[. . . ] If the appliance, for instance, has been dropped onto a hard surface, it must no longer be used: even invisible damage may have adverse effects on the operational safety of the appliance. Children are not aware of the dangers that may occur when operating electrical appliances. For safety reasons, use the pestle at all times when feeding fruit or vegetables into the feeder tube. [. . . ] Tomatoes should be lightly carved in with a knife before juice extraction. Bananas should be added for aromatic purposes only, as very little juice can be extracted. We recommend starting extraction with the slow setting and switching to the faster setting only when necessary. Ensure that the three locating points on the filter base are properly aligned with the three corresponding holes on the drive unit. - Fit the filter and grating plate insert in the filter base and push the insert down until it is heard locking into place. It is essential that the filter is properly locked; otherwise, if it is not correctly connected to the drive shaft, damage may occur during operation. Check that the insert is properly and securely fitted by manually turning the filter and grating plate insert slightly in a clockwise direction; if it can be easily turned, it is correctly fitted. - Place the transparent lid onto the filter base and use the two locking clamps to lock the lid to the base; this will activate the safety switch. - Insert the plug into the wall outlet and set the switch to the required setting. - Feed the cleaned and pre-cut fruit or vegetable pieces down the feeder tube while the unit is running. excessive pressure may result in damage to the motor or grating plate!- When processing large quantities of fruit or vegetables, the pulp container and juice container must be emptied from time to time as necessary. - After use, switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the wall socket. Switch off the appliance afterwards and allow the motor to cool down for 1 minute before switching it on again.
