Meat grinder

M1 Tamper
M2 Meat bowl
M3 Machine with funnel
M4 Screw conveyor
M5 Lock nut
M6 Blade
M7 Hole plate

To install the meat grinder, first place the M6 blade on the M4 screw conveyor and insert it into the M3 machine. Insert the hole plate M7 (depending on whether you require coarse, medium or fine grinding). Make sure that the grooves in the hole plate fit correctly into the grooves in the machine and tighten everything with the M5 lock nut (see figure PG1).

Note: Do not tighten the lock nut too hard. Make sure that the cutting blade is oriented correctly (flat, sharp edge towards the hole plate – forwards). If you put it on incorrectly, it will not grind the meat.

Loosen the locking screw and remove the plug (9) (see figure PG2).
Insert the machine into the multifunction head mechanism so that the groove on the machine fits into the groove in the head. Secure with locking screw, see figure PG3.

Note: This step is the same for installing the sausage machine and the grater.

Attach the M2 meat bowl to the M3 funnel. Place a suitable container under the grinder outlet.
Connect the appliance to the mains, switch on and select the time and speed. Start the program. Insert meat cleansed from tendons and bones cut into pieces about 2.5 cm.
Put the meat in the bowl of the grinder. Use the M1 tamper to gently push the meat into the grinder’s funnel. (Grind the meat twice for tartar steak.)
After use, switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the mains.

WARNING: Never use your fingers to push the mixture into the machine.

WARNING: Do not let the appliance run continuously for more than 5 minutes. Allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before starting again.

Place the S1 sausage attachment holder and the S2 sausage attachment on it on the M4 screw conveyor. Tighten lock M5 to M3. Attach the assembled machine to the multifunction head. Proceed in the same way as described in the “Meat grinder” section. Note: Do not tighten the lock nut too hard.
Soak the sausage casing in lukewarm water for 10 minutes. Then thread the moist casing onto the S2 sausage filling attachment and close it with a knot.
Connect the appliance to the mains, switch on and select the time and speed. Start the program.
Prepare a mixture of minced meat and spices in an M2 bowl. With the M1 tamper, gently push it into the funnel of the machine and at the same time hold the filled casing at the outlet opening.
If the casing sticks to the attachment, moisten it with water.
Recommendation: Allow the sausages to dry for some time after filling.

Place a suitable container under the grinder outlet.
Cut the potatoes or other vegetables into pieces that are the same size as the grater feed.
Connect the appliance to the mains, switch on and select the time and speed. Start the program.
Use tamper V1 to push the vegetables into the funnel of the machine (see figure PG4).

WARNING: Never use your fingers to push the mixture into the machine. Be careful not to injure yourself when handling the graters – the graters are sharp.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem

|

Cause

|

Solution

---|---|---

The appliance suddenly stops working during use.

|

The appliance may have run for too long or the ambient temperature may be too high, resulting in the appliance’s motor temperature being too high. The overheat protection program and automatic switch-off start.

|

Switch off the appliance and disconnect the power supply, wait for the appliance to cool down to room temperature and restart it (generally it is necessary to let the appliance cool down for 15-30 minutes depending on the room temperature).

The appliance will not start even after setting the speed.

|

The plug is not properly inserted into the socket.

|

Make sure the plug is firmly inserted in the socket.

Power outage.

|

Wait until the electricity is on again.

The appliance’s head is not seated properly.

|

Check that the appliance head is firmly seated.

Excessive noise when the

appliance is running.

|

1. At high speed level the appliance will work louder

than at low level.

2. The amount of mixed food is too large, which overloads the appliance.

3. The voltage is unstable.

4. Operating time is too long.

|

1. Choose the right food mixing accessories as recommended in the manual.

2. Make less dough at one time.

3. If the voltage is unstable, wait until it stabilizes before use.

4. If the operating time is too long, let the appliance cool down for a while.

The appliance speed is decreasing or unstable.

|

1. Check that the room

temperature is not too low, which causes the lubricant in the appliance to solidify.

2. The dough is mixed at too high a speed and in too large an amount, which overloads the appliance.

3. There is a sudden drop in voltage.

|

1. Remove the bowl and let the appliance idle for 5 minutes to loosen the lubricant in the appliance and restore speed stability.

2. Reduce the mixing volume and let the appliance run according to the norm working speed.

3. Once the voltage is stable, try restarting the appliance.

The appliance sways and shakes during operation.

|

1. Make sure that the feet are firmly attached to the base of the appliance.

2. The appliance is not placed on a smooth and level worktop.

|

1. Make sure that the feet are firmly attached to the base of the appliance.

2. Always place the appliance on a smooth and level surface.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
