Frequently Asked Questions - JE1372PL Salton

How do I assemble the VitaPro Juicer?

Line up the unlock arrows on the Juice Bowl and Main Housing, turn clockwise to lock. Place the Sweeper Basket, then the Strainer (matching red dots), then the Auger (push and twist until it clicks). Place the Cover (matching grey dot with red dot) and turn clockwise until the arrow lines up with the Main Housing arrow.

How do I clean the strainer?

Hold the strainer by the top rim only and use the Cleaning Brush to clean the mesh. Avoid using abrasive cloths or cleansers. Soak in mild soapy water, cider vinegar solution, or baking soda if stained.

What should I do if the juicer jams?

Turn the appliance off immediately. Press the reverse function on the on/off switch for 3 seconds. If that doesn't work, unplug, disassemble the upper section, and remove the stuck food. Never remove the cover while plugged in.

Can I make smoothies with this machine?

Yes, use the Smoothie Strainer. Combine fruit (fresh or frozen, but no ice) with milk, juice, or yogurt. Close the spout cover, pour mixture into the food chute, and let it run 2-3 minutes, then open spout to collect.

What is the reverse function for?

The reverse function moves the Auger in the opposite direction to help clear blockages caused by food jams or pits. Use it for 3 seconds at a time when the appliance is clogged.

Is it safe for children to use?

No, this appliance is not intended for use by children. Close supervision is required if used near children. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.

Most fruits and vegetables can be juiced, including apples, carrots, celery, spinach, etc. Avoid hard seeds, pits, and ice. For carrots, cut into pieces no longer than 80mm (3") and 15mm (1/2") wide. Do not use frozen fruit or ice.

How long can I run the juicer continuously?

How does the VitaPro Juicer Work

The VitaPro Juicer is a juice extractor that uses low speed technology. It is called low speed because it operates at only 80 – 90 RPM. The VitaPro actually juices faster than a typical juicer and expels a much drier pulp with a much higher yield. An auger extracts the juice by masticating and slowly squeezing like a mortar & pestle compared to 1,000 to 24,000 RMP's in the typical centrifuge juicer, which cuts and damages the food. The low speed action crushes and squeezes the food releasing the deep-seated nutrients and enzymes. It also breaks up more of the phytonutrients and results in a richer coloured juice that retains more vitamins and minerals. The slower RPM's ensures that it does not disturb the cellular structure of fruits and vegetables, reducing oxidation and juice separation and preserving the enzymes and nutrients of the food that are in its natural form.

Turn the Bowl clockwise so that its arrow is aligned with the “locked” arrow on the main housing.

HOW TO USE

3. There are three settings on the Switch:

OFF – Stops the motor and operation

REVERSE – Moves the Auger in the opposite direction.

JUICING

1. Wash all food to be juiced. Cut into appropriate size pieces to easily fit into the Food Chute. Remove and discard any hard seeds, pits or unwanted sections before juicing.

NOTE:

(a) When making carrot juice the length should be no more than 80mm (3"), width 15mm (1/2"). Feed at intervals of 5 seconds.
(b) Do not put frozen fruit, vegetables or ice into the unit.

1. Place food into the Food Chute and the Juicer will pull in the food and start juicing immediately. Use the Food Pusher if necessary to dislodge food that is stuck in the Food Chute. NOTE: Do not allow the VitaPro Juicer to run longer than 2 minutes without adding food.

IMPORTANT: Never place your fingers in the Food Chute.

1. For best results insert food slowly to allow pulp to be extracted. Do not over stuff or rush the juicing process.
2. The VitaPro Juicer has a unique simple rinsing process to switch between different kinds of juice. Simply pour water through the Food Chute. This will rinse out most of the residue and you are ready to keep juicing.
3. When you have completed juicing turn the unit to the OFF position, unplug from the wall outlet and follow the directions in the Care and Cleaning section.

SMOOTHIES

1. The smoothie strainer can be used with both fresh and frozen fruit.
2. Salton recommends that you use berries, peaches, nectarines, bananas, papaya, mango and other fruits that do not contain seeds.
3. Use approximately 2 cups (500 ml) of fruit to 1 cup (250 ml) of liquid. Adjust the ratio of fruit to liquid depending on the smoothie thickness you prefer.
4. Mix fruit with milk, juice or other liquid.
5. Close the spout cover.
6. Place one container under the pulp chute and the other under the juice spout.
7. Turn on the Juicer. NOTE: Do not allow the Juicer to run without food for more than a few seconds.
8. Pour the fruit/liquid mixture into the Food Chute. Push the mixture down with the Food Pusher, if necessary. NOTE: It is possible that a small amount of the liquid may come out of the pulp chute.
9. Allow the Juicer to work for 2 - 3 minutes.
10. Open the spout cover and collect the smoothie in the provided container or a glass.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Never use ice in the appliance this will damage the auger.

CARE AND CLEANING

1. Follow the directions in the 'Disassembling the VitaPro Juicer'.
2. Using the Cleaning Brush provided, clean the Strainers. Hold by the top rim only and use the brush to clean the mesh.
3. Wash the other disassembled parts in warm soapy water. Do not use abrasive cloths or cleansers.
   NOTE: There is a silicone pad under the Juice Bowl that prevents juice from exiting through the pulp ejector. When using the VitaPro Juicer ensure that the silicone pad is firmly in place in the slot. You may slide the pad out and use the opposite end of the Cleaning Brush if food is caught in the slot.
4. Wipe the Main Housing of the VitaPro Juicer with a damp cloth. NEVER IMMERSE THE MAIN HOUSING OR PLUG IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
5. Dry all parts thoroughly before assembling the VitaPro Juicer.
6. Cleaning the Juicer immediately after each use will reduce the stains on the Juice Bowl, Sweeper, and Cover but carrots or other strong colours in food may still stain the Juicer. We suggest using one of the following cleaning procedures:

a) Soak in mild soapy water

b) Equal parts warm water to cider vinegar

c) Soak in 12 box of baking soda and warm water

d) 12 cup bleach in a sink full of warm water

If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounded 3-wire cord. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
