Operating Instructions

Meat Grinding

1. Prepare your meat by cutting it into small pieces (approx. 1-inch cubes) that will easily fit into the feed opening. Ensure meat is chilled for best results.
2. Place a bowl or container under the grinding plate to collect the ground meat.
3. Turn on your KitchenAid mixer to a medium speed (Speed 4-6 is generally recommended).
4. Feed the meat pieces into the food tray and gently push them down the feed tube using the food pusher. Do not force the meat.
5. Continue until all meat is ground. Turn off the mixer and unplug it once finished.
