The provided document is a multi-language user manual for the SilverCrest Slow Juicer SSJBK 300 B2. I will extract and synthesize the English information to describe the device.
The SilverCrest Slow Juicer SSJBK 300 B2 is an appliance designed for juicing well-ripened, peeled fruit and vegetables, and for producing sorbets. It operates by slowly pressing ingredients to extract juice and separate pulp, preserving nutrients and flavor. The appliance is intended exclusively for use in private households and should not be used in commercial or industrial environments.

- Housing lid (3): Secures the feed tube and other components during operation.
- Sieve tray holder (4): Holds the sieve tray assembly.
- Juice outlet (5): Where the extracted juice flows out.
- Stopper (6): Controls the flow of juice from the juice outlet.
- On/Off switch (7): Controls the appliance's operation, with "I" for On, "O" for Off, and "R" for Reverse.
- Appliance base (8): The main unit containing the motor and controls.
- Power cable with mains plug (9): Connects the appliance to the power supply.
- RESET button (10): Used to reset the safety cut-out after a blockage or overheating.
- Juice container (11): Collects the extracted juice.
- Container for fruit pulp and vegetable mash (12): Collects the separated pulp and waste.
- Outlet for fruit pulp and vegetable mash (13): Where the pulp and waste exit the appliance.
- Sieve tray (14): The main tray that holds the juicing or sorbet attachments.
- Removable sieve frame (15): A frame that holds the sieve in place within the sieve tray.
- Sieve (16) (stainless steel): Used for juicing, separating juice from pulp.
- Sorbet attachment (17): Replaces the sieve for making sorbets from frozen ingredients.
- Transport screw (18): The auger that slowly presses the ingredients.
- Cleaning brush (19): Provided for cleaning the components.
- Drive shaft (21): The central shaft that drives the transport screw.
Function Description:
The slow juicer works by a masticating process. Ingredients are fed into the feed tube (2) and then slowly pressed by the transport screw (18). This gentle pressing action extracts juice, which flows out of the juice outlet (5) into the juice container (11). The remaining fruit pulp and vegetable mash are expelled through the outlet (13) into the designated container (12). For sorbet production, the sieve (16) is replaced with the sorbet attachment (17), allowing frozen ingredients to be processed into a smooth sorbet.
The appliance features a safety cut-out mechanism. If fruit pieces get stuck and the motor is blocked, the appliance will automatically switch off to prevent overheating and damage. To resume operation, the user must reset the safety cut-out by turning the On/Off switch (7) to "O", unplugging the appliance, allowing it to cool, clearing the blockage, and then pressing the RESET button (10) on the underside of the appliance base (8).
Important Technical Specifications:

- Power consumption: 300 W
- Protection class: II /
- Revolutions per minute: 60 ± 25%
- CO time (continuous operation time):
- 15 minutes for juicing
- 5 minutes for preparing sorbets
- Juice container (11) capacity: approx. 750 ml (usable volume: approx. 600 ml to the max. marking)
- Capacity of the container for fruit pulp and vegetable mash (12): approx. 1000 ml
- Food-safe parts: All parts of the appliance that come into contact with food are food-safe.
Usage Features:
- Ingredient Preparation:
- Use only well-ripened, peeled fruits and vegetables.
- Remove large seeds, stones, and main stalks (e.g., from grapes) to prevent damage.
- Core fruits like apples and pears can be processed with skin and core.
- Fruits with thick peels (citrus, melons, kiwis, root vegetables) must be peeled first.
- Cut ingredients into small enough pieces to fit the feed tube (2).
- Fibrous ingredients (e.g., celery) should be cut into 3–5 cm long and 1.5–2 cm wide pieces.
- Dried foods (beans, rice) need to be soaked or pre-boiled.
- For sorbets, ingredients must be frozen and spread out to prevent sticking. Thaw frozen ingredients until a fork can be inserted halfway.
- Do not use ice cubes or very hard fruits like coconuts.
- Raisins are not suitable for juicing due to low juice content.
- Soak carrots in water for 24 hours before juicing and cut them into small pieces (approx. 1.5 x 1.5 cm).
- Frozen foods should be used within one month.
- Assembly: Ensure the sieve tray (14) is correctly placed on the appliance base (8), with the rubber plug in the pulp outlet (13) inserted. For juicing, insert the removable sieve frame (15) and sieve (16). For sorbets, use the sorbet attachment (17). The transport screw (18) is then placed on the drive shaft (21). Finally, the housing lid (3) is placed and turned clockwise until it clicks firmly into place, aligning the markings. The appliance will only operate when the lid is correctly fitted.
- Operation: Insert the plug (9) into a mains socket. Open the stopper (6) for juice flow. Add ingredients to the feed tube (2). Use the pusher (1) if ingredients aren't drawn in automatically. Do not insert fingers or other objects into the feed tube during operation. If ingredients are too large, stop the appliance, open the lid, add ingredients, and restart. If food gets stuck, use the "R" (Reverse) position on the On/Off switch (7) briefly several times. If this doesn't work, dismantle the appliance and manually remove the blockage.
- Containers: The juice container (11) and pulp container (12) should be emptied as needed. If the pulp container is full, stop feeding ingredients until no more pulp comes out.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning:
- Always unplug the appliance (9) before cleaning.
- Never immerse the appliance base (8) in water or other liquids.
