13 Switch
14 Lock button

Mechanical safety device for the motor

15 Scroll
16 Coupling
17 Screw M5x20

The mincer is equipped with mechanical protection, which secures the motor against damage – the teeth of the scroll coupling will break when the mincer is overloaded (e.g., when bones have entered inside the mincer body).

Replace the broken coupling with the new one:

unscrew the screw (17) in the scroll (3) with the broken coupling,
remove the broken coupling (16),
fit the new coupling (16) and tighten it with the screw (17).

Working with the mincer unit

Insert the following parts into the mincer body (2):

① Insert the scroll (3) with the coupling (16) facing inside.
② Fit the knife (4) onto the pin of the scroll (3).
③ Place the screen (e.g. screen with 4 mm holes) over the knife so that the protrusion in the mincer body will fit into the groove in the circumference of the screen.
④ Tightly fit all the elements of the mincer unit.
⑤ Fit the assembled mincer unit onto the drive unit (1) and turn it until you hear a click of the lock.
⑥ Place the tray (7) on the mincer body (2).

Preparing the mincer for operation and starting the mincer

① Place the drive unit (1) near the mains socket on a hard, stable surface. Do not obstruct the ventilation openings in the housing.

Wash all parts and accessories before the first use.

Assemble all the required parts and attach them to the drive unit.

② Carefully pull out the power cord, and then insert the plug in the mains socket.
③ Start the mincer by means of the switch button (13).

Working with the sausage stuffing tube

Insert the following parts into the mincer body (2):

① Insert the scroll (3) with the coupling (16) facing inside.
② Fit the insert (12) onto the pin of the scroll (3).
③ Fit the sausage stuffing tube (11).
④ Tightly fit all the elements with the threaded ring (6).
⑤ Fit the assembled mincer unit onto the drive unit (1) and turn it until you hear a click of the lock.
⑥ Place the tray (7) on the mincer body (2).

Before fitting the casing, soak it in warm water for about 10 minutes.

Fit the wet casing onto the sausage stuffing tube (11).

Make sure not to clog the ventilation openings in the tube.

The meat mass filling the casing cannot be "too rare". Large amount of fluids can cause their leakage and penetration inside the mincer.

Shredder

2 Coarse grating drum (unavailable with ZMM4283)
3 Slicing drum (unavailable with ZMM4283)
4 Pulping drum
5 Locking tab
6 Body
7 Tray
8 Pusher

The shredder is equipped with two drums to grate into small and bigger chips (cheese, carrot, celery, baked beetroots, etc.). The third grating drum (slicing drum) is used to grate vegetables (potatoes, onions, cucumbers, etc.). The fourth grating drum (pulping drum) is used to grate fruit and vegetables (potatoes, beetroots, etc.) into pulp.

WORKING WITH THE SHREDDER

① Release the locking tab (5) and insert one of the grating drums with the coupling facing the inside of the body.
② Snap the locking tab (5).
③ Attach the shredder body (6) in the same way as the mincer body.

Cut large products into smaller elements, which you can be easily put into the shredder body.

Do not grate soft fruits containing hard stones.

When the work is finished turn off and unplug the appliance.

Remove the food remaining in the shredder body or inside the grating drum with a wooden spoon.

The blades of the drums do not require any regeneration.

Juicer

The juicer is an accessory for some types of mincers. It allows squeezing juice from fruits such as: raspberries, currants, strawberries, gooseberry and additionally from grapes and tomatoes. Berry fruits such as currants can be squeezed with stalks. Fruits with large stones, such as plums, cherries etc. can be squeezed in the appliance after removing the stones.

Parts of the juicer:

1 Chamber
2 Worm
3 Body
4 Nut
5 Juice channel
6 Adjusting screw
7 Bowl (from the mincer unit)
8 Pusher (from the mincer unit)
9 Screen - 2 pieces

No. 1 – smaller openings

No. 2 – larger openings

10 Large sealing ring for the body (3)
11 Small sealing ring for the worm (2)
12 Hook
13 Brush

Use only the pusher to push fruits (8).

① Make sure that the sealing rings (10) and (11) are fitted onto the body (3) and the worm (2). If not, insert them into the sealing grooves in these elements (the body and the worm).
② Insert the screen (9) into the body (3) and press firmly home.

