4.3 About the juice extractor

By purchasing the electric juice extractor "Top Juicer", you have become the owner of equipment that makes it possible to quickly produce juice rich in vitamins from fruits and vegetables.

The large feed chute, integrated into the lid and with a diameter of 75 mm, shortens the time necessary to prepare raw materials by making it possible to produce juice from whole fruits (e.g. apples) or vegetables without cutting.

A 700 W motor with two speed settings helps you get maximum results.

Speed setting "1" is perfect for soft fruits and vegetables containing large amounts of water, such as oranges and melons. Speed setting "2" is better for hard and fibrous fruits and vegetables, like apples, ginseng, celery and carrots.

The two-litre pressings container lets you squeeze a lot of juice without interruption. When the pressing container fills up, just remove it and empty it out without needing to disassemble the unit.

The lid is held on by the locking arm equipped with a safety switch. The safety switch turns the unit off immediately if the locking arm is released.

5. Installation and operation

5.1 Safety instructions

WARNING! Electrical hazard!

The device must only be connected to a properly installed single socket with protective contact.

- Not at any time should you place the device on an inflammable surface (such as: table cloth, carpet, etc.).
- You must not position the device near open fireplaces, electric ovens/arc furnaces, furnaces/electric heaters or other heat sources.

- The electrical circuit in the socket must be secured to at least 16A. Only connect the device directly to the wall socket; do not use any extension cords or power strips.

- Place the device so that the plug is easily accessible and can be quickly removed from its socket in case of necessity.

5.3 Operating

Before first use, clean the unit as described in 6.2 "Cleaning".

CAUTION!

If the unit is to stay unused or if sub-assemblies are to be attached or detached, disconnect the unit from its socket.

Assembly

• While assembling, follow the instructions in the diagram located to the right.
• Place the motor housing ① on a dry, flat surface. Press down on the motor housing ① until the suction legs are securely attached to the surface.
• Place the pressings container ⑬ on the appropriate bracket located on the motor housing. For easier cleaning a plastic bag can be placed inside the pressings container.
• Attach the sieve housing ⑪ on the motor housing ① so that the exit chute is located above the pressings container.
• Place the sieve ⑧ carefully in the sieve housing ⑪ and press until it locks in place.

WARNING! Danger of injury!

The knives in the sieve are very sharp. To avoid injury, be very careful when handling the sieve.

• Next, attach the lid ⑤, ensuring that the feed chute ④ is located over the sieve ⑧.
• Place the locking arm ② on the lid ⑤. Lock the arm in the notches located at each side of the lid ⑤.

CAUTION!

The unit will only function properly when all elements are properly assembled, and the locking arm with safety latch is properly inserted into the lid..

CAUTION!

Never operate the unit when the accessories are mounted but no food products have been inserted.

Preparing fruits and vegetables

• For best-tasting juice, use only fresh fruits and vegetables.
• The best foods for the juicer are apples, pineapples, oranges, grapes, melons, carrots, celery, beets and tomatoes.
• Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly before making juice.
• Fruits and vegetables with thin skins do not need to be peeled. They can be scrubbed with a sponge to remove traces of dirt or wax. Thick skins from e.g. lemons, oranges or pineapples must be removed.

- Fruits with large pits, such as mango and papaya, should have them removed to avoid damage to blades.

- Seeds from some fruits can have a bitter taste. Before making juice from such fruits, remove the seeds.

- Cut large fruits and vegetables into smaller pieces. Cone-shaped foods such as carrots should be inserted with the thin end first.

Squeezing juice

• Place the plastic pitcher with splash protection under the exit chute (see diagram).
• Connect the unit to a grounded single outlet.
• Select speed "1" or "2". Speed "1" is for making juice from soft fruits and vegetables, and speed "2" is for hard ones.
• Insert prepared fruits or vegetables into the feed chute.
• Insert the plunger into the feed chute, making sure the groove fits the slot inside the feed chute.
• For the maximum amount of juice, press the plunger slowly and delicately. Pressing too hard can reduce the amount of juice and damage the unit.

WARNING! Danger of injury!

Never use your fingers to push through fruits and vegetables. Always use the plunger!

• Juice in the sieve housing flows and gathers in the plastic pitcher. Pressings are separated and gather in the pressings container.
• Fruits and vegetables can be juiced until either the plastic pitcher or pressings container fill up.
• Ensure that the plastic pitcher with splash guard is located under the exit chute placed in the sieve housing.
• When juicing, pay attention to the amount of material in the pressings container. When it fills up, turn the unit off and empty the container.

CAUTION!

The unit can malfunction if the pressings container is overfilled. Spillage from the pressings container can cause juice to enter the motor housing and damage it. Regularly check and empty the pressings container!

CAUTION!

The unit cannot operate without interruption for longer than 3 minutes. After 3 minutes of uninterrupted operation, turn the unit off and leave to cool for at least 20 minutes before using again.

• If too little juice has been squeezed in the time given above, turn the unit off (turn the speed dial to "0") and leave it to cool before juicing more fruits or vegetables.
  • After finishing juicing, turn the juicer off and remove the plug from its socket.

CAUTION!

If the unit is not in use, always disconnect it from its power source. Do the same before removing or attaching sub-assemblies.

Advice and tips

• When preparing juice from different kinds of fruits and vegetables, it can be helpful to combine them based on their characteristics and in various configurations. For example, when juicing apples and oranges, first juice the soft fruit (oranges) then the hard one (apples). This helps make the best juice possible.
• When making juice from fresh herbs such as mint or parsley, insert them into the juicer between pieces of fruits/vegetables in order to get the largest amount of juice. If there is only a small amount of herbs, they should be inserted together with pieces of fruits/vegetables.
• Starchy fruits (banana, papaya, fig, avocado, mango, etc.) are difficult to juice (the mousse created can clog the sieve). Such fruits should be processed in a mixer or blender. If a given juice flavour requires banana, insert it into the juicer as the first or second piece of fruit. Mixing with other juices will help the banana nectar to flow more easily, but can sometimes result in foaming.
• Small fruits such as grapes and strawberries should be juiced in bunches, not individually. This will provide best juicing results.
• Remember that red beets will colour all other fruits and vegetables. Always juice beets after finishing all other juices to avoid undesired colouring.
  • Apple juice quickly turns brown when exposed to air. Add just a hint of lemon juice to it.
• Juice should be served right after squeezing, as with time it will lose taste and nutritional value.

6. Cleaning and maintenance

6.1 Safety advice

Before beginning with repair or cleaning works make sure the device has been disconnected from power socket (pull the power plug!!!) and has cooled down.
