FILLING THE WATER TANK
Lift the water tank from the machine. Remove the water tank lid and add potable water to the water tank, filling to the MAX marking indicated.

Replace the water tank onto the machine, ensuring it is properly attached and sitting flush against the back of the machine. If the 1 CUP, 2 CUP and STEAM buttons illuminate, the water tank has been correctly attached.

The machine will detect when the water level  is low. The 1 CUP, 2 CUP and STEAM buttons will not be illuminated.

When this occurs, add water to the water tank. Once there is sufficient water, all buttons will be illuminated and the machine can be used.
FILTER BASKETS
This machine includes both single and dual wall 1 Cup and 2 Cup filter baskets. Use the 1 cup filter basket when brewing a single cup and the 2 cup filter baskets when brewing 2 cups or a stronger single cup or mug. Adjust the grind amount and size if switching from a single basket to a double basket, or vice versa. The provided filter baskets are designed for:

• 1 Cup filter basket = 8-11g
• 2 Cup filter basket = 16-19g

SINGLE WALL FILTER BASKETS
Single Wall filter baskets should be used when grinding fresh whole coffee beans. They allow you to experiment with grind, dose and tamp to create a more balanced espresso.
DUAL WALL FILTER BASKETS
Dual Wall filter baskets should be used when using pre-ground coffee and older beans that are past the 30 day roast date.These regulate the pressure and helps to optimise the extraction regardless of the grind, dose and tamp pressure or freshness.

NOTE

You may need to experiment with how much coffee is dosed into the filter baskets or how long the grinder needs to run to achieve the correct dose. For example; when using a finer espresso grind with the Single Wall filter baskets, you may need to increase the grind amount to ensure the filter basket is correctly dosed.
COFFEE DOSE AND TAMPING

• Insert the filter basket into the portafilter.
• Grind enough coffee to fill the filter basket.
• Tap the portafilter several times to collapse and distribute the coffee evenly in the filter basket.
• Using the tamper, tamp down firmly (approx. 15- 20kgs of pressure). The amount of pressure is not as important as the consistent pressure every time.
• As a guide, the top edge of the cap on the tamper should be level with the top of the filter basket AFTER the coffee has been tamped.

NOTE

Use Razor™ dose trimming tool to precisely control the dose of ground coffee AFTER you tamp.

TRIMMING THE DOSE
The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool allows you to trim the puck to the right level for a consistent extraction.

• Insert the Razor™ tool into the coffee basket until the shoulders of the tool rest on the rim of the basket.
• Rotate the Razor™ dosing tool back and forth while holding the portafilter on an angle over the knock box to trim off excess coffee grinds. Your coffee filter is now dosed with the correct amount of coffee.
• Wipe excess coffee from the rim of the filter basket to ensure a proper seal is achieved in the group head.

Use to remove most of the ingredients off the blender walls and blades. Add 4 cups of warm soapy water to the blender jug and press the CLEAN button. For harder to clean, sticky or thick ingredients, add ½ teaspoon of liquid dish detergent for extra cleaning power. For best results, clean the blender jug this way immediately after use.

Tips

• The inner measuring cap can be removed and oils/liquids or other ingredients added during blending. Extreme care must be taken as depending on the mixture and speeds of operation, splashes can eject from the Lid. It is not suggested to remove the inner measuring cap when blending hot liquids.
• Do not exceed the maximum mark when adding foods and liquids into the blender.
• Run the blender only for the appropriate amount of time required – do not over blend ingredients.
• Use the PULSE | ICE CRUSH button when food is too thick or coarse to circulate within the blender jug.
• The tamper accessory can be used during blending by removing the inner measuring cap. Always make sure the main lid stays firmly in place.
• Ingredients may stick to the sides of the blender jug. To push food back onto the blades with the main lid on (inner cap removed), use the tamper provided to scrape down the sides of the jug, and continue blending.
• If any moisture or liquid spills on top of the motor base during blending, turn the blender off and unplug from the outlet. Remove the blender jug, and wipe motor base immediately with a dry cloth or paper towel.
• The optimum amount of ice cubes that the blender can process in the jug is 250g (approximately 1 standard ice tray).
• Thicker mixtures puree more efficiently if the jug is ¼ to ½ full.
• Do not use metal utensils, as they may damage the blades or blender jug.
• To remove any food that cannot easily be scraped out from under the blades, replace lid and turn blender back on high speed for 4­5 seconds to spin foods out from under blades.

