Safety Notes Connued:
Avoid contact with moving parts. To prevent person injury and property damage, make sure that: Hands, Hair, Clothing and
Cooking Accessories do NOT come into contact with the rotang area of the appliance during use.
The mincer is intended exclusively for mincing meat, under NO circumstances for other purposes.
Only push food to be processed into the lling opening with the stuer. Under NO circumstances use ngers or other objects
such as cutlery. Failure to observe this informaon can cause accidents and injuries as well as damage to the device.
To avoid clogging the lling opening do not process excessively large quanes at once. The mincer is not suitable for pro-
cessing frozen meat. Defrost frozen meat before running through mincer.
Failure to observe these instrucons and the resulng damage to the equipment will void all warranty.
Instrucons for Three Phase Motor:
Before rst use, check the machine rotates in the direcon indicated by the arrow.
Before the machine is turned on, remove the Front Nut, Mincer Plate, Cross Blade and Worm Screw from the machine.
Aer checking the rotaonal direcon is correct, install the Worm Screw, Cross Blade, Mincer Plate and Front Nut to the ma-
chine, in that order.
Intended Use:
If you forget to turn o the unit before unplugging the power cord, wait at least 10 seconds before restoring power.
Never leave the unit unaended when the power plug is plugged in. Always unplug the power cord when leaving the unit. If
you are not going to be using the unit for some me, please remove individual components and clean for storage.
To lubricate the machine, prevent rust and prevent meat scking to the machine and accessories, apply a thin layer of cook-
ing oil to the Cross Blade, Mincing Plates, and Worm Screw before rst use and aer each subsequent use. Mistreatment, or
lack of lubricant can lead to excessive abrasion and wear of the meat-crushing parts.
Cleaning and Care instrucons:
The mincer MUST be thoroughly cleaned before rst use. Pay parcular aenon to cleaning the parts that come into direct
contact with food. Aer use, the mincer must be thoroughly cleaned to prevent the formaon of bacteria. We recommend
that the gears, gasket and cylinder interior are lightly moistened with cooking oil aer each cleaning.
Always disconnect the mains plug before cleaning.

Operaon and Maintenance:
1. Before use, check that the power supply corresponds to that required by the machine, and that the external earthing
wire is reliably connected.
2. Remove the head from the machine. Wash the dismounted parts with clean water, and then reassemble.
3. Before mincing, rst turn lock-handle counter clockwise, and ghten the front nut.

5. Feed the pieces into the mincing chamber with the stuer supplied.
6. Disassemble the head and wash it with clean water immediately aer use, so as to avoid contaminaon.

Re-adjust.
B. The discharge plate is blocked. Clean and remove any blockage.
