slices of day-old bread through the machine to insure that all parts are
working properly.
3. After each use, clean the Meat and Sausage Grinder thoroughly.
4. Do not submerge the electrical assembly in water.
5. Detach parts and wash in mild antibacterial detergent and warm water.
6. Dry parts and reassemble when ready to use.

Page 5SKU 45703
Operation
The Meat and Food Processor Grinder can be used to mince meat or fish, grate, shred, or
slice vegetables, fruits, chocolate, cheese, and nuts. It can also mill coffee beans, open
cans, form biscuits, roll dough, make Pelmeni pasta, and make sausage.
WARNING: Before changing accessories or making adjustments, always unplug the
line cord from the electrical outlet.
Motor Base Controls
The Motor Base transfers rotation from the motor to the food processing accessories.
Familiarize yourself with these illustrations that show the machine controls and basic acces-
sory attachment.

Page 6SKU 45703
Mincing Meat
1. Assemble the Mincer Assembly as illustrated below.
The Grille with the two big openings is designed to cut beef for Stroganoff, and for
sausage lard. The two other Grilles are for making fine or coarse minced meat.
The slot in the Grille center must align on the Worm Drive shaft. Do not overtighten the
Nut except in cases where the meat is very tough.
2. Separate the meat from any bones and tendons.
3. Cut the meat into 3/4 x 3/4 x 1-1/2 inch pieces.
4. Feed the pieces steadily into the Mincer, using the Pusher if necessary.
Too much force on the Pusher may cause clogging.
5. Set the Switch to speed II or III.
If the mincing rate slows down drastically, turn the machine off and unplug the unit
from the electrical outlet. Disassemble the Mincer Assembly and clean. Reassembly
and continue.
Note: The mincer accessory has a special cup-type seal that prevents moisture from entering
the motor unit, allowing you to process fresh berries, fruits and vegetables into puree or juice.
Remove all fruits pits before processing.
Mincing Dry Foods
1. Turn the machine on to the desired speed.
2. Place small portions of dry food, such as oatmeal, into the mincer.
3. After 10 minutes of mincing dry food, turn the machine off and allow it to cool down.
4. Continue mincing when the machine is cool.

Page 7SKU 45703
Processing Vegetables
1. Assemble the Grater / Slicer Assembly as illustrated below.
Select one of the Grating Cylinders:
A = Grate potatoes; apple sauce (peel apples first).
B = Shred carrots, beets, cheese, nuts, chocolate.
C = Slice Cabbage, cucumbers, potatoes, carrots.
2. Place the selected grating cylinder into the housing so that it locks firmly into place.
WARNING: Never use fingers to push food into the housing assembly. Always use the
Pusher.
3. When assembling, align the lugs on the Ring’s interior surface with the corresponding
grooves on the accessory housing, then rotate the Ring counterclockwise until it stops
(about 1/4 turn). Always use the Tray.
4. Cut the food items to a size that will freely fit through the Accessory Housing.
5. Turn the machine on to speed I or II, and begin feeding in the food items in small
amounts using the Pusher.
The Spiral will move the grated food items out through the Ring, so have a dish
underneath to collect the food.
6. When finished, turn the machine off and unplug the line cord from the electrical outlet.
7. To disassemble the grater, remove the Ring and Housing Assembly, and lightly tap on
the protruding Axle.

Pastry Profiling
1. Assemble the Pastry Assembly as illustrated below.
2. Place the Washer on the Worm Drive and Mincer accessory, instead of cutter and
grille.
3. Match the Washer slot with the Housing lug and secure it with the Nut.
4. Set the Plate profile openings into the Washer slots and match the necessary profile
openings with the Washer opening.
5. Roll out the dough into rolls that will easily pass through the funnel, and evenly feed
them into the Housing (Do not use the Pusher).
6. Turn on the machine to the desired speed, I, II, or III.
7. Cut the outcoming strips of dough into pieces and lay them on a baking tray.
8. When finished, turn the machine off and unplug the line cord from the electrical outlet.

Page 9SKU 45703
Making Sausage
1. Assembly the Sausage Making Accessory as illustrated below.
2. Place the Washer on the Worm Drive and Mincer accessory, instead of cutter and
grille.
3. Fit the Cone onto the Housing, matching the Washer Cone slots with the Housing lug,
and secure it with the Nut.
4. Prepare the sausage mixture and season to taste.
5. Soak the sausage skin in warm water to give it elasticity.
6. Slide the skin onto the Cone, leaving 1/2 inch of overhang.
7. Place the sausage meat onto the Tray, then turn on the machine to the desired speed.
8. Using the Pusher, insert the sausage into the Housing funnel until the sausage
appears at the end of the Cone. Shut the machine off.
9. Tie a knot at the skin end, then push the knot back tight against the end of the Cone.
This is to eliminate any pockets of air that may be trapped under the skin.
10. Turn the machine on again, and continue to feed the sausage meat into the funnel
until the skin is full. Shut the machine off.
Note: To avoid over stretching of the skin, do not make the sausage meat too fatty.
11. Remove the skin end from the Cone and tie a knot.
12. Make the sausages into the desired length by pinching and twisting the skin where
needed.

Adapter Replacement
When processing food, if something hard enters the grinder and stops the accessory from
moving, it can damage many internal parts. To prevent overload damage, a plastic Adapter
gear is used between the motor and the accessory. When a jam occurs, the Adapter may
break as a safety measure. Extra Adapters are provided with your machine. Follow these
instructions to replace it.
1. Remove the accessory housing to expose the Adapter (see illustrations below).
2. Use the Adapter Hook or bent paper clip, and insert it into the Adapter slot.
3. Pull the Adapter off the Worm Drive.
4. Replace the damaged Adapter with a new one.
5. Replace the accessory housing.
