Frequently Asked Questions - 168 ARIETE

Can I use the Ariete 168 juicer to chop nuts or chocolate?

No, this appliance is designed only for extracting juice from fruits and vegetables. Do not use it to chop other foods like nuts, ice cubes, or chocolate, as this could damage the appliance.

How to quickly clean the filter after use?

For easy cleaning, let the stainless steel filter soak in hot soapy water for 10 minutes, then clean it with the provided brush. Do not put it in the dishwasher.

What to do if the appliance does not start?

Check that all components are properly assembled: the lid (B) and the cup (F) must be correctly locked. If the motor does not turn even with the pusher set to 'I', the locking safety is active. Reassemble the appliance following the instructions.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Appliance assembly

WARNING: After having removed the appliance from its package, before using it for the first time, thoroughly wash all parts that will come into contact with food using water and mild soap.

Put the motor base (M) onto a stable, flat surface. Make sure the surface is easily accessible.

Place the bowl (F) onto the base (M) and rotate it clockwise until a click is heard (Fig. 2).

Put the filter holder (E) into the bowl (F) (Fig. 3).

• Insert the filter (D) into the corresponding filter holder (E), making sure the two references on the bowl (F) and on the filter itself (D) are aligned (Fig. 4).
  Put the pressing screw (C) inside the filter (D), by rotating it until it is properly positioned in the filter (Fig. 5).
• Position the lid (B) onto the bowl (F) by ensuring it is properly inserted on the upper pin of the pressing screw (C). Rotate it anti-clockwise so that the side tab fits perfectly in the corresponding motor base slot (M) (Fig. 6).
  Put the container (I) underneath the juice dispensing spout (G) (Fig. 7).
  Place the pulp container (N) underneath the ejecting spout (O) (Fig. 8).
• Put the food previously prepared into the related housing on the lid (B) and position the food presser (A) close to the housing itself (Fig. 9).

WARNING: The filter (D) has small sharp blades for chopping food. Be careful not to get hurt while removing or cleaning the filter.

Should the lid (B) and the bowl (F) be mounted improperly, the juicer does not start. In this case the motor does not run, even though the switching on button (H) is in "I" position. Make sure all components are properly mounted before use.

Switching on

Plug in appliance.

• Position the switching on dial (H) to "I". The motor start running. Open the cap on the juice dispensing spout (O).
• Let the food presser (A) slide in the corresponding housing on the lid (B) and slightly press to bring food towards the filter (D). Do not put too much food into the appliance and do not excessively press on the food presser (A).
• By rotating the switching on button (H) to "II", the motor changes direction of rotation for a better juice extraction.

ATTENTION: Do not press quickly the switching on button (H) from "I" to "II", but remain in "O" position for few seconds.

WARNING: This appliance is not designed to work in a continuous mode. Let the motor cool down after 2 minutes of continuous functioning.

Once having processed the first load of food, repeat the above steps to make some other juice, otherwise remove the • container.

To make sure the appliance goes on working properly, prevent the pulp container (N) from being overfilled. Empty the • container, if necessary:

√ Switch the appliance off, by bringing the switching on button (H) to "O, and then unplug it.
√ Carefully remove the pulp container (N) from under the related spout (O).
√ Carefully empty the pulp container (N) and place it back under the related spout (O).

NOTE: To make pulp container cleaning easier (N), put a plastic bag into the container itself. This operation is also useful to prevent the pulp from splashing out of the container rim.

- After use, switch the appliance off, close the cap on the juice dispensing spout (G), disconnect the power plug and remove the container (I) to serve the juice.

- Keep the juice in the fridge by covering the container (I).

WARNING: Use the juice in the fridge within 24 hours.

USE TIPS

It is recommended to always use fresh fruit and vegetable.

• Try to mix different kinds of fruit, e.g. apples, pears, oranges, pineapples, or vegetables, as tomatoes, celery, carrots, to obtain delicious and nourishing juices.
• When squeezing not very juicy fruit (e.g. banana), alternate with juicy fruit or vegetables to make extraction easier.
• In case of long herbs (e.g. wheat herb), cut them into 3 cm. long pieces to prevent them from twisting around the screw. In case of frozen fruit, completely defrost it in advance.
• In case of big amount of juice, it can be kept in the fridge in a close container but, as it contains no preservatives, consume it within 24 hours.

ATTENTION: The appliance is equipped with a motor protection system which switches it off after few minutes of continuous operation. When this interruption occurs, put the dial back to 0 and unplug the appliance to reset it. After few minutes (at least 5), plug the machine in again and restart it.

• After use, proceed with cleaning by removing all components, carrying out the assembly instruction above described in reverse order.

WARNING: Should the bowl (F) be locked and cannot be removed from the motor base (M), rotate the switching on button (H) to "II" by keeping it in this position for 3-5 seconds. Repeat these steps 2-3 times. Remove the bowl (F) by rotating it anticlockwise.
