If you turn the control in a clockwise direction, the appliance switches between the four possible speeds, one after the other. SPEEDS You can choose between 4 different settings for the juicing power / speed: HARD VEG for hard vegetables HARD FRUIT for hard fruits SOFT VEG for soft vegetables SOFT FRUIT for soft fruits Turn the rotary control in a clockwise direction to the right, the arrow next to the descriptions as well as the ring segments indicate the current appliance setting. “Hard Veg” has the highest speed, “Soft Fruit” has the lowest speed. GB82

Place the motor unit on a dry, stable, moisture resistant and level work surface with a power socket nearby. The clasp should be placed on the side with the spout recess. STEP 2:

Place the juicer bowl on the motor unit. The spout of the juicer bowl must be placed in the corresponding recess in the motor unit, the four knobs on the juicer bowl automatically slide into place in the rubber coated recesses.

LOCKABLE SPOUT ON THE

JUICER BOWL You can lock the spout to prevent dripping out after pouring out the juice. Locking the spout: Turn it in a clockwise direction all the way shut. Opening the spout: Turn it in a counter clockwise direction all the way shut. GB83 STEP 3:

Place the sieve in the juicer bowl. Firmly press down on the edge of the sieve to make it audibly lock into place in the juicer bowl. Caution: Never touch the grinding blades in the sieve, only touch the sieve by the raised edge! The grind- ing blades are sharp, risk of injury! STEP 4:

Place the cover with the funnel on the juicer bowl. The cover for the pomace container should be directed in the direction opposite from the spout. The cover should completely glide into the juicer bowl, the pomace container cover is placed exactly above the bulge of the bowl. The two nibs to the left and right of the bulge on the juicer bowl are placed within the cover. GB84 STEP 5:

Push the clasp up and over the cover so that it audibly locks into place. STEP 6:

Place the pomace container under the designated cover, so that it touches the motor unit and the pomace container is fully covered by the cover.

Tip: To simplify the cleaning of the pomace container, you can line it with a thin plastic bag. GB85 STEP 7:

Open the spout. It has to be turned all the way in a counter clockwise direction. spout locked spout open STEP 8:

Place the juice jug with the foam separator right next to the appliance so that it fully connects with the motor unit. GB86 STEP 9:

When you start using the appliance and fi ll the vegetables / the fruits into the funnel on the top, use the tamper to slowly push the vegetables resp. the fruits downwards. Take care to push the tamper down slowly and gently. Too much force does nothing to speed up the juicing process and might even damage the appliance. Only use the tamper to push down on the vegetables / the fruits. Never insert any other objects or your hand into the funnel!

Note: The 3 guide rails in the tamper have to be positioned above the nibs in the funnel so that the tamper can easily slide down. The widest guide rail should be positioned in front, above the rotary control, as the nib in the front is the largest. If the widest guide rail is not positioned above the rotary control, you might experience problems when pushing the tamper down or lifting it up. GB87

Pull the pomace container out of the appliance. Remove the juice jug. STEP 2:

Open the clasp by folding it over the renitency and down to the right. STEP 3:

Lift the juicer cover with the tamper off the juicer bowl. STEP 4:

Lift the juicer bowl together with the inlying sieve off the motor unit. When lifting both parts off together, you avoid injuring yourself with the sharp sieve. To do that, firmly yank the juicer bowl up to separate it from the motor unit. After that, you can turn the juicer bowl upside down so that the sieve falls out. Make sure that the sieve does not fall from high up, as this will damage the sieve as well as the surface beneath. Alternatively, you can first remove the sieve from the juicer bowl by firmly pulling it up and out. When doing this, you must only hold the sieve by the upper edge, as the grinding blades in the sieve are extremely sharp and must never be touched! Then, the juicer bowl can be easily lifted off the motor unit.

Before using your juicer for the first time, remove all potential advertisement stickers and labels (except for the type plate).

Take the appliance apart as described in the section “Disassembling the juicer” (see above).

Rinse all juicer parts except the motor unit with warm (not above 50 °C) water and some detergent. Please be very careful not to injure yourself with the sharp grinding blades in the sieve. For the sieve, best use the supplied cleaning brush. Dry all parts carefully.

Wipe the motor unit clean with a soft, slightly moist towel.

When all parts are completely clean, assemble the juicer as described in the section “Assembling the juicer” (see page 82 – 86). GB88

moisture resistant work surface.

2. Place the pomace container under the designated cover, so that it touches the

motor unit and the cover fully covers the pomace container.

3. Place the lid with the attached foam separator on the juice jug. Make sure that

the foam separator slides into the two guide rails in the juice jug. Please pull the lid straight up when removing it. This prevents the attached foam separator from breaking off. Make sure that the spout is opened (turn the spout in a counter clockwise direction all the way to the stop). Place the juice jug directly next to the appliance so that the juicer spout reaches into the spout of the juice jug.

Wash the vegetables or the fruits and peel the fruits or the vegetables with inedible or very thick skins (e.g. oranges). Remove large pips and stones from the stone fruit (e.g. peaches, nectarines, mangos, apricots, cherries, plums etc.), otherwise, the appliance might be damaged. You can leave the pips in fruits with small pips, like water melons, grapes or apples.

7. Use the rotary control to select the desired speed:

– HARD VEG for hard vegetables like e.g. fennel, carrots etc. – HARD FRUIT for hard fruits like e.g. apples, pears etc. – SOFT VEG for soft vegetables like e.g. cucumbers, tomatoes etc. – SOFT FRUIT for soft fruits like e.g. peaches, grapes etc. Each clockwise turn changes the speed setting. An arrow lights up next to the selected speed, each ring segment additionally indicates the selected speed: SOFT FRUIT with the lowest speed SOFT VEG with a medium speed HARD FRUIT with the second highest speed HARD VEG with the highest speed

Tip: You should choose a lower speed for vegetables and fruits with high water content (SOFT FRUIT resp. SOFT VEG).

8. The appliance immediately starts at the selected speed.

9. Fill the funnel with the fruits / the vegetables and slowly push them down the

funnel with the tamper. To extract as much juice as possible, it is important to push the tamper down very slowly.

Caution: Only use the tamper to move foods down the funnel. Never reach into the funnel with any other objects or your hands. Risk of appliance damage and injuries! Never remove potential blockades with your hand or other kitchen tools! To remove blockades, always switch the appliance off first, pull the power plug and wait for the appliance to come to a complete standstill.

GB90 Caution: Never use the appliance while empty, meaning without foods in the funnel. Should you have used the appliance for 2 minutes, you should always take a break of 30 seconds to prevent the motor from overheating. Important notes:

Always remove hard skins as well as stones and large pips before juicing.

Fruits and vegetables can be put into the funnel with some small leaves attached. However, larger leaves and stalks have to be removed beforehand.

Very soft fruits like bananas or figs can not be put into the juicer. The pulp would jam up the appliance and cause motor damage.

Do not process any frozen vegetables or fruits – this could damage the appliance.

Never let the appliance run idly! GB91
