Philips HR1861 - Manual (Page 8)

Do not exert too much pressure on the pusher, as this could affect the quality of the end result and
it could even cause the filter to come to a halt.
Never insert your fingers or an object into the feeding tube.
After you have processed all ingredients and the juice flow has stopped, switch off the appliance and
wait until the filter has stopped rotating.
5 Slide the foam separator into the juice jug (1) and place the lid on the juice jug (2). In this
way, the foam stays behind in the jug when you pour out the juice. (Fig. 10)
Note: If you want your drink to have a foamy layer, do not use the foam separator.
tips
- Use fresh fruit and vegetables, as they contain more juice. Pineapples, beetroots, celery stalks,
apples, cucumbers, carrots, spinach, melons, tomatoes, pomegranates, oranges and grapes are
particularly suitable for processing in the juice extractor.
- You do not have to remove thin peels or skins. Only thick peels, e.g. those of oranges, pineapples
and uncooked beetroots need to be removed. Also remove the white pith of citrus fruits
because it has a bitter taste.
- When preparing apple juice, remember that the thickness of the apple juice depends on the
kind of apple you are using. The juicier the apple, the thinner the juice. Choose a kind of apple
that produces the type of juice you prefer.
- Apple juice turns brown very quickly. To slow down this process, add a few drops of lemon juice.
- Fruits that contain starch, such as bananas, papayas, avocados, figs and mangoes are not suitable
for processing in the juice extractor. Use a food processor, blender or bar blender to process
these fruits.
- Leaves and leaf stalks of e.g. lettuce can also be processed in the juice extractor.
- Drink the juice immediately after you have extracted it. If it is exposed to air for some time, the
juice will lose its taste and nutritional value.
- To extract the maximum amount of juice, always press the pusher down slowly.
- The juicer is not suitable for processing very hard and/or fibrous/starchy fruits or vegetables
such as sugar cane.
Cleaning
Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as alcohol, petrol or
acetone to clean the appliance.
The appliance is easier to clean if you do so immediately after use.
1 Switch off the appliance. Remove the plug from the wall socket and wait until the filter has

4 Clean these parts with a cleaning brush in warm water with some washing-up liquid and
