3 MEAT MINCER E (ACCORDING TO MODEL)
3.1 – ASSEMBLING
- Take the body (E1) by the food funnel by placing the widest opening towards the top.
- Insert the screw (E2) (long scroll first) into the body (E1).
- Position the blade (E3) onto the short scroll which protrudes beyond the screw (E2) by moving the sharp edges towards the outside.
- Place the chosen plate (E4 or E5) over the blade (E3) by aligning the two sprockets with the two notches on the body (E1).
- Tighten the nut firmly (E6) on to the body (E1) by turning it clockwise but without jamming it.
- Check that you have correctly assembled your appliance. There shouldn’t be any looseness to the scroll nor should it be able to turn on its own. If this is not the case, repeat the previous steps.
3.2 – USEFUL INFORMATION
- Prepare the quantity of food that you wish to grind, up to 3 kg (remove any bones, gristle and nerves from the meat and cut into small pieces 2x2cm or thereabouts).
- Make sure that your meat is completely defrosted.
- Don’t use your meat grinder for more than 15 minutes, and let it cool down before father use.
- When you’ve finished, you can feed through a few small pieces of bread so as to force all the minced meat out.
3.3 – CLEANING
Dismantle the grinding head completely. Make sure you handle the blades with care, as they can cause injury.
- Wash, rinse and wipe the attachments: they are all dishwasher friendly except for all of the metal components of the grinding head: body (E1), screw (E2), blade (E3), plates (E4 and E5), nut (E6).
- The plates (E4) and (E5) as well as the blade (E3) must remain greasy. Coat them with some
cooking oil so as to keep them in good condition.

BASIC RECIPES
Chantilly cream Ingredients: 400 ml cold liquid cream (minimum 30% fat), 35 g
icing sugar. Put all the ingredients into the cold mixer bowl, then fit the
lid and the balloon whisk. Run at speed 5 for 3 minutes, then increase to
speed 6 for 1 minute. Monitor the consistency of your Chantilly cream from 3
minutes 30 seconds in because it can change quickly depending on the
temperature and the amount of fat in the cream.
Meringues
Ingredients: 4 egg whites (120 g), 120 g caster sugar, 120 g icing sugar.
Preheat the oven to 95°C. Put the egg whites and the caster sugar in the mixer
bowl, then fit the cover and the balloon whisk. Run at speed 6 for 4 minutes.
Lift the mixer head and add the 120 g of icing sugar. Beat for a further 2
minutes at speed 6. Fill a piping bag fitted with a fluted nozzle and pipe
shapes onto baking paper laid on top of a tray. Cook for 2 hours at 95°C.
Cake batter
Ingredients: 200 g sugar, 200 g room-temperature butter, 4 eggs (200 g), 200 g
flour, 2 level teaspoons baking powder (4 g). Put all the ingredients into the
bowl and fit the lid and the mixer. Run the appliance at speed 1 for 30
seconds and then speed 6 for 2 minutes. After these 2 minutes and 30 seconds,
lift the mixer head and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula; beat
the batter for a further 1 minute at speed 6. Pour the batter into a buttered
and floured cake mould and bake for 1 hour in an oven preheated to 180°C.
Pancake batter
Ingredients: 250 g flour, 500 g milk, 4 eggs, 2 sachets vanilla sugar, 6 g
salt. Put the eggs, vanilla sugar and milk into the mixer bowl. Fit the lid
and the balloon whisk and mix at speed 6. Gradually add the flour through the
lid opening using a spoon. Once all the flour is incorporated, leave it to mix
for 1 minute and then strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. Let the
batter rest for at least 1 hour at room temperature before making your
pancakes.
