Juicing; Tips And Notes - BASETech PC700 Notice D'emploi

b) Juicing
Do not use the juice for more than three minutes at a time. After that, let it cool down for at least
seven minutes. Longer operating times can damage the motor.
Only use the provided pusher (1). Keep fingers and kitchen utensils away from rotating parts.
The juicer features a safety switch. The juicer can only be switched on if the cover (4) and the locking
arm (13) are properly installed. When juicing, make sure the cover is properly installed on the motor
assembly and the locking arm is properly installed on the cover. Never release the locking arm when the
product is switched on.
• Clean fruits/vegetables and, if necessary, cut them into smaller pieces. Refer to "c) Tips and notes" for more
information about suitable food.
• Remove the pusher from the feeder chute.
• Turn the rotary control (16) to 1 for soft fruit/vegetables (low speed), or to 2 for harder fruits/vegetables (high speed).
• Add the fruits or vegetables through the feeder chute.
• Insert the pusher into the feeder chute. The pusher can only be inserted one way. Make sure the recess of the
pusher is perfectly aligned with the lug of the filling hole.
• Push down the pusher slowly and with little pressure in order to generate as much juice as possible. Too much
pressure can cause the centrifugal screen to stop and damage the juicer.
• Turn the rotary control to 0 before adding more fruits/vegetables. Otherwise fruits/vegetables could spurt out.
• Always observe the filling level of both containers in order to avoid overflowing.
An overfilled pulp collector can cause the centrifugal screen to stop.
• If the pulp collector/ juice container is full, turn the rotary control to 0 and release the locking arm. Remove the
cover, centrifugal screen and centrifugal screen holder from the motor assembly. Remove the pulp collector from
the collector mount and empty the collector.
• After juicing, turn the rotary control to 0. Disconnect the mains plug from the wall socket.
• Serve the juice immediately.
c) Tips and notes
• Always juice fresh fruits/vegetables, since they contain more juice. Pineapples, celery, apples, cucumbers, carrots,
spinach, melons, tomatoes and most of the citrus fruits are especially suitable for juicing.
• Starchy fruits such as avocados, bananas, mangos, papayas or similar, or fibrous or hard fruits and vegetables
such as sugar cane or similar are not suitable for juicing.
• Leafy vegetables such as spinach or cabbage should be rolled up before putting them into the filling hole.
• Remove non-edible skin (pineapple, oranges, red beets, etc.). Please keep in mind that thick skin can damage the
juicer. Remove the white skin parts from citrus fruits, as those will add a bitter taste.
• Remove stones or large pips (cherries, peaches, etc.) in order to prevent damage to the centrifugal screen.
• When juicing conical fruits/vegetables, such as carrots, always insert the pointed end first into the feeder chute.
• You should drink the juice immediately after juicing. That way, vitamins are preserved.
• Apple juice turns brown very fast. Drink it immediately after juicing or add a few drops of lemon juice in order to slow
down the process of discoloration.
• When preparing apple juice, keep in mind that the consistency and taste will vary according to the type of apple.
• Thoroughly wash fruits/vegetables to be juiced.
• Cut larger fruits/vegetables into pieces that fit into the filling hole.
