To assemble the grinder, first attach the feed screw to the motor housing, then slide the cutting blade onto the feed screw. Place the grinding plate onto the blade, ensuring the notches align. Secure everything in place with the locking ring.
Disassemble the grinder parts and wash them in warm, soapy water. Use a brush to remove any meat or residue from the grinding plate and blade. Rinse thoroughly and dry before reassembly.
Ensure the grinder is plugged into a working outlet. Check the power switch and make sure it is in the 'on' position. If it still doesn't work, inspect the fuse and replace if necessary.
Check for any bone or sinew blocking the blade. Disassemble and clean the grinder thoroughly. Make sure the meat is cut into smaller pieces before grinding to prevent jams.
Sharpen the blade after every 5-10 uses, or if you notice a decrease in grinding efficiency. Use a sharpening stone or take it to a professional if needed.
The Cookworks 9098549 PCML-2012 Grinder is not designed to grind bones. Doing so may damage the blade or motor. It is best to use it for meat and vegetables only.
The grinder should be used continuously for no more than 10 minutes at a time to prevent overheating. Allow it to cool for 30 minutes between uses.
Unplug the grinder and locate the fuse compartment, usually at the power cord entry point. Remove the old fuse and replace it with a new one of the same rating.
Regularly check the motor for dust or debris and clean with a dry cloth. Lubricate moving parts with food-grade oil every few months to ensure smooth operation.
Some noise is normal due to the motor and grinding action, but excessive noise could indicate a problem. Check for loose parts or misalignment in the assembly.
