4 TROUBLE SHOOTING & FAQ’S 

Questions

Answers

Can I operate the 
grinder empty?

No. Running the grinder dry could damage the head.

Are any of the parts 
and accessories 
dishwasher safe?

No. We recommend cleaning all the accessories in warm soapy water so as not 
to damage the finish. 

Where can I buy 
sausage casings?

You can purchase natural casings from your local butcher, or look online on 
sausage making websites for a variety of natural and synthetic casings.

How can I clean 
excess meat out of the 
grinder?

Feed chunks of stale bread or toast through the grinder. This helps to clear the 
last pieces of ground meat out.

What do I do if my 
grinder gets jammed?

If your grinder is jammed, or if the motor slows or stops you need to switch it to 
the reverse position. To do this, switch the grinder off. 
Move ON/OFF/REV switch to the REV position, and turn the grinder back on.
This will reverse the flow of the product. The worm will begin rotating in the 
opposite direction, thus empting the horn of the grinder. 

Can I add food to 
my grinder before 
switching it on?

No. The grinder must always be switched on before adding any food. 

Meat does not flow 
through the grinder. 

Make sure the grinder head is properly assembled. 

What are the sizes of 
the cutting blades?

Fine: 3mm
Medium:  5mm
Coarse: 7 mm

Meat is not feeding 
through correctly

Check that the cutting blade is assembled correctly. Ensure the meat is boneless 
and sinewless. 
Check that the food pipe is full of meat. Air pockets inside can result in an 
inconsistent finished product.
Check the extruder ring and screw assembly are correctly in place.
If you continue to have problems, run the meat through the grinder suing the 
coarse cutting blade first, and then use the medium or fine blade afterwards.
White meat is more difficult to grind that red meat (red meats mince easier). 
Ensure any white meat is diced into small portions before grinding.

What is the best way 
to clean the cutting 
blades?

Wash them in warm soapy water. Never store them wet. If they are not being 
used immediately after washing, wipe them with mineral oil.
Always inspect the blades regularly to ensure that all the holes are clear of 
bones, bits of gristle or over foreign materials. Clean the holes with wire as often 
as possible. 

How long can I operate 
the grinder for?

Do not operate the grinder for more than 30 minutes at any one time. After 30 
minutes of continuous use, allow a few minutes to rest before using again.
