INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing our product. In doing so, you have opted for an effective highperformance appliance. The Slow Juicer is a new type of low-speed slow grinder for fruit and vegetables. This new Juicer has two separate outlets for the juice and the pulp. The method of extraction is masticating and pressing, using the screw-like screw much like a mortar and pestle. The action tears open the food’s cell membranes and releases its deep-seated nutrients and enzymes. It also releases more phytonutrients, resulting in a richer coloured juice that retains more vitamins and minerals. The slow revolutions per minute ensure that it does not disrupt the cellular structure of fruit and vegetables, eliminating oxidation and separation. It consequently preserves the natural form of precious enzymes and nutrients, even from wheatgrass, soy and leafy greens. If the instructions on the correct use of this appliance are not observed, the manufacturer shall assume no responsibility for any resulting damage. The operating instructions may refer to different models: any difference is clearly identified.

USING YOUR JUICER ASSEMBLING THE JUICER Before you assemble the juicer, ensure that the power cord is unplugged and take care that the main juicer body and all other parts are clean. See other details in “Cleaning and Maintenance” section. To assemble the juicer:

Assemble the filter wiper, the filter and the screw (PICTURE A). Insert the filter wiper into the filter, then place the filter fixing teeth into the bayonet lock of the screw and rotate the screw until a click is heard. Place the main juicer body on the countertop. Assemble the juicing bowl on the main juicer body inserting the 3 pins on the main juicer body into the 3 holes on the juicing bowl bottom. Then place the screw/filter assembly into the juicing bowl with a small rotation of it in order to let the assembly engage with the motor shaft (PICTURE B). Place the juicer lid into the juicing bowl and then rotate it until the safety lock on the back engage the main juicer body (PICTURE C). If the juicer lid is not in the correct position, the machine is not able to work.

MAKING JUICE Place the containers on both sides of the main juicer body close to the pulp and juice chute. Press start button to start juicing. Stop button will stop the screw rotation that enable the juicing and reverse button will invert the screw rotation direction until the button is pressed. When the slow juicer gets stuck, press the stop button, and then press the reverse button to release the gear. Never press reverse button while running normal without stopping. Never press both start and reverse button togheter. Introduce fruit and vegetables into the feeding chute carefully pushing down the pusher to slowly feed items into the juicing bowl. Do not press the food pusher rapidly as the juicer will not be as effective. Do not introduce other items until all fruit or vegetables have gone through the juicer. Do not overload the juicing bowl. Do not juice hard fruit or vegetables, stones or hard seeds. The juice from the fruit and vegetables will flow directly into the juice cup and the pulp will be collected in the pulp container. When juicing is complete, ensure that the screw is stopped by pressing the stop button and the juicer is unplugged. Now the unit can be disassembled safely in the following order: 1. Remove the food pusher. 2. Remove the lid. 3. Remove the juice screw/filter assembly 4. Remove the juicing bowl Regular maintenance and cleaning of your appliance will keep it safe and in proper operational order. Refer to “Cleaning and Maintenance” section.

MAKING SORBET This juicer is able to produce sorbet from frozen fruits or vegetables. Remove the feeding chute and pull out from the juicing bowl the screw/filter assembly. Dismount the filter with holes (13) and mount the filter without holes (14) as shown in PICTURE A. Assembly again the juicer as described in dedicated section. Place the containers on both sides of the main juicer body close to the pulp and juice chute. Remove hard seeds from the ingredients and peel the skins from the ingredients before juicing, besides, the fruit need to cut into small pieces. Introduce frozen fruit slowly and carefully with liquids (milk, cream, yogurt or similar). Never introduce frozen fruit without liquids. Take out from freezer the frozen fruit at least 15 minutes before juicing. The sorbet come out from the pulp chute, but some liquid can come out also from juice chute. When juicing is complete, ensure that the screw is stopped by pressing the stop button and the juicer is unplugged. Now the unit can be disassembled safely in the following order: 1. Remove the food pusher. 2. Remove the lid. 3. Remove the juice screw/filter assembly 4. Remove the juicing bowl Regular maintenance and cleaning of your appliance will keep it safe and in proper operational order. Refer to “Cleaning and Maintenance” section.

TIPS FOR JUICING Before juicing: • The Slow Juicer is suitable for celery, spinach, carrots, apples, bananas, tomatoes, cucumbers, pear and all the fruits and vegetables which contain juice, but not for those containing starch. • Clean the fruit and vegetables thoroughly, making them ready for juicing. If the pieces of fruit or vegetables are very large, chop them to a size that will fit down the juicer’s food chute. Cut food items into small pieces for optimal extraction. • Pit fruit with stones or hard seeds (i.e. mangoes, nectarines, apricots and cherries) before juicing. Always peel fruits with hard or inedible skins. Examples include mangoes, citrus fruits, melons, and pineapples. • When selecting fruit and vegetables for juicing, always select fresh and properly ripe specimens. Fresh fruit and vegetables carry more flavor and

juice than those that are not properly ripe. Juice is best consumed when freshly made, as this is when its vitamin and mineral content is the highest. While juicing: • For optimum results, insert one ingredient at a time. • Insert food at regular speed, allowing all the pulp to be extracted with maximum efficiency. • When juicing celery with other fruits/ vegetables, it is recommended to interchange the celery with other items to prevent pulp build-up inside the juice bowl. • When juicing leafy greens like spinach and kale, it is recommended to juice with a combination of watery or fibrous fruits and vegetables to help with juice flow and yield and achieve optimal results. • Insert nuts to be juiced only with other foods such as soaked soybeans or liquids. • Do not operate with an empty bowl. • A small amount of lemon can be added to apple juice to prevent the juice form browning. • Bananas can be difficult to juice. When you use bananas, add them as the first or second ingredient: the nectar of the bananas will follow through into the juice form the other fruits. • When juicing fruits and vegetables having different consistencies, it may help to juice different combinations. For example, juice soft fruit first (i.e .oranges), then follow with hard fruit (i.e. apples). This will help you achieve maximum juice extraction. • For better tasting citrus juice, also remove the inner white peel from fruit. • If juicing herbs or leafy vegetables, wrap them together to form a bundle before placing them in the juicer or combine them with other ingredients at low speed. After juicing: • Leftover juice should be refrigerated or frozen. • Saved pulp can be used for other recipes, as compost for your garden, or can be discarded. • As you juice, clean parts to avoid dried-on juice and pulp. • After each use, immediately rinse removable parts in hot water to remove pulp and juice. It may be necessary to use the cleaning brush to remove.
