Handle the blade with caution as it has very sharp cutting edges.

Before first use, wash all accessories with soapy washing-up liquid water and wipe dry carefully.

The grill and the knife need to be kept oiled. Coat them with oil. Do not use your appliance empty, if the grill and the knife are not oiled.

Assembling the grinding unit: (fig. 1)

• Introduce the screw (6) (long shaft first) into the grinding unit (5).
• Position the blade (7) on the short shaft of the screw setting the cutting edges facing outside on the grid side.
• Place the selected grid (8) on the blade and slot the two lugs into the two slots of the unit.
• Screw in the nut (9) fully without sticking.
