Care and Cleaning

wARninG: Always ensure that the juicer is
switched off at the power outlet. Then remove
the plug from the power outlet before clean-
ing, dissembling and storing the appliance. Do
not immerse the motor base in water or any
other liquid. Do not use water jet to clean the
motor base. Do not clean the motor base in the
dishwasher.
The centre of the filter basket and feed chute
contain small sharp blades to process fruit and
vegetables during the juicing function. Do not
touch blades when handling the filter basket or
feed chute.
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`.
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, juice jug 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 discoloura-
tion 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 clean-
ing 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.
nOTe: Alternatively you can soak the filter
basket in hot water with dental prosthesis
detergent. rinse thoroughly with clear water
and he provided nylon brush.
iMpORTAnT: Do not soak the stainless steel
filter basket in bleach. Always treat the filter
basket with care as it can be easily damaged.
Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. ensure
of no water intrusion into the inside of the motor
block.
Allow parts to air dry or thoroughly dry them
with a clean cloth. Always assemble the appliance
completely before storing (regard ´Assembling the
appliance`). The units are protected this way and
can not get lost. Keep all parts out of reach of chil-
dren.
ATTenTiOn: Occasionally clean the drive cou-
pling (see picture) with a damp cloth. ensure the
stainless steel balls of
the basket adjustment
are clean and free from
dried on juice or pulp
residue. After every fifth
usage put some vaseline
onto the balls of the adjustment.
wARninG: Please store the juicer in a frost-free,
clean and dry location where it is out of reach of
children and is protected against excessively loads
(such as down-fall, voltage, heat, humidity). Never
lay heavy or hard objects on top of the appliance.

juicing 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`).
excess pulp building up in stop the juicing process. remove the juicer cover, scrape off pulp. Assemble and
the micro mesh filter basket begin juicing again. Try alternating (soft and hard) vegetable and fruit varieties.
Pulp too wet and reduced Try a slower juicing action by pushing the food pusher down more slowly.
extracted juice 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.
Juice leaks between the rim Try a slower juicing action by pushing the food pusher down more slowly. Fruit

juicing
To clear blockage
When juicing hard or stringily fruit or vegetables, or if you push down the food pusher too fast or with too
much pressure or the juicing action is too vigorous, wet pulp can build up under the juicer cover
or the motor appears to stall when juicing. Wet pulp would block the fine mashes of the filter basket. Try
slower juicing action by pushing the food pusher down more slowly. Follow Disassembling and cleaning
instructions and clean the filter bowl surround, the stainless steel filter basket and the juicer cover.
1. Turn the appliance off, wait for the motor to stop moving and pull the plug.
2. Disassemble the appliance according to the instructions.
wARninG: Do not touch blades when handling the filter basket.
3. remove residue of food on the filter basket with a small wooden or plastic spoon.
4. Assemble the appliance according to the instructions and continue juicing.
5. if another blockage occurs clean the appliance according to the instruction ´care and cleaning`.
To avoid further blockage:
• When juicing hard or stringily fruit or vegetables choose a high speed.
• Remove very hard and stringily elements such as stalks and stems.
• Try slower juicing action by pushing the food pusher down more slowly.
• Avoid overloading pulp in the pulp container. The pulp has to be able to fall easily and
unhindered into the pulp container.
• Try other fruit and vegetables.
