4. Operating Instructions

Once the MixFino Saftmaja is correctly assembled and filled, you can begin the juicing process using your Monsieur Cuisine device.

1. Start Steaming: Set your Monsieur Cuisine device to a steaming program or a suitable temperature and time setting for gentle steaming. Refer to your Monsieur Cuisine manual for specific steaming functions.
2. Monitor Juicing: The juice will begin to collect in the juice collection insert and flow continuously through the silicone hose into your external container. The system is designed to operate for up to 99 minutes without requiring the mixing bowl to be emptied.
3. Adjust Time: The duration of the steaming process depends on the type and quantity of fruit. Continue steaming until the desired amount of juice has been extracted or the fruit is fully softened.
4. Finish Process: Once juicing is complete, turn off your Monsieur Cuisine device. Carefully remove the lid and allow the components to cool before disassembling.

Note: Ensure the external collection container is large enough to hold the anticipated volume of juice to prevent overflow.

• Leakage around the insert:
  • Ensure the juice collection insert is correctly and firmly seated on the Monsieur Cuisine mixing bowl.
  • Check for any debris or fruit pulp preventing a tight seal between components.
• Fruit not softening/juicing effectively:
  • Increase the steaming time or temperature on your Monsieur Cuisine device, if applicable.
