To assemble the KitchenAid KSMMGA Grinder, first attach the grinder body to the power hub of your KitchenAid mixer. Then, insert the grind screw into the grinder body, followed by the blade. Place the grinding plate over the blade, securing it with the collar. Ensure all parts are tightly fitted before use.
Disassemble all parts and wash them in warm, soapy water. Use a brush to remove any food particles from the grinding plate and blade. Rinse thoroughly and dry all parts completely before reassembling or storing. The parts are not dishwasher safe.
Ensure the blade is installed facing the correct direction and all parts are assembled tightly. Overloading the grinder or using too much liquid can also cause poor grinding performance. Try cutting ingredients into smaller pieces and reducing the load.
To prevent overheating, avoid overloading the grinder and allow it to rest between uses. If the motor becomes too hot, turn off the mixer and let it cool down before resuming operation.
The grinder is ideal for grinding meats, making breadcrumbs, and processing a variety of vegetables. It can also be used to prepare sausage with the included sausage stuffer tubes.
After cleaning and drying all parts, store the grinder in a cool, dry place. You can keep the parts together in a storage bag to avoid misplacing them. Ensure the blades and plates are stored safely to prevent damage.
Turn off and unplug the mixer immediately. Disassemble the grinder to remove any obstructions or buildup. Clean all parts thoroughly before reassembling. Avoid using hard or frozen ingredients to prevent future jams.
The KitchenAid KSMMGA Grinder is not designed to grind bones. Using it to grind bones can damage the blades and motor, voiding the warranty. Stick to recommended ingredients like meats and vegetables.
The frequency of sharpening depends on usage. If you notice a decline in performance or the grinder struggling with ingredients, it may be time to sharpen or replace the blade. Consult the user manual for maintenance guidelines.
Stop using the grinder immediately and check for any loose parts or obstructions. Ensure all components are correctly assembled. If the issue persists, contact KitchenAid customer service for further assistance.
