BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST
At Breville we are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with
the safety of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise
a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE
• Carefully read all instructions before
operation and save for future reference.
• Remove any packaging material and
promotional stickers and labels before
using the juicer for the first time.
• Do not place the juicer near the edge of a
bench or table during operation. Ensure
that the surface is level, clean and free
of water, flour, etc. Vibration during
operation may cause the appliance
to move.
• Any significant spillage onto the surface
under or around the appliance, or onto
the appliance itself, should be cleaned
and dried before continuing to use
the appliance.
• Do not place the juicer on or near a hot
gas or electric burner, or where it could
touch a heated oven.
• Always ensure the juicer is properly
assembled before use. The appliance will
not operate unless properly assembled.
Refer to assembly.
• Do not leave the juicer unattended when
in use.
• Always ensure the juicer is turned OFF
by pressing the OFF/ON switch on the

appliance, when the juicer is not in use,
and before disassembling, cleaning
and storing.
• Do not operate the Juice Extractor
continuously with heavy loads for more
than 10 seconds. Allow the motor to
rest for 1 minute between each use.
Recipes in this instruction book are not
considered a heavy load. However, hard
fruits and vegetables will put excess
strain onto the motor if a low speed
is selected. Please refer to the juicing
guide on Page 9 to determine the correct
speed for the fruits and vegetables
selected for juicing.
• When using the Froojie
®
Disc and
insert, always use speed 1 and remove
seeds core and skin from fruit before
processing (seeds of passionfruit, berries
and kiwi fruit are acceptable).
• Keep hands, fingers, hair, clothing, as
well as spatulas and other utensils away
from the appliance during operation.
• Do not push food into the feed chute
with your fingers or other utensils.
Always use the food pusher provided. Do
not place hand or fingers into food chute
when it is attached to the appliance.
• Be careful when handling the stainless
steel filter basket as the small cutting
blades at the base of the filter basket are
very sharp. Mishandling may
cause injury.
• Do not use the juicer for anything other
than food and/or beverage preparation.
• Keep the appliance clean. Refer to Care,
Cleaning and Guarantee.
• Do not use appliance if the rotating
sieve (filter basket) is damaged.

TIPS ON JUICING
THE INSIDE INFORMATION
ON JUICING
Although the juice drinks contained in this
booklet were developed with flavour, texture
and aroma at the forefront, the health
benefits certainly add to the pleasurable
taste experience.
70% of the nutrient content of fruit and
vegetables is found in the juice. Liquids
extracted from fresh fruits and vegetables
form an important part of a well-balanced
healthy diet. Fresh fruit and vegetable juices
are an easy source of vitamins and minerals.
Juices are rapidly absorbed into the blood
stream therefore being the quickest way in
which the body can digest nutrients.
When you make your own fruit and
vegetable juices, you have complete control
over what is included. Select the ingredients
and decide if you need to add sugar, salt
or other flavouring agents after juicing.
Freshly extracted juices should be consumed
immediately after they have been processed
to avoid a loss of vitamin content.
PURCHASING AND STORAGE OF
FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
• Always wash fruit and vegetables
before juicing.
• Always use fresh fruit and vegetables
for juicing.
• To save money and obtain fresher
produce, purchase fruit or vegetables
that are in season. Refer to the Fruit and
Vegetable Facts chart.
• Keep your fruit and vegetables ready
for juicing by washing and drying them
before storing.
• Most fruits and hardier type vegetables
can be stored at room temperature. The
more delicate and perishable items such
as tomatoes, berries, leafy greens, celery,
cucumbers and herbs should be stored
in the refrigerator until required.
PREPARATION OF FRUIT AND
VEGETABLES FOR JUICER
ATTACHMENT
• If using fruits with hard or inedible
skins such as mangoes, citrus, melons or
pineapple, always peel before juicing.
• Some vegetables, such as cucumbers,
can be processed un-peeled depending
on the softness of the skin and the
juicing requirements.
• All fruits with large pits, hard seeds
or stones such as nectarines, peaches,
mangoes, apricots, plums and cherries
must be pitted before juicing.
• Ensure vegetables such as beetroot,
carrots, etc. have all soil removed, are
well washed and trimmed of leaves
before juicing.
• Ensure fruits such as strawberries are
hulled before juicing and pears have
their stalks removed.
• Citrus fruit can be juiced in the juicer
but remove the skin and excess pith
before juicing.
• A small amount of lemon juice can
be added to apple juice to reduce
discolouration.
NOTE
Your juicer makes invigorating,
frothy orange juice. Simply peel the
oranges and remove any excess pith
before juicing. It is best to refrigerate
oranges before juicing.
