Operating Instructions
Preparing Ingredients
- Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
- For fruits with hard pits (e.g., peaches, plums), remove the pits.
- Peel fruits with thick skins (e.g., oranges, pineapples).
- The XL 70mm feeding tube can accommodate larger pieces, reducing pre-cutting. However, for very fibrous vegetables like celery, it is recommended to cut them into smaller pieces to prevent clogging.
Juicing Process
- Plug in the appliance.
- Switch on the juicer.
- Slowly feed the prepared ingredients into the feeding tube. Use the pusher only if necessary to guide ingredients.
- The juicer will extract juice into the juice container and separate pulp into the pulp container.
- Once juicing is complete, switch off the appliance and unplug it.
- Open the drip stop to release any remaining juice.
