Operating Instructions

The Philips HR1855 Juicer is designed for efficient and quick juicing of various fruits and vegetables.

1. Preparation: Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly. For larger items, cut them into pieces that fit the XL feeding tube. Remove large seeds or pits from fruits like peaches or plums. Peeling is generally not necessary for most fruits and vegetables, but you may peel citrus fruits to avoid a bitter taste.
2. Start Juicing: Place a glass or jug under the spout. Turn the control knob to the 'ON' position.
3. Feeding: Gradually feed the prepared ingredients into the feeding tube. Use the pusher to gently guide the ingredients down. Do not apply excessive force, as this can affect juice quality or damage the appliance.
4. Juice Collection: The juicer can process up to 2 liters of juice in one go before the pulp container needs emptying.
5. Finish: Once juicing is complete, turn the control knob to the 'OFF' position and unplug the appliance.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your juicer. The Philips HR1855 features QuickClean technology for easy cleaning.

1. Disassembly: Unplug the appliance. Remove the pusher, then the lid with the integrated pulp container. Lift out the sieve and the juice collector.
2. Pre-Clean Function: For quick cleaning, pour a glass of water into the feeding tube while the juicer is running. This helps rinse the lid and sieve.
