Braun MP 80 - Manual (Page 5)

Extracting juice
• Put fruit or vegetables into the filling shaft .
Turn the switch on = «/» and press lightly
with the pusher (A). Add further fruits or
vegetables while the motor is running.
• The amount of juice you extract depends
on the nature of the fruits and vegetables.
When processing berries the quantity of juice
will be smaller, because of their high amount
of pectin (pectin is a natural gelatine).
(Special berry presses or steam presses are
better suited to that type of fruit).
• Fruit and vegetable juices contain valuable
vitamins and minerals, which quickly
deteriorate when they come into contact
with oxygen or light. Drink juice fresh – right
after is has been extracted.
Emptying the pulp container and filter
You can extract juice continuously until the pulp
container is full:
• When processing produce with high liquid
content (e.g. tomatoes, grapes, melons):
Do not process more than 3 kg of fruit or
vegetables before emptying the pulp
container.
• When processing drier produce (e.g. carrots,
pears, apples):
Empty the pulp container as soon as it looks
full.
If the juice suddenly becomes much thicker or
if you can hear the motor speed slow down,
the filter must be emptied (see «Disassembling»).
Empty the pulp and put the appliance together
again.
Disassembling
• Turn the switch off = «0».
• Remove the pusher . Remove the filling tray
. Swing open the pulp container , push
it up and pull off downward diagonally (B).
(When replacing the pulp container, insert the
top first.)
• Press the unlocking buttons on both sides
of the juicer (C), to unlock the cover .
Remove the cover.
• Remove the juice ring 5 together with the filter
. Take the filter out of the juice ring.
Cleaning
• Always remove the plug from the socket first!
• Clean the motor part with a damp cloth
only – never immerse it in water. All other
plastic parts con be washed in the dishwasher
or using warm water and normal dishwashing
liquids. The plastic parts may discolor when
processing food with a high pigment content
(e.g. carrots): Use vegetable oil to clean before
using the dishwasher.
Important: The filter is not dishwashersafe,
but can easily be cleaned with a small brush.
Do not use a damaged filter. We recommend
to replace the filter after 5 years (available at
Braun Service Centres).
For space-saving storage, place the filling tray
upside down on top of the juicer.
Subject to change without notice.

Juice combinations
Juices can be mixed to create new taste
combinations and to increase the variety of
vitamins and minerals in the drink. In general, mix
fruit juices with other fruit juices; vegetable juices
with other vegetable juices (apple juice, however,
mixes well with either vegetable or other fruit
juices). Dilute juices from dark green vegetables
with two to three parts carrot or apple juice. Here
are some tasty combinations:
Apple-carrot: equal parts apple &
carrot juices
Grape-apple: equal parts apple &
grape
Carrot-cucumber-beet: 3 parts carrot, 1 part
cucumber, 1 part beet
Carrot-beet-spinach: 3 parts carrot, 1 part
beet, 1 part spinach
Watermelon-cantaloupe: equal parts water-
melon & cantaloupe
