Frequently Asked Questions - 08612 Gourmetmaxx

How to assemble the meat grinder?

Place the motor block on a flat surface. Press the unlock button, insert the grinding attachment tilted to the right, release the button and turn to the left until it clicks. Fit the auger, blade head (blades outward), perforated disc (grooves aligned) and screw on the fixing nut without forcing. Add the filling tray.

How to clean the appliance after use?

Always unplug the appliance before cleaning. Disassemble all removable parts. Clean them with hot water and a mild detergent, never in the dishwasher. Wipe the motor block with a damp cloth. Dry all parts thoroughly before storage.

What to do if the appliance does not start?

Check that the plug is properly inserted and the outlet works. Make sure the switch is set to 'I'. Check the mains fuse. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

The appliance stops during use, what to do?

This is probably due to overload. The appliance is equipped with overload protection. Unplug it and let it cool down for about 10 minutes. Reduce the amount of food and cut it into smaller pieces before restarting.

Can I grind bones with this grinder?

No, the appliance is not designed for grinding bones. It is intended only for grinding meat and fish, as well as preparing vegetables, sausages, kebbeh and biscuits. Grinding bones could damage the motor and blades.

How to operate the reverse function?

First stop the appliance by setting the switch to '0' and wait for it to completely stop. Then briefly set the switch to 'R' to reverse the rotation direction and unjam the food. Never switch directly from 'I' to 'R'.

What accessories can be used with this grinder?

The appliance comes with many accessories: 3 perforated discs (coarse, medium, fine), blade head, sausage nozzle, kebbeh attachment, graters, slicer, vegetable attachment and biscuit adapter. Use only the original accessories.

Can I grind frozen vegetables?

No, the appliance is not suitable for processing frozen foods. Thaw them completely first. Fibrous foods like ginger or asparagus are also not recommended.

How to get homogeneous sausages?

Use the coarse perforated disc to grind the meat, then attach the sausage nozzle. Slide the casing onto the nozzle and fill it gradually. Be careful not to overfill to avoid bursting. Then twist into portions.

Can the appliance be used continuously?

No, it is designed for intermittent use. Do not exceed 10 minutes of continuous operation, then let it cool down for a few minutes before using again. This prevents overheating.
