USING THE METAL FOOD GRINDER ATTACHMENT

GUIDE TO GRINDING
warning NOTE: None of the parts and accessories of this KitchenAid^® Metal Food Grinder attachment

(model KSMMGA) are compatible with the parts and accessories of the KitchenAid^® Food Grinder attachment (models FGA, SSA, FT, FVSP, FVSFGA, KSMFPPA, KSMGSSA) and vice versa.

USE THESE PARTS	WITH THESE PARTS	SUGGESTED USES	SPEED
Fine grinding plate (3 mm)	Blade	Cooked meats for spreads, hard cheeses (e.g. Parmesan), bread crumbs	4
Medium grinding plate (4.5 mm)	Blade	Raw or cooked meats, meats for sausages	4
Coarse grinding plate (8 mm)	Blade	Raw meats for burgers and chili, vegetables for salsas and sauces	4
Small sausage stuffer tube (9.5 mm)	Sausage stuffer plate	Breakfast sausage, smaller sausages	4
Large sausage stuffer tube (19 mm)	Sausage stuffer plate	Bratwurst, larger sausages	4

ASSEMBLING THE METAL FOOD GRINDER ATTACHMENT

Wash all parts with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly before use.

Insert the grind screw into the main housing. Then, place the blade over the end of the grind screw. The blade should fit entirely inside the housing. If it doesn't, pull it off, turn it over, and place it again.
Place grinding plate over the blade, matching the notch of the plate with the tab on the bottom of the main housing.
Place the collar on the main housing, turning clockwise by hand until secured but not tightened.

ATTACHING THE METAL FOOD GRINDER ATTACHMENT TO THE STAND MIXER

Turn the Stand Mixer off and unplug.
For Stand Mixers with a hinged attachment hub cover: Flip up to open.
For Stand Mixers with a removable attachment hub cover: Turn the attachment knob counterclockwise to remove attachment hub cover.
Insert the attachment shaft housing into the attachment hub, making certain the power shaft fits into the square hub socket. If necessary, rotate the attachment back and forth. The pin on the attachment housing will fit into the notch of the hub rim when in the proper position.
Tighten the Stand Mixer attachment hub knob clockwise until the attachment is completely secured to the Stand Mixer.

GRINDING WITH THE METAL FOOD GRINDER ATTACHMENT

Cut food into small strips or pieces sized to fit into the feed tube.

Rotating Blade Hazard

Always use food pusher.
Keep fingers out of openings.
Keep away from children.
Failure to do so can result in amputation or cuts.

Turn the Stand Mixer to Speed 4 and feed food into the feed tube using the food pusher.

ASSEMBLING THE SAUSAGE STUFFER

Insert the grind screw into the main housing. Then insert the sausage stuffer plate over the end of the grind screw, matching the notch of the plate with the tab on the bottom of the main housing.
Insert the desired sausage stuffer tube (large or small) through the collar. Then, place the collar and tube assembly on the main housing, turning the ring by hand until secured but not tightened.

USING THE SAUSAGE STUFFER

Feed meat into the Metal Food Grinder attachment before adding the sausage stuffer tube. This will eliminate air pockets.
Lubricate the sausage stuffer tube and slide one casing over the tube, leaving about four inches to tie off the end.
Turn the Stand Mixer on to Speed 4 and slowly push the meat through the grinder. Hold the casing firmly as it fills. If air bubbles are created during the fill process, use a pin or needle to pop the bubble.
Run meat through until 4-6 inches of casing is left unfilled. Turn off the Stand Mixer and tie the remaining end of the casing, or use a tie string.

warning NOTE: For segmented-type sausage (e.g., bratwurst), twist casing ends in alternating directions at desired sausage link length.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

HELPFUL HINTS
For best results, grind meat that is very cold or partially frozen. The grinder parts can be pre-chilled in the refrigerator or freezer before use to maintain a cold grinding temperature.

For more tender results, some meats can be ground twice. However, fatty meats should be ground only once.

To grind bread for crumbs, be sure that bread is either oven-dried thoroughly to remove all moisture, or not dried at all. Partially dried bread may jam the Metal Food Grinder attachment.

warning NOTE: Very hard, dense foods such as completely dried homemade bread should not be ground in the Metal Food Grinder attachment. Homemade bread should be ground fresh and then oven- or air-dried.

If using natural casings, it is recommended to first soak them in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess salt, then rinse several times by running cold water through the entire length of the casing. For best results for sausage, refer also to the instructions that came with the casings.

CLEANING THE METAL FOOD GRINDER ATTACHMENT AND ACCESSORIES
