Installing and setting up the meat mincer
Check the scope of delivery for completeness immediately after receipt of the machine. Carefully
remove the machine and accessories from the packaging and remove all packaging materials.
The scope of delivery includes:
Inspecting the contents of the box
1 FL series meat mincer: incl. 1 worm housing
incl. 1 worm
5-piece coded UNGER cutting set: 1 pre-cutter
2 cross blades
1 perforated disc, 3 mm hole diameter
1 perforated disc, 8 mm hole diameter
1 hand wheel
1 filling tray
1 collecting tray
1 darner
1 spacer ring
1 withdrawing hook
1 operating manual
Installing the meat mincer
The meat mincer is delivered in a stable packaging box that is strong enough for transport.
Take the meat mincer out of the packaging. Due to its weight, this should be done by two adult
persons.
Place the machine on a working surface that provides sufficient strength and stability to ensure
adequate safety, taking into account the machine's own weight.
Depending on the size of the operator, the machine should not be too high to allow comfortable and
effortless operation!
The machine is most conveniently positioned when the switch points towards the operator and the
outlet opens to the left.
Start-Up
First of all, it is absolutely necessary to place the filling tray (38) on the
housing, since the meat mincer cannot be operated without it.
Then, the seat of the hand wheel (33) must be checked.
For safe operation of the cutting set, the hand wheel is first tightened
slightly and then released by approx. 5°.
Insert the plug into a suitable three-phase socket and the machine is
then ready for use.

Operating the meat mincer
Power On and Off
Symbol Bezeichnung Funktion
Arrow-Up-
Button
„Forward“
Press this button to start operation of the worm.
The worm now starts to turn counter-clockwise.
OFF-Button Press this button to stop the worm.
Arrow-Down-
Pushbutton
„Reverse“
To Reverse the worm (in case of a jam in the worm
section) press this pushbutton.
The worm must turn counterclockwise when switched on (Arrow-Up-Button
pressed)!
In case a reverse run of the worm is occurred (due to the different layout of
the local power grids) 2 of the 3 power phases in the plug must then be
swapped by a specialist!
Operating the meat mincer
Feeding must always be carried out with the filling tray installed. The supplied darner must be used
for pressing. In case of a jam in the worm section or if a foreign object enters the filling shaft, this
situation can be corrected by pressing the Arrow-Down-Pushbutton (reverse).
Never reach into the filling shaft with your hands or insert other objects such
as sticks, cooking utensils, etc. into the filling shaft! There is a risk of injury!
Never run the mincer without material being cut!

Dis- and Reassembling the cutting set
Disassembling the cutting set
The filling tray can be removed upwards without tools.
The hand wheel can be unscrewed by turning it to the left.
A withdrawing hook is included for easier removal of the
cutting set and worm.
After removing the hand wheel, this can be pulled over the
worm pin and locked by a 90° rotation. The worm and the
cutting set can then be slowly pulled out from the worm
cylinder.
The spacer ring, perforated disc, cross-shaped blade and
pre-cutter can then be removed.

FL-200128-Rev007-UM-en 8
Now, the worm housing (28) is removed by simply pulling it
out. After turning the locking lever (7) above the switch
from bottom to top (clockwise), it can be removed forwards
(without tilting sideways).
Reassembling the cutting set
Reassembly is done in reverse order.
First insert the worm housing (28). The
worm housing is fixed by turning the locking
lever (7) from top to bottom.
The worm (34) is inserted in such a way
that the stub shaft protrudes from the
machine to attach the knife and perforated
disc. Pushing it all the way back, the worm
shaft is rotated until it latches with its oval
pin at the rear end into the uniform slot of
the drive.
The perforated disc (39) is now pushed onto the stub shaft with the 3 large oval openings (pre-
cutter) and rotated so that the rectangular notch on the edge of the disc slides over the uniformly
shaped ridge of the worm housing (this also applies to the subsequent discs).
This is followed by the cross blade (40). Care has to be taken that the cutting edges point in the
forward direction of rotation.
Then, place the perforated disc (41) on the stub shaft.
This is followed by the second cross knife (40). Make sure that it is in the correct position again
(cutting edges point in the direction of rotation).
Then the second perforated disc (42) is added.
Then, place the spacer ring (6) in this way, that the nose of the spacer ring engages the notch of
the perforated disc (42) provided for this purpose.
The hand wheel (33) forms the end, which is first slightly tightened and then released by approx.
5°. (The latter is particularly important because the worm shaft must have some clearance in the
longitudinal direction for proper functioning of the mincer).

Changing the cutting set
Individual perforated discs enable versatile use, depending on the desired cutting effect. In any
case, the enclosed coded spacer ring (6) must be used and attached as the last part in front of the
hand wheel (33).
Care has to be taken that the sequence of assembly of the cutting set takes place in accordance
with the exploded view.
Only coded perforated discs may be used, where the hole diameter must not
exceed 8 mm!
The perforated discs must not be ground thinner than 5 mm!
Cleaning, maintenance and servicing, disposal
In principle, the machine must be switched off before cleaning, maintenance
and service and the power plug must be disconnected from the mains.
Disassembling the meat mincer for cleaning
The hand wheel can be unscrewed by turning it to the left. Thereafter, the distance ring and the first
perforated disc is removed. By pulling on the worm shaft, the worm can now be removed completely
with the cutting set.
If only the cross blade is removed, special care is required. There is a risk of
injury (cutting injury).
Now remove the worm housing. After unlocking, the worm housing can be pulled out of the housing.
Cleaning
Before first use, thoroughly clean the machine with a damp cloth and lukewarm water.
Depending on the load and frequency of use, the machine must be cleaned regularly – at least after
each daily work sequence.
All parts and cavities that come into contact with meat, where deposits can form, must be cleaned.
Use a damp cloth (preferably a brush for some parts) and approx. 60° warm water for cleaning. For
cleaning and disinfecting, choose only products or accessories that are food-grade and approved for
this purpose. Follow the instructions for using these materials.
It is strictly prohibited to clean the slicing machine with products that can damage the health of the
operator or the customer.
After removing the meat residues, all components must be cleaned with water and disinfectants.
Rinse with warm water and rub the components up to drying.
Make sure that the parts do not hit one another to avoid damage.
For better and more effective disinfection, it is recommended to place the parts in a bath containing
3% NaCl hypotonic solution for about 30 minutes, then rinse with warm water and rub dry.
After such treatment, rinse with clean drinking water. Before assembling, ensure that all residues from
the drive mechanism, including the housing wall, have been wiped out and that all parts have been
completely rubbed dry.
All removable parts must also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
However, regular cleaning of the knives in the dishwasher can cause them to dull faster and thus
require more frequent sharpening.
