Philips HR1861 [8/124] English

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 lter to come to a halt.

Never insert your ngers or an object into the feeding tube.

After you have processed all ingredients and the juice ow has stopped, switch off the appliance and

wait until the lter 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, gs 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 brous/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 lter has

stopped rotating.

2 Remove the dirty parts from the motor unit. Dissassemble the appliance in the following

order:

- Remove the pulp container;

- Remove the pusher;

- Open the clamps;

- Remove the lid.

3 Remove the juice collector together with the lter (Fig. 11).

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

rinse them under the tap (Fig. 12).
