4. Setup

Follow these steps to assemble your meat grinder:

1. Place the chosen bowl (2L glass or 1.8L stainless steel) on a stable, flat surface.
2. Carefully place the blade assembly onto the center pin inside the bowl. Ensure it sits correctly.
3. Add your ingredients into the bowl. Do not overfill; ensure ingredients are below the maximum fill line.
4. Place the lid onto the bowl, aligning it properly and twisting if necessary to secure.
5. Position the motor unit onto the lid, ensuring it is firmly seated and locked into place.
6. Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.

5. Operating Instructions

Your meat grinder features two speed settings for various food types:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Cut larger pieces of food into smaller, manageable sizes (approximately 2-3 cm) to ensure even processing.
2. Select Speed:
   • Speed 1 (Lower Speed): Ideal for softer ingredients such as vegetables, fruits, garlic, chili, onions, or for preparing cold soups.
   • Speed 2 (Higher Speed): Suitable for harder ingredients like meat, nuts, carrots, ham, or cheese.
3. Operate: Press and hold the desired speed button on the motor unit to begin processing. Release the button to stop. For best results, use short pulses rather than continuous operation, especially for harder ingredients, to prevent overheating and achieve desired consistency.
4. Monitor: Observe the food through the glass bowl (if used) to achieve the desired texture.
5. Finish: Once processing is complete, release the button, unplug the appliance, and carefully remove the motor unit, lid, and blade assembly before emptying the bowl.

Proper cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your appliance:

1. Unplug: Always unplug the meat grinder from the power outlet before cleaning.
2. Disassemble: Carefully remove the motor unit, lid, and blade assembly from the bowl.

4. Clean Motor Unit: Wipe the motor unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor unit in water or any other liquid.
