Tips for safety:

• In cases of danger, immediately remove the power plug from the wall socket.

• Use the appliance exclusively for the purposes described in these operating instructions.

• Always be alert! Always pay attention to what wiitthh cco mo use the appliance when you are distracted or don’t feel well.

• Ensure that the appliance is correctly and completely assembled before taking it into use. The appliance can first be taken into use when the clamps have been closed.

• After every use of the juice extractor ensure that the On/Off switch is moved to the position "Off"

("0"). . The motor must come to a complete stop before you begin to disassemble the appliance.

• Remove the power plug from the wall socket when the appliance is taken out of use, when removing components and before cleaning it.

• Do not use the appliance outdoors.

1. Place the juice catchment bowl t on the appliance base u , so that the three tenons and the juice outlet y are securely caught in the recesses.

2. Place the filter d on the drive shaft f and press it down so that it perceptibly engages. Ensure that it is firmly seated before continuing with the assembly.

3. Place the housing lid e on the juice catchment bowl t , so that the loading shaft is sitting above the cutters of the filter d .

4. Ensure that the housing lid e is sitting firmly in the recesses of the juice catchment bowl t . Lift the clasps r and hook them into the notches on the housing lid e .

5. Press the lower part of the claps r against the appliance until they engage.

6. Slide the container for fruit pulp and vegetable mash s from below under the ejection shaft.

7. Push the foam separator plate in the separate juice collector h and then put the lid on. Place the separate juice collector h next to the appliance so that the juice outlet y projects into the juice collector h .

8. Insert the power plug i into the wall socket.

Assembling and operating the appliance

• Select a safe and secure positioning for the juice extractor. For optimal handling we recommend that the appliance is positioned with the power cable running from the rear of the appliance to the wall socket. All operating elements can now be directly and easily handled:

- at the front, the On/Off switch o ,

- to the left, the container for fruit pulp and vegetable mash s

- to the right, the outlet pipe for the juice y .

Warning:

Ensure that the appliance is switched off and the plug removed from the wall socket before assembling the appliance. If you do not, there is a great risk that you could injure yourself.

Preparing the fruits/vegetables

- 4 -

• Important: Use only well ripened fruit, as otherwise the filter d could become quickly blocked.

This would require repeated cleaning of the filter d .

• Wash or peel the fruits/vegetables that you wish to process.

• Large seeds or stones should always be removed before filling the appliance.

• Stone fruit (such as apples, pears) can be processed with the skin and seed centres. Remove all other stones (peaches, plums etc.), all large seeds (melons etc.) and stalks to avoid possible damage to the appliance.

• Fruits and vegetables with thick peels (e.g. citrus fruits, melons, kiwis, beets) must always be peeled first.

IB_54374_SFE450A1_LB6.qxd 17.06.2010 15:23 Uhr Seite 5

• The main stalk is to be removed from grapes.

• Cut the fruit or vegetables into pieces that are sized to fit into the loading shaft w .

• Before juicing, place the carrots in water for about 24 hours. Afterwards, guide them one after the other into the filling shaft w : thereby, the thicker end of the carrot, where the leaves were, must be facing down and the thinner root tip must be upmost.

Note:

Raisins are not suitable for juicing as they contain too little juice. Rhubarb or other fibrous vegetables/ fruits are not suitable for juicing as the fibres block the juice extractor.

Juicing

Warning:

DO NOT operate the juice extractor for longer than

30 minutes (CO-Time) without a break. After 30 minutes of continuous use allow the juice extractor to cool down. Otherwise the appliance could be damaged.

Warning:

NEVER insert your hands or other objects into the loading shaft w when working with the appliance.

This could lead to grave personal injuries and/or serious damage to the appliance.

1. Switch the appliance on at the On/Off switch o .

For fruit varieties that contain a lot of juice use speed setting I.

For drier fruits select speed level II .

2. Hold the stodger q in one hand and feed the fruit and vegetable pieces with the other hand into the loading shaft w . ALWAYS use the stodger q to carefully press the fruit/vegetable pieces into the loading shaft w . Whilst the loaded fruit/ vegetables are being processed, insert further pieces into the loading shaft. Do not switch the appliance off.

Note:

To avoid fruit or vegetables becoming blocked in the loading shaft w , only fill it when the appliance is switched on. Should fruit or vegetable pieces become stuck in the loading shaft w and they cannot be promptly freed with the stodger q , proceed as follows to avoid damage to the appliance:

• Immediately switch the appliance off and remove the power plug i from the wall socket.

• Loosen the clasps r and remove the housing lid e .

• Remove the fruit or vegetable pieces causing the blockage.

• Reassemble the appliance and continue with juice extraction.

3. Always switch the appliance off immediately after all of the fruit/vegetables have been processed.

Warning:

To avoid blockage of the juice outlet y and/or damage to the appliance, regularly clean the juice outlet y and juice container t , and always after every usage.

Emptying the pulp container and the filter

You can extract juices continuously until the container for fruit pulp and vegetable mash s is completely full.

- 5 -

IB_54374_SFE450A1_LB6.qxd 17.06.2010 15:23 Uhr Seite 6

Warning:

Remove the plug from the power source when emptying the filter d . This prevents an unintended starting of the motor.

When the extracted juices suddenly become thicker, or when you hear that the motor is running slower, the filter d must be emptied. When you have removed the fruit pulp/vegetable mash, reassemble the appliance.

Disassembly of the juice extractor

If you wish to disassemble the juice extractor, e.g. to clean it, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the power plug from the wall socket i .

2. Open the clasps r .

3. Remove the housing lid e with the stodger q .

4. Carefully lift up the juice container t . With this, the filter d releases itself from the drive shaft f .

You can now take the filter d out of the juice container t .

• Switch the appliance off at the On/Off switch o .

• Soiling or overflowing fruit juices should be cleared away immediately, as fruit stains are difficult to remove later.

• For cleaning the appliance housing and the power cable, use a cloth that is only lightly moistened.

• Clean the stodger q , the separate juice collector h , the housing lid e and the container for fruit pulp and vegetable mash s in warm soapy water and then carefully rinse them off.

The stodger lid q , the juice container t , the housing e , the separate juice collector h and the container for fruit pulp and vegetable mash s are suitable for cleaning in a dishwasher and can be cleaned there. To clean the filter d , use the supplied nylon brush g :

Cleaning and Care

Warning:

ALWAYS remove the power plug from the wall socket before removing or installing accessories and before cleaning the appliance. To avoid blockage of the juice outlet and/or damage to the appliance, all appliance and ancillary parts must be regularly, and after every use, cleaned free of fruit pulp and vegetable mash.

Note:

DO NOT use any aggressive cleaning agents to clean the juice extractor. The appliance and its ancillaries may not be cleaned in boiling water.

Warning:

To avoid receiving an electrical shock, NEVER submerse the motor/appliance base u in water or other fluids.

• Turn the lid of the stodger q until the arrow points to the opened lock on the stodger shaft. You can now remove it.

The nylon brush g is inside the stodger q . To re-close the lid, place it on the stodger so that the arrow points to the opened lock .

Then turn it until the arrow points at the closed lock . The lid now sits firmly.

• Hold the filter d (with the underside upwards) under running water and clean it with the nylon brush g .

Colouring:

• Some fruits or vegetables could permanently discolour parts of the juice extractor. This is not damaging and does not impair the appliance in its functions.
