7. Troubleshooting
If the drive is blocked by accumulated food:
• Press the OFF button to stop the meat grinder.
• Hold the REV button pressed down. The app-
liance will now run in the reverse direction. This
enables you to transport the food which has be-
come stuck a short way backwards, and the motor
to run freely again.
• When the drive runs smoothly again, release the
REV button.
• Press the ON button to re-start the meat grinder.
• If you do not succeed in getting the drive free
with this, clean the appliance as described in
chapter "8. Cleaning".
Should the motor suddenly stop, it could be due to
automatic activation of the internal overload device.
This is intended to protect the motor.
• Switch the appliance off and allow it cool down
for approximately 30 minutes before continuing
to use it.
• Should this time period not be sufficient, wait for
a further 15 minutes.
• If it still does not function at the end of this period,
this indicates a technical problem. In this case,
contact the Service Centre.
If the power cable is damaged or the accessories
are visibly damaged:
• Immediately switch the appliance off by pressing
the OFF button!
• If there is no risk to personal safety, unplug the
appliance.
• Arrange for the defective parts be repaired by
Customer Services before re-using the appliance.
8. Cleaning
Warning:
Pull out the plug from the socket, before cleaning
the appliance. In this way accidents caused by the
unexpected switching on of the machine and electric
shocks can be prevented.
a) Cleaning the motor block
• Clean the exterior surfaces and the power cable
with a slighly damp cloth. Dry the appliance
well before re-using it.
Warning:
Never immerse the motor block in water or any
other liquid! Should this occur, you are at risk of
a potentially fatal electric shock if permeating
moisture makes contact with the electrical wiring.
• Never use detergents, abrasive cleaners or sol-
vents. These could damage the appliance and
leave residues on the foodstuffs.
b) Cleaning the accessories
Note:
Do not clean the accessories in a dishwasher! This
could cause damage to them!
• Clean the accessories that could come in
contact with foodstuffs, ...
- by hand only, the accessories are not dish-
washer safe.
- with hot water and a household detergent
suitable for use with foods.
Caution:
The cross blade is very sharp! Risk of injury!
• Dry all parts thoroughly, before re-using the
appliance.
