Grinder
1. Insert the auger into the cutter housing, plastic
end rst.
Place the knife onto the auger. The at edge of
the knife should be ush to the grinder plate.
Place the medium grinding plate or coarse grind-
ing plate, depending on the consistency you
prefer, onto the auger. (Make sure the notch of
the grinding disc ts onto the projections of the
grinder head.)
Turn the screw ring in the direction of the ar-
row onto the cutter housing until it is properly
fastened.
2. Attach the cutter housing to the motor unit.
3. Place the tray on the upright part of the cutter
housing.

Grinding
Cut the meat into small pieces. Remove bones,
pieces of gristle and sinews as much as possible.
(Never use meat that is frozen solid!)
Put the meat in the tray. Use the pusher to gently
push the meat into the cutter housing. (For steak
tartare, grind the meat with the medium grinding
disc twice.)

loose so that the appliance can begin running again.

Making Sausages:
1. After grinding the meat, insert the auger into
the cutter housing, inserting the plastic end rst.

and screw the ring on the cutter housing.
2. Attach the cutter housing to the motor unit.

housing.

sages.
