Operating Instructions

CAUTION: Before connecting your units to the power supply, be sure the machine’s electrical specifications, printed in the unit’s serial plate, match those of your local power.
Be sure to follow the operating instructions and safety guidelines for the motor unit onto which you install the meat tenderizer attachment.

1. Be sure the combs are properly positioned in the cutting attachment. DO NOT slice meat without the combs in place. WARNING: Do not use meat more than 3/4″ thick, meat that has thick veins, or meat with bones. Failure to comply will result in damage to your machine.
   FOR BEST RESULTS: Use semi-frozen meat.

2. Prepare meat for tenderizing by removing all skin and bones. Then cut the meat into appropriately sized pieces for tenderizing.

3. Turn the motor unit “ON.” Feed meat into the tenderizer chamber by hand slowly. Insert meat into the stripper chute until it makes contact with the blades. Allow the blades to pull the meat through.
   WARNING: DO NOT force the meat through. DO NOT press meat down with fingers or hands.

4. If the meat is too short, use a pair of stainless steel tongs, taking care not to make contact with blades.

5. Place a plate underneath the tenderizer opening to catch the meat as it falls.

6. Turn the motor unit “OFF” when you are finished. Disconnect the motor unit from the power supply.

To Begin Processing:

1. Connect the power plug to a suitable electrical power supply.
2. Turn ON the appliance by pressing down the GREEN “l” button. The motor will start operating.
3. Feed the meat into the tenderizer slowly piece by piece. Insert meat into the top opening until it makes contact with the blades. The blades will pull the meat through.

Disassembly Instructions

1. Switch off the machine. Make sure the machine is unplugged
2. Lift up the shield by pulling up the knob.
3. Unlock the attachment by pulling up the switch.
4. Remove the blade attachment. Wear cut-resistant gloves since the blades are sharp.

Cleaning

Note: Always unplug the appliance from the electrical power outlet and let it cool down completely before cleaning & storage.

1. Wash all parts thoroughly with warm, soapy water
   NOTE: A long bristle brush is recommended for cleaning (sold separately)

2. Rinse with clear water.

3. Sanitize as necessary.

4. Dry thoroughly before re-assembling.
   NOTE: It is highly suggested to coat all metal parts with a food-grade silicone spray (sold separately) to prevent corrosion.

Troubleshooting

If meat gets jammed in blades, turn the motor to the “OFF” position and disconnect from the power source. Lift stainless steel shield, clear the jam using steel tongs.
If meat is not cutting through cleanly, check to make sure that the knives on both sides are aligned so the blades are overlapping and make contact with the blades on the other rack. Meat with excessive cartilage or gristle may not slice cleanly.
