• Never clean or operate the appliance or units of the appliance with abrasive or hard sharp-edged items. Never put the appliance or parts of the appliance in the dishwasher for cleaning! • Do not use the appliance if it is damaged or parts of the appliance are damaged. Do not use the appliance if it does not function properly or if it was excessively loaded. The appliance is likely damaged if the appliance or parts of the appliance show cracks, exorbitant wearing down, alterations or leaks. It is also likely damaged if the drive wheel of the motor block moves slowly. Take the appliance for technical maintenance and repair to an authorised service centre. • Never use force assembling or disassembling the appliance. The single parts should be easily put together. Only operate the mincer after it has been carefully assembled. Never use the crossed-blade knife and grinding disc in combination with the chopper attachments. Only use either the crossed-blade knife with the mince plate or the chopper attachments at once. • For the case that the worm housing or the closing ring loosen while operating turn off the appliance immediately and pull the plug. Operate according to the instructions ›Troubleshooting‹ before turning the appliance on again. • Always turn the appliance off, wait for the motor to stop moving and then pull the plug before disassembling the mincer. • Never push the food into the feeding funnel with your fingers. Always use the feedstick for this purpose! The mincer cannot mince hard or stingily ingredients (for example: bones, nuts, ginger). If you use hard ingredients like onions or carrots, you have to steam them before adding them to the meet otherwise they can block the motor. If the motor is blocked turn off the appliance immediately and operate according to the instructions ›Troubleshooting‹. • Before the mincer is used for the first time, all parts - with the exception of the motor block - must be thoroughly cleaned in warm soapy water. • To ensure that the mincer does not seize, never operate it under excessive pressure. • Instantly switch off the mincer if the worm or knife get blocked by a hard object and wait for approx. 6 seconds to be certain that the motor is no longer running. Switch on the mincer after it has been cleaned. • Never use force operating the appliance to avoid damage of the parts of the appliance. • Never hold your face or other body parts over the feed funnel when the motor is running because little pieces of food could be thrown out of the feed funnel. • Take care handling the crossed-blade knife because it is very sharp. • Never put foreign substance or hard objects into the feed funnel. • Never repair the mincer yourself. If you discover or suspect a fault, send the mincer immediately to your local service centre for competent examination and repair. • Store and use the appliance in a clean, frost free environment where it is protected from dampness, moistness and immoderate and extraordinary burden (such as: downfall, beat, overheating, moisture in the motor block) . • The mincer is intended for use in the household only! 22