Dry milling
Please note that milling hard ingredients like spices, nuts, sugar, coffee, grains, etc will cause scratching and clouding to the inside surfaces of the jug. This is a cosmetic result from milling these kinds of ingredients, and does not affect the performance of the jug.
Avoid over-processing spices though. Essential oils found in spices when combined with heat can damage the jug surface.
This blending chart should be used as a guide only.

Jug and Lid
To avoid food drying on blades, jug and lid, follow the below steps as soon as possible after use:

• Rinse most of the ingredients off the jug and lid.
• Add 1L of warm water and 1­2 drops of detergent and press the CLEAN button.
• Rinse the jug and lid again and/or wash separately in warm soapy water with a soft cloth or bottle brush.

WARNING
Oils in citrus rind can damage the material of your jug if being exposed to it for a longer period. Always clean your blender jug immediately after  processing citrus rind.

Motor base
To clean the motor base, wipe with a soft, damp cloth then dry thoroughly. Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord.

Cleaning agents
Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners on either the motor base or the jug, as they may scratch the surface. Use only warm soapy water with a soft cloth.

Dishwasher
The blender jug, tamper and lid can be washed in the dishwasher on a standard wash cycle. Jug can be placed on the bottom shelf, however the tamper should be on the top shelf only.

2 Litre jug
To remove, clean the jug and lid using the CLEAN instructions. Add 2 tablespoons bicarbonate of soda and ½ cup (125mL) vinegar into jug and let the mixture froth for 1 minute. Scrub the jug and lid with the mixture using a soft dishwashing brush. Add 2 cups warm water and allow to stand for 5 minutes.
Attach jug to blender base. Secure lid and then press the CLEAN button. Thoroughly rinse the jug, and allow to air dry. Store jug and lid with the lid off to allow air to circulate.

Stubborn food stains and odours
Strong smelling foods such as garlic and fish, and some vegetables such as carrots, may leave an odour or stain.

Dry milling
Milling hard ingredients like spices, nuts, sugar, coffee, grains, etc will cause scratching and clouding to the inside surfaces of the jug. Some spices and herbs release aromatic oils that may discolour the jug or leave an aroma. These are cosmetic results from milling these kinds of ingredients, and does not affect the performance of the jug.

Storage
Store your blender upright with the blender jug assembled on the motor base, or beside it. Do not place anything on top. To allow air to circulate, keep the lid off.

CLEANING THE STEAM WAND
IMPORTANT
After every use, thoroughly wipe the steam wand and tip with a damp cloth & purge immediately. Failure to clean the steam wand may affect the milk texturing performance. · If any of the holes in the tip of the steam wand
become blocked, ensure the machine stopped steaming and unblock using the steam tip cleaning tool. · If steam wand remains blocked, remove the tip and soak together with steam wand using the provided steam wand cleaning powder (instructions below). Screw tip back onto the steam wand after rinsing.
Steam Wand Tip
· The steam wand can be left immersed in the milk jug filled with water when not in use to reduce the risk of blockages.
Steam Wand Cleaning Powder 1. Add 1 packet into an empty milk jug. 2. Add 1 cup (8oz/240ml) hot water into
milk jug. 3. Remove steam tip and place with steam wand
into jug. 4. Leave to soak for 20 minutes.

5. Clean, rinse and replace steam tip. Place wand back into the jug and activate steam for 10 seconds.
6. Allow to soak for 5 minutes.
7. Activate steam several times to purge the steam wand, then rinse the wand thoroughly.
8. Wipe the steam wand dry with a clean cloth.
9. Discard solution & rinse jug thoroughly.
NOTE
Please ensure the steam wand tip is tightly fastened after cleaning to avoid temp sensing error.
CLEANING THE FILTER BASKET AND PORTAFILTER
· The filter basket and portafilter should be rinsed under hot water after each coffee making session to remove all residual coffee oils.
· If the holes in the filter basket become blocked, dissolve a cleaning tablet in hot water and soak filter basket and portafilter in solution for approx. 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.
CLEAR WATER BACKFLUSH
· After each coffee making session we recommend doing a clear water backflush before you turn off the machine. Empty drip tray. Insert the cleaning disc into the filter basket then insert the portafilter into the group head. Touch the `Brew’ button and allow pressure to build for 20 seconds, then touch to stop & release pressure. Repeat this 5 times to purge any fine coffee grounds and residual coffee oils from the brew water paths.
CLEANING THE SHOWER SCREEN
· The group head interior and shower screen should be wiped with a damp cloth to remove any ground coffee particles.
· Periodically, run hot water through the group head with the filter basket and portafilter in place, but without ground coffee. This will remove any residual ground coffee particles from the shower screen.
· If there seems to be stubborn build up on the shower screen, use the allen key to undo the screw in the middle of the shower screen, making note of which side faces into the group head.

