How to use the juicer
Fill the container No. 3 with water up to about 2 cm below the top edge. Next, install the container No. 2 on it, and put the container No. 1 on top. Place the previously prepared, washed fruit in the container No. 1. Soft fruit, such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries or blackcurrant, should be put in whole - without any fragmentation. Hard fruit, such as apples or pears, should be cut into pieces with size of less than 3 cm. Pour 100 - 600 g of sugar over the fruit, depending how acidic the given fruit is and how sweet you want the finished juice to be. Put the cover on the set and close the clamp on the hose (it is recommended to hook the hose by the ear of container 2).
Place the set so prepared on a heat source (gas cooktop, electric cooktop, etc.) and slowly bring the water to the boil. After the water comes to the boil, reduce heating so that there is no excessive steam around the container. Under the influence of increased temperature and the steam emitted, fruits release juice that is accumulated in container No. 2.
The time required in order to obtain juice, calculated from the moment of bringing the water to the boil (appearance of steam in the top container), is:
- for soft fruit (e.g., strawberries, raspberries): 20 - 30 minutes;
- for semi-hard fruit (e.g., blackcurrant, lingonberries): 30 - 40 minutes;
- for hard fruit (e.g., apples, pears): 45 - 60 minutes.
The tables included in the manual present the approximate time of cooking for individual types of fruit, the approximate amount of sugar that needs to be added and the expected amount of juice obtained.
After about 15 minutes from bringing the water to the boil, open the clamp on the drain hose – siphon the accumulating juice using the hose, directly into bottles or jars. Immediately after filling them, close them with crown caps or twist-off screw caps/lids. Put the filled bottles and/or jars, closed with crown caps or screw caps/lids, into a pot with water and pasteurise them for 30 minutes (counting from the moment of the water coming to the boil).
Please note! In order to obtain a juice of high quality and long shelf life, it is necessary to perform all the activities during its preparation with utmost cleanliness. For cleaning the juicer elements, use the dish washing agents available. However, avoid rough brushes, scourer sponges or powders that might lead to scratching. Wash the jars, bottles, crown caps and screw caps thoroughly as well. It is a good idea to wash them a few hours in advance and leave them to dry bottom up.
The containers constituting the juicer are dishwasher safe.
