5. Assembly
 Attention: All accessories are coated

you will find the step-by-step illustra-
tions for assembling the appliance.
• Place the transport screw in the
mincer casing .
Ensure that the metal washer as well
as the insulation ring remain attached
to the axle. Without the washer, the
screw would wear out too fast.

sharp side is facing the cutting disc .
 Warning: The blade is very sharp!
 Attention: The appliance will be
damaged if the cross blade is inser-
ted the wrong way around!

– You will find a selection of discs in
the small compartment on the top of
the appliance (Fig. D). Push the cover
upwards to open it and take out the
required disc.
• Insert both lugs of the chosen disc 
into the grooves in the mincer hou-
sing .

6. Operation
 Attention: Do not use the appliance
in sustained operation for longer
than 15 minutes. To avoid overhea-
ting, allow the appliance to remain
switched off for about 30 minutes.
a) Operating the appliance
Once the appropriate attachments have
been fixed:
• Place the appliance in such a way that
it is absolutely stable and cannot fall
off the table or into water (due to
vibrations or if it gets caught in the
cable). The machine will inevitably
vibrate when it is running.
 Warning: Never touch a machine,
which is plugged in or is operational
when it happens to fall or land in
water – or in the case of other
emergencies! First unplug the appli-
ance in all emergency situations!
Otherwise one runs the risk of
serious injury or loss of life!
• Place the food, which is to be proces-
sed in the feeding tray and place a
vessel to collect the processed food in
front under the opening.
• First press the button, to ensure
that the appliance is off.
• Then plug in. Press the button, to
switch it on.
• Press foodstuffs into the grater funnel
exclusively with the square stodger 
– never with fingers, forks, spoon
handles or similar items. This could le-
ad to injury and also damage the ap-
pliance.
ON
OFF
 Attention: Do not ever press so hard
that the motor gets audibly slower.
This could put the machine under
pressure and damage it.
b) Processing meat
• Only use meat pieces, which are not
larger than 2 cm. Check that the meat
does not have any bones and is not
stringy.
 Caution: Mincemeat is prone to decay.
Therefore take care to maintain
good hygiene when processing meat.
• When you have read all the instruc-
tions on the topic ”Meat“, you can use
the appliance as described under 6.a).
c) Processing sausage meat
• Put the meat through the meat grin-
der twice before using it as sausage
stuffing.
• To make the sausage stuffing, add
some chopped onions, spices and
other ingredients to the mincemeat
as per your recipe, and knead the
mixture. Refrigerate this for 30
minutes before processing it further.
• Put the sausage skin (natural or artifi-
cial sausage skin) on the sausage stuf-
fer attachment and knot up the
other end. For 1 kg of the filling, you
will need approximately 1.60 m of
sausage skin.
Tip: Soak the natural sausage skin in
lukewarm water for about 3 hours
before using it and then wring out.
Natural sausage skin will thus get
more elastic.

• The sausage mixture will be pressed
into the sausage skin by the sausage
stuffer. When it is long enough switch
off the device and press together the
sausage at the end and turn it around
its longitudinal axis.
Tip: Sausage meat tends to expand
when cooked or frozen. Therefore it
is best not to overstuff the sausage
to prevent it from splitting.
• After you have read all the instructions
about the topic “Sausage“, you can use
the machine as described under 6 a).
d) Using the kubbe attachment
With the kubbe attachment food-
stuffs can be processed to form hollow
rolls of meat or vegetables, which can
then be stuffed as desired.
• Put the meat through the meat grin-
der twice before pressing it through
the kubbe attachment .
• After you have read all the instruc-
tions about the topic “Kubbe attach-
ment“, you can use the machine as
described under 6 a).
e) Making shortbread cookies
After you have made the shortbread
dough according to your recipe, and
after having fixed the shortbread
cookie attachment :
• After you have read all the instruc-
tions about the topic ”shortbread
cookie attachment“, you can use the
appliance as described under 6 a).
• Cover a small baking tray with baking
paper and place it under the outlet
opening at the front of the appliance.
• Press dough evenly into the feeding
tube – the transport screw pushes it
through the design on the pattern
strip of the shortbread cookie attach-
ment .
• When the pastry has attained the
desired length, stop the appliance
and break the dough off at the outlet
opening. Lay the pastry on the baking
tray.
 Warning: Never open the casing of
the motor block– There are no ope-
rating parts to be found there. If the
casing is opened there exists the pos-
sibility of a life-threatening electric
shock.
7. Troubleshooting
If the smooth running of the appliance
is blocked by accumulated food:
• Press the button to stop the
meat grinder.
• Keep the key pressed. The
drive motor will now run in the
reverse direction. This will enable
you to transport the food backwards
in an attempt to release the blockage.
• Release the button if the drive
motor runs freely again.
• Press the button to restart the
appliance.
• If you do not succeed in clearing the
appliance this way, clean the machine
as described under 8.
If the motor stops suddenly, it could be
due to the internal overload warning
device, which automatically turns off
the machine when overloaded. This is
supposed to protect the motor.

• Switch off the device and let it cool
down for approximately 30 minutes
before using it again.
• In case this does not work, wait for a
further 15 minutes.
• If it still does not function at the end
of this period, this indicates a techni-
cal problem. In this case, contact the
service centre.
If the mains cable is damaged or or the
accessories are visibly damaged:
• Switch off the device by pressing the
button!
• if this is not safely possible unplug
the appliance.
• Get the parts be repaired by customer
service, before reusing the appliance
again.
8. Cleaning
Pull out the plug from the socket,
before cleaning the appliance. In this
way accidents caused by the unexpected
switching on of the machine and
electric shocks can be prevented.
a) Cleaning the Motor block
• Clean the external surfaces and the
power cord with a slightly damp
cloth. Always dry the device well
before using it again.
Warning: Never immerse the motor
block in water or any other liquid!
Otherwise one could get a life
threatening electric shock, if moisture,
which has crept in, touches the
electrical wiring.
• Never use any cleansers, abrasive
substances or solvents. These could
damage the device.
OFF
- 9 - 
b) Cleaning accessories
• The cross blade, as well as the cutting
discs, are dishwasher proof. They can
be cleaned in the dishwasher.
• Wash all other accessories that can
come in contact with food:
- by hand only, the accessories are
not dishwasher safe.
- with hot water and a household
cleaning liquid suitable for use with
foodstuffs.
Caution: The cross blade is very
sharp!
• Dry all parts thoroughly before
reusing the appliance.
9. Storage
• Wind the mains cable under the bot-
tom part of the appliance. In this way,
it is protected from damage. (Fig. C)
• Store the discs in the small recess
(Fig. D) on top of the machine.
• Store the appliance in a dry place.
• After drying the metal attachments
rub them lightly with a little cooking
oil, if you are not going to use the
device immediately. This will protect
them from corrosion.
• Keep the machine away from children
and elderly people. They may not
always be able to assess potential
dangers of the heating elements of
such devices.
