Frequently Asked Questions - JE-1187 Salton

How do I assemble the Salton JE-1187 juicer?

Place the motor base on a flat surface. Attach the pulp container, then fit the filter basket onto the drive shaft. Lock the lid in place with the safety arm. Finally, place the juice jug under the spout.

Can I juice whole fruits without cutting them?

No, you should cut fruits and vegetables into pieces that fit the feeding tube (max 50 mm). Remove pits and hard seeds to avoid damaging the filter.

How do I clean the juicer after use?

Unplug the unit. Disassemble all parts. Rinse the filter basket under running water and use the cleaning brush to remove pulp. All removable parts are dishwasher safe (top rack). Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth.

Why is the juicer not starting?

Check that the safety locking arm is properly engaged. Ensure the juice jug and pulp container are correctly positioned. If it still doesn't start, check the power cord and outlet.

What is the maximum operating time?

Do not operate the juicer continuously for more than 2 minutes. Allow it to cool down for at least 2 minutes between cycles to prevent motor overload.

Can I juice leafy greens like spinach?

Yes, but for best results, roll leafy greens into a ball and push gently with the plunger. Alternatively, combine with harder vegetables like celery.

How do I select the correct speed?

Use low speed (1) for soft fruits like berries and tomatoes. Use high speed (2) for hard fruits and vegetables like apples, carrots, and beets.

What should I do if the juicer vibrates excessively?

Stop the juicer immediately. Check that the filter basket is properly seated and not damaged. Ensure the pulp container is not overfilled. Also, make sure the unit is on a stable, level surface.

Can I process frozen fruits?

No, do not juice frozen fruits as they can damage the motor and filter. Thaw them completely before juicing.

How do I store the juicer?

Ensure all parts are dry before storing. Keep the juicer in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. Store the filter basket separately to prevent deformation.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE JUICER

2. Place the Stainless Steel Strainer Basket inside the Juice Collector. Twist the Strainer Basket and gently push down until it is seated in the Juice Collector. NOTE: The top edge of the Strainer Basket should not be higher than the edge of the Juice Collector when properly installed.
3. Place the Pulp Chute/Juicer Cover on the top so that the opening of the Pulp Chute is on the side opposite the Spout.
4. Lock the Pulp Chute/Juicer Cover into position by raising the Locking Bar until it clicks into the grooves located on both side of the Pulp Chute/Juicer Cover. NOTE: Push the Locking Bar until it is fully upright otherwise the Juicer will not operate.
5. Align the groove in the Food Pusher with the small protrusion on the inside of the Feed Tube.
6. Slide the Pulp Container into position under the Pulp Chute.
7. If the Froth Separator is not in the Juice Jug, slide between the tabs inside the Juice Jug. If you prefer to have juice with froth then the Froth Separator is not required

HOW TO PREPARE FRUIT AND VEGETABLES FOR JUICING

1. Wash fruits and vegetables.
2. Peel fruits that have inedible skins such as citrus fruits, pineapple, melons, papaya, etc.
3. Pit all fruits with hard seeds or stones such as peaches, nectarines, cherries, etc.
4. Most fruits and vegetables such as apples, carrots and cucumbers will not need to be cut. If the pieces are too big for the Feed Tube slice the fruit or vegetables before starting to juice.

HOW TO JUICE

1. Assemble the Juicer. The Juice Jug or a glass can be placed below the spout to collect juice.
2. Plug the power cord into a 120V power outlet.
3. Choose either 'Hi' or 'Lo' speed on the Rocker Switch depending on the type of fruit or vegetable that is being juiced. Never put any fruit or vegetables in the juicer until power is turned on. Soft fruit or vegetables, such as berries, melons, cucumber, tomatoes, etc. should be juiced on Lo speed. Harder fruit and vegetables such as apples, celery, carrots, etc. should be juiced at 'Hi' speed.
4. With the motor running, place food into the Feed Tube. Using the Food Pusher, gently guide food down the Feed Tube. To Extract the maximum amount of juice, always push the Food Pusher down slowly. IMPORTANT: DO NOT PLACE HANDS OR FOREIGN OBJECTS DOWN THE FEED TUBE. ALWAYS USE THE FOOD PUSHER
5. If the Pulp Container is full it can be emptied during juicing. Turn the Juicer Off and remove the Pulp Container by holding onto the Feed Tube and tilting the juicer slightly to disengage the Pulp Container. Empty the Pulp Container. Replace by sliding the Pulp Container into position under the Pulp Chute.
6. The froth separator in the Juice Jug will eliminate froth being poured into the glass. If you prefer to have juice with froth, simply remove the froth separator attachment from the Juice Jug before juicing.

IMPORTANT: When juicing on 'Hi' Speed do not run the juicer for longer than 5 minutes then allow to rest for 2 minutes before you resume juicing.

HELPFUL HINTS

• A small amount of lemon juice can be added to apple juice to prevent browning.
• Do not use bananas or avocados as they do not contain juice and will clog the juicer.
• Allow the juicer to run for one minute before turning 'Off' to allow any excess juice to be extracted from the pulp.
• A plastic bag can be put in the pulp container for easy clean-up.
• Disassemble the Juicer and rinse off the pulp immediately after juicing. The Strainer Basket/Cutting Blades can be soaked in water to loosen the pulp. Then wash in warm soapy water.
• Wash parts immediately after use to avoid discolouration of the plastic parts which may occur with some fruits and vegetables.
• If juicing herbs or leafy green vegetables process in combination with other fruits or vegetables to yield more juice.

Motor stalls when juicing	Push the Food Pusher down slowly so that wet pulp does not build up under the Pulp Chute/Juicer Cover. Choose Hi speed instead of Lo speed.
Excess pulp building up in filter	Alternate soft and hard fruit and vegetables
Pulp too wet	Use Lo speed. Check to be sure that the holes in the mesh filter are not blocked. If they are blocked follow #5 in the How to Clean section.
Juice leaks between the rim of the Juicer and Pulp Chute/Juicer Cover	Use Lo speed. Fruits and vegetables with a high water content should be juiced on Lo speed.
