quantities, it is important to note that fats can build up
inside the grinding head , decreasing your grinder’s
efficiency. If this occurs, dismantle the appliance, wash
all attachments in hot soapy water and reassemble.
• Handle meat lightly to prevent compacting.
• Refrigerate ground meat immediately and cook within 24
hours. If freezing, use within a maximum of 2 months.
