Assembly for work with attachments

Assemble the food processor according to instructions in Figure No. 2, 3, 4 and 5 by lifting the multifunctional head up and putting the bowl lid on its bottom side. Then put the bowl with the food in the lower section of the food processor. Then install the desired adapter on the mount, and tilt the multifunctional head downward to the working position. Place filling opening cover on the filling opening. Apply reverse sequence to remove/exchange the adapter.

How to set the optimal height of the beater (Fig. 6)
If the beater keeps hitting against the bowl bottom or does not reach the ingredients at the bowl bottom, the beater height needs to be adjusted as appropriate. Proceed as follows: Insert the beater and empty bowl into the food processor and fold the multipurpose head A7 to the operating position. Check / estimate the distance between the beater and the bowl bottom. Remove the beater from the food processor head. Use a suitable tool (cross-point screw driver) to loosen the locking screw by approx. 5 turns (arrow 1). The bottom cap needs to be slid downwards (arrow 2). Adjust the height of the attachment by turning the fixing cap. Turn the cap clockwise to decrease the height or anticlockwise to increase the height (arrows 3). The fixing cap will be drawing near or moving further from the beater
(one full turn by 360° corresponds to 2mm). The beater should be as close to the bowl bottom and walls as possible but it should not touch them. Once you have adjusted the height, push the plastic cap upwards as far as it goes (arrow 4) and keep it in that position.
CAUTION: the projections shall fit in the counterpart depressions. Tighten the locking screw with reasonable force (arrow 5).

Mincer (D)

• D0 – Mincer body
• D1 – Spiral feeder
• D2 – Cutting blade
• D3 – Medium mincing disc
• D4 – Coarsem mincing disc
• D5 – Extra coarse mincing disc
• D6 – Nut
• D7 – Separátor
• D8 – Adapter for smoked food
• D9 – Former
• D10 – Cone
• D11 – Pusher
• D12 – Hopper
• D13 – Cogwheel
• D14 – Release lever

Safety hints and tips

• We recommend interrupting the operation from time to time, switch off the food processor and remove the food stuck on the attachments (or blocking the attachments).
• Never let the mincer running if the hopper is empty.
• Do not mince frozen meat.

Assembly
Assemble the mincer according to the intended use (for meat, smoked food, Kebbe) and mount it on the main motor unit – see Figures 7 and 9. Apply reverse procedure to disassemble the mincer D6 and to remove it from the motor unit head. Loosen the nut D6 using the release lever D14.

A) Meat mincing

The mincer can mince any type of meat, which is free of bones, tendons and skin. Mincing coarseness can be adjusted by using different mincing discs (D3, D4, D5) with various sizes of openings. Cut the meat in advance into cubes of about 3x3x3 cm. Put stainless bowl B1 or any other bowl under the mincer to catch the minced meat. Put the meat cubes into the hopper so that the spiral feeder D1 can take them without being blocked, and slightly push the meat down, using the pusher D11. Proceeding like this will prevent the motor unit from becoming overloaded. The maximum amount of the processed meat is 5 kg.
The maximum permitted processing speed is 6.

Tips

• Regularly check if the mincing disc openings are passable during the meat processing. If the disc openings get blocked while mincing meats of various consistency (for example bacon and liver), the juices may flow along the screw feeder shaft inside the motor unit of the food processor. Therefore pay maximum attention to ensure smooth flow of the processed food through the mincing disc. If the flow is blocked, immediately switch off the food processor, disassemble the mincer and clean all components.

B) Smoked foods (sausages, frankfurters), white pudding, etc.

Put the minced meat into hopper D12. Use the pusher D11 to slightly push the meat inside the mincer. Soak the sausage casings in warm water (for about 10 minutes) to improve their elasticity. Then put it „arranged in folds“ on the outlet piece. Let 5 cm at the end of the casing hang freely, and tie up or skewer it.

Switch on the food processor at a speed in the interval MIN to MAX (as needed for the respective product). Put the prepared mixture into the hopper and slightly push it down using the pusher D11. Proceed as appropriate for the respective smoked food (for example sausages, short sausages, etc.) or white pudding.
The maximum amount of the processed meat is 5 kg.

Tips

• We recommend two persons for this procedure. One puts the mixture inside, and the other holds the casing in the proper position on the outlet piece. When filling the casing, proceed so that no air can get inside.
• If the outlet opening of the smoked food adapter D8 gets blocked, switch off the motor unit, remove the attachment and clean it.

C) Kebbe – meat tubes

Put the prepared minced meat into hopper D12. If necessary, use the pusher D11 to push the meat down. The food processor will produce hollow tubes. Cut them to the desired length. Switch on the food processor at a speed in the interval MIN to 3.

Tips

• You can fill the tubes with various types of filling (for example meat or vegetable filling).
• If the outlet opening of former D10 is blocked, switch off the motor unit and clean it.

