• Introduction

Congratulations! You have purchased an electric grinder distrubuted by a company with 30 years experience in creating products for making homemade sausage. The materials used will give you years of trouble-free service, provided that you carefully follow the use and maintenance instructions in this manual. Please remember that this grinder must always be monitored by a qualified operator when in use.

Great tasting sausage, like most foods, depends on the freshness of the ingredients. To ensure that yours has the best flavor possible, the meat should be ground the same day that the ingredients are added. The equipment used to prepare it should be thoroughly cleaned before use. For best results, both the meat and the meat hopper should be chilled before grinding to preserve freshness. For more tips on how to get the best performance from this machine, we recommend that you purchase a complete book on meat handling. The most thorough text of this subject is Great Sausage Recipes and Meat Curing by Rytek Kutas. This book is available on our website as well as through many bookstores and some local libraries.

This appliance is equipped with a three position switch: On, Forward and Reverse. The grinder has the capacity to grind about 400 lbs. of meat per hour. Results may vary depending on the cut of meat, meat temperature and other variables.

ONLY OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE AFTER YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE INSTRUCTIONS. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS, CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER.

1. Wash all parts that will contact the meat before using.
2. Chill the meat tray and auger in a refrigerator for 30 minutes prior to use.
3. Make certain that the meat is well chilled prior to grinding.
4. Place grinder on a dry flat surface.

6. Hold the head in place with one hand and turn the locking knob clockwise to tighten.
7. Place the auger into the grinding head with the pin facing out.
8. Place the knife on the pin with the flat face of the knife facing out.
9. Place the grinding plate on the pin.
10. Screw the collar onto the grinding head until tight. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN AS THIS MAY DAMAGE THE KNIFE, PLATE AND GRINDER MOTOR.
11. Place the meat tray on top of the grinder housing. NEVER OPERATE THIS GRINDER WITHOUT THE TRAY IN PLACE.
12. Cut meat into strips small enough to fit in the tray opening.
13. Push the meat with plastic meat pusher. NEVER PUSH MEAT INTO THE GRINDER WITH YOUR FINGERS.
14. If the grinder jams due to overloading or hard materials in the auger or knife, switch the unit to reverse. If the jam does not clear, turn the unit off, unplug it and disassemble to clear.
15. If the meat is not dispensing evenly, check the tightness of the collar. If the meat forms a paste, check the knife and sharpen it if needed.

Your grinder has been designed to give you years of trouble-free service, provided that it is properly maintained.

1. After each use, unplug the grinder and disassemble it. Do not try to clean it while it is still plugged in.
2. Wipe down the motor housing with a good cleaner or detergent. If possible, avoid scouring the surface as this will mar the finish.
3. Wash the non-electrical parts in hot soapy water.
4. Allow to dry thoroughly before reassembling the grinder.
