Using The Appliance For The First Time - WMF Profi Plus Mode D'emploi

5 | USING THE GRATE
The three grates (13, 14, 15) are used for mincing meat, fi sh and vegetables. Depending on the proper-
ties of the food, you can choose one of the grates:
Note: The knife cuts the food. The grates determine the consistency of the cut food.
Note: Normal wear and tear may occur on the grates (13, 14, 15) and the cross blade (17).
▪ Select the coarse 7 mm grate (13) for solid food and for preparing coarse
sausages.
▪ Select the medium 4 mm grate (14) for soft foods. Note: When preparing tartar,
you can repeat the mincing process a second time with the medium grate to
obtain the ideal consistency.
▪ Select the fi ne 3 mm grate (15) for food that needs to be processed to a particu-
larly fi ne texture. To do this, you should pass the ingredients through the mincer
several times. Start with the coarse grate (13) and then use the fi ne grate (15)
for the second time. This gives the ingredients the desired fi ne consistency. This is
suitable in particular for meat pies (kibbeh).
A
Note: Any two grates can be stored in the grate storage (10), which is located on
the rear side of the casing (see fi gure A). The third grate can remain directly in
the mincer attachment (2). To remove the cover, press the lower part of the cover
and remove it. Re-insert the cover by placing it in the center of the holder and
closing it with light pressure.

6 | USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

Using the appliance for the fi rst time
▪ Remove all packaging from the accessories.
▪ Before using the appliance for the fi rst time, clean it as described in the "Cleaning and care" sec-
tion.
▪ Place the appliance on a moisture-resistant, fi rm and level surface. Also make sure the surface is
clean and dry.
Important! The ventilation openings on the underside of the appliance must not be covered.
▪ Insert the feeding screw (9) into the lower opening of the mincer attachment (2)
B
with the gear wheel facing inwards – see fi gure B.
▪ Now position the desired attachments as described in the following sections.

▪ Attach the mincer attachment (2) to the front attachment hub on the appliance
C
(see fi gure C).
▪ Note: For easier assembly, fi rst install the desired attachments in the mincer
attachment (2) before placing it in the front housing. If you mount the desired
attachments when the mincer attachment (2) is already in the front housing of
the appliance, the feeding screw (9) will push the attachments slightly forward.
The reason for this is the built-in safety mechanism. As long as the threaded
ring (6) is not properly fi tted, it will push the feeding screw (9) forward. Thus, no
injuries or squeezing can happen during operation!
Assembling the mincer
▪ First place the roll blade (16) on the feeding screw (9). The recess (fi gure D) points in the direction
of the feeding screw (9):

▪ The recess on the roll blade (16) must sit in the designated notch in the casing
F
(see fi gure F).
▪ Then place the cross blade (17) on the roll blade (16). The recess (fi gure G) points
in the direction of the roll blade (16).
▪ Caution! The cross blade (17) is very sharp. There is a risk of injury when handling
it!

▪ Place the desired grate (13, 14 or 15) on the cross blade (17).
I
▪ Note: The recess on the grate must sit in the designated notch in the casing (see
fi gure I).
▪ To lock it in place, tighten the threaded ring (6) on the casing.
Lock the threaded ring (6) by turning it clockwise.
Caution! Do not overturn or overtighten the threaded ring (6)!
Caution! The threaded ring (6) must never be tightened: This could cause rapid wear of the cross
blade and the grates.
▪ Place the fi lling bowl (4) on the mincer attachment (2).
