4. Bedryfsinstruksies
Before operating, ensure the appliance is correctly assembled and plugged into a suitable power outlet.
4.1 Preparing Meat
- Trim all bones, gristle, and excessive fat from the meat.
- Cut the meat into pieces that fit easily into the feeding tube (approximately 2-3 cm cubes).
- For best results, chill the meat in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before grinding. This helps maintain its texture and prevents clogging.

4.2 Grinding Meat
- Place a bowl or container under the outlet of the grinding head to collect the ground meat.
- Turn the control knob to the 'ON' position. The motor will start.
- Feed the prepared meat pieces into the feeding tube. Use the food pusher to gently guide the meat down. Moet nooit jou vingers of ander gereedskap gebruik om vleis te druk nie.
- Continue feeding meat until all desired quantity is ground. The grinder can process up to 1.5 kg of meat per minute.

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your meat grinder.
- Ontkoppel: Trek die stekker altyd uit die stopcontact voordat u dit skoonmaak.
- Demonteer: Turn the grinding head clockwise to unlock and remove it from the motor unit. Disassemble all components of the grinding head: locking ring, cutting plate, cutting blade, and auger.
- Maak komponente skoon: Wash all removable parts (feeding tray, auger, blade, cutting plates, locking ring, food pusher) immediately after use in warm soapy water. Use a brush to remove any meat residue.
- Spoel en droog: Rinse all parts thoroughly with clean water. It is crucial to dry all metal parts immediately and completely to prevent rust.
- Maak motoreenheid skoon: Vee die motoreenheid af met adamp cloth. Never immerse the motor unit in water or place it under running water.
