REMOVING OBSTACLES

WARNING – Do not pour any type of liquid into the feed chute of the mincer, while the mincer is assembled to the mixing arm. Do not insert any foreign objects into the feed chute (e.g. cooking utensils). Do not remove the screw ring from the mincer housing with the mincer assembled to the mixing arm and the machine connected to the power supply.

CAUTION – Immediately switch off the motor (press the control dial), when the motor keeps running noticeably slowly or gets blocked. This may avoid overloading or overheating the motor and thus maintain long-lasting high performance of the motor.

When processing tough pieces of food (e.g. tendons or gristle within meat) or dough with pieces of nuts, fruit, or hard vegetables and similar ingredients, the mincer may be clogged. Large, hard pieces (e.g. bones) could block the worm shaft and/or cross blade. In the extreme case, the mincer could get damaged (see: ‘Tips for Best

Results / Using the Mincer’).

1. Press the control dial for switching off the motor and unplug the machine.

2. Remove the tablet of the mincer. Then, remove the mincer from the mixing arm and turn off the screw ring from the mincer housing (see: ‘After Usage / Removing and Disassembling the Mincer’).

3. With single hard pieces clogging the outlet of the mincer, it may be sufficient to pull out the mincing disc, clean the holes of the mincing disc, and remove the blockage from the cross blade. Check, whether the worm shaft can be turned freely within the mincer housing. With the worm shaft blocked (you cannot turn it manually after removing the screw ring), you must disassemble the mincer completely (see: ‘After Usage’). Possibly, you need to press the worm shaft and used tools out of the mincer by pressing on the hexagonal shaft of the worm shaft.

4. Remove the obstacle and check, if the parts of the mincer are undamaged.

Damaged parts must be replaced. Ensure that the openings of the used tools are free from obstacles.

5. Re-assemble the mincer according to the instructions for the individual tools (see above).

IMPORTANT - Ensure that the hexagonal shaft of the worm shaft and the coupling side of the mincer are completely clean and dry, before re-assembling the mincer to the mixing arm of the machine. Otherwise the mincer coupling of the mixing arm could be polluted or even get damaged.

6. If required, clean and dry the hexagonal shaft and the coupling side of the mincer.

EN 110

7. Re-assemble the mincer at the mixing arm of the machine (see above). Ensure that the motor of the machine is operating as usual, before processing further pieces of food.

NOTE

For further information refer to the chapter ‘Solving Problems’.

OPERATING TIME AND PAUSE FUNCTION

For your convenience, the machine offers an operating timer and pause function.

These features are described in this section.

ADJUSTING THE OPERATING TIME

You can set a pre-defined operating time. When starting motor operation, the set operating time is counted down to zero and the operating time still required for completing the mixing process is shown on the operating time display.

When switching on the machine, the operating time starts always with the default

(20 minutes, “20:00”).

When turning the control dial back to zero speed (“00”), the operating time is set to the default (20 minutes). If you wish to interrupt operation without resetting the timer, use the pause function (see below: ‘Using the Pause Function’).

You can cancel operation at any time you like by turning the control dial to zero or switching off the machine (pressing the control dial for approx. 2 seconds).

1. Press the up/down arrows at the left side of the operating time display for setting the operating time. You may operate the machine using any value between 30 seconds (“00:30”) and 20 minutes (“20:00”) in steps of 30 seconds.

NOTE

Hold the appropriate arrow pressed, for scrolling through the timer setting automatically.

2. After setting the operating time, turn the control dial clockwise for selecting the desired speed and starting operation. The timer starts immediately and the operating time is counted down. When the timer reaches zero (“00:00”), the motor is turned off automatically and zero flashes on the speed display (“00”). The operating time is reset to the default value (20 minutes).

3. If you wish to cancel operation and/or set the operating time back to the default value (“20:00”), simply turn the control dial back to zero (“00”) manually.

111 EN

NOTE

When the motor is in operation or the pause function is active, you cannot change the operating time. There will be no respond to the arrow keys. If you wish to select another operating time, you need to cancel operation first (see below:

‘Cancelling Operation’).

USING THE PAUSE FUNCTION

During operation, at any time you like, you can activate the pause function. This will turn off the motor and freeze the timer at the current point (see: ‘Properties of Your

New Stand Mixer / Pause Function’). Use this function for checking the mixing result or adding additional ingredients without changing the current timer setting.

