the grinder “OFF.” Press the “REVERSE” switch to push the food in the opposite
direction.Release the switch and turn the grinder “ON” again.If the grinder should
get jammed again, switch immediately to “OFF”, unplug, disassemble the grinder

TIPS ON GRINDING
• Cut the food into strips or cubes slightly smaller than the opening on the
feeding tube.
• Make sure the food is free of bone or tough tendons before grinding.
• Raw meat or fish should be well chilled (not frozen) before grinding to
reduce the loss of juices.
• When grinding large quantities of meat, fats from the meat can build up in
the grinder tube, slowing down the grinding efficiency and slowing the
motor. If this happens, stop the grinder, disassemble, wash the parts in hot
water and reassemble.
FOOD SAFETY
• Keep raw meats and their juices away from other food. Wash your hands,
counters, and other surfaces in hot soapy water after handling raw meat.
Don’t let raw meat juices touch ready-to-eat foods.
• Freshly ground meat should be refrigerated and cooked within 48 hours.
Ground meats can be frozen up to 4 months.
MAKING SAUSAGES
You can make homemade sausages using the sausage stuffing attachment. All you
need is a batch of seasoned ground meat (see recipe book for ideas) and sausage
casings. You can purchase either natural or synthetic casings from your local meat
market. If purchased dry, soak in water for 1 hour, changing water several times to
remove salt; rinse thoroughly. Running water through the casings will indicate if
there are any holes in the casings.
TO ATTACH THE SAUSAGE STUFFER
1.Insert Feed Screw into Grinder Tube with the long end of the Spindle first.
2.Place Sausage Separator onto the Feed Screw.
Page 7
3. Place the Sausage Stuffer through the Screw Ring. Attach the Screw Ring to
the end of the grinder tube, turning clockwise until tight.
4. Insert the Grinder Head into the Motor Unit opening and tighten Locking
Knob to secure.
TO STUFF CASINGS
1. Cut the casing into 1 metre lengths.
2. Pull and gather casing over the end of stuffer
attachment, leaving 3 or 4 inches overhanging
the end of the attachment.
3. Place the seasoned meat in the Feeding Tray,
turn the unit “ON” and push the meat into the
opening using the Food Pusher.
4. As the casing begins to fill, tie a knot in the loose end, and continue to stuff
loosely. If air bubbles appear while stuffing, prick casing with a pin to allow
air to escape.
5. Twist casings into desired link size and shape as the meat fills it.
6. When almost filled, turn the unit “OFF”, remove the casing from the
sausage attachment and tie a knot in the open end.
