If the motor stops, this may be due to jammed food. Immediately 

switch the appliance to its off position and unplug it from outlet. 

Press the reset button on the bottom cover to reset. To clear the 

feed screw, “pulse” the meat grinder in the reverse direction and 

releasing it quickly three times. Then, turn the meat grinder on again. 

If the appliance should get jammed again, you may need to switch 

it off, unplug, disassemble the grinder/feeder head, and clean the 

internal parts. Press the reset button before turning the meat grinder 

on again.

Important

: Always switch the unit to its off position before pressing

HELPFUL HINTS

•   Grinding stale bread pieces may help remove food residue left  

in the appliance after use.

•   Cut food into strips or cubes slightly smaller than the opening  

on the large die-cast hopper.

•   Make sure food is free of bone, tough tendons, nutshells, etc. 

before grinding.

•   Raw meat and fish should be thoroughly chilled (not frozen) 

before grinding to reduce the loss of juices.

•   Freshly ground meat should be refrigerated and cooked within  

24 hours.

•   During extended grinding, fats from meats can build up inside 

the grinder tube, slowing down grinding and straining the motor. 

If this happens, you should stop the appliance, wash parts in hot 

water, and reassemble. When possible, alternate bread with meat. 

This helps keep the feed screw clean.

•   Trim a handful of fat from meat. Process the fat through the 

hopper to lubricate grinding mechanism for better  

processing results.

•   For best drying results, prepare sausage a day or two prior  

to use.
