HOW TO ASSEMBLE YOUR FOOD GRINDER
NOTE: Before using first time,
disassemble and wash GRINDING
CHUTE parts thoroughly. See page 5
for cleaning instructions.
1. Hold GRINDING CHUTE as
shown. Insert FEED SCREW into
GRINDING CHUTE (fig. 1).
2. Slide spring over shaft and into
end of FEED SCREW (fig. 2).
3. Place the ROTARY CUTTER
KNIFE on FEED SCREW SHAFT
so that the sharp edge is toward
the CHOPPING CUTTER DISC.
Be sure KNIFE rests fully on
SPRING (fig. 3).
4. Place either the grinding or
CHOPPING CUTTER DISC on
shaft. ”Ears” of cutter must fit in notches of GRINDING CHUTE (fig. 4).
5. Screw RING COLLAR until tight against CUTTERS. If it binds, back up and start
again until COLLAR screws on easily. The last turn is harder as the SPRING is
compressed (fig. 5). NOTE: when properly assembled, SHAFT will protrude
from CUTTER DISC. If not tightened securely, unit will not grind properly. Use
WRENCH to tighten if necessary.

recipes.

baby food, etc.

CHUTE. Do not operate without FOOD PLATFORM

7. Place GRINDING CHUTE at a right angle to POWER
UNIT and insert shaft as shown. You can feel
GRINDING CHUTE fit into place. Rotate GRINDING
CHUTE into position as far as it will go (fig. 7).

is not in place.

1. Position on counter. Plug into 120 volt AC outlet.
2. Place shallow wide bowl under GRINDING CHUTE to catch food.
3. Cut food into strips or cubes just smaller than the opening on GRINDING CHUTE.
4. Turn motor on. (NOTE: Always turn grinder “ON” before adding food.)
5. Place food onto FOOD PLATFORM. Feed food into the GRINDING CHUTE with
the FOOD PUSHER slowly and evenly. Most food will feed into grinder without
force.
If pressure is required, use FOOD PUSHER. Push gently – do not force.
CAUTION: Do not feed by hand. Use the FOOD PUSHER provided. Keep fingers
away from the CUTTERS while operating.
HOW TO USE YOUR FOOD GRINDER

removing parts, and before cleaning.

1. With unit unplugged, remove GRINDING CHUTE from power unit by turning
slightly to the right. Pull GRINDING CHUTE out.
2. Unscrew RING COLLAR. Remove CUTTER DISC, ROTARY CUTTER KNIFE,
SPRING and FEED SCREW from the GRINDING CHUTE SHAFT.
3. Wash these components, including GRINDING CHUTE, in hot soapy water.
Rinse and dry thoroughly. Parts should not be washed in dishwasher.
4. The CUTTER DISCS and CUTTER KNIFE should be coated with cooking oil after
washing to keep them lubricated and rust free.