In order to remove the sieve (9) out of the body (3), it is helpful to use the hook (12). Put the shorter end of the hook (12) into the hole of the sieve (9), and pull the sieve (9) outside.

③ Insert the worm (2) into the chamber (1).

④ Insert the body with the screen onto the worm making sure that the sieve faces downwards, and the positioning slot fits into the protrusion in the chamber.
⑤ Screw on the nut (4) to attach the body to the chamber (1).
⑥ Screw the adjusting screw (6) into the body (3).
⑦ Slide the juice channel (5) over the adjusting screw until it snaps on the body (3) – “click”.
⑧ Attach the assembled juicer to the drive unit in the same way as the mincer body.
⑨ Insert the bowl (7) and the pusher (8) – from the mincer unit – onto the feeding tube.
10 Place the appropriate dishes for the juice and pomace under the outlet of the juice channel (5) and the adjusting screw (6).
⑪ Plug in the appliance.
⑫ Turn the appliance on by means of the switch button, and then feed the fruit, pushing 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 pomace dryness during squeezing. If it is too dry, unscrew the adjusting screw (6), to avoid clogging the appliance with the pomace.

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 pomace once again.

The clogging of the chamber outlet (in the adjustment screw (3)) with the pomace of juicy fruits can cause the flooding of the drive unit.

Unplug the appliance if the chamber outlet becomes clogged. Pay special attention on the juice squeezing process, make sure the screen openings are not clogged. Disconnect the juicer from the drive unit (as in the case of the mincer body), dismantle the juicer, clean (wash) the juicer elements. Use the included brush to clean the appliance, especially the screen.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The device can be used for grinding such products as: food grains, oily seeds and dry foodstuffs.

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

Do not grind the oily products by the minimal granulation set up. Grinding device can be glued or blocked.

The device is not dedicated for grinding very hard products such as dried pea, maize.

THE INSTALLATION OF THE GRINDER ON THE DEVICE

① When the grinder chamber (7) is turned right by about 45^ , fit the assembled grinder onto the drive unit by inserting the protrusions of the grinder chamber (7) into the recesses in the drive unit, and then turn it left until you hear a “click” of the lock. It means that the grinder has been attached correctly.

USAGE AND REGULATION OF THE GRINDER

Before the first use, wash (see "CLEANING") and dry the disassembled grinder, and then grind around 50 grams of product (e.g. food grain) with the grinder set to medium grinding. The ground product must not be used because it is contaminated and must be thrown away.

Maximum time of non-stop operation of the grinder is 10 minutes. This condition corresponds to the maximum time of non-stop operation of the mincer for which a 45-minute break is required after 10 minutes of non-stop operation.

The device must not be operated without load. unloaded. Each time before staring the device, fill it with the product.

② Fill the pan (8) with grain.
③ Set the body handle (3) to coarse grinding.

④ Turn on the mincer motor.
⑤ The ground product will pour out through the opening.
⑥ Depending on the desired grinding level or the type of grain, adjust the burr regulator (2) with the body handle in order to obtain the product with the adequate granulation level. By turning it clockwise you will obtain a finer ground product, by turning it counter-clockwise – coarser ground product.

The finest (minimum) grinding level is achieved by setting the handle to line 1, and the coarsest (maximum) grinding level by setting it to the STOP line. See the graphic on the body (3) and burr regulator (2).

By attempting to twist or turn the handle beyond the STOP line during the operation you can damage the device.

It is recommended that the burr regulator (2) is set between line 1 and the STOP line during the grinder operation.

Remember to wash the grinder thoroughly before grinding different types of product. It will prevent mixing of odours.

soft grain such as oat or linseed it is necessary to select the coarse-graining setting.

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

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The grinder does not require cleaning after each operation (if one type of product is ground only), because the worm (6) prevents the grain residues from depositing in the grinder. Dry the steel burrs (4, 5) using a soft cloth after cleaning to prevent corrosion. In case of long-term storage, conserve the burrs by greasing them (you can use edible oil). Do not immerse the burr in boiling water. The plastic parts (without the graphic) can be washed in the dishwasher (max. 60°C).
