The LEM 20LB Stainless Steel Meat Mixer, model #654, is a manual appliance designed for domestic use in game processing, specifically for mixing meat with seasonings and cures. This device is engineered for durability and ease of use, featuring a stainless steel construction that ensures longevity and hygienic operation.

Function Description:

The primary function of the LEM 20LB Stainless Steel Meat Mixer is to thoroughly combine meat with seasonings, cures, and water to prepare it for further processing, such as stuffing into sausages. The mixer operates manually, allowing the user to control the mixing process to achieve the desired consistency. It is designed to handle up to 20 pounds of meat at a time, making it suitable for home use where larger batches of meat are processed. The mixing action is achieved by rotating paddles within a meat tank, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients throughout the meat mixture.

Important Technical Specifications:

Capacity: 20 pounds (20LB) of meat.
Material: Stainless Steel for the meat tank and other key components, ensuring hygiene, durability, and resistance to corrosion.
Operation: Manual, requiring user input to turn the handle and activate the mixing paddles.
Model Number: #654.
Components: The mixer consists of several key parts:
- Meat Tank (#1): The main container where meat is placed for mixing.
- Axle Adjusting Knob (#2): Used to adjust the tension of the spring on the axle with paddles.
- Spring (#3): Provides tension for the axle with paddles.
- Brass Bolt (#4): Secures the spring and axle within the meat tank.
- Axle With Paddles (#5): The central component responsible for mixing the meat.
- Tank Cover (#6): Covers the meat tank during operation for safety and hygiene.
- Handle Bolt (#7) & Handle Bolt (#8): Used to attach the handle to the axle with paddles, enabling manual rotation.
- Rubber Feet (#9): Provide stability and prevent the mixer from slipping during use.

Usage Features:

The LEM 20LB Stainless Steel Meat Mixer emphasizes user safety and ease of operation through several design and instructional features:

Assembly: The mixer requires simple assembly, starting with placing the spring over the brass bolt, sliding it through the meat tank, and threading the axle-adjusting knob. The axle with paddles is then inserted, and the handle is attached and secured. The axle-adjusting knob can be turned counter-clockwise to increase spring tension on the paddles, optimizing mixing.
Mixing Process:
1. Seasoning and cure (if used) should be dissolved in a minimum of 1 ounce of water per pound of meat before adding to the mixer.
2. Meat is placed in the mixer, and the dissolved seasoning mixture is poured over it.
3. The tank cover must be placed on the meat tank before operation for safety.
4. The meat is mixed until it becomes tacky, avoiding over-mixing.
5. Once mixed, the sausage should be removed immediately and put into a stuffer.
6. If the mixture becomes too stiff for stuffing, additional water can be added to soften it without affecting the flavor.
Safety Warnings: The manual provides comprehensive safety guidelines, including:
- Ensuring proper assembly and setup.
- Not recommended for use near children or persons with certain disabilities; store out of reach of children.
- Designed for domestic, not commercial, use.
- Avoid mixing bones, deep-frozen food, hard items, or non-food items.
- Use only supplied accessories; unauthorized attachments can cause injury, damage, and void the warranty.
- Do not operate under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Avoid contacting moving parts; wait for all parts to stop before removal.
- Thoroughly hand-wash all parts in warm soapy water; DO NOT SOAK and NOT DISHWASHER SAFE.
- Tie back loose hair and clothing; remove neckties, rings, watches, bracelets, or other jewelry.
- Use on a level, stable surface to prevent tipping; do not move while in use.
- Never operate without the tank cover in place.
Warranty: The product comes with a one-year warranty from the original purchase date, covering defective materials or workmanship. The warranty is void if damaged by accident, misuse, neglect, modification, or improper service. Failure to return the warranty card limits the warranty to 90 days with proof of purchase. LEM reserves the right to refuse warranty performance or product evaluation unless the original sales receipt or warranty card is on file.

Maintenance Features:

Proper maintenance is crucial for the longevity and hygienic operation of the LEM 20LB Stainless Steel Meat Mixer:

Cleaning After Use:
1. Unscrew the axle-adjusting knob clockwise until the paddle disengages, then remove the paddles.
2. Wash the meat tank and paddles with warm soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
3. Spray the unit with a food-grade silicone spray to prevent oxidation and keep the mixer in like-new condition. Silicone spray is available from LEM Products.
Storage: Store the device in a secure and dry place out of reach of children when not in use.
Customer Service: For missing or defective parts, or to obtain warranty service, customers are instructed to contact LEM Products Customer Service at 877-536-7763 (M-F 8:30 am to 4:30 pm EST) and not to return the product to the store where it was purchased.
