Troubleshooting
Grinder moves or slips during use
Check the screw clamp and tighten it further; ensure the table edge is thick enough for the clamp's range.
Meat is mushy rather than minced
Use colder meat and ensure the stainless steel cutting blade is facing the correct direction toward the perforated disc.
Difficulty turning the handle
Clear any gristle or sinew from the intake and ensure the auger is properly aligned inside the housing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your TRICA grinder, place the unit on the edge of a sturdy table or countertop. Tighten the screw clamp firmly until the body is immobile. Before the first use, wash all removable metal parts in warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residue.
Care Instructions:
- Hand Wash Only: Do not place the cast iron parts in a dishwasher, as the harsh detergents can corrode the tin plating.
- Dry Immediately: Always dry the components thoroughly with a clean cloth immediately after washing to prevent oxidation or rust.
- Storage: Store in a dry environment. A light coating of food-grade mineral oil on the internal parts can help maintain the components if the grinder is stored for long periods.
