4. Using the Juicer
You can use the juicer to get juice from practically all fruits and vegetables, whether they are hard or soft. However,
you will not manage to extract juice from bananas, coconuts, avocado pears, blackberries, figs and aubergines.
4 A - STARTING UP THE JUICER
1. Lock the side safety clips (H) and lid (C) securely.
2. Cut the fruit or vegetables into pieces and remove stones. See section below “P4 - Practical hints on using your
Juicer” for more details on preparation.
3. Place a glass under the spout to collect the juice.
4. Make certain that the spout is in the low position (fig 1).
5. Plug in the appliance.
6. Start up the juicer by pressing the switch (I).
7. Select the speed to correspond to the fruit (see table below) using button (J).
8. Remove the pusher and insert the fruit or vegetables in pieces through the funnel.
You must insert fruit and vegetables with the motor running.
9. Use the pusher to push the food down but do not force it. Do not use any other utensil. Above all, DO NOT USE
YOUR FINGERS to push the food. The juice will flow into the glass through the spout while the pulp will collect
in the pulp container.
10. Once your glass is full, stop the appliance and push the spout up into the raised position again (fig 2).
11. Once the pulp container looks full or the flow of juice slows down, empty the pulp container using the handle of
the brush (O) and clean the filter with the brush, if necessary.
12. When you have finished using the appliance, you are advised to clean the accessories straight away using the
brush (O) so that food does not dry onto them. Apart from the body of the appliance, you can put all these
accessories in the dishwasher (top basket).
Cleaning – Foods which stain plastics : Over time the strong coloured natural juices from food such as carrots
and beetroot may stain the plastic parts of your appliance - this is normal. These parts may be cleaned by
soaking them in mild bleach (non abrasive) straight after use.

(*) The quality and quantity of the juice obtained will vary considerably according to the date of harvest and the
variety of each vegetable or fruit. The quantities of juice shown above therefore provide only a rough guide.
4 B - PRACTICAL HINTS ON USING YOUR JUICER
1. Choose fresh, ripe fruit and vegetables.
2. Carefully wash the fruit and vegetables before cutting them and removing the stones.
3. Peel thick-skinned fruit such as citrus fruits (as the peel is bitter) and pineapples (plus the core).
