Grounding

This grinder must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock.
This unit is equipped with an electrical cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.

IMPORTANT
DO NOT MODIFY THE PROVIDED PLUG. If it will not fit the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

Electric Diagram

IMPORTANT
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the grinder is properly grounded.

Grounded Grinders: Grinders with 3-Prong Plugs
Grinders marked with Grounding Required have a 3-wire cord and 3-prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the grinder should electrically malunion or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See Figure A.)
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the grinder. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the grinder’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically live terminal.
Your grinder must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the following illustration.

Double Insulated Grinders: Grinders with Two-Prong Plugs
Grinders marked Double Insulated do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Figure B.)
Double insulated grinders may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the following illustration. ****

Extension Cords

IMPORTANT
USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and cause overheating.

IMPORTANT
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

Grounded grinders require a 3-wire extension cord. Double Insulated grinders can use either a 2-or 3-wire extension cord.
As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible grinder damage.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. Minimum extension cord wire size is shown in the following table:

Cleaning and Maintenance

Always be as thorough as possible when cleaning and sanitizing components. Any part exposed to raw meat may harbor or develop bacteria, potentially causing illness or death.
When cleaning with sanitizers, always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. Never use products that cause exposed surface to render meat unsafe for consumption. Failure to follow this warning may lead to illness or death!

Clean appliance attire each use.

• Never clean the meat grinder with a pressurized water-jet, industrial cleaner, or any other type of cleaning utensil that could damage the surface of the appliance.
• Do not immerse motor housing in water. Wipe with damp cloth.
• Before cleaning, be sure to unplug the meat grinder from the power source.

Minimum Wire Size Of Extension Cords

Nameplate AMPS| Cord Length
25’| 50’| 100’| 150’
0 – 6| 18 AWG| 16 AWG| 16 AWG| 14 AWG
6 – 10| 18 AWG| 16 AWG| 14 AWG| 12 AWG
10 – 12| 16 AWG| 16 AWG| 14 AWG| 12 AWG
12 – 16| 14 AWG| 12 AWG| NOT RECOMMENDED

• When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required.
• If you are using one extension cord for more than one grinder, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.
• Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
