14.Discontinue use if plug or outlet is hot. It is recommended that the outlet be replaced if plug or outlet is hot to the touch.

FOR SAFETY, DISCONNECT GRINDER WHEN NOT IN USE:

Do not operate unit without meat. Do not overload unit when grinding. When grinder is turned off, cooling fan will no longer operate. Do not touch housing during cool down period. Housing will take a few minutes to cool down after unit is turned off. Store unit in a cool dry area.

CIRCUIT BREAKER INFORMATION:

Your LEM grinder is equipped with a circuit breaker to protect the unit. In the event of a power disruption, abnormal operation or over heating, the motor will temporarily shut down to prevent damage. If this should happen, follow the seven steps listed below.

Step 1: Turn On/Off switch to off.

Step 2: Unplug unit.

Step 3: Check inside of grinding unit and remove any obstruction.

Step 4: Wait 1 or 2 minutes, then plug unit into wall outlet again.

Step 5: Push Restart Button and release. (Located on back panel of grinder.)

Step 6: Turn switch on.

Step 7: Resume Operation.

TROUBLE SHOOTING:

If your unit fails to operate, contact LEM Products technical assistance toll free at 1-877-536-7763.

If meat is mashing instead of extruding in strings from the grinding plate, chill the meat to 40°, and check to see that the plate and blade are properly installed. For an overheated plug or grinder housing discontinue use and contact technical assistance toll free at 1-877-536-7763.

This product is equipped with a polarized AC (Alternating Current) plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. (If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug, if it still does not fit, contact a qualified individual to install the proper outlet. DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THIS POLARIZED PLUG IN ANY WAY.

ASSEMBLY: (See Diagram, Page 6)

1. BEFORE USING: Wash all parts of the head in hot soapy water. This will remove any grease

residue and dirt left from the manufacturing process. DO NOT PUT PARTS IN DISHWASHER.

2. Remove retaining ring (#8), grinding plate (#7), knife (#6) and screw feeder (#4) from the head

(#1). Be sure that the locking screw (not shown) on side of motor coupler is back all the way out.

Insert head into the motor coupler with the flat portion of the head’s collar positioned directly

under the locking bar of the motor coupler. Turn the head to the left so the locking bar fits into

the slot in the collar of the head. Tighten the locking screw against head of collar.

3. Insert screw feeder (#4) into head and turn until the worm gear drive slips into the flat shaft

of the motor.

4. Place the knife (#6) on square auger stud (#5) of screw feeder (#4) with blades facing out.

5. Place grinding plate (#7) on screw feeder stud in front of knife. Make sure notch in plate is on locating stud in head. (Cutting edge of knife should be facing and flush against the grinder plate.)

6. Screw retaining ring (#8) on head until tight. Hand-tighten as tight as you can. Do not over-tighten. Over-tightening will cause undo wear on the knife and plate of the grinder. If ring is not tight enough, meat may mash instead of being cut by the knife. A dull knife or plate will also cause mashing of the meat. If mashing occurs, disassemble the grinder, remove all meat from grinder and plate, reassemble grinder and tighten ring tighter than it was previously before beginning to grind meat again.

7. Insert meat pan (#9) into head securely.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

GRINDING: When making burger from wild game, add a minimum of 10% pork fat to the meat.

This will give the burger moisture, but still not make it fatty. If pork fat is not available, use beef fat.

Never use beef suet. Suet is too hard and the burger will be cooked before the suet melts causing suet particles to remain in the burger.

Cut meat into small pieces that will easily fit into the throat of the grinder head. Meat should be 40° or colder and free of gristle and sinew. Feed meat slowly into the throat of the head. Use the meat stomper to push meat into the throat of the head. Do not force meat. NEVER USE FINGERS

TO PUSH MEAT INTO THE HEAD. Grind meat through the coarse plate first, turn motor off and unplug the grinder. Then, remove the coarse plate and clean the head of sinew, fat or gristle that has accumulated during the first grind. Assemble the unit with the fine plate, plug grinder in and regrind the meat. If meat mashes instead of coming through the plate in “strings”, see #6 under assembly section in this manual.

STUFFING SAUSAGE CASINGS: When making sausage, use at least 20% fat with your meat and grind it like burger. Mix the seasoning with the meat after the first grind and grind a second time.

For a coarser grind, grind the meat through the 3/16” plate once, then mix the seasoning with the meat. Unplug the grinder, remove the grinder knife and plate. Install the stuffing plate (#12) in place of the knife and plate. Put stuffing tube in front of stuffing plate and secure with the retaining ring. Slide casings onto stuffing tube making sure to leave the end of the tube open. Turn grinder on and feed meat into the head until meat is at the end of the stuffing tube. Stop grinder and pull casing out past the opening of stuffing tube about 1”. Tie a knot in the casing. Restart grinder.

This procedure will keep the casing from filling up with air when you first start stuffing. Continue to feed meat into head until the casing is filled.

CLEANING: Unplug grinder and disassemble the grinder head. Wash all parts in hot, soapy water and thoroughly rinse in hot water. Allow parts to dry completely. Spray parts with food-grade silicone to prevent rust and keep your grinder in like new condition.
