PROPERTIES OF YOUR »DESIGN MINCER PRO

CAUTION: Do not operate the appliance continuously for more than 3 minutes. If you wish to process larger amounts of food, always make brakes in between times, switching the appliance OFF to avoid overheating.
The appliance is NOT suited for grinding very hard, very fibrous, or watery foods. Cook hard vegetables (e.g. carrots) and leave to drain, and/or cut to small pieces, before processing with the mincer.
Do not process extremely watery foods (e.g. some fruits). Otherwise, juice could run into the gear hole of the motor housing and cause damage to the motor.

Power Switch

The appliance is equipped with a separate power switch for switching OFF the appliance completely (see: Knowing your Design Mincer).
With the power switch ON and the appliance connected to the power supply, the indicators of the operating buttons on top of the motor housing (ON/OFF and REVERSE) illuminate white. Always switch OFF the appliance at the power switch, when it is not in use for several minutes.
The Buttons ON/OFF and REVERSE
Using the operating buttons ON/OFF and REVERSE you switch the motor on and off. The arrows on the buttons indicate the direction of movement of the food within the cut-ter housing.
For processing your food, generally use the normal forward operation, controlled via the ON/OFF button.
The indicator of this button illuminates white, when the appliance is connected to the power supply and switched on via the power switch. After pressing the ON/OFF button, the indicator of this button illuminates blue, and the motor starts working immediately. The worm shaft moves the foods to the outlet of the cutter housing.
Do not let the motor work continuously for more than 3 minutes. Usually, during this time, you have processed a tablet full of meat. Thereafter, switch OFF the motor for 15 minutes to let the motor cool down. It is a good idea to use this time for preparing the next portion.
Reverse operation is only intended for loosening blocked foods in the worm shaft (see: Loosing Blocked Food—Reverse Operation).
The indicator of this button illuminates white, when the appliance is connected to the power supply and switched on via the power switch. The indicator flashes blue, when reverse operation is active.

TOOLS

The appliance is provided with four sets of tools:
Cutter blade and three grinding discs – for mincing and mixing.
Separator disc and sausage horn – for filling sausage skins with minced meat
Plastic finger and cone – for making special meat pâté / Kebbe
Cookie maker and former – for preparing cookies. For this, you need the separator disc as well. CAUTION: Always use only one matching set of tools. For mincing and mixing only use one single grinding disc.
Select the grinding disc according to the consistency of your foods and your liking.
Select the coarse grinding disc for firm foods, and for making coarse sausages.
Select the medium grinding disc for tender foods.
To get a really fine consistency (e.g. for Kebbe), process the foods several times, beginning with the coarse or medium grinding disc. Then use the fine grinding disc for the second or third run.
Example: For steak tartare, mince the meat with the medium grinding disc twice.

TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

Only process edible foods that are not off and not over-stored. Only use meat that is really fresh! Additionally, process meat directly before consuming or cooking it. Even in the refrigerator, chopped meat is highly perishable.
Do not process very hard, very fibrous, or too large pieces of food (e.g. bones, gristle, thick sinews, seeds, nuts, stringy stalks, hard shells, etc.). Cook hard vegetables, and always remove any uneatable parts completely, before processing the food.
Cut the foods into suitable pieces that can be inserted effortlessly in the feed tube. When processing larger amounts of food, prepare the foods in portions that can be processed within 2 or 3 minutes. In between times, switch OFF the mincer (ON/OFF button and power switch) to let the motor cool down. In the meantime, you can prepare the next portion.
Cut meat and food of similar consistency in strips (ca. 10 cm in length and 2 cm thick). Cut food that is somewhat firmer in 1 cm cubes (at the maximum).
If the motor agitates too slowly and is about to get stuck, cut your food to smaller pieces, and/or cook firm food (e.g. vegetables), before processing. Slow down your work-speed.
Add onions and finely grinded spices, while mincing the foods for getting an even mixture. However, hard spices (e.g. pepper, nutmeg, etc.) must be grinded in a mill, before processing with the mincer. It is a good idea to fry onions for minced pork before pro-cessing. This way, onions are more flavoury and wholesome.

OPERATION

WARNING: The mincer is intended for mincing food. For this, the appliance is equipped with sharp-edged knives and other electrically driven moving parts. Do not insert your hands or any foreign objects (e.g. cooking utensils) in the feed tube, or outlet of the cutter housing while the appliance is connected to the power supply, to avoid risks of injuries.
Always switch OFF the ON/OFF button first, then switch OFF the power switch, then unplug the appliance, before assembling or disassembling any parts. Before operation, always ensure that you have assembled the appliance completely and correctly accor-ding to the instructions in this booklet, and that there are no foreign objects in the feed tube.

STUFFED KEBBE
Kebbe (Bebble) is a traditional Middle Eastern dish made primarily of lamb and bulgur wheat, which are minced together to form a paste. This mixture is extruded through a Kebbe maker and cut into short tubes that can be stuffed with a minced meat mixture, the ends pressed together and then fried.

Outer Sleeves

500 g lamb meat, cut into strips
500 g washed and drained bulgur wheat
1 small onion
Process alternate batches of lamb and bulgur wheat through the mincer fitted with the medium grinding disc, adding the onion before all the lamb and wheat are minced. Mix the minced lamb, onion and wheat thoroughly. Then process in the mincer a second and third time using the fine grinding disc. The mixture is now ready to extrude through the Kebbe tool.

Filling

400 g lamb meat, cut into strips
15 ml (= 1 tablespoon) of oil
2 medium onions, finely chopped
5-10 ml (= 1-2 tablespoons) of allspice, grinded
15 ml (= 1 tablespoon) of plain flour
Salt and pepper
To make the filling :
Mince the lamb meat using the medium grin-ding disc, fry the onion in the oil until it is golden brown, add the lamb meat and allow to brown until it is done. Add the remaining ingredients and cook for 1-2 minutes. Drain off any excess fat if necessary and allow cooling.
Making the sleeves :
Process the sleeve mixture through the Kebbe tool and cut into pieces (approximately 7-8 cm in length). Press one end of the tubes together, and then carefully fill up with the filling, leaving a small gap at the open end, which can be pressed together to seal. Fry the Kebbe in batches in hot oil (at ca. 190°C) for approximately 6 minutes, until it is golden brown and the filling piping hot.
