Frequently Asked Questions - MES4000 VITAJUICE BOSCH

What fruits and vegetables can I use with the Bosch MES4000 juicer?

Use ripe fresh fruits like apples, pears, carrots, cucumbers, watermelons, grapes, tomatoes, raspberries. Avoid particularly hard, fibrous, or starchy fruits like sugar cane, bananas, papayas, avocados, figs, and mangoes.

How to clean the ceramic filter after use?

Start by brushing the filter with a soft brush, then rinse under running water or wash in the dishwasher. For stubborn stains (carrots, beets), apply a little vegetable oil, then wash normally.

What to do if the appliance vibrates abnormally during operation?

Vibrations indicate that the filter is clogged or damaged. Immediately turn off the appliance, unplug it, and check the filter. If it is clogged, clean it; if it is cracked, replace it (ref. 00754210). Never use a damaged filter.

How to empty the pulp container during use?

Turn off the appliance (position 0/off), wait for the motor to stop, then grasp the pulp container by the handle and pivot it outward. Empty it before the pulp reaches the edge of the filter basket.

What is the maximum continuous use time?

For large quantities, never run the appliance for more than 40 seconds at a time. Then turn off and let cool. The total usage time is 10 minutes for all types of fruits and vegetables.

Can I wash the motor unit in the dishwasher?

No, never immerse the motor unit in water and do not wash it in the dishwasher. Wipe it with a damp cloth and a little dish soap, then dry immediately.

Which speed to choose for which foods?

For juicy and tender foods (watermelon, grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers, raspberries): speed 1. For harder foods (carrots, apples): speed 2 (or 3 on 3-speed models).

How to replace the juicer filter?

Replace the filter at the first signs of wear or damage. For daily use, change it approximately every 5 years. Order the replacement filter (ref. 00754210) from Bosch after-sales service.

What to do if the juice does not flow or flows slowly?

Check that the spout closure is open (up position). If so, the filter may be clogged: turn off the appliance, disassemble and clean the filter. Use only ripe fruits to avoid clogging.

Where to find warranty and after-sales service?

Warranty conditions depend on the country of purchase. Contact your dealer or visit the Bosch website for after-sales service contact details. Always keep the proof of purchase.

⚠️ Safety instructions for this appliance

Risk of electric shock!

Risk of injury!

Never immerse the base unit in liquids and do not clean in the dishwasher. Use only the rotary switch to switch the appliance on or off. Before replacing accessories or additional parts, which move during operation, switch off the appliance and disconnect from the power supply. Do not dismantle the appliance until the motor has stopped. The appliance is intended to be used by one person.

Risk of injury!

Caution when closing the catch, otherwise you may trap your fingers. Do not place fingers in the filling shaft.

Use the supplied pusher only!

Do not touch shredding blades/blades on the base of the filter.

First clean the filter with the brush, then rinse under running water or wash in the dishwasher.

Important!

Process ripe and unfrozen fruit and vegetables only.

Fruit and vegetables which are not ripe will block the filter very quickly. Empty the pulp container before the pulp reaches the edge of the filter tray. If the appliance vibrates during the juicing process, the filter is blocked or damaged. Switch off the appliance immediately.

Check the filter. Do not use a damaged filter!

Operation

Fig. B

Assemble

Risk of injury

Do not use the appliance if the power cord and/or appliance are damaged. Before use, always check the entire appliance, in particular the filter and filter tray, for damage (cracks, flaws). Do not touch shredding blades/blades on the base of the filter. Caution when closing the catch, otherwise you may trap your fingers.

• Pull cord out of the cord store to the required length.
• Insert filter tray into the motor unit.
• Insert filter and press down until it clicks into position. The filter must be situated firmly on the drive. Check for damage beforehand!
• Insert the pulp container into the motor unit.
• Attach the cover.
• Swivel catch over the lid until it clicks into position.
• Place juice jug with the spout under the outlet. Place lid on the juice jug to prevent splashes.
• Open lock on the outlet.
• Insert pusher into the filling shaft. Pusher has a guide groove!

Preparing fruit and vegetables

Warning!

Process ripe and unfrozen fruit and vegetables only. Fruit and vegetables which are not ripe will block the filter very quickly.

• First, wash the fruit and vegetables.
• Remove stones from fruit. Remove large stalks.
• Chop up large fruit and vegetables so that they fit the filling shaft.
• Process only fresh fruit and vegetables because they are juicier.
• Peel fruit beforehand if it has thick and hard peel, e.g. pineapples, melons, oranges, grapefruits and raw beetroot. Remove the white skin from citrus fruits as it has a bitter aftertaste.
• The consistency of apple juice depends on the kind of apple used.

The juicier the apples, the thinner the juice. Add a few drops of lemon juice to the apple juice to delay the juice from turning brown.

• Leaves and stems (e.g. stalks from leaf salad) can also be processed in this juicer.
• If possible, drink juice immediately after preparation, as it loses its flavour and nutritional value quickly.
• Starchy fruits (e.g. bananas, papayas, avocados, figs and mangos) are not suitable for juicing in this appliance.

Extracting juice

Risk of injury

Do not place fingers in the filling shaft.

Use the supplied pusher only!

• Place the assembled appliance on a smooth, clean worktop.
• Insert the mains plug.
• Switch on the appliance.

Appliance with 2-setting switch:

• Setting 1 is particularly suitable for fruit/vegetables which contain a lot of juice, e.g. water melons, grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers and raspberries.
• Setting 2 is suitable for hard, firm fruit and vegetables, e.g. carrots.

Appliance with 3-setting switch:

• Setting 1 is particularly suitable for soft fruit/vegetables which contain a lot of juice, e.g. water melons, grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers and raspberries.
• Setting 2 is suitable for slightly harder fruit/vegetables which contain less juice, e.g. soft pears, apricots.
• Setting 3 is suitable for hard and firm fruit and vegetables, e.g. carrots, apples.

Do not use the appliance for more than 10 minutes for all kinds of fruit and vegetables e.g. carrots, cucumbers, apples and pears.

If processing fairly large quantities, never use the appliance for longer than 40 seconds. Then switch off appliance and leave to cool down.

• When the motor is running, put fruit/vegetables in the filling shaft.
• Only use the pusher when adding more ingredients. Never insert fingers into the filling shaft!

Apply only light pressure to the pusher. This increases juice yield and protects the appliance.

- Switch off the appliance.

Move the switch to 0/off.

Do not switch off the appliance until all the juice has run out.

Warning!

Before opening the appliance, wait until the motor has stopped.

Important information

• Empty the pulp container before the pulp reaches the edge of the filter tray.
• If the appliance vibrates during the juicing process, the filter is blocked or damaged. Switch off the appliance immediately.

Check the filter. Do not use a damaged filter!

Emptying the pulp container and filter

Fig. C
