OPERATIONS

Grinding

The Model H6248 is designed for meat
processing. DO NOT attempt to grind bone
or hard foods like nuts or fibrous foods like
ginger.

1. Make sure all meat grinding parts are
properly sanitized before beginning
(Refer to the Cleaning section on

page 9 for more information).

2. Install the fine, medium or course cut-

ting plate.

3. Cut all meats into sizes that will easily
fit into the hopper throat.

4. Plug in the grinder and turn it ON.

5. Use meat pusher to push meat down

to the feed screw. DO NOT use any
other utensil or stick fingers down the
hopper throat.

If a jam occurs:

1. Turn off the grinder and allow it to

come to a complete stop. Press the
REVERSE button once or twice to
attempt to free the jam. If that frees the
jam proceed.

If not:

1. UNPLUG THE GRINDER FROM THE

POWER SOURCE!

2. Disassemble the grinding head and
remove the material jamming the cut­ter or feed screw.

3. Assemble the grinder head, connect
to the power source and depress the
CIRCUIT BREAKER button to reset
the motor.

4. Turn the motor ON and proceed with
grinding.

6. Feed the meat into the grinder steadi­ly. Do not force it or cause the motor
to labor.

The meat grinder can easily grind
your fingers. Never use your fingers
to push meat into the grinder. Always
use the provided meat pusher.

Remove the grinder plug from the
outlet before clearing any jams.

CLEANING & LUBRICATION

Proper Sanitation

All surfaces and working parts that have
been exposed to meat must be properly
sanitized before and after each use.

Dishwashers are a good option because
they sanitize with heat. If a dishwasher is
not available, there are chemical sanitizers
on the market that serve the same function.
When using chemical sanitizers, make sure
they are designed to do the job, and strictly
follow the manufacturer’s recommenda­tions for proper use.

NOTICE

Chlorine Bleach can discolor alumi
num parts. Study the ingredients
of detergents and sanitizers before
cleaning aluminum parts. (Hopper,
grinding head and lock ring) We
recommend using a chemical sani­tizer for these parts specifically
designed for sanitizing aluminum.

-

2. Prepare the sink. Wash and scrub

all sink compartments with dish soap
and hot water. Rinse these compart­ments thoroughly.

3. Fill a sink with soapy water, sub-
merge the item and scrub the entire
surface thoroughly.

4. Using hot water, rinse the newly
cleaned item in the empty compart­ment, until all visible suds have been
removed. Repeat this process for all
of the items that need to be sani­tized. If the soapy water starts to get
hazy, drain and rinse the sink, then
fill with more soapy water.

The items are now ready to be sanitized.
Some sanitizers require direct applications,
while others are designed to be diluted
in water and used to soak the item for a
specified period of time. The best method
for choosing a chemical sanitizer is to do
the research and determine which product
is best for your particular situation.

One simple sanitizer that can be used for
Proper sanitation with chemical sanitizers
requires a process before the actual sani­tizer is applied.

The following is an effective method to pre­pare an item for sanitation:

1. Gather all the items that need to be

cleaned. Remove the largest par­ticles of meat and place into a proper
garbage container. Rinse all items
to remove as many of the leftover
particles as possible. Set the items
aside.

Model H6248 Meat Grinder -9-

many applications is regular bleach. To

use bleach as a sanitizer, wash, scrub,

and rinse your sink. For all non-porous

surfaces (except aluminum) fill the sink

with one tablespoon of bleach per gallon of

cool water. Do not use bleach that contains

odor masking agents or surfactants. These

have not been proven effective for this type

of sanitation. Submerge each item for two

minutes. For large items, submerge each

side for the specified amount of time until

you have covered the entire area. Allow

to air dry. Do not rinse these items after

sanitation!

Cleaning the motor housing:

!

Lubrication:

1. UNPLUG THE MOTOR FROM THE

POWER SOURCE!

2. Wipe down the exterior surface of the

motor with a cloth soaked in a sanitiz­ing solution. DO NOT submerge the
motor in water!

Reduce the risk of electrocution by
keeping all connections dry. DO NOT
touch plugs with wet hands. DO NOT
submerge in water. Failure to follow
these warning could result in seri­ous injury.

The Model H6248 requires very little lubri-

cation. The following steps on the grinder

head parts will keep them moving freely

and keep them from oxidizing.

1. Be sure to use a non-vegetable
base, food service lubricant on this
machine.

2. Place a small drop of lubricant on the
front and rear flats on the shaft of the
feed screw.

3. Apply a thin film of lubricant to the cut­ter dies to prevent them from rusting.

Unplug the meat grinder before
performing any cleaning or mainte­nance.
