Breville Juice Fountain Max / Plus Questions & Answers (page 2 of 2)

From experience, even when the manufacturer says the machine will handle the hard skin, I have found with ALL makes of juicers that it is best to PEEL fruit such as oranges and lemons, before juicing. For the record, I have also noticed that the retail juice shops do the same as I do - the oranges are already pre-peeled by staff working out the back of the shop ready for quick juice requests at the front counter. That should tell you a lot. (and many shops seem to be using Breville juicing machines)!

Peel all citrus I leave the skin on apples peel carrotts as well

Yes! It definitely should have come with a booklet explaining how to use it, as with almost all products these days. If you have washed and reassembled it already, then you have mastered it, in my personal opinion.

Hi Kerry, Contact Breville direct and they will send you a booklet.You really need it as it has some helpful info and the recipes are really good.You could go back to where you purchased from and they may be able help as well.Cheers Ron

As advised by Breville, check the voltage 1st.
If that is OK, there should be an instruction booklet. Go to page 7 in the booklet and item 'L' is pointing at the toggle switch that controls 'LOW';OFF';HIGH. Middle position is OFF. I move to HIGH and the motor should start immediately.
If still not working, go to pages 9 and 10 in the booklet and ensure you have assembled the parts correctly? These machines are designed to be taken apart and re-assembled easily and quickly (for cleaning) and the only thing I can think of, is to make sure the 'arrow' on the stainless steel basket is lined up and when it is, gently push into place and you should hear a 'click'.

Hi, Low speed for both. I have read through my Manual -recipe book.The recipe for Sweet Potato,Celery,Ginger and orange Juice, Suggest using both High and low speeds.When juiceing leafy greens make into a bunch or juice in the middle of other ingredients. Cheers

I use high speed for the greens, not sure if it's the done thing, but in a wad, with an item like ginger or sweet potato above them to help push them thru. I tell you what, parsley tastes fantastic juiced!
