Setup
The Brigii Burger Press comes pre-assembled. Before first use, disassemble the unit for thorough cleaning.

- Wash all components with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.

Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to create perfectly formed burger patties:
- Prepare Meat: Portion your ground meat into a ball. For best results and consistent thickness, consider weighing your meat portions.
- Use Parchment Paper: Place a piece of parchment paper on your work surface. For easier release and to prevent sticking, you may place another piece of parchment paper on top of the meat ball before pressing.
- Position Meat: Place the meat ball onto the parchment paper, centered within the base of the burger press.
- Press Patty: Apply firm, even pressure to the handle of the press. Utilize the pre-engraved thickness guide inside the press (100g/0.22lb to 400g/0.88lb) to achieve your desired patty thickness and weight. The spring-back design assists in this process.
- Release Patty: Lift the press. The easy-release design helps prevent the patty from sticking. Carefully remove the formed patty.
- Repeat: Continue with remaining meat portions. Stack patties with parchment paper in between for storage.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Patties sticking to the press | Insufficient lubrication or no parchment paper. | Always use parchment paper on both sides of the meat ball. A light spray of cooking oil on the press can also help, though parchment paper is usually sufficient. |
| Patties are uneven or not perfectly round | Meat not centered, uneven pressure, or incorrect meat quantity. | Ensure the meat ball is centered. Apply firm, even pressure. Use the internal thickness guide and weigh meat portions for consistency. |
| Press feels stiff or difficult to operate | Food residue buildup or components not properly aligned. | Disassemble and thoroughly clean all parts. Ensure the plunger rod is correctly aligned when reassembling. |