12

CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY & STORAGE TRAY
· The drip tray should be removed, emptied and cleaned after each use.
· Remove grill from the drip tray. Wash the drip tray in warm soapy water.
· The storage tray can be removed and cleaned with a soft, damp cloth (do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which can scratch the surface).
CLEANING THE OUTER HOUSING & CUP WARMING TRAY
· The outer housing and cup warming tray can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Polish with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or cloths which can scratch the surface.
NOTE
Do not clean any of the parts or accessories in the dishwasher.
DESCALE
· Use this function to access the descale procedure when promoted on screen.
· The machine will enter descale mode if you choose to descale from the pop-up message or if you choose `Settings’ > `Descale Cycle’. Follow the instruction on the touch screen.
· Please ensure you allow approximately 1.5 hours to complete the entire descale process and follow the step by step instructions. If you’ve just finished using your machine, please ensure to turn the machine off and allow to cool for at least 1 hour before starting your descale process.

CARE & CLEANING

CARE & CLEANING

1. Before cleaning, ensure the POWER / DARKNESS control dial is set to the OFF position and then remove the power plug from the power outlet.
2. Allow your waffle maker to cool slightly before cleaning. The waffle maker is easier to clean when slightly warm.
3. Always clean your waffle maker after each use to prevent a build-up of baked-on foods. Wipe cooking plates and overflow moat with a soft cloth to remove food residue.

OPERATING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE

PREHEATING THE GRILL 

1. Ensure the top plate of the grill is in the closed position, with the Height Control Clip in the OPEN  position. This will ensure faster, more efficient preheating
2. Turn the PLATE TEMP dial to adjust the temperature in 5°C increments. Rotate the dial to SEAR (210°C– 230 °C) for fast preheating, PANINI (sandwich) (180°C– 205°C), LOW (160°C –175°C) or select an alternative temperature.
3. The grill will start to heat and the LCD screen will illuminate orange. The selected temperature that corresponds o PLATE TEMP will flash.
4.  Once the grill has preheated to the selected temperature, one alert will sound and the selected PLATE  TEMP will stop flashing.

NOTE
Always allow the grill to completely preheat to the selected temperature before cooking. The temperature corresponding to PLATE TEMP on the LCD may flash during the cooking process. This is normal, indicating that the correct temperature is being maintained.

ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT CONTROL
This feature reduces the weight of the top plate on delicate foods like fish and accommodates varying thicknesses of food like artisan bread. Located on the right side of the top plate, the clip fixes the top plate to a  range of positions above the bottom plate. To set the adjustable height control, use the handle to lift the top plate and simultaneously move the adjustable height control clip to the desired height. Then slowly lower the top plate until it rests on the adjustable height control clip.

ADJUSTABLE TILT CONTROL
The angle of the cooking plates can be adjusted by turning the PLATE TILT dial. The PLATE TILT dial is located on the lower back, right side of the grill. The unique indent between the two cooking plates channels juices from both plates into the same drip tray while cooking.

TEMPERATURE CONVERSION BUTTON

• The grill features a temperature conversion button on the left side of the LCD screen. The temperature reading on the grill is preset to Celsius. Pressing the temperature conversion button converts the Celsius temperature reading into Fahrenheit. The corresponding °C or °F symbol will be displayed on the LCD screen.
•  If you have changed the default Celsius temperature reading to Fahrenheit, the setting will remain in the memory of the grill until the Temperature Conversion Button is pressed a second time or the grill is unplugged from the wall outlet. When the grill is plugged back into the wall outlet, the temperature reading will automatically return to the preset Celsius setting.

