PRACTICAL TIPS

1- Choose fresh fruits and vegetables and wash them thoroughly.
This machine has been designed to juice fruits and vegetables with high water content,
such as:
Hard fruits and vegetables: apples, pears, carrots, celery, pineapples, peaches, etc.
Soft fruits and vegetables: mandarin oranges, tomatoes, kiwis, oranges, grapes, watermelon,
etc.
– Hard, fibrous fruits and vegetables must be cut into pieces within 2 to 4 cm in size, and
between 1 to 2 cm thick.
– For hard fruits and vegetables with long fibres and leafy vegetables (such as celery), stems
should be cut into pieces within 2 to 4 cm long, and leaves should be rolled up before juicing.
– For fruits and vegetables with thick skins, or hard pits or seeds, the skins, pits and seeds should
be removed before juicing.
– Frozen fruits and vegetables must be thawed before juicing.
2- For Ice Cream and Coulis functions :
– Fruits that can be made into ice-cream in this machine: Remove the skins from bananas, cut
the bananas into pieces of around 2 cm in size, place them in the freezer for at least 4 hours.
– Fruits that can be made into jams and purees in this machine: strawberries, tomatoes,
chillies.
3- For best juicing results, adjust the juicing strength according to the hardness of the
fruits and vegetables by turning the adjustment lever.
For soft fruits and vegetables, turn the lever clockwise to the "Close" position；
For hard fruits and vegetables, turn the lever anti-clockwise to the "Open" position.
4- Inserting hard ingredients can block the appliance. If this happens, use the Reverse function
for a few seconds.
To use Reverse function, push Reverse button (L) for 4 seconds.
If it stays blocked:
– Open the cover (B), clean the juicing screw (C) and the filter (D) and then re-assemble
– Cut the ingredients into smaller pieces.
5- Add the fruits and vegetables into the juicer sequentially. Add the next batch only after the
previous batch has been processed.
• For better juicing effect, juice low-fibre fruits and vegetables like carrots together with fibrous
fruits and vegetables like celery.
• When juicing carrots, cut each carrot lengthwise into 4 pieces.
• Fruits and vegetables that are not entirely fresh have lower water contents, and will produce
less juice.
• When juicing fruits and vegetables that have been left in the refrigerator for a few days, soak
them in water to allow them to absorb an adequate amount of water before juicing.
• Kudzu, sugar canes and other fruits and vegetables with especially hard fibres cannot be juiced.
• Do not use ice in this machine.
• Do not use this machine for juicing fruits and vegetables with high oil contents.
