6. Motor Unit: Contains the motor and power cord.

4. Setup and Assembly

Before first use, wash all removable parts (dust cover, juicing cones, filter, juice collector, glass carafe) in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry. The motor unit should only be wiped with a damp cloth.

1. Place the motor unit on a stable, flat, and dry surface.
2. Position the glass carafe onto the motor unit's base. Ensure it is seated correctly.
3. Place the juice collector/spout onto the carafe, aligning it with the motor unit.
4. Insert the filter into the juice collector.
5. Select the appropriate juicing cone (small for lemons/limes, large for oranges/grapefruits) and place it onto the filter.
6. Plug the power cord into a 240V electrical outlet.

5. Operating Instructions

The Bosch MCP72GMB features a double mode of operation, allowing for efficient juicing of various citrus fruits.

1. Ensure the juicer is correctly assembled as described in the "Setup" section.
2. Cut citrus fruits (lemons, oranges, grapefruits) in half.
3. Place a fruit half onto the juicing cone.
4. Apply gentle downward pressure to the fruit. The motor will automatically start.
5. Rotate the fruit slightly while pressing to extract maximum juice. The juicing cone will alternate rotation directions for optimal extraction.
6. Continue until all juice is extracted from the fruit half.
7. Release pressure to stop the motor.
8. The extracted juice will flow through the filter into the glass carafe. The 1-liter carafe allows for direct serving after juicing.
9. Once juicing is complete, unplug the appliance.

Tips for Best Results:

• Use fresh, room-temperature fruits for maximum juice yield.
• Do not apply excessive pressure, as this can slow down the motor.
• Empty the filter of pulp periodically if juicing a large quantity of fruit to maintain efficiency.
