Frequently Asked Questions - Frutelia T-FAL

How to install the Frutelia juice extractor?

Place the juice collector (E) on the motor unit (L), insert the filter (D) onto the drive shaft (K), then place the lid (C) aligning the discharge opening to the rear. Attach the pulp collector (H) and lock the two clamps (I) until you hear an audible click. Insert the pusher (A) into the feed chute (B) and place the drip-stop spout (G) on the pouring spout.

What is the maximum continuous operating time?

Do not operate the appliance for more than 1 minute continuously. For hard ingredients like sugar cane, limit to 20 consecutive seconds.

How to clean the filter and other parts?

All removable parts (pusher, feed chute, lid, filter, juice collector, pouring spout, drip-stop, pulp collector) can be washed in the dishwasher. The motor unit should be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive sponges, acetone, or alcohol. Clean immediately after use to make maintenance easier.

Why is the juice not flowing properly?

First check that the juice collector (E) is correctly positioned. If the filter (D) is saturated, clean it. Also ensure that the drip-stop spout (G) is in the open position (spout downwards).

What to do if the appliance does not start?

Check that the plug is connected and the switch is set to '1'. Ensure the lid (C) is properly locked: the clamps must be closed with an audible click. If the problem persists, contact an authorized center.

Can I extract juice from all fruits and vegetables?

The appliance is ideal for apples, pears, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, pineapple, grapes, etc. It is not recommended for bananas, avocados, blackberries, figs, eggplants, raspberries as well as sugar cane and overripe or fibrous fruits. Peel citrus fruits and pineapple before use.

How to prevent the juice from browning?

Apple or pear juice oxidizes quickly. Add a few drops of lemon to slow down browning. Consume the juice immediately after preparation to preserve flavor, color, and nutrients.

What are the important safety tips?

Never immerse the motor unit in water. Always use the pusher (A), never fingers, to push food. Do not open the lid until the filter has completely stopped. Always unplug the appliance after use. Check that the voltage matches your installation.

How to check that the filter is in good condition?

Before each use, inspect the filter (D) for cracks, fissures, or tears. If the filter is broken or damaged, do not use it and contact an authorized service center. The edges of the filter are sharp, handle it with care.

How to use the drip-stop spout?

Insert the drip-stop spout (G) onto the pouring spout (F) with the spout downwards. To serve juice, place a glass under the spout. Once the glass is full, rotate the spout 180° to stop the flow and prevent drips.

BEFORE FIRST USE

We recommend that you wash the removable parts (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H) before the first use (see section "Cleaning and care").

• Unpack the appliance and then place it on a solid, stable worktop, remove the cover (C) and take out the protective card on the sieve (D).

USING THE APPLIANCE

• Place the juice collector (E) on the body of the appliance (see Fig. 1).
• Place the sieve (D) in the juice collector (E). Ensure that the sieve is properly clipped onto the drive shaft (K) (see Fig. 1).
• Fit the cover (C) on the appliance, pulp ejection spout (see Fig. 2).
• Fit the cover (C) on the appliance in order to have the pulp evacuation exit to the rear (see fig.2).
• Lock the two clamps (I) on

the cover (C). You will hear an audible "click" (see Fig. 4).

• Slide the pusher (A) into the feed tube (B) aligning the groove on the pusher with the small ridge in the feed tube.
• Your appliance is equipped with a non-drip spout (G). Fit it (spout downwards) on the pouring spout (Fig. 5).
• Place a glass under the non-drip spout in front of the appliance (see Fig. 5).

• Plug in the appliance.

• To start the appliance, use the control button (J).

Ingredients	Approximate weight (kg)	Quantity of juice obtained in ml (*) - 1 glass = 20 ml (approximately)
Apples 1 650
Pears	1 600
Carrots	1 600
Cucumbers	1 (about 2 cucumbers)	600
Pineapple	1 300
Grapes	1 450
Tomatoes	1 600
Celery	1 600

Do not use the appliance for more than 1 minute continuously

(*) The quality and quantity of juice varies widely depending on the freshness of the fruit or vegetables and variety of each vegetable or fruit.

The quantities of juice indicated above are therefore approximate.

PRACTICAL TIPS

• Wash the fruit carefully before stoning.
• You do not need to remove the skin or peel. You only need to peel fruit with thick (and bitter) skin: citrus fruit, pineapple (remove the centre core).
• It is difficult to extract juice from melon, bananas, avocados, blackberries, figs, aubergines and strawberries, etc.
• The juicer should not be used for sugarcane and excessively hard or fibrous fruit.
• Choose fresh, ripe fruit and vegetables, they will yield more juice. This appliance is suitable for fruits such as apples, pears,

oranges, grapes, pomegranates, pineapple, etc. and vegetables such as carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, beetroot and celery, etc.

• If you use over-ripe fruit, the sieve (D) will tend to get clogged up more quickly.

IMPORTANT:

All juice should be consumed immediately. On contact with air, it is very quickly oxidised, which can change its taste, colour and, above all, nutritional value. Apple and pear juices quickly turn brown. Add a few drops of lemon juice to slow this discolouration.

CLEANING AND CARE

• All removable parts may be cleaned in the dishwasher (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H). Alternatively wash the parts in warm water and washing up liquid. Don't use an abrasive sponge to do this. The appliance is easier to clean if rinsed with water immediately after use and then cleaned fully later.

Do not use scouring pads, acetone, alcohol, etc. to clean your appliance.

• The sieve (D) must be handled with care. Avoid any mishandling that may damage it. Change your sieve at the first sign of wear or damage.
• Clean the motor unit with a damp cloth.
