Step 2

Turn on the grinder. For the standalone model, this is simply turning on the switch. For the kitchen center model, turn the dial on the motor base to grind and press the "ON" button.

Step 3

Feed meat into the tube and use the meat pusher to push the meat down the tube into the grinder. The bowl will catch the meat as the auger pushes the meat into the blades.
