Preparing the fruits/vegetables
• Important: Use only well ripened fruit, as other-
wise the filter
d
could become quickly blocked.
This would require repeated cleaning of the filter
d
.
• Wash or peel the fruits/vegetables that you wish
to process.
• Large seeds or stones should always be removed
before filling the appliance.
• Stone fruit (such as apples, pears) can be pro-
cessed with the skin and seed centres. Remove
all other stones (peaches, plums etc.), all large
seeds (melons etc.) and stalks to avoid possible
damage to the appliance.
• Fruits and vegetables with thick peels (e.g. citrus
fruits, melons, kiwis, beets) must always be peeled
first.
• The main stalk is to be removed from grapes.
• Cut the fruit or vegetables into pieces that are
sized to fit into the loading shaft
w
.
Note:
Raisins are not suitable for juicing as they contain
too little juice. Rhubarb or other fibrous vegetables/
fruits are not suitable for juicing as the fibres block
the juice extractor.
Juicing
Warning:
DO NOT operate the juice extractor for longer than
30 minutes (CO-Time) without a break. After 30 mi-
nutes of continuous use allow the juice extractor to
cool down. Otherwise the appliance could be
damaged.
1. Switch the appliance on at the On/Off switch
o
.
For fruit varieties that contain a lot of juice (e.g.
grapes, melons, tomatoes) use speed setting I.
For drier fruits (e.g. carrots, apples, peas) select
speed level II.
2. Hold the stodger
q
in one hand and feed the
fruit and vegetable pieces with the other hand
into the loading shaft
w
. ALWAYS use the stodger
q
to carefully press the fruit/vegetable pieces
into the loading shaft
w
. Whilst the loaded fruit/
vegetables are being processed, insert further
pieces into the loading shaft. Do not switch the
appliance off.
Warning:
NEVER insert your hands or other objects into the
loading shaft
w
when working with the appliance.
This could lead to grave personal injuries and/or
serious damage to the appliance.
Note:
To avoid fruit or vegetables becoming blocked in
the loading shaft
w
, only fill it when the appliance
is switched on. Should fruit or vegetable pieces be-
come stuck in the loading shaft
w
and they cannot
be promptly freed with the stodger
q
, proceed as
follows to avoid damage to the appliance:
• Immediately switch the appliance off and remove
the power plug
i
from the wall socket.
• Loosen the clasps
r
and remove the housing
lid
e
.
• Remove the fruit or vegetable pieces causing the
blockage.
• Reassemble the appliance and continue with
juice extraction.
3. Always switch the appliance off immediately
after all of the fruit/vegetables have been
processed.
