any other utensils to push down the food. Do not push down the food too fast and vigo-
rously. Do not allow the pulp container to overfill, as this may prevent correct operation
or damage the appliance. When juicing hard fruits and vegetables and/or pushing down
the food with firm pressure, the motor could stall or stick during operation. In this case,
immediately switch OFF (power switch position on '0') and unplug the appliance to avoid
overheating. (See ›Trouble Shooting Guide‹).
• Do not leave any food dry on the surfaces of the appliance. If pulp is left to dry on
the filter basket, it may clog the filter mesh and, as a result, decreasing the performance
of the juicer. In this case, soak the filter basket in hot soapy water to remove any dried
pulp before use (see ›Care and cleaning‹). Do not use any abrasive cleaners or cleaning
pads to avoid damage. Never use hard or sharp objects to work with the device or use
for cleaning. Always handle with care. Do not place the motor base or power cord in an
automatic dishwasher or under a tap!
• Do not use the appliance for chopping, slicing or shredding of hard foods and
nutrients (i.e. nuts or chocolate). Do not use for mincing meat or pureeing.
Important safeguards for all electrical appliances
• Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage
requirements of the appliance (230 V, 50 Hz, AC). Always connect the appliance directly
to a mains power supply wall socket with protective conductor (earth/ground) connected
properly. The installation of a current safety switch with a maximum rated operating of
30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is recommended. If in doubt, contact your local
electrician for further information. Maximum power consumption: 700 Watt. Do not use
any extension cord or multiple socket.
• Do not immerse the motor base or power cord in water or any other liquid. Do not
pour or drip any liquids on the motor base or power cord. When liquids are spilled
on the motor base, immediately switch off (power switch position '0') and unplug the
appliance and dry the motor base.
• Always place the appliance on a stable, even, dry and sufficiently large surface. Do
not place any cloth or tissues under or on the appliance to avoid risk of fire and electric
shock. Do not place the appliance near the edge of the table or counter. Do not let the
plug or power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter. Take care that no one
will pull the appliance by the power cord, especially when young children are near.
Never touch the appliance or any part of it during the appliance is working, because the
surface is getting hot. Do not place the appliance and any part of it on or near hot sur
faces, (i.e. burner, heater or oven).
• Do not leave the appliance unintended while connected to the power supply. Always
switch OFF ('0') and unplug the appliance if it is not in use and before moving, cleaning
and/or assembling or disassembling.
• Always handle the power cord with care. Do not pull or strain the power cord. The
power cord may never be knotted or squeezed. Always grasp the plug to disconnect
the power cord from the power outlet. Do not let the power cord hang over
the edge of the table or counter. Take care not to entangle in the power cord.
• Always ensure that the power switch is in OFF-position '0', before connecting the
appliance to the mains power supply.
