Assembly

Place the motor base on a flat, dry surface such as a countertop. Ensure that the juice is turned OFF and the power cord is unplugged.
Place the integrated pulp container on top of the motor base. Locate the integrated pulp container so that the spout fits through the hole on the front of the motor base.
Align the arrows on the Nutri Disc™ with the arrows on the motor drive coupling and push down until it clicks into place. Ensure the Nutri Disc™ is fitted securely inside the integrated pulp container and onto the motor base.
Place the juicer cover over the Nutri Disc™ and integrated pulp container. The ridges of the rim of the juicer cover should align with the small plastic wings on the integrated pulp container. Lower into position.
NOTE
The juicing cover can be positioned in either of the plastic wings on the integrated pulp container.
Raise the safety locking arm up and lock into the two grooves on either side of the juicer cover. The safety locking arm should now be in a vertical position and locked into place on top of the juicer cover.
Slide the food pusher down the feed chute by aligning one of the grooves in the food pusher with the small bump on the inside of the top of the feed chute. Continue to slide the food pusher down the feed chute.
Place the juice jug provided sideways under the spout of the juicer. A graphic on the lid shows where the juicer spout is to be placed.

NOTE
The jug is designed to clip in under the spout to give it a positive location.
Glass could also be used to collect the juice, but using the jug and lid is recommended to avoid any splatter.

Functions

Wash your selection of fruit and vegetables ready for juicing.
Ensure the juicer is correctly assembled. Ensure the Nutri Disc™ is thoroughly cleaned before each use (refer to care and cleaning). Place the juice jug with lid fitted (or glass) under the spout before commencing juicing.
Plug the power cord into a 110/120V power outlet and push the ON/OFF button to ON.
With the motor running, place food into the feed chute. Using the food pusher, gently guide food down the feed chute. To extract the maximum amount of juice, always push the food pusher down slowly.
The juice will flow into the juice jug and the separated pulp will accumulate in the integrated pulp container.

NOTE

Most fruit and vegetables such as small apples, carrots, and cucumbers will not need to be cut to size as these will fit into the feed chute whole.
When juicing carrots place the tip of the carrot into the feed chute last.
When the integrated pulp container is full of pulp, it must be emptied before continuing to juice. (Refer to disassembling instructions).
Reassemble the machine to continue juicing.

WARNING
Never use fingers to push food down the feed chute or to clear the feed chute. Always use the food pusher provided.

DISASSEMBLING

Push the ON/OFF button on the juicer to off and unplug.
IMPORTANT
Wait for the filter basket to stop spinning before continuing to step 2.
Pull the locking arm back over the grooves on either side of the juicer cover.
Move the locking arm down.
Remove the integrated pulp container (preferably with the juicer cover, Nutri Disc™, and food pusher in place) by lifting vertically from the motor base. Take it to the sink for easy cleaning.
Remove the food pusher by lifting it vertically.
Remove the juicer cover from the integrated pulp container by lifting it vertically.
Remove any pulp from the cover by using the flat end of the brush to gently scrape down the sides.
Remove the Nutri Disc™ by lifting it vertically from the pulp bowl surround.
Empty the pulp from the integrated pulp container into a side bowl for composting or into the bin.
Use the flat end of the brush to gently scrape down inside the pulp container.

WARNING
The stainless steel filter basket contains small sharp blades to cut and process fruits and vegetables. Do not touch blades when handling the filter basket.

Care & Cleaning

Always ensure that the juicer is turned off then remove the plug from the power outlet before cleaning, dissembling, and storing the appliance.
Follow these instructions to clean all surfaces of parts that come into contact with food during normal use.
For easy cleaning – immediately after each use always turns the juicer off and then unplug.
Then rinse removable parts under running water (to remove wet pulp). Allow parts to air dry.
After disassembling the unit, all removable parts may be washed in hot soapy water, or dishwasher safe parts may be placed in the dishwasher.
The juicer cover, integrated pulp container, Nutri Disc™, and juice jug are dishwasher safe, (top shelf only).
Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth.
For consistent juicing results always ensure that the Nutri Disc™ is thoroughly cleaned using the supplied nylon bristle brush. Using the nylon washing brush, hold the Nutri Disc™ under running water and brush the inside of the basket, hold it up towards a light to ensure the fine mesh holes are not blocked. If the holes are blocked soak the stainless steel filter basket in hot water with 10% lemon juice to loosen the blocked holes. Alternatively, wash the stainless steel filter basket in the dishwasher.
Do not soak the Nutri Disc™ in bleach.
Always treat the Nutri Disc™ with care as it can be easily damaged.
Discoloration of the plastic may occur with brightly colored fruit and vegetables. To help prevent this, wash parts immediately after use.
If discoloration does occur, the plastic parts can be soaked in 10% lemon juice and water or they can be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner.

