What You Should Know About Electrical Appliances

• Check that the mains voltage corresponds with that shown on the rating plate of an electrical appliance before you use it.
• Always install electrical appliances on a stable and level surface where it cannot fall over.
• Certain parts of an electrical appliance may become warm or sometimes hot. Do not touch them as you may burn yourself.
• Make sure your hands are dry when you touch an electrical appliance, a cord or a plug.
• Electrical appliances must be able to lose their heat to avoid fire hazards. Therefore, make sure that the appliance has sufficient clearance around it and that it does not come into contact with flammable materials. Electrical appliances must never be covered.
• Make sure that electrical appliances, cords or plugs do not come into contact with water.
• Never immerse electrical appliances, cords or plugs in water or any other liquid.
• Do not touch electrical appliances if they have fallen in the water. Immediately pull the plug out of the socket. Stop using the appliance.
• Make sure that electrical appliances, cords and plugs do not come into contact with heat sources, such as a hot hob or open fire.
• Never let cords hang over the edge of the sink, a worktop or a table.
• Always remove plug from the socket when you are not using the electrical appliance.
• Remove the plug from the socket by pulling the plug itself and not the cord.
• Regularly check if the cord of the electrical appliance is not damaged. Do not use the electrical appliance if the cord shows signs of damage. If the cord is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, a technical service provider or a person with an equivalent qualification, to avoid any danger.
• The appliance may not be switched on with the aid of an external time switch, or by a separate system with remote control.

What You Should Know About This Appliance

• Never use the appliance in damp or wet locations.
• Thoroughly clean the appliance after use (see Cleaning and Maintenance).

Parts Identification

The citrus juicer consists of the following parts:

• 1. Transparent lid
• 2. Large pressing cone
• 3. Small pressing cone
• 4. Pulp dish
• 5. Juice reservoir
• 6. Handle
• 7. Spout
• 8. Motor shaft
• 9. Motor unit

Operation - Before First Use

1. Remove the appliance from the packaging, and remove all packaging materials.
2. Clean the pressing cones, pulp dish, juice reservoir, and lid before using the appliance for the first time (see 'Cleaning and Maintenance').

Operation - Preparing

1. Put the appliance on a level and heat-resistant surface.
2. Fit the juice reservoir (5) onto the motor unit (9).
3. Place the cone (2 or 3) and pulp dish (4) on the juice reservoir, making sure the pressing cone is fitted correctly onto the motor shaft (8).
4. Put the plug into the wall socket.

Operation - Using the Citrus Press

Tip: Use the lid to press the fruit. This will keep your hands clean.

1. Cut the citrus fruit into halves.
2. Press each half onto the pressing cone. The pressure applied to the pressing cone will turn the motor on. The motor automatically changes directions when it is switched on and off. This change of direction increases the juice collected.
3. Remove the pulp dish from the juice container.
4. Remove the juice container from the motor unit.
5. Pour the juice into a glass.

WARNING:

• Never use the citrus press for longer than 10 minutes without pausing. Switch off the citrus press and wait a few minutes before continuing.
• Stop occasionally to clean the appliance when squeezing larger amounts of fruit. Remove the pulp from the pulp dish if the openings become blocked. Do not leave any pulp residues behind after use; dried pulp will be difficult to remove. See also 'Cleaning and maintenance'.
• Whilst squeezing, please take into consideration the maximum capacity of the juice container (maximum 0.7 litre).
• Do not exert too much pressure on the juice cone. If the sound of the motor increases significantly or the motor itself slows down dramatically, this means too much pressure has been exerted.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Clean the citrus press after use.

1. Remove the plug from the wall socket.
2. Remove the cone and pulp dish from the juice container.
3. Remove the juice container from the motor unit.
4. Clean the pressing cone, the pulp dish, the juice container and the lid with water and washing-up liquid. After washing, rinse all the parts with ample water and dry them thoroughly.
5. Clean the motor unit with a damp cloth, if necessary moistened with a couple of drops of washing-up liquid. After cleaning, dry the unit thoroughly.

WARNING:

• Verify that the appliance is not connected to the power supply before you clean it.
• Never use corrosive or scouring cleaning agents or sharp objects (such as knives or hard brushes) to clean the appliance.
• Never immerse the appliance's motor unit, the plug or the power cord in water or another liquid.
• Do not leave the removable parts to soak in soapy water for too long.
