3. 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 (feeding tray, grinding head, auger, blade, grinding plates, food pusher, sausage nozzle) in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately.
3. Assemble Grinding Head:
   • Insert the auger into the grinding head.
   • Place the cutting blade onto the square shaft of the auger, ensuring the sharp edge faces outwards towards the grinding plate.
   • Select the desired grinding plate (e.g., 4mm for fine, 7mm for medium) and place it over the blade and auger shaft.
   • Secure the grinding plate with the locking ring, tightening it firmly but not excessively.
4. Attach Grinding Head to Motor Unit: Insert the assembled grinding head into the opening on the front of the motor unit. Rotate it slightly until it locks securely into place.
5. Place Feeding Tray: Position the stainless steel feeding tray onto the top of the grinding head.
6. Position Appliance: Place the assembled meat grinder on a stable, flat, and dry surface. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Grinding Meat

1. Prepare Meat: Cut meat into small pieces (approximately 1-inch cubes) that will easily fit into the feeding tube. Remove bones, gristle, and excessive fat. For best results, chill the meat and grinder parts (auger, blade, plates) in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before grinding.
2. Connect Power: Plug the appliance into a suitable electrical outlet.
3. Start Grinder: Turn the control knob to the "ON" position.
4. Feed Meat: Place prepared meat onto the feeding tray. Slowly feed the meat into the feeding tube using the food pusher. Never use your fingers or other utensils to push meat into the grinder.
5. Collect Ground Meat: Place a bowl or container under the grinding head to collect the ground meat.
6. Reverse Function: If the grinder becomes jammed, turn the control knob to the "REV" (Reverse) position to clear the blockage. Once cleared, switch back to "ON" to continue grinding.
7. Finish: After grinding, turn the control knob to "OFF" and unplug the appliance.

Image Description: This image demonstrates the multi-functional capability of the grinder, showing it processing not only meat but also vegetables (carrots, onions) and condiments (garlic, ginger). It highlights that various fillings can be prepared with this single machine.

4.2. Making Sausages

1. Prepare Grinder: Disassemble the grinding head. Attach the sausage stuffing nozzle to the grinding head, then reassemble the auger and locking ring (without the blade or grinding plate).
2. Prepare Casings: Soak natural or synthetic sausage casings in warm water according to their instructions.
3. Prepare Meat Mixture: Use pre-ground meat mixed with seasonings for your sausage recipe.
4. Load Casing: Slide one end of the prepared casing onto the sausage stuffing nozzle, gathering the rest of the casing onto the nozzle. Tie a knot at the end of the casing.
5. Start Stuffing: Turn the grinder to "ON". Feed the meat mixture into the feeding tube using the food pusher. Guide the casing as it fills, ensuring it fills evenly without air pockets. Do not overfill.
6. Form Sausages: Once the casing is filled, turn off the grinder. Twist the filled casing at desired intervals to form individual sausages.
7. Finish: Turn the control knob to "OFF" and unplug the appliance.

5. Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your meat grinder and ensure hygienic operation.

1. Unplug: Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning.
2. Disassemble: Carefully disassemble all removable parts: feeding tray, grinding head, auger, blade, grinding plate, and sausage nozzle (if used).
3. Remove Residue: Use a brush or cloth to remove any remaining meat residue from the components.
4. Wash Parts: Wash all removable parts in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly. Do not wash parts in a dishwasher as this may cause discoloration or damage.
5. Dry Immediately: Dry all metal parts immediately after washing to prevent rust. A thin layer of food-grade mineral oil can be applied to the blade and grinding plates for extra protection against rust before storage.
6. Clean Motor Unit: Wipe the motor unit with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor unit in water or spray it with water.
7. Storage: Store the clean, dry components in a safe place.
