INTRODUCTION

Gone are the days where the only place for meat grinders was behind the counter at
your local butcher shop. Grinding meat at home not only allows you to control exactly
what goes into your food, but it also allows you to choose the perfect grind for specific
recipes. Want a chunky burger that’s half beef, half pork? Use the 5mm plate. Want a
thinner patty? Use the 3mm plate. With the Chefman Choice Cut 700-Watt Electric
Meat Grinder, you can grind meat for everything from meatballs to specialty sausages.
The flavor will be fresher, and you’ll save money by buying in bulk and grinding yourself.

The Chefman Choice Cut Electric Meat Grinder has a heavy-duty 700-watt motor that
grinds about 3 ½ lbs of meat per minute; plus, a sleek, compact design—and not to
mention bragging rights next time you see your butcher! Whether you’re new to meat
grinding, it’s a hobby of yours, or you’re a meat connoisseur, we know you’ll love using
this Meat Grinder. Great cooking starts long before the food hits the flame, so be sure
to read this User Guide before you get started.

FUN FACTS

• “Kibbeh” is derived from the Arabic word for “ball.” Kibbeh that’s rolled by hand
resembles small footballs, while in the meat grinder it comes out sausage-shaped.

• The Italian word for meatball is polpetta. In the Abruzzo region of Italy small meatballs,
or polpettine, are served in small bites the size of marbles.

• References to the “hamburger” being served as a sandwich date back as far as the
1880s, but the World’s Fair in St. Louis infamously claims it was the first to invent the
hamburger as well as the hot dog and iced tea.

• The first recorded recipe for meatloaf is from the 1870s, and it instructed you to add
pepper, salt, onion, bread and egg—the very same ingredients you’ll find in most
recipes today!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug
is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt
to modify the plug in any way or force it into the outlet. This could result in injury or electric
shock.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of entanglement or tripping
over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply
extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.

2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

POWER CORD SAFETY TIPS

1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.

2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.

3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.

4. Before each use, inspect the Power Cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found,
this indicates that the appliance should be serviced, and the Power Cord replaced. Please
return it to an authorized service representative or contact Chefman Customer Service
for assistance.

5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the
cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF
APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
