XI. Small sealing ring for the worm (2)

XII. Hook

NOTE: Use only the pusher to push fruits (VIII).

Preparing for operation and operation

Make sure the sealing rings(X) and (XI) are installed on the body (III) and worm (II). If not, please install the sealing rings in the openings of these elements (the body and the worm).

Insert the screen (IX) into the body (III) and push until stop.

In order to remove the sieve (IX) out of the body (III), it is helpful to use the hook (XII). Put the shorter end of the hook (XII) into the hole of the sieve (IX), and pull the sieve (IX) outside.

Insert the worm (II) into the squeezer chamber (I) and insert the body with the screen onto the worm paying attention that the sieve is placed downwards, and the positioning opening fits the protrusion of the squeezer chamber.

●crew the nut (IV) onto the squeezer chamber (I).

●crew the adjustment screw (VI) into the body (III) and insert the juice channel (V) until it snaps shut on the body (III) and you hear a click.

Insert the assembled squeezer onto the motor, proceeding in the same way as in the description of the mincing chamber.

Insert the bowl (VII) and the pusher (VIII) – from the mincing unit onto the feeding tube.

But some appropriate vessels for juice and pulp under the juice channel outlet (V) and adjusting screw (VI).

Plug in the appliance.

Turn on the appliance by pressing the „I” button and next insert the fruits pushing them with the pusher.

In order for the juice squeezing process to run properly do not screw the adjustment screw too deeply in the initial operation phase. After assessing the amount of juice in the processed fruits, adjust the screw in order to obtain an adequate effectiveness and to avoid clogging the appliance.

- Observe the pulp dryness during squeezing. If they are too dry, unscrew the adjusting screw (VI), to avoid clogging the appliance.

The screw adjustment depends on the type of processed fruits, in case of juicy and ripe fruits adjust the screw deeper, and for fruits that are not as juicy, the level of screw adjustment should be lower.

If the screw adjustment does not provide an adequate squeezing effectiveness, you can process the processed fruits once again.

The clogging of the chamber outlet (in the adjustment screw (III)) with juicy processed fruits can cause the juice to contact the motor.

Unplug the appliance if the chamber outlet becomes clogged. Pay special attention during the juice squeezing process, make sure the screen openings are not clogged. Dismantle the juicer from the motor (as in the case of the mincing chamber), dismantle the squeezer, clean (wash) the squeezer elements. Use the included brush to clean the appliance, especially the screen.

VII. Grinder chamber

VIII. Pan

IX. The groove of the body has to hit the protrusion of the grind chamber

Device description

Presented device can be used to grinding such products as: corns, oily seeds and the dry comestibles

The quern grinder enables grinding of such products as: wheat, oat, rice, granular coffee, all-spice, charlock, walnuts, hazelnuts dried mushrooms, almonds, soya. linseed, buckwheat groats, peeled sunflower seeds etc.

IMPORTANT: Don't grind the oily products by the minimal granulation set up. Grinding device can be glued or blocked.

IMPORTANT: Device is not dedicated for grinding the very hard products as f. e. dried pea, maize, popcorn.

The installation of the grinder on the device

When the grinder chamber is turned right through the angle of 45, put the assembled grinder on the drive by putting the protrusions of grinder chamber (VII) on the recesses of the drive, and then, turn left to the position in which you will hear "clicking" of the blocking. It means that the grinder has been assembled correctly.

Usage and regulation of the grinder

Before the first use, wash (see "CLEANING") and dry a disassembled grinder, and then grind around 50 grams of product (f. e. corns) - set-up the grinding option of the device with the medium comminute. The grinded product is not fit to use cause it's polluted and its necessary throw it away.

IMPORTANT: Maximal time of uninterrupted work is around 15 minutes.

This condition is connected with maximal work time of machine, for which it should be done the 45 minutes of pause after 15 minutes of operation.

IMPORTANT: The devices cannot operate without loading. Each time before staring the device, fill it up with product.

Put the corns into the pan (VIII), set up the handle of the body (III) on the thicker grinding, set up the machine engine. The grinded product will start pouring out through the hole.

Regulate the quern regulator (II), depending on the demanded grinding level or using seeds, with the handle of the body for obtain the product with the adequate granulation level.

By turning it clockwise you will get the fine grind product. By turning it counter-clockwise – the thick grind product.

The finest (minimal) grinding level is achieved by setting it up with the handle on the line 1, and the hugest (maximal) by setting it up with the handle on the STOP line. See the graphic on the body (III) and quern regulator (II).

Too strong twisting or turning of the handle out of STOP line during the work time can cause the device failure.

CAUTION: It's recommended to set the quern regulator during the grinder work time between the line 1 and STOP line.

IMPORTANT: It's FORBIDDEN to use the REVERSE function in the machine when the grinder is installed.

CAUTION: Remember about the accurate washing the grinder before grinding of the different products. It will permit to avoid the mutual penetration of odors.

CAUTION: For the soft corns as oat or linseed it's necessary to select the coast-grained set up.

ATTENTION! Do not look into the grinding chamber during operation, as the beans which pop out sometimes, can hurt you (i.e. your eye).

Cleaning and maintenance

The grinder does not require the cleaning after each operation (if it's grinded one kind of product), cause the worm prevents falling the seeds residues into grinder. Dry the steel quern (4, 5) using a soft cloth after cleaning to prevent corrosion. In case of long-term storage, conserve the quern by greasing them (you can use edible oil). Do not immerse the quern into boiling water. The part of plastic (don't containing the graphic) can be washed in the dish-washer (max. of 60°C).

After operation (Fig. 11)

• switch off and unplug the appliance.
  Remove the pusher and take out the tray from the mincer body, the shredder body or the juicer body (in case of the citrus juicer separately remove the squeezer and screen).
  Press the lock button (1), turn (2) the mincing unit, the shredder body (or the citrus juicer bowl) to the right and remove it.
  case of the citrus juicer take out the clutch from the motor.
