Operation

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
NEVER open the housing of the motor unit 5 – it does not contain any user-serviceable elements. If the housing is opened, the warranty becomes void. If the housing is opened, there is a risk of receiving a potentially fatal electric shock.

CAUTION – PROPERTY DAMAGE!

  • Do not use the appliance for longer than 15 minutes continuously. To avoid an overheating of the appliance, after such a period switch it off and allow it to cool down for ca. 30 minutes.
  • NEVER activate the buttons “I” p or “<” s, during a change of rotation direction, if the appliance motor has not come to a complete stop. This could damage the motor.

Operating the appliance

Once the appropriate attachments have been fixed:

  1. Place the appliance where it will at all times be absolutely stable and under no circumstances could it fall off of the work surface or in any way come into contact with water (due to vibrations or becoming snagged in the power cable). Vibration is unavoidable when it is working.
    RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
    Never touch an appliance, which is plugged in or is operational when it happens, that falls or lands in water – or in the case of other emergencies!First disconnect the appliance from the mains power source in all emergency situations! Otherwise you run the risk of serious injury or loss of life!
  2.  Put the food which is to be processed in the feeding tray 3 and place a catchment container at the front under the exit opening.
  3. First press the button “0” a to check that the appliance is still switched off. Otherwise there is a risk that the appliance could unintentionally start when the plug is inserted into the power socket.
  4. Then insert the plug into a mains power socket.
  5. Press the button “I” p to start the appliance.

WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!
Push the foodstuff into the feeding shaft ONLY with the round stodger 2 –NEVER with one’s fingers, forks, spoons or similar objects. That could lead to physical injury and also damage the appliance.

CAUTION – PROPERTY DAMAGE!
Do not ever press so hard that the motor gets audibly slower. This could overburden the machine and damage it.

Processing meat

  1. Use pieces of meat that fit easily into the feeding funnel. If necessary, cut the meat to size beforehand. Check that the meat does not have any bones and or tendons.
    WARNING!
    Minced meat is very prone to bacterial contamination. Therefore take care to maintain good hygiene when processing meat. If you do not, it may cause serious health problems.
  2. When you have read and understood all of the instructions on the topic ”Meat“, you can now use the appliance as described in the chapter “Operating the appliance”.

Processing sausage meat

  1. Pass meat through the meat grinder twice before using it as sausage stuffing.
  2. To make sausage stuffing, add some chopped onions, spices and other ingredients to the minced meat, as per your recipe, and knead the mixture well. Refrigerate this for 30 minutes before processing it further.
  3. Pull one end of the sausage skin (natural or artificial sausage skin) onto the sausage stuffer attachment z and tie a knot in the other end. For 1 kg of the filling, you will need approximately 1.60 m of sausage skin.
    TIP!
    Soak the natural sausage skin in lukewarm water for about 3 hours before using it and wring it out before attaching it. This will make the natural sau-sage skin more elastic. Natural sausage skins are available from butcher suppliers close to slaughter houses or from your family butcher.
  4. The sausage mixture will be pressed into the sausage skin by the sausage stuffer attachment z. When it is long enough switch the appliance off, press the sausage together at the ends and rotate it a couple of times along its longitudinal axis.
    TIP!
    Sausage meat tends to expand when cooked or frozen. Therefore, to prevent it from bursting it is best not to overstuff the sausage.
  5. When you have read and understood all of the instructions on the topic ”Sausage”, you can now use the appliance as described in the chapter “Operating the appliance”.
Using the kubbe attachment

With the kubbe attachment i foodstuffs can be processed to form hollow rolls of meat or vegetables, which can then be stuffed as desired.

  1. First put the meat through the meat grinder twice before pressing it through the kubbe attachment i.
  2. When you have read and understood all of the instructions on the topic “Kubbe-Attachment”, you can now use the appliance as described in the chapter “Operating the appliance”.

Making biscuits
After you have made the biscuit pastry according to your recipe, and after having fixed the biscuit attachment 1:

  1. Line a small baking tray with greaseproof paper and place or hold it directly under the exit opening at the front of the appliance.
  2. Press pastry evenly into the meat grinder casing 6 – the transport screw q then pushes it through the selected design on the design motif strip of the biscuit attachment 1.
  3. When the biscuit is the required length, stop the appliance and break the pastry off at the exit opening. Lay the biscuits on the baking tray.
  4. When you have read and understood all of the instructions on the topic “Biscuits”, you can now use the appliance as described in the chapter “Operating the appliance”

Straining tomatoes

  1. Place a container under the tomato outlet 8.
  2. Place a container at the front under the strainer sieve 0.
  3. Quarter the tomatoes and push them into the meat grinder casing 6 slowly and evenly. The plastic screw 9 pushes the tomatoes through the strainer attachment. The strained tomatoes fall into the tomato outlet 8. The tomato skin is ejected from the strainer sieve 0 at the front of the appli-ance.
  4. Once you have read and understood all of the instructions in the section “Straining tomatoes”, you can use the appliance as described in the section “Operating the appliance”.

Non-functionality

If the drive is blocked by accumulated food: 

  • Press the button “0” a to stop the meat grinder.
  • Press and hold the button “<” s. The appliance will now run in the reverse direction. This enables you to transport the food which has become stuck a short way backwards, and the motor to run freely again.
  • When the drive runs smoothly again, release the “<” s button.
  • Press the button “I” p to re-start the meat grinder.
  • If you do not succeed in getting the drive free with this, clean the appliance as described in the chapter “Cleaning”.

Should the motor suddenly stop, it could be due to automatic activation of the internal overload fuse. This is intended to protect the motor.

  • Switch the appliance off and allow it cool down for approximately 30 minutes before continuing to use it.
  • Should this not work, wait for a further 15 minutes.
  • If it still does not function at the end of this period, this indicates a technical problem. In this case, contact the Customer Service Centre.

If the power cable is damaged or the accessories are visibly damaged:

  • Immediately switch the appliance off by pressing the “0” a button!
  • If this is not possible without risk to personal safety, disconnect the plug from the mains power socket.
  • Arrange for the defective parts to be repaired by Customer Services before re-using the appliance.

Cleaning

Cleaning the motor block
Clean the exterior surfaces and the power cable with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, add mild detergent to the cloth. Afterwards, wipe with a cloth moistened only with fresh water to ensure that all detergent is removed. Dry the appliance well before re-using it.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK|
Never immerse the motor block 5 in water or any other liquid! Should this occur, you are at risk of a potentially fatal electric shock if permeating moisture makes contact with the electrical wiring.
