The basic rules to follow when handling food are COOK, SEPARATE CLEAN AND CHILL.

If ground meat is not cooked to at least 160°F to 165°F (71°C to 74°C), bacteria will not be destroyed and there is a good chance you will get sick. Solid pieces of meat like steaks and chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C) (medium rare). The safe temperature for poultry is 180°F (82°C) and solid cuts of pork should be cooked to 160°F (71°C).

Always double wrap raw meats and place them on the lowest shelf in the refrigerator so there is no way juices can drip onto fresh produce. Then use the raw meats within 1 to 2 days of purchase, or freeze for longer storage. Defrost frozen meats in the refrigerator, not on the counter. When grilling or cooking raw meats or fish, make sure to place the cooked meat on a clean platter. Do not use the same platter you used to carry the food out to the grill. Wash the utensils used in grilling after the food is turned for the last time on the grill, as well as spatulas and spoons used for stir-frying or turning meat as it cooks. Make sure to wash your hands after handling raw meats or raw eggs. Washing hands with soap and water, or using a pre-moistened antibacterial towelette is absolutely necessary after you have touched raw meat or raw eggs.

The danger zone where bacteria multiply is between 40°F and 140°F (4°C and 6°C). Your refrigerator should be set to 40°F (4°C) or below; your freezer should be 0°F (17°C) or below. Simple rule: serve hot foods hot, cold foods cold. Use chafing dishes or hot plates to keep food hot while serving. Use ice water baths to keep cold foods cold. Never let any food sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours — 1 hour if the ambient temperature is 90°F (32°C) or above. When packing for a picnic, make sure the foods are already chilled when they go into the insulated hamper. The hamper won’t chill food — it just keeps food cold when properly packed with ice. Hot cooked foods should be placed in shallow containers and immediately refrigerated so they cool rapidly. Make sure to cover foods after they are cool.

This grinder uses a grounded, three prong plug (hot, neutral and ground), that should be connected directly to a grounded 120 Volt, 60 Hz three prong grounded wall outlet receptacle. Grounded plugs are used on metal-encased electric appliances in order to provide protection from an electric shock. DO NOT change or alter the plug in any way. NEVER break off a grounding prong from a 3-conductor plug. Doing so voids the warranty and can result in electric shock.

DO NOT attempt to operate the Grinder if the Grinder, Motor and Gear Box are cold. Grinder, Motor and Gear Box temperature should be at least 45°F (7°C) before beginning.

To reduce the risk of unintentional starting, check that the control is OFF before plugging the cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn the control to OFF, then remove plug from wall outlet.

NEVER plug the grinder in where water may flood the area. DO NOT operate grinder with wet hands or while standing on a wet floor.

To protect against risk of electrical shock, DO NOT submerge the grinder in water or other liquids. Be sure the grinder is disconnected from the power source before cleaning. NEVER rinse the Grinder Motor under running water, only use a moist cloth to clean the Grinder Motor Unit.

DO NOT RUN Grinder without meat in the Grinder Head. Severe damage to the Head and Auger may occur. Never turn on and run the meat grinder for more than 10 seconds dry with no meat inside the machine. The friction between the auger and grinder head will result with high heat causing the meat to stick to the inside of the grinder assembly. NEVER OPERATE DRY. Damage from dry operation will void the warranty.

The use of attachments or parts not specifically recommended or sold by the manufacturer for this grinder will void the warranty and may cause fire, electric shock or injury.

Wash all parts that have come in contact with meat in hot soapy water. BE SURE TO CLEAN IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE. DO NOT IMMERSE THE MOTOR IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS! Rinse the Grinder parts with clear hot water, then dry them IMMEDIATELY.

Fully lubricate the Head, Auger, Plates and the Knife with a food-grade silicone spray before and after each use.

Any metal parts must be coated with a food-safe silicone spray to prevent rusting; if not properly protected, these parts will begin to rust very quickly. DO NOT use rusted parts.

