separate disposal of an electrical or electronic appliance makes it possible

to avoid the possible negative consequences to health and the environment

of unsuitable disposal methods and it also means it is possible to recover

the material used to make it, meaning a significant saving in terms of

energy and resources. To point out the obligation for separate disposal of

electrical appliances the product has the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol.

Dear Customer,

Your Ariete GRATÌ rechargeable electric grater will soon become an indispen-

sable aid in your kitchen, making it so much easier to prepare cheese so that

you can always enjoy it freshly grated. This appliance has been designed to

grate any type of hard or medium-hard cheese but it can also grate chocolate,

dry bread, almonds, nuts, etc.

Gratì is now even easier to clean because it can be taken to pieces.

The GRATÌ rechargeable grater works after being charged on a charging unit

powered from the mains.

DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE (Fig. 1)

Please read these instructions with care before using the appliance; they

will allow you to get the best possible performance from your “Gratì” and

to keep it working longer.

CHARGING THE BATTERIES

WARNING: Always charge the battery completely before using the appliance.

IMPORTANT: Always charge the battery for 24 hours to activate it before using

it for the first time, after which time, the time needed to charge it fully will be

approximately 16 hours.

IMPORTANT: Make sure not to start the appliance while it is charging.

- Connect the plug from the charging unit (A); the operating light (B) switches

on to show that the mains power is connected. This light will switch off once

the power cord is removed from the mains socket;

- insert the appliance body (E) into the charging unit (A) (Fig. 2). After approxi-

mately 16 hours, the appliance will be charged and the ready for use.

- 11 -

WARNING: We recommend using up the full battery charge before charging

it again.

Charging unit

The charging unit serves to charge the batteries inside the appliance handle

and it has the additional bonus of serving to put away the appliance when it is

not being used; therefore, it needs to be placed near to a mains power socket.

Notes about charging

The charge will last longer and the appliance will work better if it is used on a

regular basis.

IMPORTANT: The top part of the appliance body (E) can become warm while

it is charging; this is normal.

IMPORTANT: Do not charge the appliance at temperatures below 5°C (40°F)

or above 40°C (105°F) as this could damage the batteries.

IMPORTANT: If the appliance does not work, make sure that it is housed cor-

rectly in the charging unit (A), that the plug is inserted correctly.

Important: If, after repeated use, the power seems not to last so long, this

does not mean that the unit is faulty. This problem can be solved by leaving the

appliance switched on until it stops working and then charge it for approximately

16 hours. This will improve the charge capacity of the batteries. Repeat this

operation several times, if necessary. If the power still does not last for very

long, contact your assistance centre.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

IMPORTANT: REMOVE THE APPLIANCE FROM THE CHARGING UNIT

DURING USE.

IMPORTANT: NEVER USE THE APPLIANCE WHEN EMPTY.

- When the appliance has charged, take it out of its base (A).

- Cut the food into “cubes” (if cheese, remove the rind) and place the cubes

inside the hopper (G) (Fig. 3). Then lower the presser (D).

- Use the grater over a container or grate directly onto the food, pressing the

start button (F) (Fig. 4).

- Therefore, after use, put away the appliance, using the charging unit (A) as

a handy support for upright storage (Fig. 5).

- 12 -

IMPORTANT: Do not place the appliance in the refrigerator, as this could dam-

age the batteries.

IMPORTANT: It is not hygienic to leave cheese (or chocolate) inside the hopper

for days and it could lead to the formation of mould or unpleasant smells.

Therefore, after each use, we recommend removing any food that has not been

used (unless it is going to be grated within a very short space of time) and to

store them appropriately in line with normal hygiene standards.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT: NEVER STAND THE APPLIANCE BODY, CHARGING UNIT,

PLUG OR POWER CORD IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS. WIPE CLEAN

WITH A DAMP CLOTH.

IMPORTANT: We recommend cleaning the appliance regularly since during

use, residues of food can become trapped inside the hopper. Constant cleaning

will guarantee greater hygiene for your food. We recommend that you ALWAYS

clean the appliance if it is used with different foods (for example, if grating

chocolate after first grating cheese), since any residues of one food could affect

the taste of the others.

IMPORTANT: Keep the appliance clean and tidy; this way you will be guaran-

teed excellent prepared foods and a longer appliance lifetime.

Before cleaning the appliance, it needs to be disassembled completely, pro-

ceeding as follows:

- remove the lid (L) by pressing the release button (I) and at the same time,

pulling it outwards (Fig. 6);

- turn the roller (H) about a ¼ turn anticlockwise and remove it (Fig. 7);

- slide out the hopper (G) from the appliance body (E) and take out the remov-

able section of the presser (M) from the lever (D) by pulling it out.

Only the removable parts (roller, hopper and lid, presser), as shown in Fig. 8,

can be washed in hot soapy water or in the top rack of the dishwasher.

To clean the other parts (appliance body, non-removable presser and charging

unit) wipe clean with a damp cloth and NEVER stand in water or other liquids.

Also take care not to use abrasive cloths which could scratch and damage

the plastic parts. Only use soft cloths.

- 13 -

Reassembling the appliance

Before using the appliance again, it needs to be reassembled as follows:

- lift the presser (D) and fit the removable section (M) into the seat, pressing it

until it clicks into place (Fig. 9). Make sure that the tap enters the slot in the

presser (D);

- insert the hopper (G) as far as it will go inside the appliance body (E) (Fig. 10);

- fit the lid (L) onto the appliance body (E) making sure it is perfectly lined up

inside its housing and pressing it gently until it clicks into place (Fig. 11);

- insert the roller (H) into its seat inside the appliance body (E) and holding it

down, turn it by a 1/4 turn clockwise (Fig. 12).

IMPORTANT: Before using the appliance, make sure that all parts have been

correctly fitted inside it.
