ASSEMBLING THE GRINDER FOR THE FIRST TIME
1.
Always make sure the grinder is not plugged in during assembly.
2. Place the motor housing on a clean, dry, smooth, horizontal surface.
3. Insert the assembled grinder assembly (which includes items 1 to 5) into the opening of the
motor housing. Make sure the locking knob (11) screw is fully retracted and does not interfere
with the insertion. Slightly twist the grinder head back and forth to ensure it seats properly
into the motor housing. Tighten the locking knob snugly until the grinder head is properly
secured in the motor housing. Do not overtighten the locking knob.
4. Place the hopper (7) on top of the feed/grinder tube (5).
5. Insert the food pusher (6) into the hopper opening.
DISASSEMBLING AND RE-ASSEMBLING
1.
Make sure unit is turned off and unplugged.
2. Remove the food pusher (6) and lift off the hopper (7).
3. Remove the grinder head assembly from the motor housing by first loosening the locking
knob (11) and then, with a slight back and forth twisting motion, pull out the grinder
head assembly.
4. While firmly holding the grinder head assembly, loosen and remove the locking ring.
(Tip: it may be easier to loosen the locking ring while grinder is fully assembled.)
5. Carefully remove the grinding plate (2). (Caution! The holes have sharp edges.) Observe that
the grinding plate has a half circle notch which aligns with a similarly shaped key in the feed/
grinding tube.
6. Next, carefully remove the cutting blade (3). (Caution! The blade has very sharp edges.)
Observe that the flat sides of the cutting blades face and are adjacent to the grinding plate.
It is extremely important that when re-assembling the grinder head, the cutting blade be
properly positioned. Failing to do so may damage the unit.
7. Now, pull out the auger (4).
8. To assemble the grinder head, follow the above steps in reverse.
NOTE: DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN LOCKING RING
Before using the grinder for the first time, lift the food hopper from the feed tube and then remove
the grinder assembly from the motor housing and disassemble it (as described above) for cleaning.
Wash the locking ring, grinding plate, cutting blade, auger, feed/grinding tube, food pusher and
hopper in warm soapy water. Blow away water from the holes in the grinding plate. (Tip: A hair dryer
works very effectively, but do not use the "high" heat setting.) Coat the grinding plate, cutting blade
locking ring and auger sparingly with vegetable oil or other USDA approved food grade lubricant.
After re-assembling the grinder assembly, insert it into the motor housing and place the hopper
on top of the feed tube. Insert the food pusher into the hopper opening. Make sure all parts are
in the correct position and properly secured.
The Power switch for the grinder has four positions. Placing the power switch in the number
1 position runs the grinder at a low speed intended for sausage stuffing. Position 2 on the
power switch runs the grinder at full speed intended for most grinding. "REV" puts the motor
temporarily in reverse for clearing jams. In the Off position, the grinder is powered off.
1.
Make sure the power switch is in the "OFF" position.
2. Insert plug into a 120V, 60Hz, power outlet.
3. Place a sufficiently large bowl under the grinder assembly.
4. Place the food into the hopper, but do not start to feed it into the feed/grinder tube until the
unit is turned on. Food should be cut into strips or cubes (see "Tips" on page 7).
5. Turn the switch to the "2" position and the grinder will operate at full speed. Start feeding
food into feed tube as soon as possible.
6. Use the food pusher to feed the food through the hopper opening into the feed/grinder tube.
