1. Remove the two electrode plates from the electrode holder and scour both sides of the plates thoroughly
using hot water and a commercial soap scouring pad. Wash the plastic electrode holder in hot soapy
water to remove all fat residue.
NOTE: Failure to follow these instructions will cause residue build-up on the electrode plates, which
will increase the time required for testing and can seriously impair the accuracy of the fat analyzer.
2. Fill the measuring device with hamburg taken from several areas of the meat to be tested. Using the
thumb and forefinger press the sample into the cavity in the measuring device. Swing the top and bot-
tom plates of the measure to the side leaving the sample in the middle portion of the measure.
3. Remove the sample from the measure and place it in the center of the electrodes in the electrode holder.
4. Close the electrode holder and place it in the slot in the fat analyzer.
5. Place a vial in the recess below the electrode holder and turn the switch on.
6. Turn the fat analyzer off when the fat no longer drips into the vial (approximately three minutes).
7. With your eyes at the same level as the pointer, move the lower pointer until it is even with the bottom
of the fat layer in the vial and tighten the thumb screw.
8. With your eyes at the same level as the pointer, move the upper pointer by turning the dial until it is even
with the top of the fat layer in the vial.
9. Read the fat level from the dial and record it.
10. For the best results, repeat the above steps two more times and take an average of the three readings.
