Important Safeguards

Carefully read all instructions before operating this appliance, and save for further reference.
Do not attempt to use this appliance for any other than the intended use, described in these
instructions. Any other use, especially misuse, can cause severe injuries or damage by elec­tric shock, moving parts, heat or fire.

Any operation, repair and technical maintenance of the appliance or any part of it other
than described in these instructions may only be performed at an authorised service centre.
Please contact your vendor.

• This appliance is for household use only, and NOT intended for use in moving vehicles. Do
not operate or store the appliance in humid or wet areas or outdoors. Any use of accesso­ries, attachments or spare parts not recommended by the manufacturer may result in damage
and/or injuries to persons.

• Check the entire appliance regularly for proper operation—especially the power cord. Do
not operate the appliance, when the appliance or any part of it is likely to be damaged, to
avoid risk of fire, electric shock or any other damage and/or injuries to persons. The appli­ance is likely to be damaged if the appliance has been subject to inadmissible strain (e.g.
overheating, mechanical or electric shock), or if there are any cracks, excessively frayed or
melted parts, or distortions, or if the appliance is not working properly. In this case, immedi­ately unplug the appliance and return the entire appliance (including all parts and accesso­ries) to an authorised service centre for examination and repair.

side and 50 cm in front and above to furniture, walls, boards, curtains, and any delicate ob­jects. Before operation, always ensure that the appliance is assembled properly and comple­tely. Solely use the appliance for processing edible food. Immediately unplug the appliance,
if there is any kind of malfunction or problem (e.g. the motor gets stuck, overheating).

• Operate the appliance on a well accessible, stable, level, dry, water-resistant and suitable
large table or counter. Always keep the appliance and the table or counter clean and dry,
and wipe off spilled liquids immediately. Do not place any clothes or tissue or other objects
under or on the appliance during operation, to avoid risk of fire, electric shock and over­heating. Do not place the appliance over a power cord, or near the edge of the table or
counter, or on wet or inclined surfaces, or where it can fall.

• This appliance is NOT intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance or any parts of the appliance or the packaging. Always keep the appliance
where it is dry and clean and where young children cannot reach it. Do not leave the appli­ance unattended, when it is in reach of young children or when the appliance is connected
to the power supply. Do not place any hard and/or heavy objects on the appliance or any
part of it. Take care that no one will pull the appliance by the power cord.

• Do not use any hard, sharp or edged objects (e.g. knives, forks) with the appliance. Only
use the provided pusher for feeding food into the feed tube. Do not handle the appliance or
any part of it with violence. Do not let the motor work continuously for more than 3 minutes.
Always use only one matching sets of tools to avoid damage. (See: Knowing Your Design

oven). Do not use any parts or tools of the appliance with any other device.

• Do not grasp in the gear hole of the motor housing, with the appliance connected to the
power supply. If you have forgotten to switch OFF the appliance, before dis-

connecting from the power supply, wait at least 10 seconds, before inserting
the plug into the power socket again.

• Do not leave the appliance unattended during operation. Always switch OFF (ON/OFF
button and power switch) at first, then unplug the appliance, and wait until the motor comes
to a standstill, before moving, or cleaning, or assembling or disassembling any parts, or
when the appliance is not in use. Always grasp the motor housing at both sides near the bot­tom for moving or lifting. Do not hold the appliance at the tray or cutter housing, for moving
the appliance.

• Do not use any abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads (e.g. metal scouring pads), or any corro­sive chemicals (e.g. bleach) for cleaning. Do not immerse the motor housing or power cord
in water or any other liquid. Do not spill or drip any liquids on the motor housing, or on the
power cord to avoid risk of fire and electric shock. Do not pour any liquids in the feed tube
with the cutter housing connected to the motor housing! When liquids are spilled in the motor
housing, immediately unplug the appliance, switch OFF the appliance completely (ON/OFF
button and power switch), and wait for the appliance to cool down. Thereafter, clean and
dry the appliance thoroughly. (See: Care and Cleaning)

• Do not place the appliance or any of its parts or tools in an automatic
dishwasher.

