User manual AEG-ELECTROLUX ESF 103.1

[. . . ] Never insert any long objects, such as kitchen knives, food slices, etc. Before maintenance or cleaning, make sure that the appliance is switched off and unplugged. [. . . ] The appliance can only be switched on, if all parts of the appliance are properly assembled and joined together. For soft fruit and vegetables = Knob to the right For firm fruit and vegetables = Knob to the left To switch off the juice extractor, turn the knob to "0". Observe the freshness rule: Buy fresh, extract fresh and drink fresh, to get the most vitamins from your fruit and vegetables. Only just before juice extraction should you chop the fruit or vegetables into pieces small enough to pass conveniently through the filling shaft. Pulp and suspended matter are carriers of vegetable proteins, minerals, and vitamins as important constituents of fresh juices. If the juice is to be stored in the fridge, please cover it or pour it into a clean bottle with a top to prevent contamination with flavours from other foodstuffs. Either cut the heads into suitably sized pieces or remove the leaves from the stalk and roll them into a ball. Cucumbers, melons, papaya, pomegranates Do not peel or remove skins (except for melons), cut into suitably sized pieces, do not remove the centre with the seeds but extract the juice from the whole fruit. The very hard flesh can cause unusual load on the motor and may even cause damage to the appliance. The skin tastes too strong and if not removed spoils the flavour of the juice. Curly kale, spinach, lettuce, garden herbs Do not feed these vegetables too quickly into the juice extractor. Berries give a somewhat thicker juice, because they start to become gelatinous during the juicing process. [. . . ] When the motor has stopped, clean the strainer basket and the ejection hole. ­ The foodstuffs from which the juice is being extracted are not equally distributed. [. . . ]
