Care And Cleaning - Hamilton Beach 78402C Manual

Tips
• Any time that you change the grinding plates, the head should be
removed COMPLETELY to prevent pushing meat back into the
motor drive shaft housing.
• To prevent overheating, do not operate the grinder for more than
15 minutes at a time. Allow the grinder to cool periodically.
• DO NOT overtighten the front ring nut. It should be firmly tight.
• Make sure the grinder blade lays flat on the grinder plate.
• DO NOT operate the grinder without meat in the head. Running
the grinder while dry could damage the head and auger.
• Always lubricate the head, grinding plate, and grinding blade with
a food-grade silicone spray after cleaning.
• DO NOT grind bones or other hard objects.
