2. Safety Instructions

• Ensure the kitchen machine is switched off and unplugged before attaching or removing the meat grinder.
• Keep hands and utensils away from moving parts during operation. Use the provided food pusher to feed ingredients.
• Do not attempt to grind bones, hard nuts, or other non-food items, as this can damage the attachment and the kitchen machine.
• Supervise children to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not immerse the motor unit of the kitchen machine in water or other liquids.
• Only use genuine Bosch accessories and spare parts.

• 1x Meat Grinder Attachment (MUZ5FW1)
• 1x Perforated disc (standard size)
• 1x Blade
• 1x Screw conveyor

4. Assembly and Setup

1. Prepare the Kitchen Machine: Ensure your Bosch MUM5 kitchen machine is unplugged and the multi-function arm is in the correct position for attachment installation. Refer to your MUM5 manual for specific instructions on attaching accessories.
2. Assemble the Meat Grinder:
   • Insert the screw conveyor into the grinder housing.
   • Place the blade onto the end of the screw conveyor, ensuring the sharp edges face outwards.
   • Position the perforated disc over the blade, aligning the notch on the disc with the pin on the housing.
   • Screw the locking ring onto the grinder housing until it is hand-tight. Do not overtighten.
3. Attach to Kitchen Machine: Insert the assembled meat grinder into the designated accessory drive on your MUM5 kitchen machine. Secure it firmly according to your kitchen machine's instructions.
4. Attach Filling Tray: Place the filling tray onto the top of the meat grinder housing.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients: Cut meat, fish, or vegetables into pieces that fit easily into the filling tray opening. Remove any bones, gristle, or tough sinews from meat to prevent blockages and damage.
2. Place a Collection Bowl: Position a bowl or container under the outlet of the meat grinder to collect the processed food.
3. Start the Kitchen Machine: Plug in your MUM5 kitchen machine and switch it on to a low to medium speed setting. Refer to your MUM5 manual for recommended speed settings for attachments.
4. Feed Ingredients: Place the prepared ingredients into the filling tray. Use the food pusher to gently guide the ingredients into the grinder. Never use your fingers or other utensils to push food into the grinder.
5. Process: Continue feeding ingredients until all food is processed. The grinder will extrude the finely chopped food through the perforated disc.
6. Stop Operation: Once finished, switch off and unplug the kitchen machine.

Optional Accessories: If using optional accessories like cookie shapers or pasta rollers, follow their specific assembly and operating instructions. These typically replace the perforated disc and blade assembly.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance ensure the longevity and hygienic operation of your meat grinder attachment.

1. Disassembly: After use, switch off and unplug the kitchen machine. Carefully disassemble the meat grinder by unscrewing the locking ring, removing the perforated disc, blade, screw conveyor, and filling tray.
2. Initial Rinse: Rinse all parts under warm running water to remove any large food residues.
3. Hand Washing: Wash all disassembled parts (grinder housing, screw conveyor, blade, perforated disc, filling tray, food pusher) with warm soapy water and a brush. Pay special attention to crevices and the holes in the perforated disc.
4. Important: The metal parts of the meat grinder are not dishwasher safe. Dishwasher detergents can cause discoloration or corrosion.
5. Drying: Thoroughly dry all parts immediately after washing to prevent rust, especially the metal components. A soft cloth or air drying is recommended.
6. Storage: Store the clean and dry parts in a safe place, preferably assembled or in their original packaging, to protect them from dust and damage.

7. Troubleshooting

• Grinder is blocked or slows down:
  • Ensure ingredients are cut into small, manageable pieces.
  • Check for tough sinews, bones, or other hard materials that may be causing a blockage. Disassemble and clear any obstructions.
  • Do not overload the grinder; feed ingredients gradually.
• Food is not grinding properly (mashing instead of chopping):
  • Ensure the blade is correctly installed with the sharp edges facing outwards.
  • Check if the perforated disc is clean and free from blockages.
  • Ensure the locking ring is sufficiently tightened.
• Attachment is difficult to assemble/disassemble:
  • Ensure all parts are clean and dry.
  • Do not overtighten the locking ring during assembly.
