IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE USE
A word from the Eclipse Grinder: If you take care of me I’ll take care of you. I have been designed for home use only. I am not suitable for grinding bones or any hard foods. Please only use me for grinding meat flesh. If you decide to grind harder foods, do so at your own risk. Like all home-style Meat Grinders, I can run continuously for 10 minutes, and then I’ll need to rest for 20 minutes. Please think of me like a blender, I do make noise and I am designed for short bursts of power to turn your fresh cuts of meat, fish, etc. into healthy mince, sausages and burgers Thank you for your cooperation in advance.

Operation

BASIC ASSEMBLY STEPS

MINCING MEAT

Place the Meat Grinder body, facing you on a level, dry surface.
Fit the grinding screw inside the head.
Fit the Four blade over the grinding screw ensuring that the flat side of the blade faces the cutting plate, away from the grinding screw.
Fit the cutting plate (depending on the texture of mince you require).
The fixing ring then fits over the cutting plate and screws into place.
Align the head into the grinder body. Press down on the quick release lock until the head is firmly locked into position.
NOTE:
The head can be fixed into the grinder body prior to the accessories being attached if desired and as shown on page 9.
Before use, ensure all elements are securely in place.
Place a bowl underneath the fixing ring for mince collection and the hopper plate on top of the head.
Place prepared meat into the hopper plate. Plug the power cord into a power outlet and turn control dial to the ON position.
Using the food pusher, gently push meat through the head.
NOTE:
Do not use excessive force to push meat through the head as it could damage the appliance.
IMPORTANT:
Do not turn on the grinder without having meat ready to process in the hopper plate. When minced meat stops flowing out of the cutting plate, switch off the grinder immediately. The grinder should never be running without meat being processed through it.
When grinding is complete, turn the dial to the off position to stop grinder.

CAUTION:
Do not use anything else apart from the food pusher supplied with this meat grinder to push meat through the head. NEVER use your hands or fingers to push meat through the head.

COARSE GRINDING FOR CHUNKY MEAT AND PET FOOD:
We have developed our Two Blade cutting blade and our Coarse/Sausage Plate for two purposes. Firstly, using the Two Blade and the Coarse/Sausage Plate to process meat, helps to create even & chunky meat pieces, perfect for pet food. The Two Blade and the Coarse/Sausage Plate is also used for sausages to create an effortless flow when making homemade sausages

Hints & Tips

HINTS FOR GRINDING MEAT

Remove all large pieces of fat from meat before grinding.
For fatty cuts of meat we recommend that you cut meat into 5cm cubes.
We also recommend using the 8mm or 12mm cutting plate for fatty cuts of meat. If the 3mm or 5mm cutting plates are used and there is excess fat in the meat it can cause the fat to block the grinder head. This should be avoided.
For lean cuts of meat; cut into strips approximately 15cm long and 5cm thick or into cubes.
Remove any bones from meat as this may damage the grinder.
If changing cutting plates or changing to another attachment, always ensure that any meat that is around the fixing ring or blade is removed. This will ensure that all parts will reassemble and operate correctly.
Minced meat should be used within 1-2 days. Freeze uncooked mince that will not be used within this time frame. For the best storage solution, we recommend vacuum sealing your mince before freezing in a Luvele vacuum sealer.
Mince can be frozen for 2-3 months.
Thaw mince in refrigerator overnight, DO NOT refreeze uncooked meat.
When cooking mince it needs to be cooked thoroughly. Mince that has been used for hamburgers or meat patties should be cooked until well done.

HINTS FOR SAUSAGE MAKING

Salt is an important component of sausage making. It is responsible for the control of the growth of micro-organisms. It also aids in dissolving the myosin (protein) out of the muscle fibers which then acts as a glue to bind the meat.
Freshly made sausages are better when allowed to sit in the refrigerator for a minimum of 12 hours and for up to 24 hours.
Fresh sausages are highly perishable products as they do not contain the preservatives that are present in most store-bought sausages. They should be cooked or frozen within 2-3 days of being made.
Ideally, sausages should contain up to 30% fat content to provide a tender and moist product.
Sausages should be thoroughly cooked to kill all microbes. Internal temperatures must reach 70-75°c.
Intentional piercing of sausage skin releases much-needed moisture but prevents the sausage from possibly splitting and being disfigured.

Things to look for when making sausages:

Choose good quality ingredients – Fat to meat ratio (30:70) – Spices and seasoning should be combined in amounts that compliment the meat type.
Casings (skin) can be purchased from butchers that supply your fresh meat.
If preserved in salt, it should be soaked in lukewarm water for up to 30 minutes before use. Flush skins with cold water to expel excess salt.
Unused fresh casings must be drained, covered with salt, and frozen.
Sausages should be stored in an airtight container or sealed with cling film in the refrigerator.
A good way to make sure that all the sausage mince has come through the mincer is to break up 1-2 slices of bread and push through the mincer, this will force any remaining mixture into the casing.
Gentle cooking over medium heat prevents the interior from boiling which in turn bursts the skin, leaking out moisture and flavor. This then produces a hard textured product.

Cleaning

When you have completed grinding, unplug the meat grinder from the power outlet. Ensure that all accessories and attachments are washed thoroughly with hot, soapy water. Stainless Steel parts can be washed in a dishwasher.

WARNING:
Do not place any aluminum parts of the Grinder in a dishwasher, this includes the hopper plate, fixing ring and head.

WARNING:
Do not soak any aluminum parts of the Grinder. Wash by hand in warm soapy water and thoroughly dry immediately.

To remove meat that is stuck in the fine and medium cutting plates, use hot, soapy water and a scrubbing brush, clean thoroughly. Ensure that all attachments are thoroughly cleaned and free of meat to prevent contamination. Then dry thoroughly before storing.

IMPORTANT:
Take care in washing all attachment components to ensure that there are no food particles left in/around the cutting plates, sausage/kebbe making attachments, blade and grinding screw.

NOTE:
Always unplug the grinder to clean. Do not wash/immerse the grinder body in water – clean the body by wiping it down using a damp cloth.
