Gastroback DESIGN JUICER BASIC, Instructions For Use Manual

wARninG:

  Always ensure that the juicer is 

switched off at the power outlet. Then remove 

the plug from the power outlet before clean-

ing, dissembling and storing the appliance. Do 

not immerse the motor base in water or any 

other liquid. Do not use water jet to clean the 

motor  base. Do not clean the motor base in the 

dishwasher.
The centre of the filter basket and feed chute 

contain small sharp blades to process fruit and 

vegetables during the juicing function. Do not 

touch blades when handling the filter basket or 

feed chute.

ATTenTiOn: 

Abrasive and strong cleaner 

damage the surface of the plastic units and 

could cause discolouration. Never clean the 

appliance or units with abrasive and strong cleaner. 

For easier cleaning and to avoid discolouration: 

clean as you go and avoid dried on juice or 

pulp residue. immediately after each use, rinse 

removable parts in hot water to remove wet pulp. 

Otherwise discolouration of the plastic may occur 

with strongly coloured fruit and vegetables. Allow 

parts to air dry.
Never use hard or sharp-edged subjects when 

using or cleaning the juicer or the stainless 

steel micro mesh filter. Do not use force when 

using the appliance to avoid damages. Always 

assemble the appliance completely before storing. 

The units are protected this way and can not 

get lost.
ensure the juicer is correctly disassembled. 

refer to ´Disassembling your Design Juicer`. 

Follow these instructions to clean all surfaces 

of parts that come into contact with food during 

normal use.
Filter bowl surround, juicer cover, stainless steel 

micro mesh filter, juice jug and pulp container are 

dishwasher safe (top shelf only). use a program to 

be suited for glasses (low temperature). A program 

with high temperature might cause discoloura-

tion and distortion of the plastic units. Plastic units 

might tarnish being frequently cleaned in the 

dishwasher.

iMpORTAnT:

 Do not clean the food pusher in 

the dishwasher.

iMpORTAnT: 

soak the stainless steel filter 

basket in hot soapy water for approximately 10 

minutes immediately after juicing is completed. 

if pulp dehumidifies on the micro mesh filter it 

may clog the fine pores of the micro mesh filter 

thereby lessening the effectiveness of the juicer.

using the cleaning brush, hold the filter basket 

under running water and brush from the inside of 

the basket to the outer rim. 

Avoid touching the small 

sharp blades in the centre of 

the filter basket. After clean-

ing the filter basket, hold it 

up towards a light to ensure 

the fine mesh holes are not 

blocked. if the holes are blocked, soak the filter 

basket in hot water with 10% lemon juice to 

loosen the blocked holes. Alternatively, wash the 

filter basket in the dishwasher.

nOTe: 

Alternatively you can soak the filter 

basket in hot water with dental prosthesis 

detergent. rinse thoroughly with clear water 

and he provided nylon brush.

iMpORTAnT:

 Do not soak the stainless steel 

filter basket in bleach. Always treat the filter 

basket with care as it can be easily damaged.
Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. ensure 

of no water intrusion into the inside of the motor 

block. 

Allow parts to air dry or thoroughly dry them 

with a clean cloth. Always assemble the appliance 

completely before storing (regard ´Assembling the 

appliance`). The units are protected this way and 

can not get lost. Keep all parts out of reach of chil-

dren.

ATTenTiOn: 

Occasionally clean the drive cou-

pling (see picture) with a damp cloth. ensure the 

stainless steel balls of 

the basket adjustment 

are clean and free from 

dried on juice or pulp 

residue. After every fifth 

usage put some vaseline 

onto the balls of the adjustment.

wARninG:

 Please store the juicer in a frost-free, 

clean and dry location where it is out of reach of 

children and is protected against excessively loads 

(such as down-fall, voltage, heat, humidity). Never 

lay heavy or hard objects on top of the appliance.

Care and Cleaning

possible problem   

        easy solution

Machine will not work when 

switched ´ON´ 

Motor appears to stall when 

juicing

excess pulp building up in 

the micro mesh filter basket

Pulp too wet and reduced 

extracted juice

Juice leaks between the rim 

of the juicer and the cover 

of the filter

Bowl surround juice sprays 

out from spout

Juicer makes loud noise 

when turned on

No juice coming out while

juicing

The safety locking arm may not be correctly engaged in the vertical operating 

position with the locking arm located into the two grooves on either side of the 

juicer cover (regard ´Assembling the appliance)`.

Wet pulp can build up under the cover if the juicing action is too vigorous. Try 

slower juicing action by pushing the food pusher down more slowly. clean the 

integrated pulp container, the stainless steel filter basket and the juicer cover 

(regard ´clear blockage`).

stop the juicing process. remove the juicer cover, scrape off pulp. Assemble and 

begin juicing again. Try alternating (soft and hard) vegetable and fruit varieties. 

Try a slower juicing action by pushing the food pusher down more slowly. 

remove stainless steel filter basket and thoroughly clean mesh walls with the 

nylon brush. rinse the stainless steel filter basket under hot water. if the fine 

mesh holes are blocked, soak the stainless steel filter basket in a solution of hot 

water with 10% lemon juice to unblock the holes or wash in the dishwasher. 

This will remove excess fibre build up (from fruit or vegetables) which could be 

inhibiting the juice flow.

Try a slower juicing action by pushing the food pusher down more slowly. Fruit 

and vegetables with a high water content (tomatoes and watermelon) should be 

juiced on low speed.

Try a slower juicing action by pushing the food pusher down more slowly.

Filer basket is not properly snapped into position. Turn the On/OFF button to 

OFF. Turn the power OFF. Disassemble the Design Juicer (refer to ´disassembling`). 

Assemble (refer to ´assembling`).

check that the spout is not blocked with pulp. refer to ´care and cleaning`.

To clear blockage

When juicing hard or stringily fruit or vegetables, or if you push down the food pusher too fast or with too 

much pressure or the juicing action is too vigorous, wet pulp can build up under the juicer cover 

or the motor appears to stall when juicing. Wet pulp would block the fine mashes of the filter basket. Try 

slower juicing action by pushing the food pusher down more slowly. Follow Disassembling and cleaning 

instructions and clean the filter bowl surround, the stainless steel filter basket and the juicer cover.
1.  Turn the appliance off, wait for the motor to stop moving and pull the plug.

2. Disassemble the appliance according to the instructions. 

wARninG: 

Do not touch blades when handling the filter basket.

3. remove residue of food on the filter basket with a small wooden or plastic spoon.

4. Assemble the appliance according to the instructions and continue juicing.

5.  if another blockage occurs clean the appliance according to the instruction ´care and cleaning`.

To avoid further blockage:

•  When juicing hard or string

ily fruit or vegetables choose a high speed. 

•  Remove very hard and stringily elements such as stalks and stems.

•  Try slower juicing action by pushing the food pusher down more slowly. 

• 

Avoid overloading pulp in the pulp container. The pulp has to be able to fall easily and 

 unhindered into the pulp container.

•  Try other fruit and vegetables.
