Gastroback 40131 Vital Juicer - Manual (Page 11)

Cleaning the Juicer
WARNING: DO NOT immerse the motor base or power cord in any liquids. Do not spill any liquids
on the motor base or power cord. DO NOT place the motor base or power cord in an automatic dish-
washer!
Beware of the sharp cutting blades in the filter basket and feed chute. Do not touch the blades when
handling the filter basket. Only grasp the filter basket on the rim.
NOTE: If pulp is left to dry on the filter basket, it may clog the fine mesh of the filter basket and, as
a result, decreasing the juicer's performance. To assist cleaning, soak the filter basket in hot soapy
water for about 10 minutes immediately after juicing.
Discoloration of plastic parts may occur when processing strongly coloured fruit and vegetables.
However, this will not affect the juicer's performance. To prevent any discoloration, rinse the remo-
vable parts of the appliance immediately after use with clear water.
1. Disassemble the appliance according to the upper instructions (see Disassembling the Juicer).
CAUTION: Never use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads or any sharp objects (i.e. metal scouring
pads) for cleaning for this could damage the surfaces. Carefully clean the appliance with a damped
sponge or cloth and warm soapy water.
For convenience, filter base and basket, juicer cover, food pusher and pulp/juice container may be
cleaned in an automatic dishwasher.
DO NOT place the motor base or power cord in an automatic dishwasher!
Always handle the appliance and any part of it with care and without violation.
2. Place the filter basket in hot soapy water for about 10 minutes to soak dried pulp. Wash any remo-
vable parts (food pusher, juicer cover, filter basket, filter base, juice and pulp container) in warm
washing-up liquid.
To clean the filter basket we recommend to use a fine nylon washing brush. Grasp the filter basket
on the rim, place it under running water and brush the filter mesh carefully from the inside of the
basket out. Always treat the filter basket with care, because it can be damaged easily.
Clean the plastic parts of the appliance using a soft cloth or sponge.
3. Rinse all removable parts thoroughly under running water.
4. Wipe the motor base with a damp soft cloth or sponge. Take care not to spill or drip water or any
other liquids on the motor base.
5. Thoroughly dry the motor base and all parts of the appliance after each cleaning and, for some
minutes, leave all parts dry naturally. Always keep the appliance and all parts of it out of reach of
young children.
6. To prevent the parts of the appliance from damage and being lost, re-assemble the appliance for
storage (see Assembling the Juicer).
