DESCRIPTION OF THE EXTRA ATTACHMENT

V – Nutcracker (pic. 1)

V0 – extension body
V1 – control disc
V2 – cover with funnel
V3 – pusher

PREPARATION AND USE

Remove all packaging materials, take out the all accessories. Remove all adhesive foils, stickers or paper from the accessories.

Assembly (pic. 2)

Slide the assembled nutcracker (mill with a cogwheel) into the front outlet of the power unit at an angle of approx. 45o. By turning it counterclockwise, secure it in the vertical position (you will hear a click). To remove the assembled nutcracker, press the release button on the power unit, turn the nutcracker clockwise as far as it goes and then slide it out of the power unit outlet.

Attention

Never use your fingers to push nuts. Always move food using the pusher V3 only, move it slowly and to not push to a processor too
Never process food with a diameter of more than 40 mm!
We do not recommend processing pistachios, pecans, peanuts, edible
If during the processing of a larger number of nuts it will be necessary to adjust the machine to a smaller size of nuts, it must be cleaned first. Switch the processor off, remove the accessory and shake out any remaining kernels and shells (pic. 4). Then the machine can be adjusted and mounted on the processor
Nuts which due to their shape and size cannot be crushed even when the nutcracker is set to need to be cracked in another way, e.g. ‘manually’.

Food preparation

The accessory can be used to process walnuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, Brazil nuts, almonds.

Recommendation

If you are processing animal feed in addition to food, do not use it for food purposes and subsequent
Preparation time (processing) depends on the quantity, type and quality of the food used but the processing is usually completed in

Setting ‘fineness / roughness’ of crushing (pic. 3)

Depending on the type/size of the used nuts and the degree of crushing required, use the control disc V1 to set the optimum distance of the crushing mechanism so that you are able to crush the shell. By turning the disc clockwise (i.e. to the right), you reduce the distance between the crushing wheel and the wall ( Min. 9 mm ); by turning it counterclockwise (i.e. to the left), you achieve a greater distance between the crushing wheel and the wall (Max. 29 mm ). Use a few larger nuts for easier setup.

Application

Place either a stainless steel bowl or another suitable container in which you will collect nuts with the crushed shells under the attachment. Plug the power cord into a socket. Switch the appliance on by turning the speed control to level 3. Insert the food into the filling hole gradually to prevent the neck of the attachment body from filling up to the upper edge. The pusher V3 is designed to smoothly move the food into space. Use it with reasonable force after inserting the individual pieces into the filling opening but not to push the completely filled neck with food up to the upper edge. The food comes out through the outlet into the prepared container. Nuts that have not been crushed when passing through for the first time can be processed after resetting the nutcracker for the second time. After processing, switch the power unit off by turning the knob to 0/OFF position.

Storing nuts

Nuts are not intended for long-term storage as they tend to turn rancid soon, catch mould quickly or are attacked by various pests (food moths), making them unusable for food purposes. Do not store nuts in an environment where there are strong odours or smells nearby, as they absorb them.

We recommend storing shelled nuts under the following conditions:

Place them in an airtight container and store them in a dry, cool and dark place. The nuts stored in this way last for several weeks. If you put the container in the refrigerator, they will last three to four months and, if stored in the freezer, they will last up to 1 year. For long-term storage, it is necessary to either preserve the nuts or soak them e.g. in honey.

MAINTENANCE

(pic. 5)

Do not use abrasive and aggressive cleaning agents!

After use, wipe the nutcracker with a clean cloth. Do not immerse in water and do not wash it in a dishwasher (avoid water getting in the internal components)!

Take care that the binding surfaces and the sealing elements are functional. Never dry plastic moulded parts above a heat source (e.g. fire stove, electric/gas stove ). Store the appliance thoroughly cleaned in a dry, dust- free location that is out of reach of children and incapacitated persons.
