Assembly and Operation
Maintenance
NOTE:
If the minced meat is not discharged smoothly or in the form of paste, the causes and remedies could be:
• Screw cap is tightened too much thus, the cutting blade does not contact properly with the cutting plate.
Readjust it.
• The cutting plate is blocked. Clean it.
• Cutting blade edges is dull. Sharpen or replace it.
JAMMING
When the circuit breaker automatically stops the motor, or when the motor continues to function but no meat
comes out of cutting plate, due to jamming, switch off.
• Do not switch on. Press CIRCUIT BREAKER to reset. Turn switch to REVERSE to clear the jam.
• Reverse operation will continue for as long as REVERSE is held. Clean the unit. (See “To clean” below)
TO CLEAN
Disassembling
Make sure that the motor has stopped completely. Disconnect the plug from the power outlet.
Locking ring has 3 flat sides, convenient for unscrewing. If locking ring is too tight, please knock at the flat
sides with a soft-handle, then locking ring will be unscrewed easily.
Unscrew the locking knob, and take out the auger tube (with cutting plate, cutting blade and feed screw), then
point the auger tube mouth downward in order to take out cutting plate, cutting blade and feed screw.
Cleaning
Remove meat, etc. wash each part in warm soapy water.
• A bleaching solution containing chlorine will discolor aluminum surfaces.
• Do not immerse motor housing in water, but only wipe it with a damp cloth.
A little salad oil on the plate & knife after washing and drying will keep them lubricated.
