To Use

Assembling:

2. Holding Head with one hand, tighten Locking Knob clockwise.
3. Place Feed Screw into Head, long end first, by turning Feed Screw slightly until it is set into Motor Housing and cover the transmission shaft.
4. Place Cutting Blade onto Feed Screw shaft with the blade facing the front. If it is not fitting properly, the meat will not be ground.
5. Place desired Cutting Plate next to Cutting Blade, aligning the pin of the head with the plate's groove.
6. Screw Cap into place until tight – do not over-tighten.
7. Place Hopper Plate on Head and fix into position, then set the unit on a firm surface.

Mincing Meat:

1. Ensure the switch is off before plugging in.
2. Plug the power cord into the appropriately rated outlet.
3. Before use, wash all parts (excluding those that do not touch food) in warm soapy water.
4. Cut all food into pieces so that they fit easily into the plate opening.
5. Switch the unit on.
6. Feed food product into the plate using the food pusher.

Cleaning and Maintenance

NOTE: To maintain cleanliness and increase service life, the meat grinder should be cleaned daily. Do not immerse the unit in water or any other liquid. If liquid enters the electrical compartment, it may cause a short circuit or electrical shock.

Disassembling:

1. Before cleaning or attempting to move, ensure the switch is off, the motor has stopped completely, and then disconnect the plug from the power outlet.
2. The Screw Cap has 3 flat sides, convenient for unscrewing. If the screw cap is too tight, tap the flat sides with a soft handle. The cap should unscrew easily.
3. Unscrew the locking knob and take out the head (with cutting plate, cutting blade, and feed screw). Then, put the head mouth downward to take out the cutting plate, cutting blade, and feed screw.

Cleaning:

1. Remove meat product.
2. Wash each part with warm soapy water. After washing and drying, lubricate the feed screw, cutting blade, and cutting plates.
3. Do not immerse the motor housing in water. Wipe with a damp cloth.
4. To avoid damage, do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
5. If soap or chemical cleaners are used, be sure they are completely rinsed away with clear water immediately after cleaning. Chemical residue could damage or corrode the surfaces of the unit.

Jamming

When the circuit breaker automatically stops the motor, or when the motor continues to function but no meat comes out of the cutting plate, bone or other materials may be jamming the unit. Perform the following steps:

• Switch unit off.
• Press circuit breaker to reset.
• Turn switch to reverse to clear jamming of bone or other materials. Reverse operation will continue for as long as reverse is held down.
