Prior to use

Remove the electric food grater SGR 150 D1 and all accessories from the packaging and check that all items have been included. Remove all protective foil. We recommend that you clean all accessories again prior to their initial use.

Inserting/removing cylinder

Now, select one of the 5 enclosed cylinders (4, 5, 6, 7, 10) as required and push it as far as possible into the feed chute (11). For the range of application of the individual cylinders (4, 5, 6, 7, 10), please refer to the diagram in the “Cylinders” section on page 12. Then attach the feed chute (11) with the inserted cylinder (4, 5, 6, 7, 10) to the motor shaft (9). To facilitate this attachment, an arrow  is indicated at the back of the feed chute (11). On the housing of the food grater (1),
an open lock is indicated on the right next to the motor shaft (9) and a closed lock H is indicated above it. Proceed as follows:

• Attach the feed chute (11) with the inserted cylinder (4, 5, 6, 7, 10) to the motor shaft (9) so that the arrow on the feed chute (11) points towards the open lock on the housing of the food grater (1).
• Then rotate the feed chute (11) anticlockwise until the arrow points to the closed lock H on the housing of the food grater (1).

If the feed chute cannot be used correctly, check whether the cylinder (4, 5, 6, 7, 10) was pushed into it as far as possible. Store the remaining cylinders (4, 5, 6, 7, 10) in the storage compartment (8) and close it with the storage compartment cover (3). Then attach the storage compartment (8) to the electric food grater (1).
To remove the cylinder, first remove the feed chute (11) from the food grater (1).

• Then rotate the feed chute (11) clockwise until the arrow  points to the open lock on the housing of the food grater (1).

You can then remove the cylinder (4, 5, 6, 7, 10) from the feed chute (11).
Proceed as follows:
First, remove the pusher (12) from the feed chute (11). Then hold the feed chute (11) with one hand.

1. Use your thumb and index finger of your other hand to grip the edge of the inserted cylinder (4, 5, 6, 7, 10) and feed chute (11) and press them together as shown in the illustration.
2. You can detach the cylinder (4, 5, 6, 7, 10) easily in this manner and then remove it from the feed chute (11).

• Be careful when removing the cylinders (4, 5, 6, 7, 10). The blades are very sharp! There is a risk of injury.

Please note that you cannot insert or remove the cylinder (4, 5, 6, 7, 10) while the feed chute (11) is attached to the food grater (1).

 Mains cable/mains cable duct

Now, pull the integrated mains cable as required from the mains cable duct and insert the mains plug into a socket that is always easily accessible. You can store the mains cable again in the mains cable duct after use.
The electric food grater (1) is now ready to use.

• Be careful when using and cleaning the cylinders (4, 5, 6, 7, 10). The blades are very sharp! There is a risk of injury.

Operating steps

• Prepare the food to be processed so that it can be inserted easily in the feed chute (11).
•  Place a suitable bowl under the opening of the cylinder to collect the processed food.
• Now insert the prepared food in the feed chute (11).
•  Press the Start button (2) and keep it pressed. The cylinder (4, 5, 6, 7 or 10) in use then rotates.
• To prevent blocking of the cylinder (4, 5, 6, 7, 10) in use, the pusher (12) should be pressed only when the Start button (2) is pressed and the cylinder (4, 5, 6, 7, 10) rotates.
• The food in the feed chute can be inserted into the cylinder using the pusher (12). When the feed chute (11) is empty, you can insert more food if necessary.
• The processed food falls forwards from the opening of the cylinder to the bowl placed previously under the device.
• After all prepared foods have been processed, release the Start button (2).
• If you want to process larger quantities of food, always observe the short operating time of 2 minutes to avoid damaging the electric food grater (1).
• Remove the mains plug from the socket.
