Meat Grinder
Safety hints and tips
- We recommend interrupting the operation from time to time, switch off the appliance and remove the food stuck on the attachments (or blocking the attachments).
- Never let the mincer running if the hopper is empty!
- Do not mince frozen meat.
- Attach the cutting blade B2 to the spiral feeder with B1 the cutting edges facing forward.
Assembly
Assemble the mincer according to the intended use (for meat, smoked food) and
mount it on the main motor unit – see Figure 1. Apply reverse procedure to
disassemble the mincer and to remove it from the motor unit head. When
removing the grinder, you have to push the release button A3 first.
- A) Meat mincing
The mincer can mince any type of meat, which is free of bones, tendons and skin. Mincing coarseness can be adjusted by using different mincing discs (B3, B4) with various sizes of openings. Cut the meat in advance into cubes of about 3x3x3 cm. Put bowl under the mincer to catch the minced meat. Put the meat cubes into the hopper so that the spiral feeder B1 can take them without being blocked, and slightly push the meat down, using the pusher B8. Proceeding like this will prevent the motor unit from becoming overloaded.
Tips
- Regularly check if the mincing disc openings are passable during the meat processing. If the disc openings get blocked while mincing meats of various consistency (for example bacon and liver), the juices may flow along the screw feeder shaft inside the motor unit of the mincer. Therefore pay maximum attention to ensure smooth flow of the processed food through the mincing disc. If the flow is blocked, immediately switch off the mincer, disassemble the mincer and clean all components.
- If the appliance is blocked, first switch it off and then use the reverse run function (A7 button) to release the food.
- B) Smoked foods (sausages, frankfurters), etc.
Put the minced meat into hopper B9. Use the pusher B8 to slightly push the meat inside the mincer. Soak the sausage casings in warm water (for about 10 minutes) to improve their elasticity. Then put it „arranged in folds“ on the outlet piece. Let 5 cm at the end of the casing hang freely, and tie up or skewer it. Put the prepared mixture into the hopper and slightly push it down using the pusher B8. Proceed as appropriate for the respective smoked food (for example sausages, short sausages, etc.) or white pudding.
Tips
- We recommend two persons for this procedure. One puts the mixture inside, and the other holds the casing in the proper position on the outlet adapter B7. When filling the casing, proceed so that no air can get inside.
- If the outlet opening of the smoked food adapter B7 gets blocked, switch off the motor unit, remove the attachment and clean it.
Adapter for slicing / grating of vegetables and fruits,
Safety hints and tips
- Never push down the grated/sliced fruits or vegetables by fingers! Move the food along the feed tube by the pusher, slowly, while pushing down slightly.
- Be careful when handling the graters. They employ very sharp blades.
- Never use the graters to process hard materials, for example ice cubes, coffee / cereal /corn grains, spices, etc.
- When processing a large amount of food, check if the food is not cumulating above and below the grater.
- If the grating adapter is blocked, switch off the motor unit, disassemble the adapter body and clean it.
Assembly
Assemble the adapter and mount it on the driving unit head according to Figure
- Apply reverse procedure to disassemble and remove the adapter from the driving unit head. When or removing the adapter, you have to push the release button A3 first.
Note
When graters are removed, they must be first partially rotated and then
unhooked from hooks.
Preparing the food
The attachments can be used for chopping, slicing, grating and scraping of
almost any type of fruits or vegetables. You can use the slicing/chopping
grater to process fruits, vegetables, cheese and food of similar structure.
The cheese greater is designed for processing hard cheeses and making bread
crumps.
Use
Put a suitable container under the grating adapter outlet. Chop the vegetables
into pieces of the size fit for putting them inside the grating adapter
feeding tube. Put the pieces into the adapter and slightly push by the pusher.
The processed food is going out from the outlet into the provided container.
Tipy
-
A small amount of food will remain on the grater after each use.
This is normal and does not establish a reason for filing a complaint. -
First remove peels if processing citrus fruits.
-
If you are chopping hard cheese or chocolate, work for a short time, because the food heats up, becomes softer and may get lumpy.
-
Before slicing cabbage, cut it into hunks and remove the cabbage stalks.
MAINTENANCE
Unplug the power cable from socket before any handling with the appliance!
Do not use rough and aggressive cleaning agents! Perform any cleaning of the
drive unit and the carrier only with wet rag with detergent. Wash other
accessories immediately after use in hot water with detergent. Work very
carefully when cleaning the knife!

contact with hard objects which blunt them and decrease their efficiency.
After washing and drying
out the components, we recommend applying cooking oil on the knife and plates.
Do not use dishwasher to clean metal parts! Some agents can tinge the
accessories
in some way. However, this has no influence on function of the appliance and
this tint usually disappears by itself after some time.Never dry plastic
mouldings above heat sources
(e.g. stove, electric cooker, gas cooker). Store the appliance on dry and
dust–free place out of reach of children and incapable persons.
