SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CLEANING

Before first use and after every use hand wash all parts of the grinder in hot soapy water to remove the protective oil coating or meat residue. DO NOT PLACE ANY PART OF THE GRINDER IN THE DISHWASHER.

Rinse with hot water and immediately hand dry. It is a good idea to spray your grinder plates, knife and roller bearings with silicone spray.

This will help keep your plates and knife in like new condition and prevent rust from forming.

PREPARING THE GRINDER

Bolt the grinder to a sturdy board (food grade cutting board works well) that can be easily cleaned. After the grinder is bolted to a board securely fasten the board to your work surface. Assemble the grinder as pictured in the schematic.

Be certain to check the bushing is installed in the back of the grinder and the washers and roller bearings are installed on the back of the auger. Position the knife onto the auger stud with the sharp edges of the knife facing out. Add your choice of grinder plate by lining up the locating pin with the notch in the plate. With the bushing, washers, bearings, knife and plate properly installed the grinder plate will stick out past the end of the head approximately 1/8” -3/16”.

Screw on the retaining ring, just hand tight. DO NOT over tighten. An over tightened retaining ring will cause excessive wear on the knife and plate. Under tightening will cause the meat to mash instead of cut. If mashing or smearing occurs tighten the retaining ring slightly. If mashing/smearing continues, disassemble the grinder, clean out the meat and other residue from the plates and knife and reassemble. If it continues plate and knife may be dull and need to be replaced.

WARNING

When feeding food into the grinder

DO NOT push food into the auger with your fingers – Serious injury could occur.

HELPFUL HINTS

When making burger for wild game add a minimum of 10% pork fat. This will give the burger moisture without making it fatty.

When making sausage add at least 20% fat with the meat and grind like burger. This will make for a juicy sausage.

After grinding run a few pieces of bread through the grinder. This will make clean up easier.
