GRINDING DRY FOOD
Dry food (e.g. dried herbs, spices, seeds, nuts, coffee beans, sugar) can be pulve-
rized or granulated using the grinding system.
The knives of the grinding blades are very sharp. For hand-
WARNING:
ling, hold the grinding blades by the collar.
Risk of Explosion! When opening the grinding system after operation, avoid
open fire near your working space (e.g. candles, cigarettes, barbecue fire).
Fine, swirled up dust (e.g. pulverized sugar, flour) could catch fire and explo-
de, when coming in contact with open fire.
Always ensure that the grinding cup is undamaged, before operation. There may be
no cracks and chipped edges. Even small splinters could cause severe injuries when
getting into your food or beverages. Additionally, chipped edges or any dried on
food at the thread and/or sealing area of the grinding cup, sealing ring, or blade
assembly could cause leakage and damage.
Before placing the grinding system on the motor base, always ensure that the exteri-
or of the grinding system (especially the bottom of the blade assembly) is completely
clean to avoid leakage and damage to the motor base.
Important: For achieving appropriate results, it is crucial to ensure that all ingre-
dients and the grinding cup, sealing ring, and blade assembly are absolutely dry.
Tip: By selecting the optimum blade assembly, the results can be adapted to your
liking (see: 'Tips for Best Results'). However, in most cases, the grinding blades
are suited best.
1. Prepare your food: carefully remove any inedible parts (e.g. stalks, hard shells).
Then cut large parts into cubes of max. 2 cm in size.
2. Select the required blade assembly (in most cases the grinding blades; see:
'Selecting and Mounting the Appropriate Processing System').
3. Check, whether the grinding cup, sealing ring, and blade assembly are complete-
ly dry and undamaged. There may be no scratches, cracks, distortions, and tears.
4. Fill the grinding cup with the first portion of your prepared food. Always observe the
maximum total amount (including all ingredients) for the grinding system: 150 g (the
grinding cup filled to approx. 2/3 of its height). If required, wipe the rim of the grin-
ding cup, because the sealing surfaces must be clean for getting a leak-free seal.
5. With the smooth side facing downwards, place a sealing ring into the blade
assembly. Ensure to insert the sealing ring in the appropriate groove in the inner
rim of the blade assembly.

CAUTION: To avoid damage to the thread and ensure correct and leak-free
operation, always ensure to screw the blade assembly onto the grinding cup wit-
hout tilting the thread. For getting even grinding results, do not overfill the grinding
cup. The maximum amount of 150g stands for all ingredients in total.
Do not fill in liquids or wet or extremely oily foodstuffs. If you wish to process this
type of food, use the mixing system (see: 'Selecting and Mounting the Appropriate
Processing System').
Tip: For grinding foodstuffs that will give off oils and moisture during grinding and
therefore easily go lumpy and sticky, in some cases it may be useful to add a little
sugar or salt.
6. Ensuring that the thread will not be tilted, screw the blade assembly onto the
grinding cup. Ensure a tight connection, but do not over-tighten the thread.
7. Ensure that the exterior of the grinding system is completely dry. Then place the
grinding system upside down onto the motor base. If required, turn the grinding
system to and fro until it settles down easily on the drive rotor, coming to a sta-
ble stand on the motor base.
Important: When mounting or dismounting the grinding system, do not grasp the
grinding cup. Always clasp the collar of the blade assembly with both hands to
avoid damage to the thread connecting the grinding cup and blade assembly.
Otherwise, the connection could get over-tightened, making it extremely diffi-
culty to remove the blade assembly after grinding.
8. For fixing the grinding system to the motor base, grasp the blade assembly with
both hands by the collar and turn it clockwise to the stop. This is a little more
than a finger's breadth after feeling the first resistance. The grinding system is
now ready for operation.
CAUTION:
Please keep in mind that the motor will start operation immediately,
when connecting the appliance to the power supply, while the power switch and
selection dial are in operating position. Thus, always switch off the appliance, at
the selection dial and power switch, before plugging in the power plug.
9. Ensure that the selection dial is in the "OFF" position and the power switch in the
"O" position. Then insert the power plug into an appropriate wall power outlet.
