Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER?” or “WARNING.” These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

USING THE FOOD GRINDER ATTACHMENT

ASSEMBLING THE FOOD GRINDER ATTACHMENT
Before first use, clean all parts and accessories (see “Care and Cleaning” section).

Insert the Grind Screw into the Main Housing.

Place the Blade over the end of the Grind Screw.
The Blade should fit entirely inside the Housing. If it doesn’t, pull it off, turn it over, and place it again.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the sharp side of the Blade is facing out.

Place the desired Grinding Plate over the Blade, matching the notch of the plate with the tab on the bottom of the Main Housing. Place the Collar on the Main Housing, turning clockwise by hand until secured but not tightened.

ASSEMBLING THE FOOD GRINDER ATTACHMENT TO THE STAND MIXER

Turn the Stand Mixer off and unplug.

For Stand Mixers with a hinged attachment hub cover: Flip up to open.
For Stand Mixers with a removable attachment hub cover: Turn the attachment knob counterclockwise to remove attachment hub cover.

Insert the attachment shaft Housing into the attachment hub, making certain the power shaft fits into the square hub socket. If necessary, rotate the attachment back and forth. The pin on the attachment Housing will fit into the notch of the hub rim when in the  proper position.

Tighten the Stand Mixer attachment hub knob clockwise until the attachment is completely secured to the Stand Mixer.

GRINDING WITH THE FOOD GRINDER

Cut food into small strips or pieces sized to fit into the feed tube.

WARNING
Rotating Blade Hazard
Always use food pusher.
Keep fingers out of openings.
Keep away from children.
Failure to do so can result in amputation or cuts.

Turn the Stand Mixer to Speed 4 and feed food into the feed tube using the food pusher.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

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 attachment.
NOTE: Very hard, dense foods such as completely dried homemade bread and chocolate pieces should not be ground in the Food Grinder attachment. Homemade bread should be ground fresh and then oven- or air-dried.
