Gastroback recommends safety first
• Do not leave food leftovers dehumidify on
the appliance or units of the appliance. 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. Remove
such dirt immediately and operate according to the
instructions ´Care and cleaning` before you
continue to proceed.
• Never clean or operate the appliance or units
of the appliance with abrasive or hard sharp-edged
items. Use a nylon brush for cleaning the filter
basket.
• Never clean the motor block in the dishwasher.
• Never use force operating the appliance to
avoid damage of the units of the appliance.
• Do not touch the small cutting blades in the
base of the stainless steel filter basket. Pay attention
not cutting yourself when handling the filter
basket.
• Always make sure the appliance is properly and
completely assembled before connecting to power
outlet and operating. The unit will not turn ‘ON’
unless properly assembled.
• Do not push products into the feed chute with
your fingers or foreign objects. Always use the
food pusher provided.
• Do not let the motor run permanently for longer
then 7 minutes to avoid overheating.
• Do not operate the appliance continuously on
heavy loads for more than 10 seconds. In this
case the appliance is overloaded or the fruit
chunks are too big. Cut the fruit in smaller pieces
and try smaller amounts at one time. To continue
juicing turn the appliance OFF and then ON
again. (None of the recipes in this book are
considered a heavy load.)
• While proceeding Do not push the food pusher
too hard down. Empty the pulp container and juice
jug in time to avoid run-over and splatter which
might causes damages to the appliance. When
proceeding hard or stringily food or if you press
the stamp down too hard the motor could stop
or slow down. In this case turn off the appliance
immediately and pull the plug to avoid overheating.
Operate according to the instructions ´Trouble
shooting guide`.
• Do not use the appliance if it is damaged or
units of the appliance are damaged. Do not use
the appliance if it does not function properly or if
it was excessively loaded. The appliance is likely damaged if the appliance or units of the
appliance show cracks, exorbitant wearing
down, alterations or leaks. It is also likely damaged
if the drive wheel of the motor block moves slowly.
Take the appliance for technical maintenance
and repair to an authorised specialised reparation
shop. Reparation and technical maintenance of
the appliance or line cord are just allowed to be
accomplished by an authorised specialist reparation
shop.
• The appliance is not suitable for mincing nuts,
chocolate or similar ingredients. The appliance
is not suitable to make minced meet or to blend

Important Safeguards for all Electrical
Appliances
• Always uncoil the line cord completely before
installing the appliance.
• Place the appliance close to a power point
and connect it directly without using any extension
cords to avoid additional risks of injury through
fire or voltage.
• Only install the appliance in proper form
secure grounding receptacle with adequate
electric power supply (alternating current;
230/240 V, 50 Hz) and ground fault circuit
interrupter. The maximum power consumption of the
appliance is 450 Watt. You should also install a fuse
with a release current of maximum 30mA. If
necessary ask your electrician for help.
• Never pull, rip, bend, clamp, squish or knot the
line cord. Pay attention to the line cord not
hanging of the table. Attend to nobody getting
caught in loops of the line cord or pulling the
appliance of the work space. When pulling the

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.
Movable and sharp-edged units – risk
of injury
• The feed chute is designed exceedingly large.
Never put fingers, wooden spoons or other
foreign substance (such as hair, clothing, brushes,
cloths) into the feed chute when the appliance is
plugged into the power point.
• Always turn the appliance off, wait for the
motor to stop moving and then pull the plug
before taking off the lid of the juicer.
• Only use the provided food pusher to push
food through the feed chute.
• Never hold your face or other body parts
over the feed chute when the motor is running
because little pieces of food could be thrown out
of the feed chute.
• The blades on the base of the stainless steel
micro mesh filter and inside the feed chute are
very sharp. Pay attention when handling the
units. Only touch the stainless steel micro mesh filter
on the edge and handle with care when cleaning with
the nylon bristle brush. Only store the appliance
completely assembled. This way the blades will be
out of reach.
• Never put foreign substance or hard objects
into the feed chute. Remove all inedible parts
(such as stem, hard peeling and seeds) of the
food before putting them into the feed chute.
• The motor pursues running for a little while
after turning the appliance off. Wait until the
motor stops running completely before you
open or move the appliance.

