HINTS FOR BEST USE
- Beet greens, parsley, spinach and watercress yield very rich and thick juices. They are very
strong-flavoured and taste best when combined with other fruits or vegetables. Process these
thick, strong-flavoured vegetables first followed by firmer fruits and vegetables, in order to insure
maximum extraction of thick juice.
- Form leafy vegetables into compact balls or rolls before inserting into tube.
- It is not possible to extract juice from avocados or bananas.
- One pound of raw produce usually yields one cup (8 ounces) of juice.
- When working with large quantities of fruits and vegetables, be sure to stop unit to empty Pulp
container as it begins to fill. Empty after approximately 2 pounds of food have been processed for
best results. The filter should also be cleaned, as the extraction will decrease considerably.
- If you desire a clear juice, filter through layers of cheesecloth or a coffeemaker filter.
- To keep juices from discolouring during storage add a few teaspoons of lemon juice or ascorbic
acid powder during storage stage.
- Serve juices immediately as the flavour and nutrient content decreases rapidly when juices are
stored. If it is necessary to juice fruits and vegetables some time before serving cover container