INTEGRATED PROBE WITH SMART SETTINGS 
The integrated probe with smart settings is designed to help achieve consistent doneness results when cooking different meats.
5 meat settings have pre-programmed temperatures to suit your desired doneness. The set temperatures for each meat are displayed in the chart below.

REST INDICATOR
Resting meat for 3–5 minutes once it is taken off the grill is important as it allows the muscle fibres to relax and the juices to spread evenly throughout the meat, preventing juices and flavour from being lost as it is cut open.

When cooking to the desired doneness, it is important to remove the meat from the grill before it reaches the desired internal temperature as the residual heat will continue to cook the meat during the rest phase.
The Smart Grill Pro™has a REST MEAT indicator, which alerts you to remove your meat before the SET  TEMP is reached to prevent over cooking.

NOTE
The probe and smart settings have been optimised for cooking in contact mode with the PLATE TEMP dial turned to SEAR (230ºC).

USE AS A CONTACT GRILL WITH SMART SETTINGS AND PROBE

1.  For best results, set the PLATE  TEMP dial to SEAR (230°C).
2.  While the grill is preheating, adjust the angle of the cooking plates to the desired position by turning the  PLATE TILT dial. The PLATE TILT dial is located on the lower back, right side of the grill.
3.  Ensure the probe is installed correctly.
4.  Insert probe gently into the side of the meat, ensuring that it is positioned in the thickest part and directly in the centre of the meat.
5. To select meat type, rotate the FOOD dial to scroll through the food menu. An arrow indicator will show alongside selected meat.
6. Once the meat type is selected, press the SET TEMP button to scroll through doneness settings. An arrow indicator will show alongside selected doneness.
7. To open the grill:
   a) Ensure the grill has completely preheated and the LCD screen no longer flashes PLATE TEMP.
   b) Use the handle to open the top plate to a 90-degree position.
   c) Place meat with a probe inserted on the bottom cooking plate. For best results, ensure the PLATE TEMP  dial is set on SEAR (230°C).
8.  Use the handle to close the top cooking plate. When cooking with the probe it is recommended that the top plate of the grill is in the closed position, with the Height Control Clip in the OPEN position.
9. During cooking 3 alerts will sound and REST MEAT and selected doneness will flash to indicate it is time to remove the meat from the grill to rest.
10. When food is cooked, remove meat from grill using heatproof plastic or wooden utensils. Pull out probe and place the meat onto a plate or tray. Cover loosely with foil. Allow resting for a minimum of 5 minutes before serving.
11.  To turn off grill, turn the PLATE TEMP dial to the OFF position.

NOTE
The grill does not automatically stop cooking once the rest meat flashes. If meat is not removed you risk over cooking.

FOR BEST RESULTS

•  For even results, select meat with even thickness.
• When cooking cuts of meat with irregular thicknesses such as chicken breast, edges can remain slightly pink. After cooking is complete, sear any undercooked edges on the hot cooking plates.
• Do not use spray-on, non-stick coatings as these will affect the performance of the non-stick cooking plates.
• Never use metal or sharp utensils as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating of the cooking plates.

USE IN OPEN FLAT BBQ MODE
The grill opens flat into a 1650 sq. cm grilling surface. The ribbed cooking plate is perfect for searing meats while the flat cooking plate is ideal for eggs, pancakes and vegetables.

1. To open the grill into BBQ mode:
   a) Ensure the grill has completely preheated and the LCD screen no longer flashes PLATE TEMP.
   b) Ensure the top cooking plate is in the closed position, with the Height Control Clip in the OPEN  position.
   c) With your left hand, grip the handle.
   With your right hand, pull the Height Control Clip on the right side of the grill towards you, into the BBQ  mode position. Continue to pull the clip forward and simultaneously lift the handle to open, then gently lower the top plate into the horizontal BBQ mode position.
2. Place food on either or both of the cooking plates.
3.  If using the probe, repeat steps 3–6 on how to insert the probe and select desired doneness setting before placing meat on the grill.
   NOTE
   The probe and smart settings have been optimized for cooking in contact mode. As a result, additional cooking time may be required when using the probe in BBQ mode for best results, it is recommended to flip meat regularly.
4. During cooking 3 alerts will sound and REST MEAT and selected doneness will flash to indicate it is time  to remove the meat from the grill to rest.
5. When food is cooked, remove meat from grill using heatproof plastic or wooden utensils. Pull out the probe and place the meat onto a plate or tray. Cover loosely with foil. Allow resting for a minimum of 5 minutes before serving.
6. To turn off grill, turn the PLATE TEMP dial to the OFF position.

