stop.
10b : : Installing the accessories assembled on the gear block
assembly
- Unplug the food processor. Position the assembled accessories (m), (n), (o), (p), (q)
(see instructions below on how to assemble) toward the gear block (l) with the feed tube tilted
toward the right.
- Push the assembled accessory all the way onto the motor block.

- Place the removable tray (m6) on the feed tube.
- Plug the appliance in.
10c : Assembling the mincer head (ma) or (mb)
- Take the body (m1) by the feed tube with the widest opening turned upward.
- Insert the screw (m2) (long axis first) into the body (m1).
- Fit the blade (m3) onto the short axis, the cutting sides facing outward.
- Place the desired screen (m4) on the blade (m3) aligning the locking pins and the notches.
- Screw the nut (m5) clockwise onto the body (m1), all the way but without locking it.
- Check the assembly. The axis should not leave any play or rotate around itself.
If this happens, dismantle and repeat the previous instructions.
- Place the assembled head on the gear block assembly (l).
USAGE AND PRACTICAL TIPS
- Prepare the entire quantity of food to be minced. Remove bones, cartilage and gristle.
- Cut the meat or vegetables into pieces (approximately 2 x 2 cm).
- Put them on the tray (m6).
- Place a container under the mincer head.
- Turn the speed selector (a2) to the 2 position to start.
- Insert the meat through the feed tube, piece by piece, using the pusher (m7).
- Never push with your fingers or any other utensil.
- Do not run your appliance for more than 15 minutes when mincing meat.
- Before mincing, make sure that your meat is thoroughly thawed.
CLEANING THE MINCER HEAD
- Before cleaning, always unplug your appliance.
- Unlock the mincer head (ma) or (mb), tilting it toward the right to remove the gear block
assembly (l).
- To remove the mincer head, take the tray (m6) off the feed tube, unscrew the nut (m5),
remove the screen (m4), the blade (m3) and the screw (m2).
- Handle the cutting implements with care as they are sharp.
- Wash all the parts in hot water and washing up liquid;; rinse and dry them thoroughly.
- The screen (m4) and the blade (m3) must be kept oiled. Coat them with cooking oil or they may
shown signs of rust.
- Never let any moisture get into the gear block assembly. Wipe it clean with a slightly damp
cloth.
- If you have a metal head, do not put the mincer head in the dishwasher, i.e. the body (m1),
screw (m2), blade (m3), screens (m4) and nut (m5).
A clever trick:
when finished,
you can run a few
small pieces of
bread to push
out the remai-
ning mince to
make cleaning
easier.
If you
have a
plastic head, do
not put the screw
(m2), blade (m3)
and screens (m4)
in the
dishwasher.
