Do not run the appliance for more than 15 minutes continuously. After 15 minutes of continuous use, allow the appliance to cool to room temperature before further usage. Once the task is over, switch the mincer 'OFF', switch off the electrical supply at the socket and remove the power from the socket before disassembling.
