FL-E-200 2 -Rev007-UM-en
Device identification
All device identification details are indicated on the nameplate that is located either on the side or on
the back of the meat mincer:
Type Device model
No. Serial number
V Power supply
kW Motor power
Hz. Electrical frequency in Hertz
% ED Time-based duty cycle.
Please keep this data handy when you contact your service partner or the manufacturer in writing or
by telephone. Be sure to indicate the date of purchase and the dealer from whom the device was
purchased and give details of any faults that may have occurred.
Installation
Before connecting to the ower su ly, make sure that the local ower su ly and
current frequency com ly with the data indicated on the machine name late.
The machine must not be connected in the event of non-
com liance, otherwise this
may cause damage to the machine and fire!
Place the meat mincer on a flat, smooth, vibration-free and non-slippery surface that is stable and
firm enough to ensure adequate safety, taking into account the net weight of the machine.
There must be sufficient space around the meat mincer to ensure fault-free operation, cleaning and
maintenance of the machine. This clearance should be at least 300 mm.
Proper operation of the machine is guaranteed at a relative humidity not exceeding 80% and with
heat sources in the immediate vicinity with a temperature not exceeding 30° C.
In order to prevent the escape of oil during transport, the oil fill plug should be sealed with an adhesive
tape.
Remove the adhesive tape before operating the device.
Before turning on the meat mincer, check whether the cutting set is locked by means of the locking
lever, handle or knob.
The union nut must exert a slight pressure on the perforated disc, and the perforated disc must exert
a slight pressure on the blade.
The union nut must NEVER be tightened firmly: this could cause a ra id wear of the
blade and the erforated disc.
The meat mincer must NEVER be o erated at idle, i.e. without meat in the device!
This leads to overheating of the erforated disc and the blade and thus romotes
wear and can cause breakage of these arts. The user assumes all liability for
damage caused by im ro er use.

7 FL-E-200 2 -Rev007-UM-en
Electrical connection
Before carrying out the connection, be sure to check whether the power grid ratings comply with the
ratings indicated on the machine nameplate.
Insert the plug into the socket and check whether the existing mains supply is equipped with a suitable
circuit breaker.

Using the device
1. Place the meat collecting tray (or similar tray) under the cutting set to collect the mince.
2. Start the meat mincer.
3. Put the meat to be processed into the filling funnel and use the pusher to slightly press the
meat in the worm.
NEVER use your hands or other aids to ress the meat in the worm!
It is recommended to feed the meat gradually into the filling funnel at a constant speed so that not to
overload the meat mincer.
After processing, the meat mincer will eject the mince.
The size of the processed meat (granulation) is determined by the hole diameter of the perforated
disc: the smaller the holes, the finer the mince granulation.
Do not install and/or use erforated discs with a hole diameter exceeding 7,
8 mm for
meat mincers of the FL-E series.

9 FL-E-200 2 -Rev007-UM-en
Assembling and disassembling the cutting set
Un lug the ower cord from the mains outlet before assembling the cutting set.
Use utmost care when assembling and disassembling the blade. It can cause cuts on
the hands!
To assemble the cutting system, proceed as follows:
1. Insert the worm housing firmly into the housing and tighten it with the handle (lever or knob,
depending on the model).
2. Insert the worm into the worm housing. At the same time, check the fitting in the guide of the
worm housing.
3. For models FL-E-1200 + FL-E2200: Insert the pre-cutter into the worm with the flat side facing
outwards. Insert the pre-cutter only if the notch on the pre-cutter matches the guide on the
worm housing.
4. Insert the cross blade in the worm with the hub facing outwards / with the cutting edge facing
the pre-cutter.
5. Install the perforated disc. Insert the perforated disc only if the notch on the perforated disc
matches the guide on the worm housing.
. Put on the union nut and tighten. The union nut must exert a slight pressure on the perforated
disc, and the perforated disc must exert a slight pressure on the blade. The union nut must
NEVER be firmly tightened, as this can cause rapid wear of the blade and the perforated disc.
7. Insert the filler neck into the filling tray.
To disassemble the cutting system, proceed in reverse order.
Changing the cutting set
A versatile use is ensured by the fact that you can use perforated discs with different hole diameters
depending on the desired granulation.
In any case, the union nut is the last part to put on.
It is im ortant to ensure that the order of assembly of the cutting set be followed as
described above.

FL-E-200 2 -Rev007-UM-en 10
O erating time
Depending on the model, the machines are suitable for approx. 0 catering persons (FL-E-800),
approx. 100 catering persons (FL-E-1200) or even above (FL-E-2200). These values are merely
recommendations that are based on empirical values and can differ depending on the application.
The maximum switch-on duration is 40% (based on 1 hour = 24 minutes). Thereafter, a corresponding
cooling time for the motor must be taken into account. At shorter switch-on times, the cooling intervals
are also correspondingly shorter.
If you use a very tough material, the intervals should correspondingly be kept shorter.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The meat mincer must always be clean for hygienic reasons. Machines must be thoroughly cleaned
after each use and before each new meat processing.
Before cleaning, unplug the power cord from the mains outlet to disconnect the machine from the
power grid. Pressing the stop button on the machine should by no means be regarded as sufficient
for this purpose.
To clean the housing, only use a cloth dampened with warm water (approx. 0°C) and a non-foaming,
environmentally friendly dishwashing detergent with a neutral pH value of 7-8. For cleaning and
disinfecting, only products or additives may be selected that are food-compatible and approved for
this purpose. Be sure to observe the instructions for use of the cleaning agents! After such treatment,
wipe off with clear water and dry thoroughly.
To thoroughly clean the meat mincer, remove the cutting set from the housing to wash the
components separately. To avoid damage, do not place the individual components on top of each
other. To disinfect the device, put the disassembled cutting set parts in a water solution containing
3% sodium chloride for about 30 minutes, then rinse off with warm water and dry.
The meat mincer, including the worm housing and the worm shaft, must by no means
be cleaned in the dishwasher!
The meat mincer must not be cleaned with s ray water!
The device must not be cleaned by means of com lete or even artial submersion in
water!
Under no circumstances can the machine or its arts be treated with a water jet or high
-
ressure cleaner.
Unplug the power cord from the mains outlet before cleaning and/or performing any maintenance
work on the device.
The disassembly and assembly of the device or its components must be carried out on an impeccable
work surface once all slipping, catching or entanglement hazards have been eliminated. The
installation site must be kept free of any other loose materials.
