- Place the motor unit on a stable, flat, and dry surface. Ensure the ventilation openings are not blocked.
- Insert the grinder head into the opening on the front of the motor unit. Turn it clockwise until it locks securely into place.
- Insert the auger (spiral shaft) into the grinder head.
- Place the stainless steel blade onto the square shaft of the auger, ensuring the sharp edges face outwards towards the grinding plate.
- Select the desired grinding plate (fine, medium, or coarse) and place it over the blade and auger shaft.
- Screw the locking ring onto the grinder head clockwise until it is hand-tight. Do not overtighten.
- Place the aluminum hopper bowl onto the top of the grinder head.

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
- Ensure the appliance is correctly assembled with the desired grinding plate.
- Place a suitable container under the output of the grinder head to collect the ground meat.
- Plug the appliance into a 240V power outlet.
- Switch the control to the "ON" position. The motor will start.
- Place the prepared meat into the hopper bowl.
- Using the food pusher, gently feed the meat into the grinder head. Never use your fingers or other utensils.
- If the grinder becomes clogged or the motor stalls, immediately switch the control to "OFF".
- 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.
- 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.
- After grinding, switch off and unplug the appliance.
- Remove the locking ring, grinding plate, and blade.
- Attach the desired sausage stuffer or Kubbe attachment directly onto the auger shaft.
- Screw the locking ring back on to secure the attachment.
- For sausage making, slide the casing onto the nozzle.
- Plug in the appliance and switch to "ON".
- Feed the prepared meat mixture into the hopper bowl using the food pusher. The mixture will be extruded through the attachment.
- Guide the sausage casing or Kubbe mixture as it emerges.
- 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.
- Always switch off and unplug the appliance before cleaning.
- Disassemble all removable parts: hopper bowl, locking ring, grinding plate, blade, auger, and grinder head.
- 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.
- Rinse all parts thoroughly with clean water.
- Dry all parts completely with a soft cloth. Do not wash parts in a dishwasher, as this may cause discoloration or damage.
- Wipe the motor unit with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor unit in water or other liquids.
- To prevent rust on metal parts (especially the blade and grinding plates), apply a small amount of cooking oil to them after drying before storage.
- Store the assembled or disassembled parts in a dry place.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Motor stops during operation. | Overload or blockage. | Switch to "OFF", then "REVERSE" for a few seconds. If still blocked, unplug, disassemble, and clear obstruction. Reduce load. |
| Meat is not grinding properly or is mushy. | Meat is too warm, blade is dull, or grinding plate is incorrect. | Ensure meat is chilled. Check blade for sharpness and correct placement. Use a coarser grinding plate if necessary. |
| Loud noise or vibration. | Parts not assembled correctly or foreign object. | Switch off and unplug. Check assembly of grinder head, blade, and plate. Ensure no foreign objects are present. |
| Appliance does not turn on. | Not plugged in, power outage, or faulty switch. | Check power connection and outlet. Ensure switch is in "ON" position. If problem persists, contact customer support. |
