Loosing Blocked Food – Reverse Operation
CAUTION: Do not operate the motor in reverse direction for more than a few seconds. Re-
verse operation moves the foods to the motor housing. Thus, foods and juices could run into
the gear hole of the motor housing.
If the blockage of the worm shaft is not cleared away after a short moment of reverse opera-
tion, switch OFF the appliance via the ON/OFF button and power switch, then unplug and
clean the appliance according to the instructions in chapter Care and Cleaning.
Reverse operation is only intended for loosening blocked foods in the worm shaft by moving
the worm shaft in opposite direction for a short moment.
To activate reverse operation:
1. First switch OFF the motor via the ON/OFF button.
Reverse operation is only available with the motor switched OFF and the power switch ON
(both indicators illuminated white).
2. Press the REVERSE button.
To avoid problems derived from pressing the wrong button during operation, after pressing
the REVERSE button, this button flashes in blue, and the reverse operation starts with a time
delay of 4 seconds.
Additionally, reverse operation is switched OFF automatically after 5 seconds of operation.
However, to release stuck food in the cutter housing, it is sufficient in general, to operate the
motor in reverse direction for just a moment.
3. You can switch OFF the reverse operation of the motor any time. Press the ON/OFF button
to switch OFF reverse operation. Thereafter, the indicators are illuminated in white again.
If the motor gets stuck again or reverse operation does not work, switch OFF the appliance
