To Use Food Grinder Attachment
Rotating Blade Hazard ! Always use food pusher ! Keep fingers out of openings.

- Cut food into small strips or pieces and feed them into hopper. Meat should be cut into long narrow strips/ cubes.
- Turn mixer to Speed 4/5 and feed food into hopper using the food pusher.
Coarse Plate – Idea for grinding raw of cooked meats, firm vegetables,
dried fruits and cheese
Medium Plate –Idea for grinding raw meat, cooked meats for spreads and
break crumbs.
Fine Plate – Idea for grinding meat for fine grind for casing and curing, or
raw meat without fat, no any tendons.
Grinding Meat – For better mix and more tender results, grind beef twice. Best
texture results from grinding very cold or partially frozen meat. Frozen fatty
meats should be ground only once. Recommend less fatty.
Grinding Bread – To grind bread for crumbs, be sure that bread is either oven
dried thoroughly to remove all moisture, or not dried at all . Partially dried
bread may jam the Food Grinder.
NOTE : Very hard, dense foods such as totally dried homemade bread should
not be ground. Homemade bread should be ground fresh and then oven or air-
dried.
Stuffing Sausage -With additional accessories-Sausage Stuffer Tube, FGA
can become a sausage stuffer. Assembly sequence as below picture-Grind Worm
(A), Blade (C), Kidney Grind Plate (H), Stuffer Tube and Locking Ring(E)
Highly recommend following steps to stuff sausage:
No Need to Grind Meat double times, Only One Time! From grinding meat directly
to stuffing sausage at the same time.
- Cut raw meat to short narrow cubes
- Mix Sausage seasonings and other ingredients together withthe cut meat (from 1st step)
- Freeze the Mixed meat with seasonings (from 2nd step) for a while, or just put it aside for a few minutes to let water drained.
- Then put the waterless or partially frozen meat on food tray to stuff sausage directly.
Therefore do NOT need to grind the meat firstly before stuffing the sausage.

all FGA parts.
