THE SCRAPER
Always have the scraper tted during all types
of processing since the four scraper blades
slow down the rotation of the food in the bowl
and guide the food toward the centre/cutting
zone of the bowl.
By turning the handle of the scraper back and
forth, the lid and walls of the bowl can easily
be scraped and the food returned to the cutting
zone while the machine is operating.
ASSEMBLING
Place the bowl on the machine base so that
one of the two guide pins on the bowl drops into
the slot on the top/front of the machine base.
Fit the knife to the shaft and press it down all
the way. Note! The knife must not be tted
during the safety check but only during actual
processing.
Place the sealing ring into the groove on the
inside of the lid.
Fit the plug correctly into the feed hole of the
lid, making sure that the plug does not stick
out on the underside of the lid.
Grip the centre of the scraper ring with the
left hand and the feeder tube on the lid with
the right hand while placing the lid on the
scraper ring.
Grip the scraper handle with the right hand and
push the centre of the scraper handle down into
the centre of the lid as far as it will go.
Press together the scraper ring and scraper

handle so that it covers the feed tube on the lid.
Press together the scraper handle and scraper

USING THE SPEED CONTROL
With the control knob in the “O” position the
machine is switched off. In the “I” position the
machine runs continuously at low speed and
