4. Операција

4.1. Meat Preparation

• For best results, ensure meat is very cold, almost frozen, but not solid. This helps prevent smearing and ensures a clean cut.
• Cut meat into 1-1/2 inch cubes or strips. This size is optimal for feeding and reduces the chance of sinew wrapping around the auger.
• Trim excess sinew and gristle from the meat before grinding to prevent clogging and improve grind quality.

2. Turn on the grinder using the power button. The motor offers push-button forward and pulse reverse functionality.
3. Place a collection bowl or container under the grinding head.
4. Carefully feed the prepared meat into the feed tube using the meat stomper. Никада не користите прсте или други прибор да бисте гурали месо у машину за млевење меса.
5. Feed meat gently and consistently. The grinder can process approximately 2-3 pounds of meat per minute.
6. If the grinder jams, use the pulse reverse function briefly to clear the obstruction. If the jam persists, unplug the unit and disassemble to clear the blockage.
