Clearing a blocking – reverse operation
CAUTION: Do not operate the motor in reverse direction for more than a few seconds.
Reverse 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 ope-
ration, 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.
2. Press and hold down the REVERSE button. The reverse operation starts immediately. In
general, to release stuck food in the cutter housing, it is sufficient to operate the motor in
reverse direction for just a moment.
3. You can switch off the reverse operation of the motor any time by releasing the button.
If the motor gets stuck again or reverse operation does not work, switch off the appliance
completely (ON/OFF button), unplug and clean the appliance according to the instructions
in chapter ›Care and cleaning‹. However, if the problem persists, slow down working and
cut your foods to smaller pieces, before processing in the mincer.
Overheat protection
This appliance is equipped with an overheat protection that will automatically shut off the
appliance in case of overheating.
If your appliance suddenly stops running act upon the instructions ›Power switch / overheat
protection‹.
Slow down your work-speed and use smaller portions. Regularly, switch off the appliance in
between times for 15 minutes. Please contact you vendor or an authorized service centre, if
the overheat protection is activated too often, anyhow.