NOTE
Oils and/or fats captured by the drip tray during cooking, should not be consumed.

USE AS A SANDWICH  OR PANINI PRESS 

NOTE
If the probe is connected, food and doneness menus will be displayed. If the probe is disconnected, the LCD  will only display temperature that responds to PLATE TEMP.

1.  To open the grill:
   a) Ensure the grill has completely preheated and the LCD screen no longer flashes PLATE TEMP.
   b) Ensure the top cooking plate is closed.
   The Adjustable Height Control Clip, located on the right side of the top plate, should be in the OPEN position.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using your Sage® Blender for the first time, remove any packaging material and promotional labels.

Wash the lid, inner lid, blender jug (refer to “Care & Cleaning”) in warm, soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not place parts in the dishwasher (with the exception of the blender jug).

Please refer to the “Care & Cleaning” Section for further details. The motor base can be wiped with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

ASSEMBLING AND ATTACHING THE BLENDER

Step 1
Place the motor base on a flat, dry surface such as a counter-top. Ensure that the motor base is turned off at the ON / OFF button and the power cord is unplugged.

Step 2
With the blender jug in the upright position place it on the motor base. The handle of the blender can be positioned to the left or right hand side of the appliance.

Step 3
Add food or liquid into the blender jug ensuring not to exceed the ‘MAX’ mark.

Place the blender lid firmly into position on the top of the blender jug. Insert the clear inner measuring lid into the blender lid and turn clockwise to lock into position.

Your Sage® Blender features a Sage® Assist™ Lid. This allows the lid to fit tightly onto the blender jug, avoiding displacement during operation. The ring pull design allows the user to easily remove the lid with a simple leverage action.

Step 4
Plug power cord into a 220-­240V power outlet and turn on.

Step 5
Press the ON / OFF button on the far left of the control panel to turn the blender on.

The ON / OFF button will illuminate and flash. The LCD timer screen will illuminate with ’00’ displayed.

• Flashing light indicates ready to operate.
  Avoid any contact with moveable parts while in operation.
• Do not fill the blender jug above the ‘MAX’ line. When the blender jug is filled at or near the ‘MAX’ line place one hand on the blender lid to avoid displacement of the lid during operation.

WARNING

Oils in citrus rind can damage the material of your blender jug if being exposed to it for a longer period. Always clean your blender jug immediately after processing citrus rind.

6

MANUAL SPEED SELECTION ON / OFF

The ON / OFF button powers the unit into READY mode.

ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL

There are 5 electronic speed buttons from MIX through to LIQUIFY.
MIX combines more delicate foods with a folding motion, and is good for combining wet and dry ingredients.
LIQUIFY is the fastest setting, and is ideal for breaking down ingredients to make cocktails and other finely blended mixtures.
Select the required speed (1 to 5) by pressing the corresponding speed button. The blender will start to operate and the selected speed button will illuminate. The ON / OFF button will illuminate and cease to flash.
The LCD timer screen will start counting up in one second increments until 120 seconds is reached.

Operate the blender only for the appropriate amount of time required ­ do not over blend. When 120 seconds is reached, the blender will automatically stop blending and the selected speed button illumination will go out.
The ON / OFF button will illuminate and flash. After a few seconds the LCD timer screen will revert to ’00’.

• The Sage® Blender will automatically stop blending after 120 seconds. This is a safety feature and restricts wear on the motor.
• The speed can be changed at any time during the blending process. Each time a new speed is selected its button will illuminate and the previous speed button illumination will go out. The number of seconds on the LCD timer screen will continue to count upwards to 120 seconds unless interrupted.

Count-up timer
The blender timer counts up in seconds as it blends on one of the 5 electronic speeds from MIX to LIQUIFY. When using the timer this way, the blender will stop after 2 minutes.

PRESET PROGRAMS

Your Sage® Blender features three additional functions, ‘AUTO PULSE/ICE CRUSH’, ‘GREEN SMOOTHIE’ and ‘SMOOTHIE’. These three pre-programmed cycles automatically adjust the blending time and speeds to optimise blending results. The maximum amount of ice cubes the blender can blend at any one time is 1 standard ice tray or 250g. Select the required function by pressing the corresponding function button. The blender will start to operate and the selected function button will illuminate. The ON / OFF button will illuminate and stop flashing. The LCD timer screen will start counting down in one second increments until ’00’ is displayed.

