Gastroback 40131 Vital Juicer - Manual (Page 13)

Remove Blockage
When juicing hard and fibrous food or working too fast, excessive wet pulp may build up in the filter
basket and clog up the filter mesh.
1. Switch OFF the appliance (power switch position '0'), wait until the motor stops completely and
unplug the appliance.
2. Remove the juicer cover (see Disassembling the Juicer).
WARNING: Beware of the sharp blades in the filter basket. Only grasp the filter basket on the rim.
3. Use a little wooden or plastic spoon to scrape off the pulp.
4. If the mesh is still blocked: remove the filter basket and thoroughly clean the mesh under running
water using a fine brush. Brush from the inside of the filter basket out.
5. Assemble the appliance properly and completely (see Assembling the Juicer) and continue juicing.
6. If the mesh is blocked again, clean the appliance. Refer to Care and Cleaning.
To avoid further blockage:
• Remove any hard and fibrous parts of the food (i.e. stalks and seeds).
• Push the food pusher down slower.
• Do not allow the pulp container to overfill.
• Possibly use another variety of fruit and vegetables.