NOTE
To assist with cleaning soak the Nutri Disc™ in hot soapy water for approximately 10 minutes immediately after juicing is completed. If the pulp is left to dry on the filter it may clog the fine pores of the filter mesh thereby lessening the effectiveness of the juicer.
For your convenience, a nylon cleaning brush has been included with your juicer.

WARNING
Do not immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid. Do not use a water jet to clean the motor base.
The center of the filter basket and feed chute contains small sharp blades to process fruit and vegetables during the juicing function. Do not touch blades when handling the filter basket or feed chute.

Tips

THE INSIDE INFORMATION ON JUICING

Although juice drinks are usually developed with flavor, texture, and aroma at the forefront, the health benefits certainly add to the pleasurable taste experience.
Up to 70% of the nutrient content of fruit and vegetables is found in the juice. Liquids extracted from fresh fruit and vegetables form an important part of a well-balanced diet. Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are an easy-to-make source of vitamins and minerals.
Juices are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, therefore, being the quickest way in which the body can digest nutrients.
When you make your own juices, you have complete control over what you include in them. You select the ingredients and decide if you need to use sugar, salt, or other flavoring agents.

PURCHASING AND STORAGE OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES

Always wash fruit and vegetables before juicing.
Always use fresh fruit and vegetables for juicing.
To save money and obtain fresher produce, purchase fruit or vegetables that are in season.
Keep your fruit and vegetables ready for juicing by washing them before storing them.
Most fruits and hardier-type vegetables can be stored at room temperature.
The more delicate and perishable items such as tomatoes, berries, leafy greens, celery, cucumbers, and herbs should be stored in the refrigerator until required.

PREPARATION OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES

If using fruits with hard or inedible skins such as mangoes, melons, or pineapple, always peel before juicing.
Citrus fruit can be juiced in the juicer if peeled first.
All fruits with pits, hard seeds, or stones such as nectarines, peaches, mangoes, apricots, plums, and cherries must be pitted before juicing.
A small amount of lemon juice can be added to apple juice to prohibit browning.

NOTE
Your juicer makes invigorating, frothy orange juice. Simply peel the oranges and juice. (It is best to refrigerate oranges before juicing).

THE RIGHT TECHNIQUE

When juicing a variety of ingredients with varying textures start with the softer textured ingredients then change to harder texture ingredients.
If you are juicing herbs, sprouts or leafy green vegetables either wrap them together to form a bundle or juice them in the middle of a combination of ingredients to obtain the best extraction.

NOTE
If juicing herbs or leafy green vegetables on their own, the juice yield will be low due to the nature of centrifugal juicing, it is advised to juice them as with a combination of other fruit and vegetables.

All fruit and vegetables produce different amounts of liquids. This varies within the same group i.e. one batch of tomatoes can produce more juice than another batch. Since juice recipes are not exact, the precise quantities of any juice are not crucial to the success of a particular mixture.

NOTE
To extract the maximum amount of juice always push the food pusher down slowly.

GETTING THE RIGHT BLEND

It is easy to create great-tasting juice. If you have been making your own vegetable and fruit juices, then you know how simple it is to invent new combinations. Taste, color, texture, and ingredient preferences are personal things. Just think of some of your favorite flavors and foods – would they work well together or would they clash. Some bold flavors could overpower the more subtle flavors of others. Is however, a good rule of thumb is to combine starchy, pulpy ingredients with those high in moisture.

USING THE PULP

The remaining pulp left after juicing fruit or vegetables is mostly fiber and cellulose which, like the juice, contains vital nutrients necessary for the daily diet and can be used in many ways. However, like the juice, the pulp should be used that day to avoid loss of vitamins. Some of the uses of pulp are to bulk out rissoles, thicken casseroles or soups, or in the case of fruit, simply placed in a bowl topped with meringue and bake for a simple dessert. Apart from the consumption use, the pulp is greatly used in the garden for compost.

NOTE
When using the pulp, there may be some pieces of fruit or vegetables remaining. These should be removed before using the pulp in any recipe.
