6. Operation
Attention: In the case of foods, which
need to be processed at high speeds,
the appliance should not be run for
longer than 10 seconds (!) at a
stretch. Let there be a break of 30
seconds before switching it on again,
to prevent the motor from overheating.
One can tell that the machine is being
overused when the sound of the motor
changes and slows down.
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 run-
ning.
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 appliance in all
emergency situations! Otherwise
one runs the risk of serious injury or
loss of life!
•
Place the food, which is to be
processed in the feeding tray
and
place a vessel to collect the
processed food in front under the
opening.
6. Operation
•First press the OFF button, to
ensure that the appliance is off.
Then plug in...
and set it to ON , to switch it on.
•Now push in the food with the
round or square stodger in
the feeding tube - never with one’s
fingers, forks, spoons or similar
objects. This could lead to injury
and also damage the appliance.
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 main-
tain 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
grinder 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 min-
utes before processing it further.
•Put the sausage skin (natural or
artificial sausage skin) on the
sausage stuffer attachment10 and
knot up the other end. For 1 kg of
the filling, you will need approxi-
mately 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 longitudi-
nal 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 instruc-
tions about the topic “Sausage“,
you can use the machine as
described under 6 a).
d) Grating and cutting
After you have placed the food to be
grated into the feeding tray:
•Push them with the square stodger
into the feeding tube .
•If some food is stuck on the grating
attachments: Switch off the
device before removing the
attachments or reaching in to
clean them. Otherwise there is the
risk of getting injured.
•After you have read all the instruc-
tions about the topic “Grating and
cutting“, you can use the machine
as described under 6 a).
e) Using the kubbe attachment
With the kubbe attachment foodstuffs
can be processed to form hollow rolls
of meat or vegetables, which can then
be stuffed as desired.
•Put the meat through the meat
grinder twice before pressing it
through the kubbe attachment.
•After you have read all the instruc-
tions about the topic “Kubbe
attachment“, you can use the
machine as described under 6 a).
f) Making shortbread cookies
After you have made the shortbread
dough according to your recipe, and
after having fixed the shortbread cookie
attachment:
•Line a small baking tray with
greaseproof paper and place or
hold it directly under the opening in
the front of the appliance.

GB

•Press dough evenly into the feed-
ing tube – the transport screw
pushes it through the design on the
pattern strip of 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).
Warning:
Never open the casing of the
motor block– There are no operat-
ing parts to be found there. If the
casing is opened there exists the
possibility of a life-threatening
electric shock.
7. Troubleshooting
If the smooth running of the appliance
is hampered by excessive or stuck
food:
•Keep the REV key pressed. The
machine will now run in the reverse
direction. This will enable you to
dislodge the food, which has got
stuck, and the machine will once
again run smoothly.
•If you do not succeed by doing so,
clean the machine as described
under 8.
If the motor stops suddenly, it could
be due to the internal overload warn-
ing 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 15 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
technical problem. In this case,
contact the service centre.
If themains cable is damaged or or
the accessories are visibly damaged:
•Switch off the device by pressing
the OFF button!
•if this is not safely possible unplug
the appliance.
•Get the parts be repaired by cus-
tomer 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 mois-
ture, which has crept in, touches
the electrical wiring.

GB

•Never use any cleansers, abrasive
substances or solvents. These
could damage the device.
b) Cleaning accessories
•Wash all the 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 food-
stuff surfaces
•Caution: The cross blade and the
shredder attachments are very
sharp!
•Dry all parts thoroughly, before
reusing the appliance.
9. Storage
•Wind the mains cable under the
bottom part of the appliance. In
this way, it is protected from dam-
age.
•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 pro-
tect them from corrosion.
•Keep the machine away from chil-
dren and elderly people. They may
not always be able to assess
potential dangers of the heating
elements of such devices.
