
