■ Insert pusher into the filling shaft. Pusher has a guide groove!

Preparing fruit and vegetables
Caution!
Process ripe and unfrozen fruit and  vegetables only. Fruit and vegetables which  are not ripe will block the filter very quickly.
■ First, wash the fruit and vegetables.
■ Remove stones from fruit. Remove  large stalks.
■ Chop up large fruit and vegetables so  that they fit the filling shaft.
■ Process only fresh fruit and vegetables  because they are juicier.
■ Peel fruit beforehand if it has thick and  hard peel (e.g. pineapples, melons,  oranges, grapefruits , and raw beetroot).  Remove the pith from citrus fruits!
■ The consistency of apple juice depends  on the kind of apple used. The juicier  the apples, the thinner the juice. Add  a few drops of lemon juice to the apple  juice to delay the juice from turning  brown.
■ Leaves and stems (e.g. stalks from leaf  salad) can also be processed in this  juicer.
■ If possible, drink juice immediately after  preparation, as it loses its flavor and  nutritional value quickly.
■ Hard and starchy fruits and vegetables  (e.g. sugar cane, bananas, papayas,  avocados, figs , and mangos) are not  suitable for juicing in this appliance.
