                end of the spindle                        with the flat cutting side
                first.                                    facing you.

3.Rinse the parts with clear hot water; dry thoroughly. Do not wash parts in a
  dishwasher. The cutting blade and plates will rust if not dried and stored
  properly. To protect these parts, dry then coat with cooking oil; wrap in
  oil-proof paper before storing.
  Tip: To protect from rust, vacuum package the parts using a Food Saver
  vacuum packaging system.
4.Wipe motor housing with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.


HOW TO USE

  the bottom and back remain unblocked.
2.Make sure the “ON/OFF” Switch is in the “OFF” position. Insert the plug
  into the power socket.
3.Place a wide, shallow pan or plate beneath the grinder tube to catch the food.
4.Switch to the “ON” position. The grinder must always be “ON” before
  adding the food.
5.Place the food in the feeding tray and use the Food Pusher to feed the food
  one piece at a time down the tube.
6.After use, switch grinder to “OFF” and unplug from the wall.
7.Disassemble and clean all parts immediately after use.


NOTE: USING THE REVERSE SWITCH
If the motor slows or stops, this may be due to jammed food.Immediately switch
the grinder “OFF.” Press the “REVERSE” switch to push the food in the opposite
direction.Release the switch and turn the grinder “ON” again.If the grinder should
get jammed again, switch immediately to “OFF”, unplug, disassemble the grinder
head and clean the internal parts.


SELECTING CUTTING PLATES
Your George Foreman Meat Mincer set includes 3 cutting plates: FINE, MEDIUM and
COARSE. Experiment to choose the plate that best suits your tastes and recipes.
The following are suggested uses for each plate:
  FINE:      Use for ground meat for burgers or for making patés, spreads and
             baby food.
  MEDIUM: Use for ground meat used in making soups, stews or casseroles.
  COARSE: Use for ground meat used for making chili and as sausage stuffer plate.




                                          5
TIPS ON GRINDING
• Cut the food into strips or cubes slightly smaller than the opening on the
  feeding tube.
• Make sure the food is free of bone or tough tendons before grinding.
• Raw meat or fish should be well chilled (not frozen) before grinding to
  reduce the loss of juices.
• When grinding large quantities of meat, fats from the meat can build up in
  the grinder tube, slowing down the grinding efficiency and slowing the
  motor. If this happens, stop the grinder, disassemble, wash the parts in hot
  water and reassemble.


FOOD SAFETY
• Keep raw meats and their juices away from other food. Wash your hands,
  counters, and other surfaces in hot soapy water after handling raw meat.
  Don’t let raw meat juices touch ready-to-eat foods.
• Freshly ground meat should be refrigerated and cooked within 48 hours.
  Ground meats can be frozen up to 4 months.


MAKING SAUSAGES
You can make homemade sausages using the sausage stuffing attachment. All you
need is a batch of seasoned ground meat (see recipe book for ideas) and sausage
casings. You can purchase either natural or synthetic casings from your local meat
market. If purchased dry, soak in water for 1 hour, changing water several times to
remove salt; rinse thoroughly. Running water through the casings will indicate if
there are any holes in the casings.


TO ATTACH THE SAUSAGE STUFFER
1.Insert Feed Screw into Grinder Tube with the long end of the Spindle first.
2.Place Sausage Separator onto the Feed Screw.




                                           6
3. Place the Sausage Stuffer through the Screw Ring. Attach the Screw Ring to
   the end of the grinder tube, turning clockwise until tight.
4. Insert the Grinder Head into the Motor Unit opening and tighten Locking
   Knob to secure.


TO STUFF CASINGS
1. Cut the casing into 1 metre lengths.
2. Pull and gather casing over the end of stuffer
   attachment, leaving 3 or 4 inches overhanging
   the end of the attachment.
3. Place the seasoned meat in the Feeding Tray,
   turn the unit “ON” and push the meat into the
   opening using the Food Pusher.
4. As the casing begins to fill, tie a knot in the loose end, and continue to stuff
   loosely. If air bubbles appear while stuffing, prick casing with a pin to allow
   air to escape.
5. Twist casings into desired link size and shape as the meat fills it.
6. When almost filled, turn the unit “OFF”, remove the casing from the
   sausage attachment and tie a knot in the open end.
