Gastroback 41401 Mincer - Manual (Page 4)

2. Loosen the screw plug on the left side of the mincer turning it
anticlockwise. Firmly secure the mincer head in the opening for
the drive shaft. The opening of the mincer head should be
upright.
Hold the mincer head with one hand and insert the screw plug
into the side hole of the motor block. Turn the screw clockwise
(see. fig. 1) for tightening. Do not use force and be careful to not
overwind the screw thread.
WARNING: The blades of the crossed-blade knife are very
sharp. Pay attention when you handle the crossed-blade knife.
3. Insert the worm with the longer, narrower end into the mincer
head and turn slightly until it is securely seated in the mincer head (see
fig. 2). The sealing ring and then the grommet should be placed
at the narrow end of the worm. Make sure that the worm is placed
completely in the inside of the mincer head. If necessary turn the worm
a little bit to make it fit.
WARNING: Never use the crossed-blade Knife and the mincer
plate together with the chopper attachment. How to work with the
chopper attachment is explained within the recipe.
4. Mount the knife on the worm in the illustrated manner: The
rounded side of the knife must face the worm, the smooth side is in
contact with the mincer plate (see fig. 3). Meat will not be minced
if the knife is mounted the wrong way round.
IMPORTANT: If the tools overlap the edges of the mincer head
the worm is not placed all the way inside of the mincer head. Turn
the worm a little bit to make it fit inside but do not use force.
5. Mount the mincer plate on the knife. The two arresting pins
must lock precisely into the corresponding recesses (see fig. 4).
6. Firmly screw on the closing ring. Do not over-tighten (see fig. 5).
WARNING: Do not use any tools, for tightening the screw and pay
attention not to cant the screw. If the screw cants the screw thread
gets damaged. If the screw does not turn easily put some sunflower oil
(or other edible oil) on the screw.
7. Press the feed pan firmly onto the mincer.
8. Place the mincer on a firm base.
The mincer is now ready for operation.

use the crossed-blade knife and mincer plate 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 mincer head or the closing ring loosen while operating turn OFF the
appliance immediately and pull the plug. Operate according to the instructions ´Trouble
shooting` 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 can not 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 ´Trouble shooting`.
• 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 units 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 workshop 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!
