TO SET THE DESIRED PATTY THICKNESS:
1. Adjust the Wing Nut all the way to the top of the Adjustment
Screw by turning it counter-clockwise.
2. Use the Weight Markings on the Shaft to measure the patty
thickness. (The indication line for the desired weight should be
set to the edge on the top of the Burger Press.)

There are basic rules to follow when handling food.
FOOD SAFETY
They are COOK, SEPARATE, CLEAN, and CHILL.
COOK
It’s crucial to cook food to a safe internal temperature to destroy bacteria that is present.
The safety of hamburgers and other foods made with ground meat has been receiving a lot
of attention lately, and with good reason. When meat is ground, the bacteria present on the
surface is mixed throughout the ground mixture. If this ground meat is not cooked to at least
160oF to 165oF (71oC to 74oC), bacteria will not be destroyed and there’s a good chance you
will get sick.
Solid pieces of meat like steaks and chops don’t have dangerous bacteria like E. coli on the
inside, so they can be served more rare. Still, any beef cut should be cooked to an internal
temperature of at least 145oF (63oC) (medium rare). The safe temperature for poultry is 180oF
(82oC) and solid cuts of pork should be cooked to 145oF (63oC).
SEPARATE
Foods that will be eaten uncooked and foods that will be cooked before eating MUST
ALWAYS be separated. Cross-contamination occurs when raw meats or eggs come in
contact with foods that will be eaten uncooked. This is a major source of food poisoning.
Always double-wrap raw meats and place them on the lowest shelf in the refrigerator so
there is no way juices can drip onto fresh produce. Then use the raw meats within 1-2 days
of purchase, or freeze for longer storage. Defrost frozen meats in the refrigerator, not on the
counter.
When grilling or cooking raw meats or sh, make sure to place the cooked meat on a clean
platter. Don’t use the same platter you used to carry the food out to the grill. Wash the utensils
used in grilling after the food is turned for the last time on the grill, as well as spatulas and
spoons used for stir-frying or turning meat as it cooks.
Make sure to wash your hands after handling raw meats or raw eggs. Washing hands with
soap and water, or using a pre-moistened antibacterial towelette is absolutely necessary after
you have touched raw meat or raw eggs. Not washing hands and surfaces while cooking is a
major cause of cross-contamination.
CLEAN
Wash your hands and work surfaces frequently when you are cooking. Washing with soap
and warm water for at least 15 seconds, then dry with a paper towel.
CHILL
Chilling food is very important. The danger zone where bacteria multiply is between 40oF and
140oF (4oC and 6oC). Your refrigerator should be set to 40oF (4oC) or below; your freezer should
be 0oF (-17oC) or below. Simple rule: serve hot foods hot, cold foods cold. Use chang dishes
or hot plates to keep food hot while serving. Use ice water baths to keep cold foods cold. Never
let any food sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours - 1 hour if the ambient temperature
is 90oF (32oC) or above. When packing for a picnic, make sure the foods are already chilled
when they go into the insulated hamper. The hamper won’t chill food - it just keeps food cold
when properly packed with ice. Hot cooked foods should be placed in shallow containers and
immediately refrigerated so they cool rapidly. Make sure to cover foods after they are cool.
ENGLISH INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Special considerations must be made when using venison or other wild game, since it
can become heavily contaminated during eld dressing. Venison is often held at temperatures
that could potentially allow bacteria to grow, such as when it is being transported. Refer to
the USDA Meat and Poultry Department for further questions or information on meat and
food safety.
