Product Components
Familiarize yourself with the parts of your Gastroback Pro Vital 40117 Centrifugeuse Juicer.
- Motor Base: Contains the 700W multi-motor.
- Pulp Container: Collects discarded pulp, dishwasher safe.
- Juice Container: Transparent container for collecting extracted juice.
- Feeding Chute: XL (75mm diameter) for whole fruits and vegetables.
- Micro-sieve: Stainless steel filter for fine juice.

- Pusher: Used to guide fruits and vegetables down the feeding chute.
Setup and Assembly
Before first use, wash all removable parts (pulp container, juice container, lid, micro-sieve, pusher) in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry. The pulp container is dishwasher safe.
- Place the motor base on a stable, flat, and dry surface.
- Insert the micro-sieve filter basket securely into the motor base. Ensure it clicks into place.
- Place the lid onto the motor base, aligning the locking mechanism.
- Attach the pulp container to the side of the juicer, ensuring it is properly seated to collect pulp.
- Position the transparent juice container under the juice spout.
- Insert the pusher into the feeding chute.
- Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet (230V).
Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for optimal juicing results.
- Prepare your fruits and vegetables. While the XL chute allows for whole items, remove large seeds (e.g., peach pits) and hard skins (e.g., pineapple, melon). Wash all produce thoroughly.
- Ensure the juicer is correctly assembled and plugged in.
- Turn on the juicer using the power switch. The 700W multi-motor will start.
- Gradually feed fruits and vegetables into the feeding chute. Use the pusher gently to guide them down. Do not force produce into the chute, as this can strain the motor.
- The fresh juice will flow into the juice container, and the pulp will be collected in the pulp container.
- Once juicing is complete, turn off the juicer and unplug it from the power outlet.
Tips for Best Results:
- For maximum juice yield, feed produce slowly and steadily.
- Juice softer fruits (like berries) alternately with harder fruits (like apples) to prevent clogging.
- Consume fresh juice immediately for the best taste and nutritional value.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your juicer.
- Always unplug the juicer before cleaning.
- Disassemble all removable parts: pusher, lid, micro-sieve, pulp container, and juice container.
- Rinse all removable parts under running water immediately after use to prevent pulp from drying and sticking.
- Use a cleaning brush (often supplied with juicers, though not explicitly mentioned here) to clean the micro-sieve thoroughly. Ensure all pulp is removed from the fine mesh.
- The pulp container is dishwasher safe. Other parts can be washed by hand with warm soapy water.
- Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base in water.
- Dry all parts completely before reassembling or storing the juicer.
Storage: Store the assembled juicer in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your juicer.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Juicer does not turn on. | Not plugged in; safety lock not engaged; power outage. | Ensure power cord is securely plugged in. Check that all parts are correctly assembled and the safety locking arm is engaged. Check household fuse/circuit breaker. |
| Motor stops during operation. | Overload protection activated; too much produce fed at once. | Turn off and unplug the juicer. Remove excess produce. Wait 15-20 minutes for the motor to cool down before restarting. Feed produce more slowly. |
| Low juice yield or wet pulp. | Micro-sieve clogged; produce fed too quickly. | Clean the micro-sieve thoroughly. Feed produce at a slower, more consistent pace. |
| Excessive vibration or noise. | Improper assembly; damaged micro-sieve. | Disassemble and reassemble all parts, ensuring they are securely in place. Inspect the micro-sieve for damage; replace if necessary. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact Gastroback customer support.