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
Basic`. 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 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 discolouration
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 cleaning 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.

when turned on
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.

Tips on juicing
The inside information on juicing
Although juice drinks are usually developed
with flavour, texture and aroma at the forefront,
the health benefits certainly add to the pleasurable taste experience.
95% of the nutrient content of fruit and vegetables
is found in the juice. Liquids extracted from fresh
fruit and vegetables form an important part of a
wellbalanced diet. Fresh fruit and vegetable
juices are an easy to make source of vitamins
and minerals.
Juices are rapidly absorbed into the blood stream
therefore being the quickest way in which the
body can digest nutrients. When you make your
own juices, you have complete control over
what you include in them. You select the ingredients
and decide if you need to use sugar, salt or
other flavouring agents. Freshly extracted juices
should be consumed just after they have been
made to avoid a loss of vitamin content.
Purchasing and storage of fruit and vegetables
• Always wash fruit and vegetables before
juicing.
• Always use fresh fruit and vegetables for
juicing.
• To save money and obtain fresher produce,
purchase fruit or vegetables that are in season.
• Keep your fruit and vegetables ready for
juicing by washing them before storing.
• Most fruits and hardier type vegetables can
be stored at room temperature. The more
delicate and perishable items such as tomatoes,
berries, leafy greens, celery, cucumber
and herbs should be stored in the refrigerator
until required.
Preparation of fruit and vegetables
• If using fruit with hard or inedible skins
such as mangoes, guava, melons or pineapple,
always peel before juicing.
• Citrus fruit can be juiced in the juicer if
peeled first.
• All fruits with pits, hard seeds or stones such
as nectarine, peaches, mangoes, apricots,
plums and cherries must be pitted before
juicing.
• A small amount of lemon juice can be
added to apple juice to prohibit browning.
NOTE:
Your juicer makes invigorating, frothy orange
juice. Simply peel the oranges and juice.(It is
best to refrigerate oranges before juicing).
16
The right technique
When juicing a variety of ingredients with varying
textures start with the softer textured ingredients
then change to for harder texture ingredients. If
you are juicing herbs, sprouts or leafy green
vegetables either wrap then together to form a
bundle or juice them in the middle of a combination
of ingredients to obtain the best extraction.
If juicing herbs or leafy green vegetables on
their own, the juice yield will be low due to the
nature of centrifugal juicing, it is advised to
juice them as with a combination of other fruit
and vegetables.
Getting the right blend
It is easy to create great tasting juice. If you
have been making your own vegetable and fruit
juices, then you know how simple it is to invent
new combinations. Taste, colour, texture and
ingredient preferences are a personal thing. Just
think of some of your favourite flavours and
foods – would they work well together or would
All fruit and vegetables produce different
amounts of liquids. This varies within the same
group i.e. one batch of tomatoes can produce
more juice than another batch. Since juice
recipes are not exact, the precise quantities of
any juice are not crucial to the success of a particular mixture.
NOTE:
To extract the maximum amount of juice always
push the food pusher down slowly.
they clash. Some strong flavours could over
power the more subtle flavours of others. It is
however, a good rule of thumb to combine starchy,
pulpy ingredients with those high in moisture.
Using the pulp
The remaining pulp left after juicing fruit or vegetables is mostly fibre and cellulose which, like
the juice, contains vital nutrients necessary for
the daily diet and can be used in many ways.
However, like the juice, pulp should be used
that day to avoid loss of vitamins.
Some of the uses of pulp are to bulk out rissoles,
thicken casseroles or soups or in the case of
fruit, simply placed in a bowl topped with
meringue and baked for a simple dessert. Quite
apart from the consumption use, pulp is great
used in the garden for compost.
NOTE:
When using the pulp, there may be some pieces
of fruit or vegetables remaining. These should
be removed before using the pulp in any recipes.