AUTO CLEAN
Use to remove most of the ingredients off the blender walls and blades. Add 2 cups warm soapy water, and press the clean button.
For harder to clean, sticky or thick ingredients, add ½ teaspoon of dish liquid detergent for extra cleaning power. For best results, clean the blender jug this way immediately after use.

NOTE

If the blender is running and a different button is pressed, the speed will automatically switch to that program without stopping.

Never place anything other than food and liquids in the blender while the motor is running.

NOTE

Use the PULSE button when the food that is being processed is too thick or coarse to circulate within the blender jug.
At the end of use, always ensure the blender is turned off by pressing the ON / OFF button on the control panel. Then unplug the cord. Ensure the motor and blades have completely stopped before attempting to move the appliance, or when the Sage® Blender is not in use and before disassembling, cleaning and storing.

7

Care & Cleaning

Jug and lid
In order to keep your Jug clean and avoid food drying on the blades and jug, follow the below steps as soon as possible after use

• Rinse most of the ingredients off the jug and lid.
• Fill the jug with 500ml of warm water and press the AUTO CLEAN button. If thick or sticky ingredients require extra cleaning power add a few drops of dish liquid detergent.
• Rinse the jug and lid again and/or wash separately in warm soapy water with a soft cloth or bottle brush.
• It is most effective to clean the jug immediately after use.

Motor base
To clean the motor base, wipe with a soft, damp cloth then dry thoroughly. Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord.

Cleaning agents
Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners on either the motor base or the jug, as they may scratch the surface. Use only warm soapy water with a soft cloth.

Dishwasher
The blender jug and lid can be washed in the dishwasher on a standard wash cycle. The jug can be placed on the bottom shelf, however the lid and inner measuring cap should be washed on the top shelf only. Be aware that washing parts on a regular base in the dishwasher can shorten the life of them due to prolonged exposure to harsh detergents, hot water and pressure.

Stubborn food stains and odours
Strong smelling foods such as garlic, fish and some vegetables such as carrots may leave an odour or stain on the blender jug and lid. To remove, soak blender jug and lid for 5 minutes in warm soapy water. Then wash with a mild detergent and warm water, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Store jug with the lid off.

Storage
Store your blender upright with the blender jug assembled on the motor base, or beside it. Do not place anything on top. To allow air to circulate, keep the lid off.

Assembly

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using your juicer for the first time, remove any packaging material and promotional stickers and labels. Ensure the appliance is switched off at the power outlet and the power cord is unplugged.
Wash the filter bowl surround, Nutri Disc™, juicer cover, Froojie® Disc, Froojie® Insert, food pusher, pulp container and juice jug and lid in warm, soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The motor base can be wiped with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

FOR USE WITH JUICE EXTRACTOR

1. Place the motor base on a flat, dry surface such as a bench top. Ensure that the motor base is switched OFF at the control panel, then switch the appliance off at the power outlet and unplug the cord.
2. Place the filter bowl surround on top of the motor base.

3. Align the arrows at the base of the Nutri Disc™ with the arrows on the motor drive coupling and push down until it clicks into place. Ensure the Nutri Disc™ is fitted securely inside the filter bowl surround and onto the motor base.

4. Place the juicer cover over the filter bowl surround, positioning the feed chute over the juice disc and lower into position.

5. Raise the safety locking arm up and locate it into the two grooves on either side of the juicer cover. The safety locking arm should now be in a vertical position and locked into place on top of the juicer cover.

6. Slide the food pusher down the feed chute by aligning the groove of the food pusher, with the small protrusion on the inside top of the feed chute. Continue to slide the food pusher down into the feed chute.

7

7. Place the pulp container into position by tilting the base of the pulp container away from the motor base and slide the top of the pulp container over the bottom of the juice cover. Tilt the base of the pulp container back into the motor base ensuring it is supported by the container support extending from under the motor base.

To minimise cleaning, line the pulp container with a plastic freezer bag to collect the pulp. Pulp can then be used in other dishes, or as compost for the garden or discarded.

