SAFETY
Always ensure bones and rinds etc. are removed from the meat
before mincing.
When mincing nuts, only put a few down at a time and allow the
wormscrew to pick them up before adding anymore.
Never put your fingers or utensils in the feed tube.
WARNING
The cutting blade is sharp, handle with care both in use
and cleaning.
This grinder is not intended for use by young children or
infirm persons without supervision.
FOOD SAFETY
Always wash your hands, counter and other surfaces in hot soapy water after
handling raw meats. Keep raw meats and their juices away from other food and
do not let them touch ready-to-eat foods.
Freshly ground meat should be refrigerated and cooked within 48 hours. Ground
meats can be frozen for up to four months.
Raw meat or fish should be well chilled (not frozen) before grinding to reduce the
loss of juices.
When grinding large quantities of meat, fats from the meat can build up in the
grinder, slowing down the grinding efficiency. If this happens, disassemble the
grinder, wash the parts in hot water and reassemble.
ALWAYS, wash your hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds
after handling raw meat or poultry. Keep your work area clean and uncluttered.
Wash countertops with a solution of 1 Teaspoon of chlorine bleach to 1 Qt of
water. They are the most effective at getting rid of bacteria.
ALWAYS wash and sanitize cutting boards after using them for raw foods. Consid-
er using one cutting board only for foods that will be cooked, such as meats and
fish and another only for vegetables, fruit and breads.
