• Do not touch the moving parts.
• Only use parts and attachments recommended by the manufacturer.
• This appliance is not intended for use by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory, or

Features
Powerful copper motor: this appliance is equipped with a powerful motor for quick and efficient
grinding.
Dual safety switches: designed with maximum safety in mind, the two switches must always be in
the same position in order for the unit to operate, preventing accidental operation.
Cutting plates: the three included cutting plates allow you to customize the coarseness of the meat,
according to preference.
FDA approved, ETL certified: All parts used in this meat grinder are FDA approved and ETL certified,
so you can have peace of mind knowing that anything processed through the meat grinder is safe for
consumption.
Reversal function: as clogging can be an issue with any meat grinder, this model has been equipped
with a reversal function specifically designed to remove blockages in the unit.
1. Set both switches to the R position. This will reverse the rotation of the auger and blade to help
to remove the blockage.
2. Unplug the unit and clean the meat out of the head of the unit.
Before First Use
1. Ensure the voltage on the rating label corresponds with the voltage you use at home.
2. Wash each part of the unit and all accessories in warm soapy water. Do not submerge the main
body in water; wipe with a damp cloth.
3. Before plugging in the unit, check that both switches are in the OFF position.

Assembly
1. Place the unit on a flat and solid surface.
2. Insert the head into the head inlet (figure 1). Turn the
tightening knob clockwise until the head is securely in
place (figure 2).
3. Place the auger into the head, long end first. Turn it
slightly until it sets into the motor housing (figure 3).
4. Place the blade onto the end of the auger with the sharp
flat edge facing outward (figure 4).
5. Place the desired cutting plate over the blade, fitting the
protrusions into the slots (figure 5).
6. While holding down the cutting plate, screw the fixing
ring tightly onto the head. Be careful not to overtighten
(figure 6).
7. Place the hopper plate on top of the head and fix it into
position (figure 7).
NOTE: always keep the air vents located on the front and
back of the body unobstructed.
Mincing meat
1. Cut the meat into pieces about 1–2 inches in thickness.
For best results, use meat without sinew, bone, or fat.
2. Set the small switch on back of the unit to the ON position. Then set the large switch to the ON
position. This will cause the auger and blade to rotate in a clockwise direction.
3. Place the meat into the hopper plate, feeding it through with the food pusher.
4. When finished, set the large switch to the O position.
5. Unplug the unit.
NOTE: Only push the meat through with the food pusher. Never use bare hands.
