LANDIG FL0050 Meat Grinder

Mince, just glorious!
The right meat mincer opens up new possibilities for preparing venison because minced game meat is versatile and something for true gourmets. Making full use of the game is what counts here, because unpopular venison parts such as neck, shoulder, sections of ribs or, of course, whole pieces of the leg can also be used for this purpose. Good to know: Game can generally be processed like conventional meat. However, due to the lower fat content of the meat mass, it is advisable to add a certain amount of fat from domestic pig or wild boar. This makes for a juicy taste and better binding. The great feature: With the associated sausage filling funnel, the meat mincer can also be ideally used as a sausage filler.

The new mincer pack

Developed from decades of experience in the field of meat processing, with an eye for important details. For precise and hygienic work with maximum efficiency.
Good hunting and good luck!
Aaron, Andreas, Christian und Manfred Landig

Safety instructions and warnings

Always follow these basic safety precautions when using electrical equipment:

IMPORTANT
Read these instructions for use as well as all warning notices and labels on the device carefully! Check the scope of delivery for damage!

Before using the meat miner, check that all parts are working properly and that they are performing their intended functions.
Check the alignment of the moving parts, the jamming of the moving parts, the assembly, and any other conditions that may affect the operation.
If parts, the power cable or the mincer attachment or motor are damaged, call customer service (see customer service page 23).
Always pull the power plug out of the socket when you are not using the device.
Also, always pull the power plug out of the socket before attaching or removing parts or accessories and before cleaning. Caution! There is an increased risk of injury!
After unplugging the power cable, turn the power switch ON and then OFF to ensure that all power has been dissipated from the device.

WARNING
Never leave the meat miner unattended while it is running!
WARNING
Never put food into the chute to the auger by hand during operation!
WARNING
Keep your fingers away from the auger and cutting blades during operation!
WARNING
Never touch moving parts – this can lead to serious injuries!

IMPORTANT
Only use the pusher supplied!

Wait until all moving parts have come to a standstill and switch off the device before removing any part from the meat mincer or switching the meat mincer into reverse operation.
Tie back any loose hair, clothing or other loose items and roll up long sleeves before operating the meat mincer.
Remove ties, rings, watches, bracelets or other jewelry before operating the device.
Never operate the device with a damaged cable or plug or after a malfunction.

WARNING
Use only the original power cable!

Do not use the device outdoors, it is only intended for indoor use.
Do not let the cable hang over the edge of a table or counter, touch sharp edges, or touch hot surfaces.
Make sure that the cable is not kinked or pinched under the appliance or that it is wrapped around the meat mincer.
Never pull on the power cable to remove the plug from the socket.
Never use an extension cable. Always connect the plug directly to a grounded socket.
This meat mincer has a grounded, three-pin plug that must be plugged directly into a grounded socket (230 volts, 50 Hz).
Grounded plugs are used in electrical equipment with a metal housing to protect the user from electrocution.

WARNING
Do not modify the plug in any way and never tear off a grounding pin from the 3-pin plug. Doing so will void your warranty and could result in electrocution.

Always place the meat mincer on a firm and stable surface.
Make sure that the device is not near the edge of the worktop where it can easily be pushed away or fall.
The gearbox case and motor cover can get hot during operation, which is normal. Do not touch these parts during operation.
To reduce the risk of accidental start-up, make sure that the controller is switched off before inserting the plug into the socket.
When storing the device, always pull the plug out of the socket, otherwise there is a risk of fire, especially if the device touches the walls or the door of the cabinet.
Never connect the meat mincer where water can get into the set-up area.
To protect yourself from the risk of fatal electrocution, never immerse the meat mincer in water or other liquids.
Make sure that the mincer attachment is disconnected from the motor block before cleaning.
Never rinse the motor block under running water; only use a damp cloth to clean it. The motor block has an anti-fingerprint finish, please do not damage it by scratching it or cleaning it too intensively with brushes or sponges.
Never operate the meat mincer with wet hands or when you are standing on a wet floor.
The use of attachments or parts not expressly sold for the device or sold by Landig will void the warranty and could result in fire, electrocution or injury.

WARNING
Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents!

Never place the device near a hot burner, in an oven or in a dishwasher.
Never use abrasive cleaning agents or abrasive cloths to clean the mincer attachment or the motor block.
Never use the meat mincer for any purpose other than that for which it was intended. Details see page 17 (intended Use).

WARNING
Never work dry! Damage caused by dry operation will void the guarantee.

Never let the meat mincer run dry for more than 10 seconds without meat in the device. The friction between the auger and the meat mincer head creates high heat,
which can cause the meat to stick to the inside of the meat mincer.
Never try to grind bones, nuts or other hard objects.
Wear eye protection, e.g. protective goggles, when working. Everyday glasses are not protective goggles. Protective goggles meet the requirements of ANSI Z87.1.
Note: Approved protective goggles are printed or stamped with Z87.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of improper use of the device. Improper use will automatically void the guarantee.
Never use the device while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Warranty

All other parts of the meat mincer are covered by a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty for defects that can be traced back to manufacturing and material defects.