WARNING – Do not touch any moving parts (e.g. mixing drive, mincer coupling, moved parts of the mincer), while the machine is connected to the power supply.

For pushing down your food in the mixing bowl, use a soft spatula.

For changing the mixing tool, always cancel operation completely (press the control dial for approx. 2 seconds) and unplug the machine. Thereafter move the mixing arm to the upper position (see: ‘After Usage’).

IMPORTANT - When turning the control dial to zero with the pause function activated, the remaining operating time is deleted and the default value (20 minutes) is shown again (see below: ‘Cancelling Operation’).

1. Shortly press the control dial for activating the pause function. Motor and timer stop immediately.

2. If you wish to add further ingredients, in most cases you can use the feed opening in the splash guard. Cut large ingredients to smaller pieces.

3. For re-assuming operation, shortly press the control dial again. Motor and timer continue running.

CANCELLING OPERATION

You may cancel operation at any time you like. This can be done in two ways:

• turning the control dial to zero or

• holding the control dial pressed for approx. 2 seconds until the signal sounds and only dashes are displayed (see: ‘After Usage’).

EN 112

NOTE

When moving the mixing arm to the upper position, the machine is switched off automatically. However, in any case you should switch off the motor and unplug the machine, before moving the mixing arm to the upper position.

NOTE

No matter, which way you choose for switching off the motor, the settings of the speed and timer will be lost and the machine goes back to the defaults: speed zero and operating time 20 minutes. If you wish to keep the set values, use the pause function for stopping the motor (see above).

AFTER USAGE

WARNING – While the machine is connected to the power supply, do not hold your hands or any objects (e.g. cooking utensils or brushes) into the mixing bowl or onto the moving parts (mixing drive, mixing tools, mincer coupling, worm shaft, cross blade). Always switch off (press the control dial until the beep sounds) and unplug the machine before touching moving parts of the machine or accessories and before unlocking the mixing arm via the unlock button, and before disassembling any accessories.

Lay the machine (without mixing tools and mixing bowl) carefully onto its left side . Use a SOFT, damp cloth for cleaning.

After removing any residues, wipe with clear water and thoroughly dry the suction cups via a soft cloth.

CLEANING THE TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES

IMPORTANT - Do not clean the mincing discs in the automatic dishwasher.

We recommend to clean the steel mincing discs regularly, even when they have not been used. This will avoid a rancid or resinous taste and smell. Always rub the mincing discs with some cooking oil after cleaning. If you wish to use an automatic dishwasher for cleaning, carefully observe the instructions given in the following section (‘Cleaning in the Automatic Dishwasher’).

123 EN

IMPORTANT - Proteins curdle in hot water and, therefore, stick to the surfaces even more stubbornly. Thus, after processing eggs or other protein-rich ingredients, you should rinse the parts with cold water first.

8. Soak stubborn or dried-on residues of food for approx. 10 minutes in lukewarm dishwater.

9. Clean the used accessories and, if required, all mincing discs in warm dishwater, using a soft cloth or soft brush. You may clean the holes in the mincing discs via a clean pipe cleaner.

10. Stubborn residues in the interior of the mincer housing and/or sausage horn may be removed via a soft bottle brush.

11. Dry all parts thoroughly after cleaning and leave the parts dry naturally for approx. 1/2 hour, where they are out of reach of young children .

12. After cleaning and drying the mincing discs, rub the mincing discs with some cooking oil.

IMPORTANT - Always protect the mincing discs from moist and humid air (see:

‘Storage’), when they are not in use.

CLEANING IN THE AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER

CAUTION – The plastic parts (multi-purpose container, pasta discs, adapter for sausage, kebab and cookies) may get distorted when exposed to high temperature.

Some metal parts (mincer housing, worm shaft, mincing discs, scraper beater, kneading tools) corrode when coming in contact with the corrosive cleaning agents used in dishwashers. Please, follow the instructions for cleaning, given below, before placing any parts and accessories of the stand mixer in an automatic dishwasher.

IMPORTANT - In an automatic dishwasher, you may clean only those parts mentioned below. All other parts may only be cleaned manually in warm dishwater according to the instructions given above.
