3. Configuration et assemblage

Before first use, clean all removable parts thoroughly. Ensure the unit is unplugged from the power outlet during assembly.

1. Placement: Place the motor housing on a stable, level, and dry countertop. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for ventilation and operation.
2. Fixez la tête de meulage : Insert the grinding head into the motor housing opening and secure it by turning the locking knob clockwise until tight.
3. Assemble Grinding Components:
   • Insert the auger (worm) into the grinding head.
   • Place the cutting blade onto the auger shaft, ensuring the sharp edges face outwards towards the grinding plate.
   • Sélectionnez la plaque de meulage souhaitée (fine, moyenne ou grosse) et placez-la sur la lame de coupe, en alignant l'encoche de la plaque avec la goupille de la tête de meulage.
   • Screw on the retaining ring clockwise until it is hand-tight. Do not overtighten.

4. Mode d'emploi

Always ensure the unit is properly assembled and plugged in before operation. Prepare your meat before starting the grinder.

4.1 Preparing Meat

• Cut meat into pieces that fit easily into the feeding tube (approximately 2-3 cm cubes).
• Remove any bones, large gristle, or tough tendons to prevent damage to the grinder.
• For best results, chill the meat and grinder components (auger, blade, plates) in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before grinding. This helps prevent smearing and ensures cleaner cuts.

4.2 Hachage de la viande

1. Placez un récipient approprié sous la tête de broyage pour recueillir la viande hachée.
2. Switch the unit ON using the control switch.
3. Place prepared meat into the feeding tray.
4. Using the food pusher, gently feed the meat into the feeding tube. N'utilisez jamais vos mains ni vos doigts.
5. Continue feeding meat until all desired quantity is ground.
6. Once finished, switch the unit OFF and unplug it from the power outlet.

4.3 Using the Reverse Function

The reverse function is useful for clearing blockages or processing tougher, fattier meats that might get stuck.

1. If the grinder jams or slows significantly, switch the unit OFF immediately.
2. Switch the unit to the "REV" (Reverse) position. This will cause the auger to rotate in the opposite direction, pushing the meat back out.
3. Once the blockage is cleared, switch the unit OFF, then back to the "ON" position to resume normal grinding.
4. If the blockage persists, unplug the unit, disassemble the grinding head, and manually clear the obstruction.

4.4 Making Sausages

To make sausages, replace the grinding plate and cutting blade with the appropriate sausage stuffing attachment.

1. After grinding your meat, disassemble the grinding plate and cutting blade.
2. Attach the desired sausage stuffing nozzle to the grinding head and secure it with the retaining ring.
3. Préparez votre saucisse casing (natural or artificial) according to its instructions.
4. Faites glisser le casing onto the sausage nozzle, leaving a small overhang at the end.
5. Switch the unit ON and feed the seasoned ground meat into the feeding tube.
6. Guidez le casing as it fills, ensuring even distribution and avoiding air pockets. Do not overfill.
7. Une fois le casing is filled, switch the unit OFF, remove the sausage, and twist or tie it into links.

5. Nettoyage et entretien

Regular cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and hygienic operation of your Buffalo CD400 Meat Grinder. Always unplug the unit before cleaning.

2. Rinçage initial : Rinse all removable parts under warm running water to remove large meat residues.
