Tips for Best Results. Gastroback 40977

• Do not process any too hard pieces or fibres (e.g. bones, gristle, tendon, hard seeds, nuts, stalks, or hard shells). Remove any inedible parts, before mincing.

• Add onions, herbs and finely ground spices during the first processing run to achieve a better mixing result. Before processing, finely grind or crush hard spices (e.g. pepper, nutmeg, clove).

• Sauté onions until they are transparent, before mincing. This will increase the flavour and improve the digestibility. Cook hard ingredients (e.g. carrots, potatoes) until they are soft.

• Cut tough ingredients in sufficiently small pieces. Your ingredients must fit easily into the feed chute of the mincer (approx. 2 x 2 x 6 cm). Cut very tough ingredients to cubes of max. 1 cm.

• Select a speed of 9 -12, when using the mincer. Wait, until the machine reaches the selected speed, before inserting in your food.

• When processing large amounts, you should prepare your ingredients in portions, that can be processed in approx. 10 minutes. Switch off the machine after each portion and leave it rest for approx. 5 minutes for letting the motor cool down. This time duration can be used for preparing the next portion.

• When the motor slows down audibly and/or stalks, immediately switch off the machine. Remove any obstacles (see: ‘Using the Mincer / Removing Obstacles’).

Cut your food to smaller pieces before mincing.

• Do not force the food down into the feed chute violently. In general, the warm shaft moves the food within the mincer housing automatically. Only use the pusher for slightly moving the food down, when the food sticks within the feed chute.

• Start with the coarse or medium mincing disc. For getting a fine consistency (e.g. for some sausages), use the fine mincing disc in a second run.

BEFORE FIRST USE

WARNING – DO NOT let young children play with the machine, or any part of it, or the packaging!

Always grasp the machine with both hands at the base plate for moving it. Do not hold the machine at the power cord, mixing arm, or mixing bowl or at the mincer housing for moving the machine. Keep in mind that the machine is very heavy. Grasp the machine at the front and backside of the base plate, for moving the machine.

1. Unpack the machine and all accessories carefully and check that no parts are damaged or missing. Carefully remove all shipping materials and promotional

EN 90 materials, but DO NOT remove the warning icons or model label.

2. Before first use and after a longer period of storage, ensure to switch off the motor (press the control dial), unplug the machine, and clean the machine according to the instructions in chapter ‘Care and Cleaning’.

NOTE

When using the Design Stand Mixer Advanced Digital for the first time, you may notice a slight odour coming from the motor. This is normal and will dissipate with use.

PREPARATION

WARNING – Always ensure that the machine is out of reach of young children!

For operation, ensure that nobody will pull the machine by the power cord.

Always place the machine on a stable, and level surface, where it will not wobble, tilt or fall. During operation, be aware that the machine could move around on the table or counter due to vibrations. Always keep the machine in sufficient distance (at least

50 cm) to the edge of the working space and to any other objects during operation.

For avoiding stubborn stains by the suction cups at the base plate, do not place the machine on any sensitive surfaces (e.g. valuable furniture). Do not attempt to move the machine by dragging the machine over the work surface. This could damage the suction cups.

Do not operate the machine without the mixing bowl installed correctly. This holds for using the mincer as well. Place the splash guard on the mixing bowl, whenever possible, for avoiding splashes and clouds of dust escaping, and for protecting the mixing drive from unintended touch.

Do not hold your hands or any objects (e.g. cooking utensils or brushes) onto the assembled tools, while the machine is live. Do not use any tools with the machine that are not recommended by the manufacturer.

Always stop the motor (press the control dial) and unplug the machine before removing or inserting the mixing tools or unlocking the mixing arm via the unlock button.

Do not process hot food as steam and condensate could cause damage to the machine. When the machine became moist or wet, do not touch the machine with your hands, but unplug the machine immediately. Wipe off moisture immediately. The machine is intended for processing edible food. Do not fill in any other substances. The machine is NOT suited for processing highly alcoholic food or liquids! Risk of Explosion and Fire!
