the food slowly into the worm which pushes it against the spinning crossed-blades knife.
The appliance is maintenance-free, very insusceptible and easy to use. All parts that come
into direct contact with the food are easily to remove and easy to clean. No extra tools are
necessary for assembling or disassembling the appliance.
• This appliance is for household use only, and NOT intended for use in moving vehicles.
