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 run­ning.
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 main­tain good hygiene when processing meat.
• When you have read all the instruc­tions 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 min­utes 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 approxi­mately 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 longitudi­nal 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 instruc­tions 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 instruc­tions 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 instruc­tions 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.

•Press dough evenly into the feed­ing tube – the transport screw pushes it through the design on the pattern strip of the shortbread cookie attachment .
• After you have read all the instruc­tions 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 warn­ing 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 cus­tomer 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 mois­ture, which has crept in, touches the electrical wiring.
