REMOVING AND SETTING THE STAINLESS GRINDING
CAGE

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THIS THE STAINLESS STEEL GRINDING CAGE IS
ASSEMBLED PROPERLY FOR YOUR UNIT TO WORK.

1. Inside the unit is a stainless steel grinding cage
and round plastic collar to lock the grinding cage into

place**.

2. Place the stainless steel grinding cage with the
smooth si de (opposite of the 3 tab side) into the
plastic col lar and t wis t until the notc h of th e sta inless
steel grinding cage locks into the protrusion on the
plastic collar. (See illustration to the right).

3. Turn the assembled grinding cage (with plastic cover) over, so black plastic collar is
on the top to insert into the base of ta nk.

4. Looking down into the interior of the tank, you will see 2
Stainless Steel screws. This is where the clips attached to
the pla stic collar lock the grinding mechanism down. (Fig. E,
Page 4)

5. When putting the collar into position, align the plastic collar
with the tabs with the indented postpositions. With firm but
gentle pressure, press the collar down until the tabs “click”
into place.

6. Once everything is in place, make sure the clips are pushed inward toward the
screws to lock the unit into position, (Fig. E, Page 4) and lift slightly to insure the
cage is in fact locked into position properly and will not release.

**THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! IF THE COLLAR IS NOT LOCKED PROPERLY - THE
UNIT WILL GRIND BUT WILL NO T DIS PE NS E . Loc k and unlock clip s carefully , to
avoid breaking. Your STAINLESS STEEL MARGARATOR™ is now ready to fill with your
favorite liquid and use again.
