Such clogging could result in an imbalance in the basket assembly (5) and cause a risk ofdamaging the machine. The quantity of products to be processed before reaching the maximum filling levelin the container (6) varies according to the products being processed. If during preparation an imbalanceshould occur well before the pulp container is full, it is sometimes appropriate to continue adding food forthe imbalance to be cleared. But if the imbalance continues, the machine must be stopped and the basketassembly (5) cleaned. Certain products are liable to clog or block the sieve holes, in which case the basketassembly (5) should be cleaned more frequently.Before carrying out any work on the juice extractor, the machine must be unplugged from the mains powersupply and the motor start capacitor discharged:Discharging the capacitor: Use a screwdriver with insulated handle to touch the 2 connectors on the capacitor(13).
