To Use Food Grinder Attachment
1. Cut food into small strips or pieces and
feed them into hopper. Meat should be
cut into long narrow strips.
2. Turn mixer to Speed 4 and feed food
into hopper using combination food
pusher/wrench.
NOTE: Liquid may appear in hopper when
processing large amounts of high moisture
foods such as tomatoes or grapes. To
drain liquid, continue to operate mixer.
To avoid damage to mixer, do not process
additional food until liquid has drained
from hopper.
Coarse Plate – Use for
grinding raw or cooked meats,
firm vegetables, dried fruits
and cheese.
Fine Plate – Use for grinding
raw meat, cooked meats for
spreads and breadcrumbs.
Grinding Meat – For better mix and
more tender results, grind beef twice. Best
texture results from grinding very cold or
partially frozen meat. Fatty meats should
be ground only once.
Grinding Bread – To grind bread for
crumbs, be sure that bread is either oven
dried thoroughly to remove all moisture,
or not dried at all. Partially dried bread
may jam the Food Grinder.
NOTE: Very hard, dense foods such as
totally dried homemade bread should
not be ground in the Food Grinder.
Homemade bread should be ground fresh
and then oven or air-dried.
To Loosen Ring – If ring is too tight to
remove by hand, slip the combination
food pusher/wrench over the grooves and
turn counterclockwise.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the food
grinder attachment, do not use
combination food pusher/wrench to
tighten ring to grinder body.
To Clean Food Grinder Attachment
First completely disassemble food grinder
attachment.
The following parts are dishwasher safe:
• Grinder body
• Grinder worm
• Ring
• Combination food pusher/wrench
The following parts should be hand
washed in warm, sudsy water and
dried thoroughly:
• Knife
• Grinding plates

Sausage Stuffer Attachment
To Assemble Sausage Stuffer Attachment:
1. Insert grind worm (A) into the grinder body (B).
2. Place the retainer bar (C) over the square shank at the exposed end of the grind worm.
3. Insert desired Sausage Stuffer tube (D) or (E) in ring (F) and then screw onto grinder
body, turning by hand until finger tight, but not over tightened.
NOTE: The combination food pusher/wrench (G) is used for removal of ring (F) only.
Do not use it to tighten ring (F).
NOTE: Use Sausage Stuffer (model SSA) with Food Grinder (model FGA).
To Use Sausage Stuffer Attachment
Use the small Sausage Stuffer tube (E) to
make breakfast sausage with casings and
the large Sausage Stuffer tube (D) to prepare
Bratwurst, Italian or Polish sausage with
casings or breakfast sausage without casings.
1. If using natural casings, it’s
recommended to first soak them in
cold water for 30 minutes to remove
excess salt, then rinse several times by
running cold water through the entire
length of casing.
2. Grease stuffer tube with shortening
and slide, 3 to 4 feet (91 to 122 cm) of
casing onto stuffer tube.
3. Tie the end of the casing with string
to seal.
4. Turn mixer to Speed 4 and slowly feed
ground meat mixture into hopper using
the combination food pusher/wrench.
5. Hold the tied end of the casing in
one hand and guide meat mixture as
it fills casing.
NOTE: Do not pack meat mixture too
tightly into casing; allow enough room
to twist sausage into smaller links and for
expansion during cooking. If an air pocket
develops, pierce with a toothpick or skewer.
To complete a recipe using several pounds
of meat, it may be necessary to repack the
Sausage Stuffer with casing several times to
use all of the ground meat mixture.
