Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR

SUNBEAM SLOW JUICER.

• 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.

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.

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.

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

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

• Make sure the juicer body is securely fastened before the appliance is turned ‘On’.

• Be sure to turn the power switch to ‘Off’ position after every use of the juicer.

• Do not operate with covers removed.

• Do not touch moving parts.

• Do not operate for more than 13 minutes at a time.

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

• Never leave an appliance unattended while in use.

• 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.

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

Assembling your Sunbeam Juice Life

Before Use

After unpacking your Sunbeam Juice Life Juicer, we recommend that you disassemble the unit before using for the first time. Wash all parts except the motor body in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry immediately.

Important: Always ensure your juicer is unplugged from the power outlet when not in use, during assembling or whilst removing parts.

1. Insert the juicing screw into the juicer body, figure 8.

2. Then, add the following, figure 9;

3. Set the motor body on a dry, level surface. Make sure the power cord is unplugged during assembly.

4. Insert the juicer body and its gear shaft into the motor body. Then lock the juicer body by turning the locking nut clockwise, figure 10.

[Insert drawing]

5. Insert the hopper onto the top of the juicer body chute and slide both the juice (small) and the pulp (bigger) containers underneath the juicer body. The juice container sits closest to the motor, figure 11.

a. Juice strainer (or blank strainer).

b. The strainer cap. Tighten it by turning it

to the left or anti-clockwise.

c. Finally, add the juicing end nozzle (the

one with the green washer) or any of the other seven end nozzles. Tighten by turning left or anti-clockwise.

Helpful Hints for Juicing

• The Sunbeam Juice Life juices wheatgrass, leafy greens and herbs, fruit and vegetables.

• Never force the food pusher down the chute with heavy pressure. Heavy downward pressure may bend the steel juicer screw shaft. Such heavy pressure indicates that

1) the feed chute is overfilled, or 2) the juicer body is clogged. Try the reverse button or clean out the juicer body. Put less food in the chute.

• Choose the best end of the vegetable to insert first. Some vegetables, such as wheatgrass, juice more easily if the tips are inserted first. Other green vegetables such as parsley are best inserted with their bottoms or stalks first. Test which end of your vegetable works best.

• Some vegetable parts, such as the leaves of beets, are very bitter, whereas the beet roots are very sweet. When experimenting with unusual vegetables taste them first and be selective.

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

• Juice only the freshest produce to get the most out them and the best flavours.

• Wheatgrass can be alternated with other greens, such as celery, spinach, or cabbage for those who prefer to moderate its strong taste.

• Alternate hard-to-juice fruits and vegetables with ones that are softer and easier-tojuice.

• Juice can be successfully stored for onetwo days by chilling it just above freezing and refrigerating it inside a pre-chilled thermos. But whenever possible, for best results, drink juice right away.

• Think of fresh squeezed juice as your vitamin and mineral supplementation. Drink juice daily.

• 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.

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

• Remove seeds and stones from fruit such as mangoes, papaya and stone fruit.

• 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, and 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.

• 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.
