Hints and Tips
■ When carrying the unit, be sure to hold motor housing
with both hands. Do not hold or carry by the hopper
plate.
■ Make sure all parts are tightly assembled. Loose parts
will cause food to get caught and clog up the grinder.
■ Always turn the unit ON before inserting food.
■ Process a small amount of fat from the meat through the
meat grinder before grinding to lubricate the grinding
mechanism.
■ Cut food into strips or cubes slightly smaller than the
opening on the feeding tube.
■ Do not grind hard foods such as bones.
■ Do not grind ginger and other materials with hard fiber.
■ Do not use the unit for more than 20 minutes without
interruption. If longer use is necessary, allow unit to cool
down thoroughly before reusing it.
■ To avoid jamming, do not apply excessive pressure while
operating.
■ Grinding bread pieces may help to remove food residue
left in the meat grinder after use.
■ Chill meat before grinding to reduce the loss of juices.
■ Refrigerate ground meat immediately and cook within 24
hours.
■ Make sure food is free of bone, tough tendon, nutshells,
etc. before grinding.
■ Do not use food pusher on bread crumbs. They will feed
themselves.
■ When making bread crumbs, only use the coarse grinding
disc.
■ Never try to undo the parts or to repair the unit by
yourself, contact Keystone Manufacturing Company, Inc.
■ When switching from ON to OFF then to REVERSE or
vice versa, wait about 6 seconds to assure that the motor
has stopped completely.
■ To maintain the freshness of your ground meat for up to
five times as long as traditional food storage methods,
it is recommended that you use one of Deni’s vacuum
sealers or vacuum packaging systems. To order, or for
more information, call 1-800-DENI-VAC.
Troubleshooting
■ Meat Grinder shut off or no meat is coming out.
The unit may be jammed. Shut it OFF. Press “R” on both
switches to clear jamming of bone or other materials.
NOTE: Reverse operation will continue for as long as the
button is pressed. Unplug the unit and follow cleaning
instructions. Re-assemble. Never force food through the
meat grinder.
