Follow these steps to attach the meat grinder to your HAUSWIRT stand mixer:

  1. Ensure Power is Off: Unplug your HAUSWIRT stand mixer from the power outlet.

  3. Assemble Grinder Components:
    • Insert the grinding screw into the grinder body.

5. Operating Instructions

The HAUSWIRT HM70HV Meat Grinder Attachment is suitable for grinding raw or cooked meats, dried fruits, and cheeses. It also includes attachments for making sausages.

5.1 Grinding Meat and Other Foods

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Cut meat into small pieces (approximately 1-inch cubes) that will easily fit into the feed opening. Remove any bones, gristle, or tough tendons. For best results, chill meat and grinder parts (grinder body, screw, knife, plates) in the freezer for 15-30 minutes before grinding.
  2. Select Grinding Plate:
    • Fine Plate: Ideal for pâtés, spreads, and finely ground meats.
    • Medium Plate: Suitable for general-purpose grinding, such as meatballs or burger patties.
    • Coarse Plate: Best for coarse grinds, chili, or initial grinding of tougher meats. Also recommended for cooked meats, dried fruits, and cheeses.
  3. Position Bowl: Place a bowl or container under the grinder outlet to collect the ground food.
  4. Start Mixer: Plug in the stand mixer and turn it on to a low to medium speed (e.g., speed 2-4). Do not use high speeds.
  5. Feed Ingredients: Place prepared ingredients onto the food tray. Use the food pusher to gently guide the food into the feed opening. Never use your fingers or other utensils to push food into the grinder.
  6. Monitor Operation: Continue feeding ingredients until all are ground. If the grinder jams, turn off the mixer immediately, unplug it, and disassemble to clear the obstruction.
  7. Finish: Once grinding is complete, turn off the mixer and unplug it.

5.2 Making Sausages

To make sausages, you will need the sausage stuffer adapters and casing (not included).

  1. Prepare Grinder: Disassemble the grinding plate and knife. Instead, attach one of the sausage stuffer adapters to the grinder body, securing it with the locking ring.
  2. Prepare Casing: Soak natural casings in warm water for at least 30 minutes. If using collagen casings, follow manufacturer's instructions.
  3. Load Casing: Carefully slide the prepared casing onto the sausage stuffer adapter, leaving a small overhang at the end.
  4. Prepare Meat Mixture: Ensure your sausage meat mixture is well-chilled and seasoned.
  5. Start Mixer: Plug in the stand mixer and turn it on to a low speed (e.g., speed 1-2).
  6. Stuff Sausages: Feed the meat mixture into the food tray, using the food pusher to guide it. As the meat exits the stuffer, it will fill the casing. Guide the casing with your hand to ensure even filling and to prevent air pockets.
  7. Form Sausages: Once the casing is filled, turn off the mixer. Twist the filled casing at desired intervals to form individual sausages.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your meat grinder attachment.

  1. Disassemble: After use, immediately turn off and unplug the stand mixer. Disassemble all parts of the meat grinder attachment.
  2. Remove Residue: Use a brush or a small utensil to remove any remaining food particles from the grinder body, screw, knife, and plates.
  3. Hand Wash Only: Wash all parts (grinder body, screw, knife, plates, food tray, food pusher, sausage stuffers) by hand using warm soapy water.
    • Important: Do not wash any metal parts in a dishwasher. Dishwasher detergents and high temperatures can cause discoloration, corrosion, or damage to the chrome-plated finish.
    • The maximum water temperature for cleaning should not exceed 120°C (248°F).
  4. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse all parts under clean running water to remove soap residue.
  5. Dry Immediately: Dry all parts thoroughly with a soft cloth immediately after washing to prevent water spots and rust, especially on the metal components.
  6. Storage: Store all clean and dry parts in a safe place.
