Instruction Manual
We are very pleased that you chose this product and would like to thank you for your confidence. To make
sure you will have lots of pleasure with your new Juice Extraction Top please observe the following notes
carefully, keep this instruction manual for future reference and pass it on to any user.
Important Instructions
The Juice Extraction Top is no separate appliance and can only be operated in combination with an auto-
preserving cooker to match which has a juice-making setting.
Please pay attention to the respective instructions in the operation manual of your auto-preserving cooker.
Make sure there is always sufficient water in the cooker during the entire process of juice making.
Preparing Fruits
The riper the fruits are, the more juice you will obtain and the more aromatic it will be. Fruits are to be
washed quickly and thoroughly. The amount of sugar needed depending on the recipe is added to the fruits
into the fruit container before making juice.
Fruit juices which are processed to jelly should be
extracted without adding any sugar. Fruit juices which are to be diluted must receive a larger quantity of
sugar.
The following guide is an indication:
add 100 - 150 gr of sugar to 1 kg of sweet fruits
add 200 - 250 gr of sugar to 1 kg of sour fruits
Preparing The Bottles
The bottles are cleaned thoroughly and rinsed in hot and clear water. You can preheat them in hot water or
in the oven at 75°C prior to filling. Boil the corks and rubber caps needed and put them into clear water
until capping the bottles.
Operation
1. For one juice-making operation fill at least 6 litres of water into your cooker (1).
2. Place fitting ring (2) in such a way on cooker that the gap for the outlet tube is up at the front side.
3. Place the juice collection container (5) on the fitting ring with the outlet tube (4) pointing to the front.
4. Insert the fruit container (6) in the juice collection container and fill in the food prepared for juice making.
Fill the fruit basket no more than 3/4, independent of the weight, and close the lid (7). Both walls and
bottom of the fruit container have holes so that steam can flow unhindered from all sides. This releases the
juice of fruits, vegetables or herbs, so that it runs through the holes of the fruit basket, collects in the juice
collection container and can easily be filled into bottles through the outlet tube and the tube fastener (3).
After these preparations you just need to position your cooker on continuous setting ‚Entsaften' (juice
extraction), and you can start making your own juices right away.
Juice Making Operation
At first the entire system needs to be preheated. With a content of 6 litres of cold water it will take about 25
minutes for the appliance to heat up.
Note: Preheating time is respectively shorter with the second juice making operation or when filling in hot
water.

Filling The Juice
The juice has to be filled into the prepared bottles immediately as it will be germfree only when above a
temperature of 75°C. Lead the outlet tube into the neck of the bottle and open the tube fastener so that the
fruit juice can run into the bottle. The tube fastener is kept open until the bottle is full to the brim, the
developing froth can spill over. The bottles are closed immediately upon filling and should cool in upright
position at a non-draughty place. Following that they are labelled and stored in upright position in a cool
room.
Further Instructions
The material used for the fruit basket is composed of an excellently qualified synthetic. It is a material
which was assessed as completely harmless for food by the Federal German Public Health Department
(BGA). The colourings used in the synthetic are also free from lead and cadmium. This also applies to the
fitting ring and the lid.
The fruit basket has the recycling mark for materials and is non-problematic in disposal. Due to the food's
colour agents and the fruit acids the surface of the fruit basket may get a slightly different tone, but this is
no quality flaw.
The surface of the fruit basket is smooth and can therefore be cleaned without any problems. Do
absolutely avoid scouring agents as they will make the surface rough and prone to getting dirty.
