nMedium: used to make Polish, Italian, Bratwurst, Venison,
Chorizo, and skinless sausages. (1-11/4”)
nLarge: used to make larger skinless sausages or to stuff
larger casings.
How To Make Sausage
1. Prepare natural casing by running it under cool water. Soak
casing in a bowl of cool water for a half hour.
2. Rinse the casing again under cool water and let the water run
through the casing by holding one end of the casing open
under the faucet.
3. Soak the casing again, adding one tablespoon of white
vinegar for each cup of water in the bowl. Leave the casing in
the vinegar solution until you are ready to stuff it, then rinse
and drain.
NOTE: Vinegar softens the casing and makes it more transparent.
This makes the finished sausage look better.
4. Cut meat into one inch cubes and put in freezer for half hour
to firm up.
5. Measure the seasonings for the recipe you are using and
combine in a small bowl. Set aside.
6. Grind the meat, following the basic operating instructions.
7. Assemble the meat grinder with the sausage stuffer following
the instructions on page 4.
8. Test the sausage. Fry up a small amount of the sausage
mixture. Adjust seasonings to taste.
9. Pull the entire sausage casing over the stuffing tube so that the
end of the casing is even with the tube opening.

6
10. Slowly feed the meat, with the pusher, into the hopper open-
ing. When the ground meat is flush with the opening of the
stuffing tube, pull off 2 inches of casing and tie into a knot.
11. Continue feeding meat into the hopper opening and stuffing
the sausage casing. Pack the casing firmly but not to the
bursting point. Maintain an even thickness throughout the
length of casing.
12. Slide leftover casing offstuffing tube when all meat has been
used.
13. Inspect the sausage by pricking any air bubbles or pockets
with a pin. NOTE: Air pockets can fill with fat while cooking
allowing mold to grow.
14. Twist off the links. By starting at the tied end of the stuffed
casing, grasp 3 inches of stuffed casing or the desired length
of sausage you wish to make and gently twist two or three
times in the same direction to form a link. Continue twisting
offlinks until the entire casing is done.
15. Using a sharp knife, cut the links apart and cut off any empty
casing at the end.
16. Arrange the links in a single layer on a plate covered with
plastic wrap and refrigerate for a couple of hours. NOTE: If
you are not going to eat the sausage within 2 days, it is
recommended that you use one of Deni’s vacuum sealers
or vacuum packaging systems.
Sausage Making Tips
nMake sure the meat is as cold as possible, without being frozen, before
you grind it. Cold meat is easier to grind and the fat doesn’t clog up
the grinding plate.
nWhen mixing sausage with your hands, place a bowl of cold water
nearby. Rinse your hands frequently in the cold water so that the fat
doesn’t stick to your fingers.
Cleaning
nMake sure the motor has stopped completely before disassembling the
unit.
nUnscrew cap.
nTo remove cutting plate easily, knock the head on the
table with the cutting plate face up.
nWash each part in warm soapy water. Use care when handling the
sharp blades. NOTE: Do not wash any parts in the dishwasher or use
abrasive cleaning agents or cloths when cleaning. Bleaching solutions
containing chlorine will discolor aluminum surfaces. Thinners and
benzynes will crack or change the color of the unit.
nWipe motor housing with a damp cloth. Do not
immerse in water.
nCoat feed screw, cutting blade, and cutting plates
with salad oil after washing and drying. NOTE: The
oil will keep parts lubricated.

Hints and Tips
nWhen carrying the unit, be sure to hold motor housing with
both hands. Do not hold or carry by the hopper plate.
nMake sure all parts are tightly assembled. Loose parts will
cause food to get caught and clog up the grinder.
nAlways turnthe unit ON before inserting food.
nProcess a small amount of fat from the meat through the meat
grinder before grinding to lubricate the grinding mechanism.
nDo not grind hard foods such as bones and nuts.
nDo not grind ginger and other materials with hard fiber.
nDo not use the unit for more than 20 minutes without
interruption. If longer use is necessary, allow unit to cool
down thoroughly before reusing it.
nTo avoid jamming, do not apply excessive pressure while
operating.
nGrinding bread pieces may help to remove food residue left
in the meat grinder after use.
nChill meat before grinding to reduce the loss of juices.
nRefrigerate ground meat immediately and cook within 24
hours.
nMake sure food is free of bone, tough tendon, nutshells, etc.
before grinding.
nDo not use food pusher on bread crumbs or nuts. They will
feed themselves.
nWhen making bread crumbs, only use the coarse grinding
disc.
nNever try to undo the parts or to repair the unit by yourself
Contact Keystone Manufacturing Company, Inc.
nWhen switching from ON to OFF then to REVERSE or vice
versa, wait about 6 seconds to assure that the motor has
stopped completely.
nTo maintain the freshness of your ground meat for up to
five times as long as traditional food storage methods, it is
recommended that you use one of Deni’s vacuum sealers or
vacuum packaging systems. To order, or for more information,
call 1-800-DENI-VAC.
Troubleshooting
nMeat Grinder shut off or no meat is coming out.
The unit may be jammed. Shut it off. Press REVERSE to clear
jamming of bone or other materials. NOTE: Reverse operation
will continue for as long as the button is pressed. Unplug the
unit and follow cleaning instructions. Re-assemble. Never force
food through the meat grinder.
