The electric meat grinder is designed for grinding meat and similar foods and should only be used for its intended purpose. Check the meat grinder for damage before each use. Inspect the meat grinder for any damage before each use and ensure that all parts are properly assembled and functioning. The meat grinder must only be operated when in perfect working order. It is designed exclusively for household quantities and private use and must not be used outdoors. Ensure that the meat grinder is placed on a stable, non-slip surface and does not move or tip over during operation. The operating location should not be hot, wet, or excessively humid and must be free of flammable materials. Ensure that the meat grinder is stable during use and that adequate air circulation is maintained. Never leave the meat grinder unattended and keep it away from children and people with disabilities. This machine is not a toy. Avoid using the meat grinder under the influence of alcohol or drugs. When leaving the room, switch off the meat grinder and unplug it.