8. Place the juice jug provided under the spout on the right-hand side of the juicer. The juice jug lid can be used to avoid any splatter. Alternatively you can fit the custom-designed juice nozzle over the juice spout and place a glass underneath. The juice nozzle will prevent splatter, ensuring mess free juicing.

FOR USE WITH FROOJIE® EXTRACTOR

1. Place the filter bowl surround on the top of the motor base.

2. Place the Froojie® Disc into the filter bowl surround and onto the motor drive coupling. Push down until it clicks into place. Ensure the Froojie® Disc is fitted securely inside the filter bowl surround and onto the motor base.

Never use Froojie® Disc without Froojie® Insert. They must always be used together.
3. Place the Froojie® Insert into the filter bowl surround, making sure the warning label on the handle is facing upwards.

To assemble remaining parts follow steps 4-­7 listed on previous page.

NOTE
There is no need to use pulp container when using Froojie® extractor.

PREPARATION OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES FOR FROOJIE® EXTRACTOR

Only soft fruits should be used with the Froojie® extractor.
When using fruits with hard inedible skins, such as mangoes, pineapple or kiwi fruit, always peel before juicing.
When using fruits with a hard core such as pineapple, always remove this before juicing.
All fruits with pits, hard seeds or stones such as nectarines, peaches, mangoes and apricots must be pitted or deseeded before juicing.
Passionfruit pulp, peeled kiwi fruit and berries can be processed without removing seeds.
When using the Froojie® extractor, use low speed (speed 1). Always ensure motor is running before adding fruit and/or vegetables to feed tube.

WARNING

Do not put hard fruit and vegetables (i.e. Carrots, apples, fresh beetroot, etc.) or ice through juicer when using Froojie® extractor. This could damage parts of the unit.

Care & Cleaning

Ensure the juicer is turned off by pressing the ON / OFF button on the control panel to OFF. Then switch the appliance off at the power outlet and unplug the cord. Ensure the juicer is correctly disassembled.

FOR EASIER CLEANING

• Clean as you go and avoid dried on juice or pulp residue.
• Immediately after each use, rinse removable parts in hot water to remove wet pulp. Allow parts to air dry.
• To minimise cleaning, line the pulp container with a plastic freezer bag to collect the pulp. Pulp can then be used in other dishes or as compost for the garden or discarded.

CLEANING THE MOTOR BASE

1. Wipe the motor base with a soft, damp cloth then dry thoroughly.
2. Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord.
   Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners when cleaning the parts or motor base as they may scratch the surface.

CLEANING THE FILTER BOWL SURROUND, JUICER COVER, FROOJIE® INSERT, FOOD PUSHER, PULP CONTAINER

1. Wash all parts in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
   The filter bowl surround, juicer cover and pulp container are dishwasher safe (top shelf only).
   The Froojie® Insert is not dishwasher safe. Please wash in warm water.

CLEANING THE JUICE JUG

1. Rinse the juice jug and lid with froth attachment under running water.
2. Wash both parts in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

• The juice jug and lid are dishwasher safe (top shelf only).
• Discolouration of the plastic may occur with strongly coloured fruit and vegetables. To help prevent this, wash parts immediately after use. If discolouration does occur, the plastic parts can be soaked in water with 10% lemon juice or they can be cleaned with a non abrasive cleaner.

WARNING

Do not immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid. The centre of the juice disc and feed chute contains small sharp blades to process fruit and vegetables during the juicing function. Do not touch blades when handling the juice disc or feed chute.

CLEANING THE JUICE DISC

For consistent juicing results always ensure that the juice disc is thoroughly cleaned using the supplied cleaning brush.

1. Soak the juice disc in hot soapy water for approximately 10 minutes immediately after juicing is completed. If pulp is left to dry on the filter it may clog the fine pores of the filter mesh thereby lessening the effectiveness of the juicer.
2. Using the cleaning brush, hold the juice disc under running water and brush from the inside of the basket to the outer rim. Avoid touching the small sharp blades in the centre of the juice disc. After cleaning the juice disc, hold it up towards a light to ensure the fine mesh holes are not blocked. If the holes are blocked, soak the juice disc in hot water with 10% lemon juice to loosen the blocked holes. Alternatively, wash the juice disc in the dishwasher.

• The juice disc is dishwasher safe (top shelf only).
• Do not soak the juice disc in bleach or other abrasive cleansers.
• Always treat the juice disc with care as it can be easily damaged.
