Safety and Operating Instructions

Gastroback recommends safety first

We at Gastroback are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products
with the safety of you, our valued customer foremost in mind. In addition, we ask that you exercise
a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions.
Carefully read all instructions before operating and save for future reference.

The mincer is used for mincing meat (uncooked or cooked) and soft vegetables. Please prepare
the ingredients before filling them into the feed funnel. Using the feedstick you press the food
slowly into the worm which pushes it against the spinning crossed-blades knife.

The knife and the worm are driven by a 800 watt motor. The finished mince discharges
through the mincer plate. The appliance has an overload protection which prevents the motor
form overheating.

The appliance is maintenance-free, very insusceptible and easy to use. All parts that come
into direct contact with the food are easily to remove and easy to clean. No extra tools are
necessary for assembling or disassembling the appliance.
