from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used:
(1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the product;
(2) the extension cord should be arranged so that it will NOT drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.

How to make Kubbes
Kubbe is a traditional Middle Eastern appetizer comprised of a small football shaped
shell filled with meat (usually bulgur wheat and lamb). The center section is often
stuffed with spiced minced lamb filling and the ends are sealed. Kubbe is usually deep
fried resulting in a crispy outside with a delicious filling. It is time consuming to make,
but well worth the effort. This delicious treat can be frozen raw and fried straight from
the freezer.
1. Feed the mixture into the Food Tray and let the mixture extrude. The mince will roll
out as a hollow cylinder into the bowl.
2. Cut or pinch off to your desired length leaving one end open. You now have the
finished outer shell for the kubbe.
3. Stuff the interior of the shell with your choice of meat filling.
4. Seal the open end.
How to make Sausages
1. Place artificial or natural intestines onto sausage funnel.
2. Load hopper with prepared meat and feed meat into Grinder Head opening before
operating.

CLEANING &
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
Always be as thorough as possible when cleaning and sanitizing components. Any part
exposed to raw meat may harbor or develop bacteria, potentially causing illness or
death. Please follow the cleaning steps for your health.
1. Clean appliance after each use and start cleaning immediately after use. Expect
meat to leave oil and grease behind as it passes through your grinder (as well as stray
bits of meat). These will dry and crust over if given time, so don’t wait too long before
cleaning up.
2. Feed bread into the grinder. Meat left behind may be removed by passing a slice of
bread through the grinder head.
3. Before cleaning, Make sure that the motor has stopped completely and unplug the
meat grinder from the power source.
4. Disassemble the Grinder:
- Remove the Food Pusher and Food
Tray.
- Unscrew the Screw Fixing Ring and
remove all parts from the grinder head. If
Cutting Plate is difficult to remove, place
a screwdriver between the cutting plate
and the head to lift it up (FIG.14).
- Press the Fasten Button to loosened
and remove the Grinder Head (FIG.15).
5. Use Cutting Plate cleaners to clean the used Cutting Plates. Insert the Cutting Plate

push out (FIG.17).
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.

6. Soak the parts except the motorized parts. Fill a sink or bucket with warm water and
add some dish detergent. Place the disassembled parts inside once full. Let them sit for
about a quarter of an hour to loosen up any remaining grease, oil, or meat.
Warning: Do not use bleaching solutions containing chlorine as this will discolor
aluminum surfaces. Aluminum parts are NOT suitable for use in a dishwasher.
Hand wash only.
7. Wipe down the outside of the Motor Housing with a damp cloth and then a fresh one
to dry it.
Warning: Never use abrasive cleaning agents or abrasive cloths when cleaning
the unit.
8. Scrub the parts. Use a sponge to clean the Screw, Cutting Plate, and Cutting Blade.

mishandled. Switch to a bottle brush to clean the inside of the Grinder Head, Food Tray.
Rinse each part with clean water when finished
Warning: Never clean the meat grinder with a pressurized water-jet, industrial
cleaner, or any other type of cleaning utensil that could damage the surface of
the appliance.

lay them on a fresh towel or wire rack to air-dry. Avoid rust and oxidation by waiting until
they are totally dry before putting your grinder away.
MAINTENANCE
1. Oil any metal parts. Keep your grinder well lubricated and prevent rust from forming
during storage. Fill a spray bottle with food-grade mineral oil. Then mist all of your
grinder’s metal parts (excluding an electric parts) with an even coat of oil.