D) Dough forming (confectionery)

Choose appropriate accessories as required (D0, D1, D6, D7, D11, D12, D15 and D16), follow the procedure indicated in Fig. 9. Put the prepared dough in the hopper D12. If necessary, use the pusher D11 to push the dough down. The food processor will produce dough in the required shape.
Run the food processor at a speed in the interval 1 to 4.

Tipy

• We recommend holding (supporting) the outgoing dough in the desired shape by a tray to prevent tearing.
• Small amount of unprocessed dough will always remain in the mincer body. Therefore we recommend processing larger volumes (at least 300 g).

Grating disc adapter (E)

Description (Fig. 8)

• E0 – Adapter body
• E1 – Fine grater
• E2 – Coarse grater
• E3 – Thin slicing grater
• E4 – Cheese grater
• E5 – Pacusher
• E6 – Cogwheel

Assembly
Assemble the grating adapter and attach to the motor unit head according to Figure 7 and 8. Apply reverse procedure to disassemble the unit and to remove it from the motor unit head.

Safety hints and tips

• Never push down the grated/sliced fruits or vegetables by fingers! Move the food along the feed tube by the pusher, slowly, while pushing down slightly.
• Be careful when handling the graters. They employ very sharp blades.
• Never use the graters to process hard materials, for example ice cubes, coffee/cereal/corn grains, spices, etc.
• When processing a large amount of food, check if the food is not cumulating above and below the grater.
• If the grating adapter is blocked, switch off the motor unit, disassemble the adapter body and clean it.

Preparing the food
The attachments can be used for chopping, slicing, grating and scraping of almost any type of fruits or vegetables. You can slice carrots, potatoes, cabbages, cucumbers, zucchinis, beetroots, mushrooms, onions, etc. You can use the E1 – E3 grater to process fruits, vegetables, cheese and food of similar structure. The cheese greater E4 is designed for processing hard cheeses and making bread crumps.

Use
Put a suitable container under the grating adapter outlet. Chop the vegetables into pieces of the size fit for putting them inside the grating adapter feeding tube. Put the pieces into the adapter and slightly push by the pusher. The processed food is going out from the outlet into the provided container.
The recommended processing speed is 3 to MAX.

Tips

• A small amount of food will remain on the grater after each use. This is normal and does not establish a reason for filing a complaint.
• Cut large pieces into smaller ones so that they can be put into the hopper.
• First remove peels if processing citrus fruits.
• Input the food gradually and continuously.
• Do not chop the food too finely. Sufficiently fill the feeding tube to prevent slipping the food away in processing.
• Set low/medium speed when processing soft food, such as cucumbers. To process harder food, such as carrot or hard cheese, set the medium/high/maximum speed.
• Use low speed to grate soft food, otherwise it becomes mushy.
• If you are chopping hard cheese or chocolate, work for a short time, because the food heats up, becomes softer and may get lumpy.
• Before slicing cabbage, cut it into hunks and remove the cabbage stalks.
• When slicing or grating, the pieces of the processed food will be shorter if input vertically, not horizontally.

• Never remove the container lid F1 when the motor unit is running!
• Never pour boiling liquids in the container.
• Before removing the blender lid or container, wait until the rotating parts completely stop.
• When the blender is in the state of idle operation, e.g. the blade fails to touch the foods, unplug the unit until the foods have been relaxed.

Assembly
Assemble the blender and attach it to the blender mount A9 according to Figures 10 a 11. Instead of the plug for adding liquids F5 you can also insert the pusher F7 in the opening in the lid if you are going to use it. Apply reverse sequence to disassemble the unit and to remove it from the mount.

Before the first use
We recommend washing the glass container before using it for the first time. The knife section is treated with oil not harmful to health for technological reasons. Therefore first fill in the container with warm water (max. 50 °C) with a small amount of detergent. Then put the container on the food processor, set the maximum rotational speed and run for 1 minute. Then rinse the container with clear water.

Tips

• Never fill the container with liquids producing foam (for example milk) up to „MAX“ level to prevent overspill. We recommend 1 litre at maximum.

Use

Remove the lid, put or pour the food into the container and replace the lid. To press larger pieces of ingredients to the knife, use the pusher F7. We recommend that you always switch on the blender to minimum revolutions and then gradually increase the performance as required. The recommended processing speed is 1 – MAX.

Put the „fixed“ grinding disc H3 on the feeder, slowly rotate it until three arresting projections of the disc click into three recesses of the feeder. Then put the „mobile“ grinding disc (with the grooves lining up) on the fixed grinding disc. Put the pressure disc H4 on the shaft so that the central projection is aligned with the grinding disc opening. Then rotate the pressure disc until three arresting projections of the disc click into three recesses of the feeder. Finally put on the regulating knob and tighten it.

