If the worm housing is blocked no mince comes out of the mincer while operating or the motor stops
moving automatically because of the overload protection.
ATTenTIOn: If a blocking occurs turn off the appliance immediately. Clear the problem 
before turning on the motor again.

Turn the appliance off and take the pusher out of the feed chute.

If the motor stopped running because of overloading, turn the appliance off and wait few
minutes to allow the motor to cool down.
3. 
Turn the control switch to reverse and let the motor run in reverse mode for a few seconds.
The worm will turn backwards and loosen the blockage. The appliance will only run in reverse
mode as long as you hold on to the control switch.

appliance and pull the plug. Disassemble and clean the appliance.
