MAINTENANCE
If the motor slows or stops, this may be due to jammed food. Switch the Meat Grinder “Off” and
unplug from power source.
Remove the Meat Hopper to access the Grinder Feed Head, and use a
small spatula to clear the Feed Screw. Then plug the Meat Grinder into the power source and turn the
Meat Grinder “On”. If the Meat Grinder gets jammed again, switch it “Off” again, unplug then
disassemble the Grinder/Feeder Head and clean the internal parts.
Prevent children from using the Meat Grinder without adult supervision.
Remove the yellow Safety Lock on the Power Button. The Meat Grinder will not
turn on without the Safety Lock installed.
CUTTING PLATES

Fine Cutting Plate- For spreads, baby food, hamburgers

SUGGESTIONS
Grind stale bread pieces to help remove food residue left in the Meat Grinder after use.
Cut food into strips or cubes slightly smaller than the opening on the large die-cast hopper.
Make sure food is free of bone, tough tendon, nutshells, etc. before grinding.
Raw meat and fish should be thoroughly chilled (not frozen) before grinding to reduce the loss of juices.
Freshly ground meat should be refrigerated and cooked within 24 hours.
During extended grinding, fats from meats can build up inside the grinder tube. This may slow down
grinding and strain the motor. If this happens, stop the Meat Grinder, wash all parts in hot soapy water,
and reassemble.
Trim a handful of fat from meat. Process the fat through the hopper to lubricate grinding mechanism for
better processing results.
USING THE RESET BUTTON
The motor may overheat when used for long periods of time. If the motor shuts off unexpectedly, turn the
Power Switch off, then Reset the Reset Button. Turn the Power Switch “ON” and resume grinding.
