Frequently Asked Questions - HR2828 PHILIPS

How do I assemble the Philips HR2828 juicer?

Ensure the appliance is unplugged. Place the motor unit on a flat surface. Attach the pulp container to the back of the juicer. Fit the strainer bowl onto the motor shaft, then place the strainer inside. Secure the lid by aligning the lock symbol and turning clockwise until it clicks. Lock the locking arm into position. Finally, place the juice jug under the spout.

Can I juice whole fruits without cutting them?

The feeding tube has a diameter of approximately 60 mm. For larger fruits like apples or oranges, they should be cut into pieces that fit easily into the tube. Do not force large pieces as it may damage the juicer.

How do I clean the Philips HR2828?

Most removable parts (strainer, bowl, lid, pulp container, juice jug) are dishwasher safe. For hand washing, use warm soapy water and the included cleaning brush to remove pulp from the strainer. Dry all parts thoroughly before reassembly. The motor unit should be wiped with a damp cloth only.

Why is the juicer not working?

Check that the locking arm is securely closed. The juicer will not operate if the lid is not properly locked. Also ensure the pulp container is correctly attached. If it still doesn't start, check the power cord and outlet.

What is the difference between the two speed settings?

Use speed 1 (low) for soft fruits like berries, tomatoes, and citrus. Use speed 2 (high) for hard vegetables like carrots, beets, and apples. This ensures optimal juice extraction and prevents overheating.

Can I make nut milk with this juicer?

This centrifugal juicer is designed for fruits and vegetables. It is not suitable for making nut milks or extracting juice from leafy greens like wheatgrass. For such purposes, a masticating juicer is recommended.

How do I prevent excess foam in the juice?

Foam is normal due to the centrifugal process. To reduce foam, juice at a slower feed rate and avoid overfilling the feed tube. You can also stir the juice or use a sieve to remove foam if desired.

What should I do if the strainer is clogged?

If the strainer becomes clogged during use, stop the juicer and unplug it. Remove the strainer and clean it under running water with the cleaning brush. Clogging usually occurs when juicing fibrous vegetables; alternate with softer ingredients.

Is the juicer BPA-free?

Yes, all plastic parts that come into contact with food are made from BPA-free materials, ensuring safe juicing.

Where can I find replacement parts for the HR2828?

Replacement parts such as the strainer, juice jug, or pulp container can be ordered from Philips' official website or authorized retailers. The model number is HR2828.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

The Juice Extractor has a short cord to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if the rating is equal to or greater than the rating of the Juice Extractor. Use an extension cord rated 13 amperes or greater. Care must be taken to arrange extension cord so that it will not drape over countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Operating the Juice Extractor and another appliance at the same time from the same electrical circuit could cause an electrical overload condition, which would blow the fuse or trip the circuit breaker.

SPECIAL POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

This Philips Juice Extractor has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock:

• Plug will fit into polarized outlet only one way.
• If plug does not properly fit outlet at first, reverse it.
• If plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.

2 Way Safety Lock System

Ingredients and Tips

• Use fresh fruit and vegetables as they contain more juice. Pineapples, beet roots, celery stalks, apples, cucumbers, carrots, spinach, melons, tomatoes, oranges and grapes are particularly suitable for processing in the Juice Extractor.
• You don't have to remove thin peels or skins. Only thick peels, e.g. those of oranges, pineapples and uncooked beet roots need to be removed before processing. Peel any waxed fruit or vegetable. Also remove the white pith of citrus fruits because it has a bitter taste. Trim away any bruised or discolored parts.
• When preparing apple juice, remember that the thickness of the apple juice depends on the kind of apple you are using. Some kinds of apples are more juicy, while others produce a thicker juice. Choose a kind of apple that produces the type of juice you prefer.
• Apple juice turns brown very quickly. You can slow down this process by adding a few drops of lemon juice.
• Fruits that contain starch, such as bananas, papayas, avocados, figs and mangoes are not suitable for processing in the Juice Extractor. Use a food processor, blender or bar blender to process these fruits.
• Leaves and leaf stalks of lettuce can also be processed in the Juice Extractor. Leafy greens or sprouts should be rolled into tight, compact balls before putting in chute.
• Drink the juice immediately after you have extracted it. If it is exposed to air for some time, the juice will lose some of its taste and nutritional value.
• Remove large hard pits, seeds and stones from fruits (cherries, peaches, pears, etc.) or vegetables before processing.

Using the Juice Extractor

1 Wash the fruit and/or vegetables, remove hard pits, and cut them into pieces that will fit into the food chute.
2 Turn the appliance on by pressing the ON/OFF (I) switch. The appliance will only function if the serving pitcher and the lid have been properly mounted onto the motor unit and securely locked into position.
3 Put the food pieces in the food chute and press them gently down using the pusher.

Do not exert too much pressure on the pusher; this could affect the quality of the end result and it could even cause the sieve to come to a halt.

NEVER PUT YOUR FINGERS OR AN OBJECT IN THE FOOD CHUTE.

4 When the flow of juice into the pitcher has stopped, turn the appliance off by pressing the on/off (O) switch and WAIT UNTIL THE SIEVE HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED ROTATING.

Do not fill the pitcher beyond the MAX indication to prevent juice from being spilt. If you want to extract a large quantity of juice, empty the reservoir at a certain point during the process.

Do not let the appliance run continuously for more than two minutes. If you have not finished extracting juice, turn the appliance off by pressing the on/off (O) switch and allow it to cool down for two minutes before you continue.

5 If the pulp container becomes full before you are finished, turn the Juice Extractor off (O) and follow the directions below to empty it.

6 Pour out the juice. It is not necessary to disassemble the Juice Extractor.

If the pulp container is full:

1 Turn the appliance off by pressing the on/off (O) switch and WAIT UNTIL THE SIEVE HAS STOPPED ROTATING COMPLETELY.

2 Empty the pulp container.

3 Reassemble the Juice Extractor and continue.

Cleaning

• Turn the appliance off by pressing on/off switch off (O) and unplug the cord from the electrical outlet and WAIT UNTIL SIEVE HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED ROTATING before you start cleaning the appliance or removing parts.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers, scourers, wire wool, acetone, alcohol, etc. to clean parts.

1 Remove the parts from the motor unit.

2 Clean the parts that have been in contact with food in hot soapy water immediately after use and rinse them with hot water. Dry all parts.

Do not put any of the parts in the dishwasher.

3 To clean the sieve, use a soft brush. Be careful of the sharp shredders located on the bottom of the sieve. Do not use a metal brush. Allow sieve to air dry thoroughly.
4 Clean the motor unit with a damp cloth.
Never immerse the motor unit in water or rinse it under the tap.
5 When storing the Juice Extractor, do not place the serving pitcher on the base unit in the locked position.
