Technical Information
Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, the plug will
it in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fully it the power
outlet, reverse the plug and reinsert. If
it still does not it, contact a qualiied
electrician. DO NOT modify the plug in
any way.
Notes on the Power Cord
A short power-supply cord (or detached
power-supply cord) is provided to
reduce risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a long
cord. Longer detachable power-supply
cords or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in
their use.
If a long detachable power-supply cord
or extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the
detachable power-supply cord or
extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the
appliance.
• If the appliance is of the grounded
type, the extension cord should be
a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
• The longer cord should be arranged
so that it will not drape over the
counter top or table top where it
can be pulled on by children or
tripped over.

• Before stuing, insert two ingers
into one end of the casing to open
it. Hold the casing opening under a
faucet and let water run the entire
length. This will wash away some of
the packing salt.
• To stu casings:
1. Gather the casing over the
Sausage Attachment, except for
the last 4 inches.
2. Place seasoned meat into the
Hopper and turn the machine on
using the Control Switch.
3. Using the Food Pusher, push
seasoned meat into the Grinder
Head. As meat is pushed through
the Grinder, the casing will be
stued.
NOTE: Stu the casing loosely as
some sausages expand during
cooking
4. As the casing begins to ill, tie-o
the end with string.
5. Distribute meat through the
casing and twist into links to
obtain desired size and shape.
6. When the casing is full, turn
the Grinder OFF (“O”) using
the Control Switch.
7. Unplug the unit from the
electrical outlet and clean
thoroughly by following cleaning
instructions in Cleaning and
Maintenance.
Grinding Tips
• Fine Grinding Plate – Use for inely
ground texture, such as spreads,
baby food or hamburgers
• Medium Grinding Plate – Use for
ground meat in soups or sausages
• Coarse Grinding Plate – Use for
coarsely ground texture, such as
nuts, vegetables, or ground meat
for chili
• Raw Meat and Fish – These items
will have a minimum loss of juices if
thoroughly chilled before grinding.
When grinding larger quantities,
fats can build up inside the Grinder
Head. If this occurs, disassemble
and wash parts in soapy water, then
reassemble. After grinding meat,
you can clean the Feed Screw by
grinding a slice of bread.
• Nuts – Use the Coarse Grinding
Plate and feed nuts into the Grinder
Head slowly. Whenever possible,
alternate with other ingredients,
such as dried fruits or vegetables.
• Bread Crumbs – Best if using dry or
toasted bread. Make sure all parts
are free of moisture before starting.
Sausage Making Tips
• Meats must be coarsely ground and
seasoned before making sausage
links.
• Select the Sausage Attachment size
based on the size of the casing to
be used.
