How to use

Turn off and unplug the meat grinder before fitting the plate. Disassemble the grinder head according to the appliance manual, insert the plate into the housing so that the perforated side aligns with the cutting blade, then reassemble the unit securely. Feed chilled meat in appropriate portions through the feed tube and apply even pressure with the pusher. After use, disassemble the head, remove the plate and clean it thoroughly to avoid residue build-up.

Usage recommendations

For best grinding performance, partially freeze lean meat for 15–30 minutes and remove bones or large sinews before processing. Clean and dry the plate after each use; lubricate the exterior contact surfaces of the grinder with food-grade oil if specified by the appliance manufacturer. Replace the plate if holes become distorted or if excessive wear affects the grind consistency.
