Frequently Asked Questions - MFW45000 BOSCH

How do I assemble the meat grinder?

Insert the pusher into the feed tube. Align the cutting plate and blade with the worm gear, then secure the locking ring by turning clockwise.

No, this grinder is designed for boneless meat. Bones may damage the blade and motor.

How do I clean the grinder?

Why is the motor not starting?

Check that the locking ring is securely tightened. The safety switch prevents operation if the grinder head is not properly assembled.

Can I use the grinder for soft fruits or vegetables?

Safety devices

Overload protection

(thermal circuit breaker)

If the motor switches itself off while the appliance is being used, the overload protection feature has been activated.

Possible causes may be the simultaneous processing of large quantities of food or a blockage caused by bones.

If a safety system is activated, see "Troubleshooting".

Predetermined breaking point

To prevent serious damage to your appliance if the mincer is overloaded, the driver has a notch (predetermined breaking point). If an overload occurs, the driver breaks instead. However, the driver can easily be replaced.

Otherwise spare parts with a predetermined breaking point are not a component of our warranty obligations.

Such spare parts can be purchased from customer service (order no. 753348).
