5. Ingredient preparation
05
• Certain ingredients will juice better if properly
prepared.
• For best results when juicing larger quantities,
clean the juicer after each 2 lb. of produce.
• For faster juicing and optimal yield, cut
ingredients into smaller pieces.
Citrus fruits
Grapefruit, oranges, lemons, etc.
Prepare the ingredients by peeling and cutting them into
smaller pieces to fit in the hopper. Remove any hard,
unchewable seeds before putting citrus into hopper.
Fruits with thick peels
Pineapples, dragon fruit, melons, pomegranate, etc.
Remove the peel and cut into smaller pieces to fit in the
hopper inlet. Remove all hard, unchewable seeds before
putting into hopper.
Pitted fruit
Peaches, plums, cherries, etc.
Fruit pits or stones, like those found in peaches, plums, or
cherries, can damage a juicer. Please remove the pit or
stone before juicing.
Apple, pear, grapes
Apples and pears can be juiced with the peel. We
recommend cutting them with an apple slicer to remove
the core, as apple and pear seeds contain trace amounts
of cyanide. Please remove grapes from stems before
juicing.
Fine
screen
Coarse
screen
Sorbet
screen
Pineapple, kiwi, tomato, berries, bananas, mango,
etc.
Juicier soft fruits like pineapple or tomato, can be juiced
on their own with the coarse screen. Soft fruits with a
lower juice content, like berries or bananas, should only
be used in smaller quantities as an addition to another
juice.
Carrots, beets, ginger, turmeric, sweet potato, etc.
Thoroughly wash root vegetables like carrots and
beets to remove dirt and any small impacted stones.
For fibrous roots like ginger, peel the outer skin and cut
into small pieces. For best results and faster
processing, cut carrots and beets into smaller pieces.
Celery, kale, wheatgrass, cabbage, spinach, etc.
Cut celery and leafy greens into 2" pieces for best
results. Celery has strong fibers that can wrap around
the auger and clog the pulp outlet if not cut.
How to use each screen
The fine screen has smaller holes and is used with firm
produce. Gives the highest juice yield, with minimal pulp.
The coarse screen has larger holes and juices more gently. It
is used for softer produce, and if you want more pulp in your
juice. It can also be used to make smoothies by mixing juicing
produce with softer ingredients like bananas, berries, or
mangos.
The sorbet screen turns the Sana 878 into a frozen dessert
machine. By using slightly thawed frozen fruit, a wide variety
of frozen treats can be made ranging from fruit ices to creamy
banana or mango based sorbets.
