2. Place Hopper Plate: Ensure the hopper plate is securely in place.
3. Select Speed: Turn the control switch to "ON 1" for normal grinding or "ON 2" for faster grinding.
4. Feed Meat: Place meat pieces onto the hopper plate and gently feed them into the feed tube using the food pusher. Do not force meat into the grinder.
