Advice on which strainer to use

Strainer	Suitable for
Fine	Pure fruit or vegetable juices.
Coarse	Dense juices containing pieces of pulp, smoothies, milk shakes or soups.

How to use the REVERSE function

The REVERSE function is used when the auger stops during operation:

• Keep the lever switch pressed downwards for 3-5 seconds at a time. Repeat this process 2-3 times.

• If rotation of the auger is stopped in normal operation, activate the REVERSE function and hold for 2-3 seconds and then after the REVERSE function has stopped completely, press the ON button again. If the auger keeps stopping during operation, the parts may get damaged and performance may be affected due to the motor overheating. If the problem persists, stop the appliance immediately and contact your local Customer Care Centre.
