6 7
- Place a wide, shallow tray or dish underneath the mincing tube to collect the minced food.
- Turn the appliance on. The mincer must ALWAYS be working before inserting food.
NOTE: If the motor loses speed or stops, it may be due to stuck food. In this case, immediately stop the mincer. Press
the reverse switch to push the food in the opposite direction. Release the reverse switch and start the mincer again. If
it is still stuck, stop the mincer, unplug it, disassemble the head and clean the inside parts.
TIPS FOR THE MESH PLATE
The recommended uses for each of the mesh plates are the following. Experiment to find the plate that best matches
your taste or recipes.
COARSE MESH PLATE for mincing meat used with chilli or vegetables.
MEDIUM MESH PLATE for mincing meat used with soups or seasoning.
FINE MESH PLATE for sauces, pâtés, baby food, hamburgers.
AFTER USING
- Mincing pieces of dry bread will help remove any food remaining in the mincer after use.
- Stop the appliance and unplug from the mains socket.
- Disassemble and clean all the parts each time after use.
CLEANING
- Always unplug the appliance from the mains socket when it is not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts,
or before cleaning.
- Never immerse the motor unit in water or other liquids.
- Wash all the parts, except the motor unit, in hot soapy water, taking care when handling the sharp blades.
- Rinse these parts with hot, clear water and dry. Do NOT wash these parts in the dishwasher.
- Clean the motor unit with a damp cloth. Do not use rough or abrasive cleaning products.
- The blades and mesh plates must be smeared with cooking oil after washing in order to keep them lubricated and
rust-free.
HANDY TIPS:
- Cut the food into strips or dices that are slightly smaller than the opening of the feeding tube.
- Make sure that the food contains no bones, gristle, nutshells, etc. before mincing.
- Raw meat or fish must be cold (not frozen) before mincing in order to reduce losses of juice.
- Freshly minced meat should be kept in the refrigerator and cooked within 24 hours.
- When mincing for long periods, fat may accumulate inside the mincing tube, reducing mincing efficiency and
overloading the motor. If this happens, stop the mincer, wash the parts in hot water and reassemble. Whenever
possible, mince pieces of dry bread in between meat mincings. This helps keep the feeding screw clean.
