• Most fruit and vegetables may be stored at a cool place. Only delicate food (e.g.
greens, stalks of celery, cucumbers, herbs) need to be stored in the refrigerator.
Fresh herbs and delicate greens should be packed in an airtight bag or box and
consumed before long.
• Whenever possible, buy highly perishable food (e.g. greens, most berries) just
before processing and consumption.
Preparing Fruit and Vegetables for Juicing
• Before juicing, peel fruit with hard and inedible shells and skins (e.g. melons,
kiwi fruit).
• Always remove stones and hard seeds, before juicing; e.g. when processing
dates, nectarines, peaches, apricots, plums, or cherries.
• Citrus fruit must be peeled before juicing, and there will be a lot of pulp within the
juice. Depending on the type of fruit, the juice may be very sour. It may the bet-
ter to use a special citrus squeezer and add the juice to other juices for adapting
the taste. Depending on the desired consistency of the juice, you may get good
results, when juicing citrus fruit in turn with the other ingredients.
• Your juicer can make a delicious, frothy orange drink. For this, it is best to refrige-
rate the oranges and then peel just before juicing. Give it a try.
• You avoid the typical brownish discolouration of apple juice or pulp by adding a
splash of lemon juice. Alternatively, add a piece of lemon during juicing.
The Method
• You may line the interior of the pulp container with a sufficiently large bag. This
way, emptying the pulp container is done quickly and easily by taking out the
bag. Fold the upper rim of the bag over the rim of the pulp container before posi-
tioning the pulp container at the side of the appliance.
• Even some time after operation, the juice may drip from the juice spout of the
juice collector. You can stop dripping by simply turning the drip-stop by 180°
(see: ‘Drip-Stop Feature’). However, do not forget to re-open the drip-stop, before
juicing another portion.
• You can keep your working space clean, when holding a sufficiently large tray at
hand for placing the parts of the juicing system on it, when disassembling the juicer.
• The transparent insert in the juice jug (pouring shield) avoids splashing of the juice
during pouring and holds back the froth. You may use the juice jug without the
pouring shield. Simply pull the pouring shield out of the juice jug or push it down
into support within the juice jug as you like.
