Speed I (low rotation) is for soft fruits like berries, peaches, and tomatoes. Speed II (high rotation) is for hard fruits and vegetables like apples, carrots, and celery. Using the correct speed optimizes juice quality and prevents clogging.

How does the TURBO function work and when should I use it?

Appliance characteristic

Juice extractor type 496 is an electrical appliance for fast fruit and vegetable juice centrifuging including automatic pulp separation.

The raw material is pulped and then the juice is centrifuged from the pulp. The usage advantages are increased due to the easy and simple operation. Electronic speed stabilizer provides constant rotation speed independent on loading, which allows juice even consistency obtaining. The juice extractor is equipped with 2 centrifuging speeds (for soft and hard fruit), which have been selected to obtain the optimal quality parameters for squeezed juice. Keeping the maximal content of vitamins, pectin, enzymes and minerals causes the lower juice clarity. This is an intended effect, as the juice extractor Manufacturer decided, that keeping the highest nutrient, pro-health and dietetic values of a juice is more important than its clarity. The juice extractor is equipped with special safety system preventing starting it in case of incomplete appliance assembling. The juice extractor is additionally equipped with filter self-cleaning function. After pressing TURBO button the engine operates 1,5÷2 seconds with high rotation. High rotation helps to clean the filter in case the vibration occurring due to excessive pulp accumulation. TURBO function can be used in 10 seconds intervals only. The juice extractor can operate 15 minutes without any break. The quantity of juice obtained from i.e. 1kg of a raw material, depends on its freshness, as well as on filter cleanness and pulping blade condition.

Fruit and vegetable juices preparation

fruit and vegetables for juice extraction, should be fresh and washed carefully. Vegetables should be cleaned from sand and soil with running water and peeled. Publications concerning juice preparation, recommend to deep the vegetables into water with salt and citric acid for 5 minutes. Such prepared vegetables do not get darker during processing and their juice has natural colour.
Berry fruits should be washed directly before using, so that they do not lose their freshness.
The selection of fruit and vegetables depends on the season of the year, taste likes or health recommendations. The way of preparation influences the nutritive value.
Juices should be made of juicy kinds of fruits and vegetables, which should be ripe and fresh, to get the juice of the perfect flavour and fragrance.
The following vegetables are good for juice preparation: tomatoes, carrots, celeries, beetroots, parsley, onions, cabbages, cucumbers, black turnip, rhubarb, etc. You can also prepare juice of lettuce, spinach, leek and other vegetables as part of diet.
The following vegetables can be added to juices chopped: radish, chives, green parsley, dill, cress.
Fruit juice can be made of almost all kinds of fruit.
apples, peaches, apricots and plums should be blanched with boiling water on the strainer.
Remove the stones from the fruit, which have it, to prevent damages of the juice extractor.
Juice extracting of plums, blueberries, soft pears, apples or other fruit is inconvenient. The flesh of these fruit becomes a spongy pulp, which blocks the filter holes. You can use these fruit mixing a small amount of them with other fruit or vegetables, it is also necessary to clean the filter more often.
You can extract a small amount of grapes juice, but it is necessary to put whole bunch to the chute after removing ligneous stalk.
- cut the radical vegetables and hard fruit into pieces small enough for the chute. Cut the apples into pieces (if they are not small enough to put them whole into the chute) without peeling and removing seed cavity.

But the fruit or vegetables into the chute after you start up the juice extractor.
case the product is blocked in the chute or on the filter pulping blade, use the TURBO function. If the problem still exists, switch the appliance off, disassemble and clean.
The fresh juice nutritive value is close to fruit and vegetables nutritive value, but part of fibre is eliminated during juice centrifuging process. That is why the juice can be consumed by people, who can not eat raw vegetables due to digestions problems.
- juice drinks are specially recommended for children and elderly people nourishment.
is recommended to have a small amount of water while drinking vegetable juices, which are very strong. If the juices are not diluted, a daily dose should not exceed a half of glass.
Fruit juices are easier to digest so it is possible to drink a big amount of them: 3 up to 4 glasses per day between meals.
Juices should be consumed immediately after preparing, and drunk in sips. When drinking juice slowly, it mixes with saliva, which makes digestion easier. Drunk too fast and in too big quantity the juice is not properly absorbed.
You should not mix fruit with vegetables apart from apples. Melon juice shouldn't be mixed with other fruit juices.
You shouldn't store juice for later consumption.
vegetable juices can be diluted with lukewarm, boiled water, mineral water, milk, whey, sweeten, or flavoured another way.