NEVER use abrasive cleaning agents or abrasive cloths when cleaning the grinder.

DO NOT attempt to operate the Grinder if the Grinder, Motor and Gear Box are cold. Grinder, Motor and Gear Box temperature should be at least 45°F (7°C) before beginning.

WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Wear safety glasses. Everyday eye glasses are not safety glasses. Safety glasses conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements. Note: approved safety glasses have Z87 printed or stamped on them.

TIE BACK loose hair, clothing, or any loose object and roll up long sleeves before operating the Grinder. REMOVE ties, rings, watches, bracelets, or other jewelry before operating the Grinder.

Before assembling, make sure the Grinder is not plugged in.

Step 1. Loosen the Black Grinder Head Locking Knob until the threads are not exposed inside the Motor Housing opening and insert the Grinder Head into the Motor Housing with the Feed Chute facing straight up. Turn clockwise until the slot on the top of the Grinder Head aligns with the Pin inside the Motor Housing. Be sure the Head is seated fully into the Motor Housing. Tighten the Grinder Head Locking Knob to lock the Grinder Head into place.

Insert the Auger by aligning the Auger Spline with the Drive Shaft of the Grinder. Slightly turn the auger clockwise until seats into gear housing.

Place the Cutting Knife onto the square portion of the Auger Pin. Note that the Cutting Knife is a ONE-WAY-FIT design that ensures that the flat side of the blade edges will face outward.

Place the Grinder Plate onto the Auger Pin and align the slotted notch in the Grinder Plate with the bottom notch in the Grinder Head opening. Note: The cutting plate will only fit one way and will protrude approx. 1/8″ out of the grinder head. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO ALWAYS USE THE COARSE (7mm) PLATE FOR THE FIRST GRIND.

Attach Front Head Ring Nut and turn the Front Ring Nut clockwise until it is snug against the Grinder Plate.

Place the neck of the Meat Tray into the Grinder Feed Chute Opening and press down until secure.

WARNING! Before cleaning, assembling or disassembling the Grinder, make sure the PLUG IS REMOVED FROM THE OUTLET POWER SOURCE! ALWAYS unplug the Grinder when not in use. After unplugging the unit, turn power switch ON, then OFF to ensure that all power has been discharged from the grinder.

It is recommended that two people perform this operation. One person to operate the grinder and push meat into the chute with the Stomper while the other person manages the output into the sausage casing.

TO BEGIN STUFFING:

1. Place seasoned ground meat into the Meat Tray. Do not overfill the Tray, place just enough meat to leave the Feed Chute area open.
2. Slide a sausage casing over the Stuffing Funnel.
3. Pull 4 to 6″ (10 to 15 cm) of casing out at of the end of the Stuffing Funnel Tube and tie a knot in the end of the casing.
4. Make sure the Grinder is in the “OFF” position. Attach the Grinder to the power supply.
5. Press Grinder “ON” button (on models #8 and #12) or turn Grinder Switch the to the forward “FWD” position (Models #22, #32).
6. Carefully start feeding ground meat into the Feed Chute. ONLY USE THE STOMPER TO PUSH MEAT INTO THE HEAD, DO NOT USE YOUR FINGERS OR ANY OTHER OBJECT.
7. Hold the casing in place with one hand while feeding the sausage mixture through the Grinder. As the meat fills the casing, gently lay it on a clean, dry surface.
8. Do not fill the last 4 to 6″ (10 to 15.24 cm) of casing. After the entire length of casing has been stuffed, twist the open end to close, then tie off the ends of the casing tightly to close. Twist into links if desired.
9. Whenever stuffing sausage, fill the casing slowly to avoid air pockets. If air pockets do appear in the sausage use a pin to prick the bubbles. The small holes will seal naturally.

WARNING! NEVER RUN GRINDER DRY WITHOUT MEAT! It can cause damage to the unit, Meat becomes a lubricant when passing through the grinder, if you run out of meat, trun the grinder off immediately.
