Gastroback 40131 Vital Juicer - Manual (Page 8)

Operating Your Juicer
WARNING: Before connecting to the mains power supply and switching on, always ensure, that the
appliance is assembled properly and that there are no utensils in the feed chute other than the food
pusher.
Do not insert your hands, cooking utensils or other objects (i.e. hair, clothes, brushes, tissue) in the feed
chute, when the appliance is connected to the power supply. Before removing the juicer cover always
switch off the appliance, wait until the motor completely stops, and unplug from the power outlet.
Always keep the table or counter dry and clean. Do not drip or spill any liquids on the motor base or
power cord. Do not place any tissue or similar materials under the motor base to avoid fire and electri-
cal shock.
When liquids are spilled over or under the motor base than immediately switch OFF (power switch
position '0') and unplug the appliance and dry the motor base (see Trouble Shooting Guide).
1. Wash your fruit and vegetables and remove all inedible parts. Especially remove hard skins, seeds
or stones and stalks.
CAUTION: Do not use the appliance for chopping, slicing or shredding of hard foods and nutrients
(i.e. nuts or chocolate). Do not use for mincing meat or pureeing.
Tip: Most fruit and vegetables such as apples, carrots and cucumbers will not need to be cut to
pieces, as they will fit into the extra large feed chute of the juicer. When juicing carrots, place the tip
of the carrot in last.
2. Ensure the juicer is assembled correctly and the power switch is in OFF position '0'. (see Assembling
the Juicer). Ensure that you placed the juice container or another suitable large jug or glass under
the spout and the pulp container is mounted correctly.
3. Plug the power connector into a 220/240V AC power outlet.
4. Switch the power switch to the ON-position 'I' to start the motor.
CAUTION: If the motor appears to stall or stick during operation, immediately switch off and
unplug the appliance. Please refer to Trouble Shooting Guide.
WARNING: Always use the food pusher provided to push the food down the feed chute. Always
keep your face away from the feed chute during operation. Never grasp into the feed chute when the
appliance is connected to the power supply.
5. With the motor running, remove the food pusher and place food down the feed chute. Do not
overfill the feed chute.
6. Using the food pusher, slowly push the food down the feed chute.
To extract the maximum amount of juice, push the food pusher gently and slowly down without
violation. The juice will flow in the juice container and the pulp will accumulate in the pulp contai
ner.
