Congratulations! Your new Gastroback Electrical Ice-Crusher comes with some remarkable
features for preparing your dishes.
The Gastroback Electrical Ice-Crusher is intended for crushing ice that fits through the opening
of the feeding chute. Do not use force filling in the ice cubes. The appliance is crushing ice
using a 100 Watt motor. To avoid injury with spouting ice the feeding chute covers automatically with a locking cap. Using slight pressure the locking cap opens inwardly. The Ice-Crusher
is easy to handle and maintenance-free. Always clean the appliance after use. The appliance
is for household use only!
There is an ice spoon included in delivery.
These instructions for use will inform you about the various functions and features, which make

Important Safeguards for all Electrical Appliances
• Always operate the appliance near a suitable wall power outlet and connect the appliance directly
to the power outlet. Do not use any extension cords or a multiple desk outlet.
• Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (220/230 V, 50-60 Hz, AC). Always connect the appliance directly to
a mains power supply wall socket with protective conductor (earth/ground) connected properly.
The installation of a residual current safety switch with a maximum rated residual operating current
of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly recommended. If in doubt, contact your local
electrician for further information.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended while connected to the power supply. Always turn
the appliance off and IMMEDIATELY unplug the appliance after operation and if it is not in
use (even for a short break) and before cleaning and/or assembling or disassembling. Always
grasp the plug to disconnect the appliance from the power outlet.
• Always handle the power cord with care. Do not pull or strain the power cord. The power
cord may never be knotted or squeezed. Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of
the table or counter. Take care not to entangle in the power cord. Do not touch the appliance
with wet hands to avoid risk of electric shock. Do not touch the appliance, if it is damp or wet
or is touching wet surfaces while connected to the mains power supply. In this case, immediately
unplug the appliance and dry the appliance (see ›Care and Cleaning‹).
• Do not immerse the appliance or power cord in any liquids or spill any liquids on it or place
the motor on wet surfaces. Never let any liquids run into the motor or underneath it to avoid
electric shock. When liquids are spilled on the motor housing, immediately unplug the appliance
and dry the motor housing to avoid risk of electric shock or fire. Do not attempt to operate
the appliance, when liquids are on or in the motor housing.
• Never use the appliance if the power cord, the plug or the appliance are damaged. The
appliance is likely damaged if it does not operate as intended or liquid got into the motor
housing. In this case, immediately unplug the appliance and return the entire appliance (including all parts and accessories) to an authorised service centre for examination and repair.

cleaning the appliance.
Remove the ice container. Hold the locking cap open with one hand and turn the appliance
upside down over the sink.
ATTENTION: Turning the appliance around ensure that no water can run into the motor
housing. Dry the appliance before turning it if necessary. Carefully shake the appliance to get
the stucked ice cubes out of the feeding chute.
3. Turn the appliance into the upright position, dry it and put the ice container in position.
4. Put the plug into the power outlet and turn the appliance on. The motor should run smooth
