Setup and Assembly

Follow these steps to correctly assemble your meat grinder before use.

1. Ensure the motor unit is unplugged from the power outlet.
2. Insert the grinder head into the motor unit opening. Turn it counter-clockwise until it is firmly locked.
3. Place the auger (feeding screw) into the grinder head.
4. Install the cutting blade onto the auger shaft. Important: Ensure the flat side of the cutting blade faces outwards, towards the grinding plate. Incorrect placement will cause clogging.
5. Select the desired grinding plate (fine, medium, or coarse) and place it over the cutting blade, aligning the notch with the pin on the grinder head.
6. Screw the fixing ring onto the grinder head until it is hand-tight. Do not overtighten.
7. Place the food tray on top of the grinder head.

Operating Instructions

Preparing Meat for Grinding

• Cut meat into small pieces (approximately 1-inch cubes) that can easily fit into the feeding tube.
• Remove all bones, tendons, and excessive fat. Grinding only meat is crucial for optimal performance and to prevent damage.
• For best results, chill the meat and the metal grinding components (grinder head, auger, blade, plates) in the freezer for 15-30 minutes before grinding. This helps prevent smearing and ensures a cleaner grind.

Grinding Meat

1. Ensure the appliance is properly assembled and plugged into a power outlet.
2. Place a suitable container under the grinder head to collect the ground meat.
3. Turn the switch to the 'ON' position.
4. Feed the prepared meat pieces into the feeding tube using the food pusher. Do not force meat into the grinder; let the auger pull it through.
5. If the grinder jams, switch to the 'REVERSE' position for a few seconds to clear the blockage, then switch back to 'ON'.
6. After grinding, switch the appliance to 'OFF' and unplug it.

2. Attach the sausage stuffer to the auger shaft, then secure it with the fixing ring.
3. Prepare your sausage mixture and place it in the food tray.
4. Carefully slide the casing onto the sausage stuffer.
5. Turn the grinder to 'ON' and gently feed the mixture into the grinder, guiding the casing as it fills.
6. Once finished, switch to 'OFF' and unplug the appliance.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning and maintenance ensure the longevity and hygienic operation of your meat grinder.

1. Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.
2. Disassemble all removable parts: food tray, grinder head, auger, cutting blade, grinding plate, and fixing ring.
3. Immediately after use, rinse all parts under running water to remove any meat residue. Use a brush if necessary for hard-to-reach areas.
4. Wash the stainless steel cutting blade and grinding plates with warm, soapy water. These parts are dishwasher safe.
5. The grinder head, auger, and food tray are made of aluminum alloy and are NOT dishwasher safe. Wash these parts by hand with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Dishwashing can cause discoloration due to aluminum oxidation.
6. Wipe the motor unit with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor unit in water.
7. Dry all parts thoroughly immediately after washing to prevent rust and water spots.
8. Reassemble the dry parts for storage or next use.
