Bacteria from raw meat has been  
frequently linked to illness and even  
death! Describing proper meat han-  
dling techniques outside of cleaning

about sanitary meat handling practic-  
es, contact your local Board of Health  
or the USDA to research the proper  
methods of meat handling.  
No list of safety guidelines can be  
complete. Every shop environment  
is different. Always consider safety  
first, as it applies to your individual  
working conditions. Use this and  
other machinery with caution and  
respect. Failure to do so could result  
in serious personal injury, damage  
to equipment or poor work results.

come to a complete stop. Press the  
REVERSE button once or twice to  
attempt to free the jam. If that frees the  
jam proceed.  
The Model H6248 is designed for meat  
processing. DO NOT attempt to grind bone  
or hard foods like nuts or fibrous foods like  
ginger.  
If not:  
1. Make sure all meat grinding parts are  
properly sanitized before beginning  
(Refer to the Cleaning section on  
page 9 for more information).  
1. UNPLUG THE GRINDER FROM THE  
POWER SOURCE!  
2. Disassemble the grinding head and  
remove the material jamming the cut-  
ter or feed screw.  
2. Install the fine, medium or course cut-  
ting plate.  
3. Cut all meats into sizes that will easily

fit into the hopper throat.  
4.  
Plug in the grinder and turn it ON.  
5. Use meat pusher to push meat down  
to the feed screw. DO NOT use any  
other utensil or stick fingers down the  
hopper throat.  
4. Turn the motor ON and proceed with  
grinding.  
6. Feed the meat into the grinder steadi-  
ly. Do not force it or cause the motor  
to labor.  
Remove the grinder plug from the  
outlet before clearing any jams.  
The meat grinder can easily grind  
your fingers. Never use your fingers  
to push meat into the grinder. Always  
use the provided meat pusher.

CLEANING & LUBRICATION  
Proper Sanitation  
2.  
Prepare the sink. Wash and scrub  
all sink compartments with dish soap  
and hot water. Rinse these compart-  
ments thoroughly.  
All surfaces and working parts that have  
been exposed to meat must be properly  
sanitized before and after each use.  
3.  
4.  
Fill a sink with soapy water, sub-  
merge the item and scrub the entire  
surface thoroughly.  
Dishwashers are a good option because  
they sanitize with heat. If a dishwasher is  
not available, there are chemical sanitizers  
on the market that serve the same function.  
When using chemical sanitizers, make sure  
they are designed to do the job, and strictly  
follow the manufacturer’s recommenda-  
tions for proper use.  
Using hot water, rinse the newly  
cleaned item in the empty compart-  
ment, until all visible suds have been  
removed. Repeat this process for all  
of the items that need to be sani-  
tized. If the soapy water starts to get  
hazy, drain and rinse the sink, then  
fill with more soapy water.  
NOTICE  
The items are now ready to be sanitized.  
Some sanitizers require direct applications,  
while others are designed to be diluted  
in water and used to soak the item for a  
specified period of time. The best method  
for choosing a chemical sanitizer is to do  
the research and determine which product  
is best for your particular situation.  
Chlorine Bleach can discolor alumi-  
num parts. Study the ingredients  
of detergents and sanitizers before  
cleaning aluminum parts. (Hopper,  
grinding head and lock ring) We  
recommend using a chemical sani-  
tizer for these parts specifically  
designed for sanitizing aluminum.  
One simple sanitizer that can be used for  
many applications is regular bleach. To  
use bleach as a sanitizer, wash, scrub,  
and rinse your sink. For all non-porous  
surfaces (except aluminum) fill the sink  
with one tablespoon of bleach per gallon of  
cool water. Do not use bleach that contains  
odor masking agents or surfactants. These  
have not been proven effective for this type  
of sanitation. Submerge each item for two  
minutes. For large items, submerge each  
side for the specified amount of time until  
you have covered the entire area. Allow  
to air dry. Do not rinse these items after  
sanitation!  
Proper sanitation with chemical sanitizers  
requires a process before the actual sani-  
tizer is applied.  
The following is an effective method to pre-  
pare an item for sanitation:  
1.  
Gather all the items that need to be  
cleaned. Remove the largest par-  
ticles of meat and place into a proper  
garbage container. Rinse all items  
to remove as many of the leftover  
particles as possible. Set the items  
aside.

Cleaning the motor housing:  
Lubrication:  
1. UNPLUG THE MOTOR FROM THE  
POWER SOURCE!  
The Model H6248 requires very little lubri-  
cation. The following steps on the grinder  
head parts will keep them moving freely  
and keep them from oxidizing.  
2. Wipe down the exterior surface of the  
motor with a cloth soaked in a sanitiz-  
ing solution. DO NOT submerge the  
motor in water!  
1. Be sure to use  
a
non-vegetable  
base, food service lubricant on this  
machine.  
2. Place a small drop of lubricant on the  
front and rear flats on the shaft of the  
feed screw.  
3. Apply a thin film of lubricant to the cut-  
ter dies to prevent them from rusting.  
Reduce the risk of electrocution by  
keeping all connections dry. DO NOT  
touch plugs with wet hands. DO NOT  
submerge in water. Failure to follow  
these warning could result in seri-  
ous injury.  
!
Unplug the meat grinder before  
performing any cleaning or mainte-  
nance.
