 Care & Cleaning

Ensure the Juice Fountain™ Plus is turned off by flipping the ON/OFF switch to OFF, then unplug the power cord.

Ensure the Juice Fountain™ Plus is correctly disassembled. Refer to disassembling your Breville Juice Fountain™ Plus.

FOR EASY 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.

 NOTE To minimize cleaning, line the pulp container with a produce bag to collect the pulp. Pulp can then be used for other dishes, or as compost for the garden or discarded.

CLEANING THE MOTOR BASE

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

 NOTE 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, FOOD PUSHER, PULP CONTAINER
Wash all parts in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

 NOTE

• The filter bowl surround, juicing jug lid, and pulp container are dishwasher safe (top shelf only).
• The juice cover and food pusher are not dishwasher safe.

CLEANING THE FILTER BASKET

• For consistent juicing results always ensure that the stainless steel filter basket is thoroughly cleaned using the supplied cleaning brush.
• Soak the stainless steel filter basket 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.
• Using the cleaning brush, hold the filter basket under running water and brush from the inside of the basket to the outer rim. Avoid touching the small sharp blades in the center of the filter basket. After cleaning the filter basket, hold it up towards a light to ensure the fine mesh holes are not blocked. If the holes are blocked, soak the filter basket in hot water with 10% lemon juice to loosen the blocked holes. Alternatively, wash the filter basket in the dishwasher.

Do not soak the stainless steel filter basket in bleach or other abrasive cleansers. Always treat the filter basket with care as it can be easily damaged.

REMOVING STUBBORN OR STRONG FOOD STAINS AND ODORS
Discoloration of the plastic may occur with brightly colored fruit and vegetables. To help prevent this, wash parts immediately after use. If discoloration does occur, the plastic parts can be soaked in water with 10% lemon juice or they can be cleaned with a nonabrasive cleaner.

CLEANING THE JUICE JUG

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

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

 Troubleshooting

Tips on juicing

THE INSIDE INFORMATION ON JUICING
Although juice drinks are usually developed with flavor, texture, and aroma at the forefront, the health benefits certainly add to the pleasurable taste experience. Up to 70% of the nutrient content of fruit and vegetables is found in the juice. Liquids extracted from fresh fruit and vegetables form an important part of a well-balanced diet. Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are an easy-to-make source of vitamins and minerals. Juices are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream therefore being the quickest way in which the body can digest nutrients. When you make your juices, you have complete control over what you include in them. You select the ingredients and decide if you need to use sugar, salt, or other flavoring agents.

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 them.
• Most fruits and hardier-type vegetables can be stored at room temperature. The more delicate and perishable items such as berries, leafy greens, celery, cucumbers, and herbs should be stored in the refrigerator until required.

PREPARATION OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES

• If using fruits with hard or inedible skins such as mangoes, citrus, melons, or pineapple, always peel them before juicing.
• Some vegetables, such as cucumbers can be processed unpeeled 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 beets, carrots, etc. have all soil removed, and 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 Juice Fountain™ Plus, but remove the skin and excess pith before juicing.
• A small amount of lemon juice can be added to apple juice to reduce discoloration.

 NOTE Your Juice Fountain™ Plus makes invigorating, frothy orange juice. Simply peel the oranges and remove any excess pith before juicing. It is best to refrigerate oranges before juicing.

THE RIGHT TECHNIQUE

• When juicing a variety of ingredients with varying textures, start with the softer texture ingredients on LOW speed and then gradually change to HIGH speed for the harder textured ingredients.
• If you are juicing herbs, sprouts, or other leafy green vegetables, either wrap them together to form a bundle or juice them in the middle of a combination of ingredients on LOW speed to obtain the best extraction.

 NOTE

• If juicing herbs or leafy green vegetables on their own, the juice yield will be low due to the nature of centrifugal juicing. It is advised to juice them with a combination of other fruits and vegetables.
• All fruit and vegetables produce different amounts of liquids. This varies within the same group i.e. one batch of tomatoes can produce more juice than another batch. Since juice recipes are not exact, the precise quantities of any juice are not crucial to the success of a particular mixture.
• To extract the maximum amount of juice always push the food pusher down slowly.

GETTING THE RIGHT BLEND

It is easy to create great-tasting juice. If you have been making your own vegetable or fruit juices, then you know how simple it is to invent new combinations. Taste, color, texture, and ingredient preferences are a personal choice. Think of some flavors and foods – would they work well together or would they clash? Some bold flavors could overpower the more subtle flavors of others. It is, however, a good rule of thumb to combine starchy, pulpy ingredients with those high in moisture.

USING THE PULP

• The remaining pulp left after juicing fruit and vegetables is mostly fiber and cellulose which, like the nutrients in juice, are necessary for the daily diet and can be used in many ways. However, like the juice, pulp should be used that day to avoid loss of vitamins.
• There are several recipes contained in this book for the use of pulp. Apart from these, pulp can be used to add bulk to rissole mixtures, and thicken casseroles or soups.
• Apart from consumption use, the pulp is great for creating compost for the garden.

 NOTE When using the pulp, there may be some pieces of fruit or vegetables remaining. These should be removed before using the pulp in any recipe.