• Do not leave any food dry on the appliance. Always clean the appliance after each use to
prevent a build up of baked-on foods (see: Care and Cleaning). Always keep the appliance
and the tools clean.

Important Safeguards for Electrical Appliances

The appliance is driven electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power socket
to connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with protective conduc­tor (earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power
supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (230 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated
for at least 8 A).
The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum rated
residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly recommen­ded. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.

In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are subject to incompatible
norms. Therefore it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries do not meat the requi­rements for safe operation of the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad,
ensure that safe operation is possible.

• Do not to use any extension cords or multi socket outlets.

• Always handle the power cord with care. Always completely unwind the power cord
before use. Do not place the appliance on the power cord. The power cord may never be
knotted, twisted, pulled, strained or squeezed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over

29

the edge of the table or counter. The power cord may not touch hot surfaces. Ensure that no
one will pull the appliance by the power cord. Take care not to entangle in the power cord.
Always grasp the plug to disconnect the power cord. Do not touch the power plug with wet
hands when the appliance is connected to the power supply.

• Do not place or immerse the motor housing or the power cord in water or any other liquid.
Do not spill or drip any liquids on the power cord or exterior of the motor housing. When
liquids are spilled on the motor housing or power cord, immediately unplug and switch OFF
(ON/OFF button and power switch) the appliance.

Moving Parts – Risks of Injuries

The mincer is suited for finely chopping food. Thus, moving parts of the appliance can cause
severe injuries, when used contrary to these instructions.

• Do not insert your hands, hair, clothes, brushes, or other foreign objects (e.g. bones,
stalks of vegetables, cooking utensils) in the feed tube of the appliance or in the outlet of the
cutter housing, when the appliance is connected to the power supply. Before connecting the
appliance to the power supply, always ensure that there are no foreign objects in the feed
tube or cutter housing, and the appliance is assembled completely and correctly. Only use
the provided pusher to push down the ingredients. Do not push with violence, to avoid that
the mincer gets blocked.

• The edges of the cutter blade are very sharp. Ensure not to get injured when handling the
cutter blade.

• Do not hold your face over the feed tube, while the motor is agitating, because splinters
could escape from the feed tube, if you failed to see small pieces of bones or other hard
parts (e.g. stalks, hard seeds, stones) while preparing the foods. DO NOT push the foods
with your hands down in the feed tube, or poke in the feed tube!

Properties of Your Design Mincer Pro M

CAUTION: Do not operate the appliance continuously for more than 3 minutes. If you wish

to process larger amounts of food, always make brakes in between times, switching the
appliance OFF to avoid overheating.

The appliance is NOT suited for grinding very hard, very fibrous, or watery foods. Cook
hard vegetables (e.g. carrots) and leave to drain, and/or cut to small pieces, before proces­sing with the mincer.
Do not process extremely watery foods (e.g. some fruits). Otherwise, juice could run into the
gear hole of the motor housing and cause damage to the motor.

Power Switch

The appliance is equipped with a separate power switch for switching OFF the appliance
completely (see: Knowing your Design Mincer).
With the power switch ON and the appliance connected to the power supply, the indicators
of the operating buttons on top of the motor housing (ON/OFF and REVERSE) illuminate
white. Always switch OFF the appliance at the power switch, when it is not in use for several
minutes.

The Buttons ON/OFF and REVERSE

Using the operating buttons ON/OFF and REVERSE you switch the motor on and off. The

arrows on the buttons indicate the direction of movement of the food within the
cutter housing.

• For processing your food, generally use the normal forward operation, cont­rolled via the ON/OFF button.
The indicator of this button illuminates white, when the appliance is connected
to the power supply and switched on via the power switch. After pressing the
ON/OFF button, the indicator of this button illuminates blue, and the motor
starts working immediately. The worm shaft moves the foods to the outlet of the
