Select Grid: Choose the desired stainless steel grid (fine or medium) based on the texture required for your recipe. Place the selected grid inside the main body, ensuring it sits flat at the bottom.

Operating Instructions

The Moulinex Vegetable Mill is designed for processing cooked fruits and vegetables.

Prepare Ingredients: Cook your fruits or vegetables until they are soft. Cut larger items into smaller pieces to facilitate processing.
Place Mill: Position the assembled vegetable mill over a sturdy bowl or pot, ensuring the foldable feet are stable.
Add Ingredients: Place the cooked ingredients into the main body of the mill. Do not overfill.
Begin Milling: Turn the crank handle clockwise. The pressing blade will push the ingredients against the chosen grid, forcing the pulp through the holes and leaving skins and seeds behind.
Continue Processing: Continue turning the handle until all desired pulp has passed through the grid. Scrape any remaining pulp from the underside of the mill if necessary.
Empty Residue: Once finished, remove the mill from the bowl. Disassemble the blade and grid to discard any remaining solids.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Moulinex Vegetable Mill, refer to the following common solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Blade difficult to turn.	Ingredients are too hard or not cooked enough. Mill is overfilled. Grid or blade is obstructed by large pieces.	Ensure ingredients are thoroughly cooked and soft. Reduce the amount of ingredients in the mill. Check for and remove any large obstructions.
Food not passing through grid effectively.	Incorrect grid selected for ingredient type. Blade not properly seated.	Ensure the blade is correctly positioned over the grid. Consider using the coarser grid for fibrous ingredients.
Mill is unstable during use.	Feet not fully extended or placed on an uneven surface. Mill not centered on the receiving bowl/pot.	Ensure all three feet are fully extended and placed on a stable, flat surface. Center the mill over the receiving container.
