5. Setup and Assembly

Before first use, wash all detachable parts (grinder head, hopper bowl, blade, grinding plates, attachments, food pusher) in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely. The motor unit should only be wiped with a damp cloth.

1. Place the motor unit on a stable, flat, and dry surface. Ensure the ventilation openings are not blocked.
2. Insert the grinder head into the opening on the front of the motor unit. Turn it clockwise until it locks securely into place.
3. Insert the auger (spiral shaft) into the grinder head.
4. Place the stainless steel blade onto the square shaft of the auger, ensuring the sharp edges face outwards towards the grinding plate.
5. Select the desired grinding plate (fine, medium, or coarse) and place it over the blade and auger shaft.
6. Screw the locking ring onto the grinder head clockwise until it is hand-tight. Do not overtighten.
7. Place the aluminum hopper bowl onto the top of the grinder head.
8. Ensure the control switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging the appliance into a power outlet.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Preparing Meat for Grinding

• Trim all bones, gristle, and excessive fat from the meat.
• Cut the meat into pieces approximately 2-3 cm (1 inch) thick, ensuring they fit easily into the hopper opening.
• For best results, chill the meat and grinder head components in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before grinding. This helps prevent smearing and ensures cleaner cuts.

6.2. Grinding Meat

1. Ensure the appliance is correctly assembled with the desired grinding plate.
2. Place a suitable container under the output of the grinder head to collect the ground meat.
3. Plug the appliance into a 240V power outlet.
4. Switch the control to the "ON" position. The motor will start.
5. Place the prepared meat into the hopper bowl.
6. Using the food pusher, gently feed the meat into the grinder head. Never use your fingers or other utensils.
7. If the grinder becomes clogged or the motor stalls, immediately switch the control to "OFF".
8. To clear a blockage, switch to the "REVERSE" position for a few seconds to push the meat back out. Then switch to "OFF", clear any visible obstruction, and resume grinding.
9. After grinding, switch the control to "OFF" and unplug the appliance.

6.3. Using Sausage Stuffer / Kubbe Attachments

To use these attachments, first grind the meat according to the instructions above. Then, disassemble the grinding plate and blade, and attach the appropriate nozzle.

1. After grinding, switch off and unplug the appliance.
2. Remove the locking ring, grinding plate, and blade.
3. Attach the desired sausage stuffer or Kubbe attachment directly onto the auger shaft.
4. Screw the locking ring back on to secure the attachment.
5. For sausage making, slide the casing onto the nozzle.
6. Plug in the appliance and switch to "ON".
7. Feed the prepared meat mixture into the hopper bowl using the food pusher. The mixture will be extruded through the attachment.
8. Guide the sausage casing or Kubbe mixture as it emerges.
9. When finished, switch to "OFF" and unplug the appliance.

7. Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your meat grinder.

1. Always switch off and unplug the appliance before cleaning.
2. Disassemble all removable parts: hopper bowl, locking ring, grinding plate, blade, auger, and grinder head.
3. Wash all disassembled parts (except the motor unit) immediately after use in warm, soapy water. Use a brush to remove any meat residue from the grinding plates and auger.
4. Rinse all parts thoroughly with clean water.
5. Dry all parts completely with a soft cloth. Do not wash parts in a dishwasher, as this may cause discoloration or damage.
6. Wipe the motor unit with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor unit in water or other liquids.
