tips
Preparation
- To extract the maximum amount of juice, always press the pusher down slowly.
- Use fresh fruit and vegetables, as they contain more juice. Pineapples, beetroots, celery stalks,
apples, cucumbers, carrots, spinach, melons, tomatoes, oranges and grapes are particularly
suitable for processing in the juicer.
- The juicer is not suitable for processing very hard and/or fibrous or starchy fruits or vegetables
such as sugar cane.
- Leaves and leaf stalks of e.g. lettuce can also be processed in the juicer.
- Remove stones from cherries, plums, peaches, etc. You do not have to remove cores or
seeds from fruits like melons, apples and grapes.
- When you use the juicer, you do not have to remove thin peels or skins. Only remove thick
peels that you would not eat, e.g. those of oranges, pineapples, kiwis, melons and uncooked
beetroots.
- When you prepare apple juice, take into consideration that the thickness of the apple juice
depends on the kind of apple you use. The juicier the apple, the thinner the juice. Choose a kind
of apple that produces the type of juice you prefer.
- If you want to process citrus fruits with the juicer, remove the peel as well as the white pith. The
white pith gives juice a bitter taste.
- Fruits that contain starch, such as bananas, papayas, avocados, figs and mangoes are not suitable
for processing in the juicer. Use a food processor, blender or hand blender to process these fruits.
serving
- Drink the juice immediately after you have extracted it. If it is exposed to air for some time, the
juice loses its taste and nutritional value.
- If you want clear juice without a foam layer, put the lid with integrated foam separator on the
jug. If you want cloudy juice with a foam layer, remove the lid with integrated foam separator
from the jug.
- Apple juice turns brown very quickly. To slow down this process, add a few drops of lemon juice.
- When you serve cold drinks, add a few ice cubes.
