The Sunbeam Cafe Series™ Juice Extractor, model JE8600, is a commercial-design appliance engineered for efficient and high-performance juice extraction. This instruction booklet provides comprehensive guidance on its assembly, operation, maintenance, and includes a variety of recipes.
Function Description:
The Sunbeam Cafe Series™ Juice Extractor is designed to extract juice from a wide range of fruits and vegetables. It utilizes a powerful motor and a robust blade and filtering basket system to separate juice from pulp, delivering fresh, smooth-tasting juice. The appliance is suitable for household and similar applications, including staff kitchen areas, farmhouses, hotels, motels, and bed and breakfast environments.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Motor: Heavy-duty 1250 watt motor with sealed ball bearings. This powerful motor ensures efficient juicing, capable of handling tough fruits and vegetables, and maximizes juice extraction. It comes with a 5-year motor guarantee, reflecting its durability and high performance.
- Speed Control: Two-speed electronic control (Low and High) to optimize juicing for different types of produce.
- Low Speed: Ideal for soft fruits and vegetables with high water content (e.g., oranges, watermelon).
- High Speed: Ideal for hard and fibrous fruits and vegetables (e.g., apple, ginger, beetroot).
- Feed Chute: Extra-wide 75mm diameter feed chute, designed to accommodate whole fruits and vegetables, thereby reducing preparation time.
- Pulp Container: Large 3-litre capacity pulp container, allowing for extraction of large volumes of juice without frequent emptying. It is easily removable without dismantling the juicer.
- Juicing Jug: Large 1-litre juicing jug with a froth-separating lid, ensuring a clean pour and smooth juice.
- Blade and Filtering Basket: Stainless steel blade and filtering basket with twin blades and photo-etched mesh for durability, performance, and ease of cleaning.
- Safety Features:
- Twin-locking handles to secure the juicer cover and pulp container during operation.
- Patent-pending feed chute lever for controlled and safe juicing, suspending fruit above the blade until downward pressure is applied.
- Overload switch protection: Activates in case of heavy loads to prevent damage. A re-set button is located underneath the machine.
- Non-slip feet: Heavy-duty non-slip feet ensure stability and prevent movement during use.
Usage Features:
- Assembly: The manual provides clear, step-by-step instructions for assembling the juicer, including placing the juice collector/bowl, stainless steel blade and filtering basket, juicer cover, pulp container, and food pusher. It emphasizes ensuring correct assembly and secure clamping of the cover and pulp container before operation.
- Operation:
- Always ensure the control switch is in the 'Off' position before plugging into a 230-240V AC power outlet.
- Thoroughly clean fruits and vegetables before juicing.
- Select the appropriate speed (Low or High) based on the type of produce.
- Use the food pusher to guide fruits and vegetables down the feed chute in a slow, downward motion for maximum juice extraction.
- The juicer is designed to handle whole fruits and vegetables, but some may require peeling or stone removal (e.g., citrus seeds, mangoes, papayas, stone fruit).
- It is recommended not to operate for more than 17 seconds at a time when juicing heavy loads.
- The pulp container should be monitored to prevent overfilling, which can damage the appliance.
- Helpful Hints for Juicing:
- Preparation: Wash all produce well. Peel thick-skinned fruits (melons, pineapple, citrus). Remove bitter seeds from citrus and stones from mangoes, papayas, and stone fruit to protect the blade. Cut large fruits into wedges.
- Juicing Techniques: Juice soft fruits before hard fruits when blending to maximize extraction. When juicing herbs, add them between fruits/vegetables or with a piece of produce if using small quantities.
- Specific Produce Tips:
- Bananas: Hard to juice but add great flavor. Add as the first or second piece of fruit when blending to release nectar throughout the juice.
- Small fruits (grapes, strawberries): Add in handfuls rather than one at a time for maximum juice.
- Beetroot: Stains other produce. Juice beetroot last if making multiple juice combinations.
- Juicing Speed Guide: A detailed table recommends specific speeds (Low or High) for various fruits and vegetables, along with preparation notes (e.g., "remove stone," "remove skin," "remove seeds").
- Recipes: The booklet includes a variety of recipes categorized as "Day Starters," "Juice Remedies," "Juice Jolts," and "A Good Start For Kids," each designed for approximately two small serves.
Maintenance Features:
- Quick Clean: Immediately after use, disassemble the juicer and rinse all removable parts under running water to remove wet pulp. Allow to air dry.
- Thorough Cleaning:
- Disassemble all removable parts.
- Wash the juice collector/bowl, juicer cover, pulp container, and food pusher with warm, soapy water and rinse well.
- Clean the stainless steel blade and filtering basket using the supplied nylon cleaning brush. Brush the outside first, then the inside in an anti-clockwise direction under running water to remove pulp. Ensure all holes in the filtering basket are clear.
- Important: Handle the sharp juicing blades with care.
- Motor Base: Wipe the motor base clean with a damp, soft sponge and mild detergent.
- Warnings: Never immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid. Do not use chemical, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners on the outside of the juicer, as they can scratch the stainless steel and die-cast metal surfaces.
Safety Precautions:
The manual outlines essential safety precautions, including:
- Never insert fingers or other objects into the feed chute during operation.
- Always use the food pusher.
- Do not operate without the pulp container in place.
- Ensure the juicer is correctly assembled before turning it on.
- Always turn off power and unplug the appliance before assembly, disassembly, or cleaning.
- Do not use with a damaged cord or if the appliance has been damaged.
- Do not leave unattended while in use.
- Keep children supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
- The appliance is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities unless supervised or instructed by a responsible person.
