in water or other liquids or spill any liquids on the motor housing or power cord. Do not

PROPERTIES OF YOUR »DESIGN MINCER PRO M«
CAUTION:
Do not operate the appliance continuously for more than 3 minutes. If you
wish to process larger amounts of food, always make brakes in between times, switching
the appliance OFF to avoid overheating.
The appliance is NOT suited for grinding very hard, very fibrous, or watery foods. Cook
hard vegetables (e.g. carrots) and leave to drain, and/or cut to small pieces, before
processing with the mincer.
Do not process extremely watery foods (e.g. some fruits). Otherwise, juice could run into
the gear hole of the motor housing and cause damage to the motor.
Power Switch
The appliance is equipped with a separate power switch for switching OFF the appli-
ance completely (see: Knowing your Design Mincer).
With the power switch ON and the appliance connected to the power supply, the indi-
cators of the operating buttons on top of the motor housing (ON/OFF and REVERSE)
illuminate white. Always switch OFF the appliance at the power switch, when it is not
in use for several minutes.
The Buttons ON/OFF and REVERSE
Using the operating buttons ON/OFF and REVERSE you switch the motor on and off.
The arrows on the buttons indicate the direction of movement of the food within the cut-
ter housing.
• For processing your food, generally use the normal forward operation, controlled via
the ON/OFF button.
The indicator of this button illuminates white, when the appliance is connected to the power
supply and switched on via the power switch. After pressing the ON/OFF button, the indi-
cator of this button illuminates blue, and the motor starts working immediately. The worm
shaft moves the foods to the outlet of the cutter housing.
Do not let the motor work continuously for more than 3 minutes. Usually, during this time,
you have processed a tablet full of meat. Thereafter, switch OFF the motor for 15 minutes
to let the motor cool down. It is a good idea to use this time for preparing the next portion.
• Reverse operation is only intended for loosening blocked foods in the worm shaft (see:
