Use

Warning

Risk of injury!

Do not reach into the feed chute with your hands.

Caution!

• Remove hard fruit peel, pips and stalks.
• Berries such as e.g. currants can be pressed together with their stalks.
  – Fruit with larger pips and stones such as e.g. plums and cherries must have their pips or stones removed before juicing.
• Do not process frozen fruit.
• Do not apply great force with the pusher.

→ Fig. N

1. Fit the prepared attachment onto the drive of the base unit, holding it at an angle.
2. Turn the attachment anticlockwise until you hear it click into position. Tighten threaded ring.
3. Fit the filling tray and insert the pusher in the feed chute.
4. Prepare the fruit. Chop up large fruit beforehand so it fits into the feed chute without having to be pressed in. Remove larger pips and stones (e.g. cherries, plums).

■ Place one container under each of the apertures for juice and for the pulp.
■ Add the prepared fruit to the filling tray.

1. Connect the mains plug. Switch on the appliance.

2. Use the pusher to slide the fruit down the feed chute, applying light pressure.

3. The pressed juice flows out from the outlet funnel. The pulp (solid components) is pressed through the pulp nozzle.

4. Adjust the pulp nozzle. Unscrewing makes the pulp more moist; screwing in makes it dryer and more juice flows from the funnel. If the pulp is too dry, unscrew the nozzle, to avoid clogging the appliance with the pulp.

5. Once you have finished, switch off the appliance and pull out the mains plug.

6. Remove the filling tray and pusher.

7. Hold down the release button and turn the attachment clockwise until it disengages.

■ Remove the attachment, take it apart and clean all parts. → “Care and daily cleaning” see page 35

1. To remove the filter insert, insert the hook into the hole in the filter insert and carefully extract.

Caution!

Pay special attention to the juice squeezing process. Make sure filter openings are not clogged. Clogging of the housing outlet with the pulp of juicy fruits can cause the flooding of the drive unit.

If the housing outlet becomes clogged, switch off the appliance and pull out the mains plug. Remove the attachment, take it apart and clean all parts. → “Care and daily cleaning” see page 35

Care and daily cleaning

The appliance, all attachments and the relevant accessories must be thoroughly cleaned after each use.

⚠️ Risk of electric shock!

Recipes

Note (MFW3X...):

For all operating steps, set the speed to 2 (fast).

Bread dumplings

• 300 g fresh white bread
• 20 ml milk
• 40 g butter or margarine
• 3 eggs
• 1 tbsp finely chopped onions
• Parsley
• A little flour
• Salt and pepper

■ Cut the bread into slices 10 mm thick and halve lengthways. Add 20 ml of milk and soak.

■ Process the moistened bread for approx. 60 secs with the meat mincer (perforated disc, medium).
■ Add the finely chopped onions, parsley and melted butter and mix.
■ Add the whisked eggs, salt and pepper and mix into the bread dough.
■ Leave the dough to prove for several minutes. Then knead again.
■ Shape the dumplings with wet hands. Roll the dumplings in flour.
■ Place dumplings in boiling water and leave to simmer for approx. 20 minutes. Do not bring to the boil!

Tips

Meat mincer

Using the perforated discs

- Perforated disc, fine (2.7 mm) for: cooked chicken / pork / beef, cooked liver, cooked fish for soups; raw pork and beef for meat loaf; raw liver, meat and bacon for liverwurst; pork for Mettwurst

- Perforated disc, medium (4 mm) for: pork and beef for pâté and Cervelat sausage

- Perforated disc, coarse (8 mm) for: roast pork for goulash soup; leftovers (joint, sausage) for bakes

■ If you require a finer consistence to your processed food, process it several times or use different perforated discs one after the other (coarse, medium, fine).

■ You can add other ingredients (e.g. onions, spices) directly during processing. This ensures all ingredients are mixed together thoroughly.

Sausage filler

■ Soak natural casing in lukewarm water for about 10 minutes before processing.
■ Do not stuff casings too full or the sausages may burst during boiling or frying.

Shredding attachment

Caution! (MFW3X...)

• Always use the shredding and cutting inserts at speed 1 (slow).
• Use the grating insert at speed 2 (fast).
  → "Speed setting" see page 30

Using the inserts

• Slicing insert: for carrots, celery, kohlrabi, courgettes
• Shredding insert (coarse): for carrots, nuts, hard cheese (e.g. Emmentaler)
• Shredding insert (fine): for nuts, hard cheese, Parmesan cheese
• Grating insert: for potatoes, Parmesan cheese, nuts

Grain mill attachment

• Do not grind oleaginous products at the smallest degree of grinding. The grinder may jam or become blocked.
• In the case of softer grain, such as oats or linseeds, the coarse setting must be selected for grinding.
• Wash the grinder thoroughly when changing from one product to another. This will prevent odours from impairing each other.