Safety hints and tips

• Never tighten the grinding discs by force!
• Poppy seed grinder is exclusively designed to process poppy seeds! Do not process other food (such as cereals, flax and sesame seeds, corn, rice, buckwheat, dried mushrooms, herbs, spices and coffee, etc.). Never process wet, damp or frozen poppy seeds!
• Never adjust the grinding coarseness level when the motor unit is running!
• If you need to process a larger amount of poppy seeds, do not exceed the maximum motor unit operation time.
• After grinding large amount of poppy seeds, the grinder components may become hot (e.g. the grinding discs, pressure disc or the feeder). Wait until they cool down before disassembly and cleaning. Hot discs are more difficult to dismantle.
• Do not let the grinder running, if the hopper is empty.

CAUTION: Never tighten the grinding discs by force!. Apply reverse procedure to disassemble the unit and to remove it from the motor unit head.
Setting the grinding „coarseness/fineness“ (Fig. 12)
The grinding fineness is set by the rotary regulating knob H5. Rotating the knob clockwise will reduce the distance between the grinding discs and change the grinding fineness /coarseness. To release the regulating disc easily H5, use the release key H6.

Use
Pour poppy seeds in the grinder‘s hopper. The grinding disc grooves will regulate the amount of the processed poppy seeds. Place a suitable container under the grinder to catch the ground poppy seeds, and switch on the food processor. You may add poppy seeds while the grinder is running.
The recommended processing speed is 4 to MAX.

Tips

• We recommend verifying the grinding fineness first, using a small amount of poppy seeds. If the fineness is not optimal, switch off the motor unit and adjust the settings by the regulating knob H5 (rotating anticlockwise = coarser grinding, rotating clockwise = finer grinding).
• Only use high quality poppy seeds. We recommend checking the poppy seeds for any impurities (such as stone fragments), which might damage the food processor (e.g. abrade the grinding discs). Complaints of defects caused by such impurities shall not be acknowledged even if filed within the guarantee period.
• Only use dry poppy seeds for grinding! Poppy seeds must be ground (not pressed) during grinding to be loose, not mushy and not to lose their distinctive flavour.
• Poppy seeds contain oil. To achieve good results, do not set the grinding level too fine.
• Poppy seeds are a simple and living „natural can“. Therefore it reacts hygroscopically and must be stored at a dry place. If the poppy seeds are ground too slowly, with difficulty and if excessive heat is produced, it indicates that the poppy seeds are too damp. Interrupt the grinding process and let the poppy seeds dry out for a sufficient time (for about several hours) so that the excessive humidity can evaporate. You can also use electrical/gas/hot-air oven set to 50 °C (max.) to dry out the poppy seeds.
• If the grinding discs rub/scrape against one another, the finest grinding level is set.
• The processing only takes several minutes, depending on the quantity, type and quality of the poppy seeds and the set grinding fineness level (about 100 g / 1 minute).

Knife sharpener (T)

III.8) Knife sharpener (T)

T – Knife sharpener

Safety hints and tips

• Applicable to kitchen knives of various materials universal stainless steel.
• Do not use the attachment when the grinding rollers are damaged, when there are visible cracks or splits.
• Do not use a pnife grinder while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
• Be careful with sharp knives and the knives you are going to sharpen.
• Make sure that only the blade of the knife comes into contact with the wheel.
• Never insert your fingers into the wheel.
• Do not use the sharpener with ceramic knives or knives with jagged edges and scissors, axes or any tool.

Assembly
The sharpener T and connect it to the head of the drive unit according to Fig. 7. Apply reverse procedure to disassemble the unit and to remove it from the motor unit head.

Use
Place the blade of the knife (specifically the part nearest to the handle) into the wheel by pressing lightly and gently pulling the knife towards you for approximately 3 or 7 seconds. Once you have performed this procedure 3 to 5 times, check that the knife has been sharpened sufficiently. Please sharpen the knife according to the shape of the blade, and don‘t use too much force (ensure constant force and uniform speed). Repeat the procedure until the knife has been sharpened to the desired degree. Once you have finished, unplug the appliance and clean knife in hot water with a detergent right after use, rinse it in clean water and wipe till dry.
The recommended processing speed is MAX.

Tips

• When sharpening the types of knives and chisels shown in picture no. 14B, do not sharpen the blade all the way to the end, meaning all the way to the handle!
• Do not sharpen knives with oil, water and lubricants!
• Do pull backward instead of forward when the knife is in the sharpening groove.
• In the case of very blunt knives or those with damaged blades, they will need to be sharpened using a more aggressive method, in which case we recommend you to have them sharpened professionally.
• Make sure that the cutting edge of the knife is not in contact with hard objects that make them blunt and thus they reduce their effectiveness.

TABLE OF APPLIANCE USE AND ATTACHMENTS

Please consider the following processing tips as examples and inspiration. They are not intended as complete instructions, they just show possible variants of food processing. Choose the volume of the processed food so that the maximum volume of containers indicated by their gauge marks will not be exceeded. Larger volumes must be divided into several batches, and the container level must be continuously checked.

We recommend occasional interrupting of operation, switching off the appliance and removing any food stuck on or blocking the grinding discs, formers or walls of containers, lid or attachments.
