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.
