Setup and Assembly

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Check for any damage.
2. Clean: Before first use, wash all parts that will come into contact with food (food tray, grinding head, feeding screw, cutting blade, grinding plates, food pusher) in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately.
3. Assemble Grinding Head:
   • Insert the feeding screw into the grinding head.
   • Place the cutting blade onto the shaft of the feeding screw, ensuring the sharp edges face outwards towards the grinding plate. (Note: Two cutting blades are included; use one at a time).
   • Select the desired grinding plate (fine, medium, or coarse) and place it over the cutting blade, aligning the notch with the pin on the grinding head.
   • Screw the fixing ring onto the grinding head until it is hand-tight. Do not overtighten.
4. Attach Grinding Head to Motor Unit: Insert the assembled grinding head into the motor unit's opening, ensuring it is securely locked in place. Some models may require a twist or click mechanism.
5. Place Food Tray: Position the food tray on top of the grinding head.
6. Position Appliance: Place the assembled meat grinder on a stable, flat, and dry surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit.

Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Meat: Cut meat into small pieces (approximately 2-3 cm cubes) that will easily fit into the feeding tube. Remove any bones, gristle, or tough tendons.
2. Plug In: Ensure the appliance is correctly assembled and then plug it into a suitable power outlet.
3. Start Grinding: Turn the On/Off switch to the "On" position.
4. Feed Meat: Place the prepared meat into the food tray. Use the food pusher to gently guide the meat down the feeding tube. Never use your fingers or other utensils to push meat into the grinder.
5. Reverse Function: If the grinder becomes jammed, turn the switch to the "Reverse" position. This will rotate the feeding screw in the opposite direction to clear blockages. Once cleared, switch back to "Off" and then "On" to resume grinding.
6. Continuous Use: Do not operate the grinder for more than 10 minutes continuously. Allow a 30-minute rest period between uses to prevent overheating.
7. Finish: Once grinding is complete, turn the switch to the "Off" position and unplug the appliance from the power outlet.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your meat grinder.

1. Unplug: Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.
2. Disassemble: Disassemble the grinding head components (fixing ring, grinding plate, cutting blade, feeding screw, grinding head, food tray).
3. Wash Parts: Wash all removable parts in warm, soapy water. Use a brush to remove any meat residue. Rinse thoroughly.
4. Dry Immediately: It is crucial to dry all metal parts immediately after washing to prevent rust, especially the stainless steel components. A thin layer of cooking oil can be applied to the grinding plates and cutting blade before storage for added protection.
5. Clean Motor Unit: Wipe the motor unit with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor unit in water.
6. Storage: Store the clean and dry appliance in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children.