Functions of the rotary switch

LANDIG-FL0050-Meat-Grinder-FIG-7

The rotary switch (A) is used to select the different operating modes:

Position 0

The meat miner is in standby mode.
Rotate the rotary switch from position 0 to position 1 to use the first forward speed.

Position 1
The first speed is recommended for the following uses:

grinding small quantities of meat
use as a sausage filler
use for making Kibbeh

Rotate the rotary switch from position 1 to position 2 to use the second forward speed.

Position 2
The second speed is recommended for classic use as a meat grinder.

Rotate the rotary switch to the position to use the reverse gear.

Position

The reverse gear is recommended for the following uses:
Open the locking ring and remove the perforated disk and the cross blade. Set the rotary switch to the position for 1 second so that the worm is automatically ejected.
To remove a blockage or in case of equipment blockage. Turn the rotary switch to position 0, wait briefly, and then turn the rotary switch to the position. The meat grinder will clear the worm again.

Assembly of the mincer attachment

WARNING
Before assembling, make sure that the device is not plugged in!

Press the locking handle on the quick-release upwards and insert the mincer attachment vertically into the inlet. The mincer attachment must be fully seated in the quick-release to push down the locking handle
Push the locking handle clockwise to the vertical position on the quick-release.
Insert the auger, aligning the auger shaft with the drive shaft of the motor block. To do so, turn the screw slightly clockwise until it slips into the recess.
Place the wing blade on the square nozzle of the auger .
The flat side points in the direction of the mincer attachment outlet. Note: The blade only fits in one direction on the nozzle of the auger.
Insert the required perforated disc size. The notch on the mincer attachment and the edges of the perforated disc must snap into place in the correct location in the mincer housing.

Tip: for a long-lasting perfect cut, use a separate wing blade for each perforated disc size.

Close the locking ring of the mincer attachment clockwise until it lightly secures the parts inside.
Insert the filler tray into the filler neck of the mincer attachment and press it down until it is firmly seated.

LANDIG-FL0050-Meat-Grinder-FIG-10

Use as a meat mincer

Insert the plug into the socket, the device is now in standby mode.
Place a practical Landig stainless steel tub under the outlet of the meat grinder attachment to collect the ground meat.

Tip: The food to be processed must be well chilled or slightly frozen. For optimal results, cut the meat into cubes with edges of approximately 3-4 cm.
Tip: The best result for very fine minced meat is achieved by using a coarse perforated disc (e.g. 8 mm) first and then a fine perforated disc (e.g. 3 mm).

Start the device by pressing the rotary switch. Turn the rotary switch from position 0 to position 1 to use the first forward speed. After a few seconds, turn the rotary switch from position 1 to position 2.
Only use the pusher to put meat/food into the filling nozzle, do not press too hard, the device pulls the meat through almost effortlessly.

WARNING
Only use the pusher to push the mass into the chute, not with your finger or any other object!
WARNING
Never run the meat mincer without meat! This can lead to damage of the device. Meat becomes a lubricant as it passes through the meat mincer. When you run out of meat, switch off the meat mincer immediately.

After finishing the grinding process, turn off the device using the on/off switch by gradually turning the rotary switch from position 2 to position 0.
Before cleaning the device, it is essential to pull the plug out of the socket. The disassembly takes place in reverse.

Use as a sausage filler

LANDIG-FL0050-Meat-Grinder-FIG-11

The procedure is identical to the assembly of the mincer attachment as a meat mincer (see page 20), only the sausage filling funnel is inserted before the locking ring.

Tip: Even if one person can fill the sausage with the meat mincer, it is advisable to carry out this process with two people. Alternative: Use Landig foot pedal from accessories.

The sausage meat to be processed must be chilled. Do not overfill the filler tray with meat, the chute to the auger must always remain free in order to have good control.
Slide a sausage skin over the filling funnel. Pull out 10-15 cm of the sausage skin at the end of the filling funnel and tie a knot in the end of the skin.

Tip: For a better result, put the artificial or natural skin in lukewarm water for about 10 minutes in advance.

Start the device by operating the rotary switch. Turn the rotary switch from position 0 to position 1 to use the first forward speed.
Now carefully fill the mass into the filling chute.
One person operates the meat mincer and pushes meat into the chute with the pusher, while the other person controls the output into the sausage skin.
When the sausage meat fills the skin/sausage sleeve, carefully place it on a clean, dry surface. Do not fill the last 10-15 cm of the skin.

Tip: Fill the skin slowly to avoid air pockets. Should air bubbles be visible in the sausage, prick the skin with the “Landig sausage poker”, the small holes will then close by themselves.

LANDIG-FL0050-Meat-Grinder-FIG-12

After the entire length of the skin has been filled, twist and tie the open end.
Twist into individual sections if desired.
After finishing the grinding process, turn off the device using the on/off switch by turning the rotary switch from position 1 to position 0.

Use for making Kibbeh

The Procedure is identical to the assembly mincer attachment as a meat grinder (see page 20), only the perforated disc in front of the locking ring is replaced by the Kibbeh attachment .
Info: Kibbeh is oriental bulgur meatballs. The balls are made of bulgur that is minced with meat and onions using the meat grinder. The Kibbeh attachment gives the balls their traditional egg shape, and the individual balls are then fried.
