SUNBEAM JUICER.
• Ensure the juicer is correctly and completely
assembled before turning the appliance ‘On’.
• Do not put fingers or other objects into the feed
chute whilst the juicer is in operation.
• Do not push fruit or vegetables into the feed chute
with your fingers, always use the food pusher

• If any fruit or vegetables become lodged in the
feed chute, use the food pusher or turn off the
juicer, remove the plug from the power outlet
and disassemble to remove the lodged fruit or
vegetables.
• Ensure the juicer cover is clamped securely and
pulp container is in place before juicer is turned
on. Do not unfasten the twin-locking handles while

Helpful hints for juicing
Preparing fruit and vegetables
Bananas can be hard to juice but the taste
goes a long way. When juicing a blend of
fruit with bananas, add the banana as either
the first or second piece of fruit. The nectar
of the banana will sit inside the filtering
basket and as the remaining fruits are added
into the juice extractor they will release the
banana nectar throughout the rest of the
juice resulting in frothy flavoursome juice.
Wash all fruit and vegetables well before
juicing. There is no need to peel vegetables
that have a thin skin but a light scrub with
a clean sponge will help rid of any dirt that
may be stuck on or any waxy coatings.
Peel fruit and vegetables that have a thick
skin such as melons, pineapple and citrus
fruit.
When juicing small fruit such as grapes or
strawberries, add the fruit in handfuls rather
than one at a time, this will maximise the
amount of juice extracted.
Juice only the freshest of fruit and vegetables
to get the most out them and the best
flavours.
Cut large pieces of fruit, such as melons into
wedges.
Be aware that beetroot stains all other fruit
and vegetables. If juicing several different
juice combinations, juice the drink with the
beetroot last, so as to not stain the other
drinks.
Some seeds from citrus fruits can be bitter
so you may want to remove some of the seeds
if desired.
Remove seeds and stones from fruit such as
mangoes, papaya and stone fruit. This will
prevent the blade from getting damaged.
Juicing techniques
When juicing different fruit and vegetables it
may help to juice in different combinations.
For example, when juicing apples and
oranges, juice the soft fruit (oranges) first,
then follow with the hard fruit (apples)
second. This will help you to achieve the
maximum juice extraction from the fruit and
vegetables.
When juicing fresh herbs such as mint or
parsley, add the herbs in between the fruit
and vegetables to get the most out of the
herb or if only using a small quantity, add the
herb at the same time as a piece of fruit and
vegetable.

Assembling your juicer
Before Use
3.Position the stainless steel blade and
filtering basket onto the motor drive shaft
and push down until firmly in place.
After unpacking your juicer, we recommend
that you dissemble the unit before using
for the first time. Wash all parts except the
motor base in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry
immediately.
Figure 3
Important: Always ensure your juicer is
unplugged from the power outlet when not
in use, during assembling or whilst removing
parts.

collector / bowl, with the feed chute
positioned over the stainless steel blade
and filtering basket and push into position.

Assembling your juicer (continued)
5.Secure the juicer cover by raising the twin-
locking handles and clip the tops to the
juicer cover. Press firmly on the lower part
of the twin-locking handles to lock into
place.
7.Take the food pusher, align the groove
on the food pusher with the notch on
the inside of the feed chute and
slide the food pusher down into
the feed chute.

6.Slightly tilt the pulp container and slide
into place under the juicer cover.
Tip: To reduce cleaning we recommend that
you line the pulp container with a plastic bag
to collect the pulp.

Operating your juicer
Note: The juicer should be completely
assembled before use, if this is not the case
see ‘Assembling your juicer’ on page 7.
1.Ensure the control switch on the juicer is
in the ‘Off’ position and insert the power
cord into a 230-240V AC power outlet and
turn the power ‘On’.
2.Clean fruits and vegetables thoroughly and
remove any stems, large pits, stones and
seeds. All fruits and vegetables should be
cut into pieces to fit into the feed chute.
4.Place a jug or glass under the juice spout.
5.Switch the juicer to the ‘On’ position to
start juicing. Place food into the feed chute
slowly and steadily using the food pusher.
Important: Do not operate for more than 1
minute at a time when juicing heavy loads.
None of the recipes in this manual are
considered a heavy load.
Important: Do not push fruit or vegetables into
the feed chute with your fingers, always use
the food pusher provided.
3.Ensure that the juicer has been assembled
completely and correctly, making sure
that the stainless steel blade and filtering
basket revolves properly before placing fruit
and vegetables in the juicer.
Note: The stainless steel blade and filtering
basket should be cleaned thoroughly before
each use, see ‘Care and cleaning’ on
page 10.
6.The juice from the fruit and vegetables will
flow directly into the jug or glass and the
pulp will be separated and collected in the
pulp container.
Important: When juicing be aware of the level
of pulp in the pulp collection container,
because if the container is overfilled this can
cause damage to the appliance and prevent
the juicer from operating correctly.
7.When juicing is complete ensure that the
juicer is switched ‘Off’ and unplugged from
the power outlet.
9
Care and cleaning
Note: Ensure that the juicer is unplugged
from the power outlet prior to cleaning.
Using a cleaning brush, hold the stainless
steel blade and filtering basket under running
water and brush the outside of the basket
first. Then with the basket still under running
water, brush the inside of the basket in an
anti-clockwise direction, removing the pulp.
To ensure the stainless steel blade and
filtering basket is free of all remaining pulp,
hold it up to light and ensure that the holes
in the filtering basket are not blocked.
Important: Do not place any part of your juicer
in the dishwasher.
Quick clean
For easy cleaning, ensure that immediately
after use that the juicer is disassembled and
that each removable part is rinsed under
running water, removing any wet pulp and
then allow to air dry.
Important: Juicing blades are very sharp,
handle juicing filter basket with care when
removing, replacing and cleaning.

collector, juicer cover, pulp container and
food pusher under running water and wash
with warm, soapy water. Rinse well.
To clean the motor base
Clean the motor base of the juicer using a
damp soft sponge with mild detergent and
wipe over the appliance.
Important: Never immerse the motor base in
water or any other liquid.
