To assemble the KitchenAid KSMSSA Grinder, first attach the grinder body to the power hub of your KitchenAid stand mixer. Insert the grind worm into the grinder body, then attach the desired grinding plate. Secure with the collar and ensure everything is tightly fitted.
If the grinder is not grinding properly, check that all parts are assembled correctly and that the grinding plate is not clogged. Ensure the meat is properly chilled and cut into small pieces. If issues persist, clean all parts thoroughly and check for any damage.
To clean the grinder, disassemble all parts and wash them in warm, soapy water. Use a brush to remove any food particles. Dry thoroughly before reassembling. Note: Some parts may be dishwasher safe, check the manual for details.
Yes, the KitchenAid KSMSSA Grinder can grind nuts and vegetables. However, ensure the items are not too hard or fibrous, as this may put strain on the grinder. Cut into smaller pieces for best results.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning after each use, checking for wear on the grinding plates, and ensuring all parts are dry before storage to prevent rust. Lubricate moving parts with a food-safe lubricant if necessary.
To prevent meat smearing, ensure meat is cold before grinding. You can also chill the grinder parts in the freezer before use. This helps maintain a clean cut and prevents fat from melting.
If the grinder gets jammed, turn off the mixer and unplug it. Disassemble the grinder and remove any obstructions. Reassemble and try again. Ensure you're not overloading the grinder.
Yes, the grinder can be used for making sausage. Use the appropriate sausage stuffer attachment and follow the instructions for preparing casings and grinding meat.
For best results, use fresh, cold meat and cut it into small, even pieces. Avoid overloading the grinder and use the correct grinding plate for your desired texture. Chill the grinder parts before use.
If the motor stalls, turn off the mixer and unplug it. Check for any blockages in the grinder and remove them. Reduce the amount of meat being fed into the grinder to prevent overloading. Ensure all parts are assembled correctly.
