GENERAL The model 403 Tenderizer is designed to tenderize a variety of meat products. The tenderizer consists of a set of roller units which contain knives that knit together and tenderize pieces of meat as they pass through the blades. Optional Wide

/16" Julienne Knife Lift-out units are available. They are used to cut food products, such as meats and cheeses, into strips. INSTALLATION UNPACKING Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the tenderizer is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 5 days of delivery. Remove machine from the shipping carton and place in the operating location. Remove transparent guard (4, Fig. 1), lift off motor housing (3, Fig. 1) and remove screw (1, Fig. 2) that plugs the vent hole (see label taped to machine). Insert dip stick (taped to machine) in vent hole. Replace housing and guard. A cord with plug is furnished as standard equipment. Before making electrical connections, check the specications on the machine data plate to ensure they agree with those of your electrical service.

Both the transparent guard and the motor housing must be in place. The pilot light (2, Fig. 1) will remain on when either the transparent guard or motor housing is removed and the switch is on. Motor will start when the guard and housing have been replaced. DO NOT defeat any of the safety features. OPERATION Turn the switch (1, Fig. 1) to ON. The pilot light (2, Fig. 1) will illuminate indicating power is supplied to the machine. To tenderize meats, simply drop cuts into the top of transparent guard and receive them at the bottom. Only boneless meats should be used. Choice or tender cuts should be run through several times at different angles. Less tender cuts should be run through several more times at different angles to increase tenderness. Pull out excess sinews to improve tenderness. Various combinations of different meat types may be blended together. This is accomplished by running the meat types through separately to tenderize, then together creating a rmly knit cut. Large slices should be under

/4" thick. MAINTENANCE Unplug machine power cord before beginning any maintenance procedure.– 4 – CLEANING Machine should be thoroughly cleaned after each daily use or when changing meat types.

All components can be sanitized using an iodophor (iodine-based) sanitizer solution. NOTE: Prior to reassembly, inspect for bent or broken blades.
