WARNING! Before cleaning, assembling or disassembling the Grinder, make sure the PLUG IS REMOVED FROM THE OUTLET POWER SOURCE! ALWAYS unplug the Grinder when not in use. After unplugging the unit, turn power switch ON, then OFF to ensure that all power has been discharged from the grinder.
IMPORTANT: While one person can stuff sausage with this Grinder, it is
recommended that two people perform this operation. One person to operate the
grinder and push meat into the chute with the Stomper while the other person
manages the output into the sausage casing.
TO BEGIN STUFFING:
-
Place seasoned ground meat into the Meat Tray. Do not overfill the Tray, place just enough meat to leave the Feed Chute area open. (Figure 1)
-
Slide a sausage casing over the Stuffing Funnel. (Figure 2)
-
Pull 4— 6” (10—15 cm) of casing out at of the end of the Stuffing Funnel Tube and tie a knot in the end of the casing.
(Figure 3). -
Make sure the Grinder is in the “OFF” position. Attach the Grinder to the power supply.
-
Press Grinder “ON” button ( on models #8 and #12) or turn Grinder Switch the to the forward “FWD” position (Models #22, #32), . Carefully start feeding ground meat into the Feed Chute. ONLY USE THE STOMPER TO PUSH MEAT INTO THE HEAD, DO NOT USE YOUR FINGERS OR ANY OTHER OBJECT.
-
Hold the casing in place with one hand while feeding the sausage mixture through the Grinder. As the meat fills the casing, gently lay it on a clean, dry surface. (Figure 4)
-
Do not fill the last 4—6” (10 – 15.24 cm) of casing. After the entire length of casing has been stuffed, twist the open end to close, then tie off the ends of the casing tightly to close. Twist into links if desired.
-
Whenever stuffing sausage, fill the casing slowly to avoid air pockets. If air pockets do appear in the sausage use a pin to prick the bubbles. The small holes will seal naturally.
WARNING! NEVER RUN THE GRINDER DRY WITHOUT MEAT! It can cause damage to the unit, Meat becomes a lubricant when passing through the grinder, if you run out of meat, turn the grinder off immediately

IMPORTANT: Any metal parts must be coated with a food-safe silicone spray to prevent rusting; if not properly protected; these parts will begin to rust very quickly.
FOOD SAFETY
WHEN HANDLING FOOD, THE BASIC RULES TO FOLLOW ARE: COOK, SEPARATE CLEAN AND CHILL
It’s crucial to cook food to a safe internal temperature to destroy bacteria that is present. The safety of hamburgers and other foods made with ground meat has been receiving a lot of attention lately, and with good reason. When meat is ground, the bacteria present on the surface are mixed throughout the ground mixture. If this ground meat is not cooked to at least 160˚F to 165˚F (71˚C to 74˚C), bacteria will not be destroyed and there’s a good chance you will get sick. Solid pieces of meat like steaks and chops don’t have dangerous bacteria like E. coli on the inside, so they can be served more rare. Still, any beef cut should be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 145˚F (63˚C) (medium rare). The safe temperature for poultry is 180˚F (82˚C) and solid cuts of pork should be cooked to 160˚F (71˚C). Eggs should be thoroughly cooked too. If you are making a meringue or other recipe that uses uncooked eggs, buy specially pasteurized eggs or use prepared meringue powder.
SEPARATE
Occurs when raw meats or eggs come in contact with foods that will be eaten uncooked. This is a major source of food poisoning. Always double-wrap raw meats and place them on the lowest shelf in the refrigerator so there is no way juices can drip onto fresh produce. Then use the raw meats within 1-2 days of purchase, or freeze for longer storage. Defrost frozen meats in the refrigerator, not on the counter. When grilling or cooking raw meats or fish, make sure to place the cooked meat on a clean platter. Don’t use the same platter you used to carry the food out to the grill. Wash the utensils used in grilling after the food is turned for the last time on the grill, as well as spatulas and spoons used for stir-frying or turning meat as it cooks. Make sure to wash your hands after handling raw meats or raw eggs. Washing hands with soap and water, or using a pre-moistened antibacterial towelette is absolutely necessary after you have touched raw meat or raw eggs. Not washing hands and surfaces while cooking is a major cause of cross-contamination.
CLEAN
Wash your hands and work surfaces frequently when you are cooking. Washing with soap and warm water for at least 15 seconds, then dry with a paper towel.
CHILL
Chilling food is very important. The danger zone where bacteria multiply is between 40˚F and 140˚F (4˚C and 6˚C). Your refrigerator should be set to 40˚F (4˚C) or below; your freezer should be 0˚F (-17˚C) or below.
Simple rule: serve hot foods hot, cold foods cold. Use chafing dishes or hot plates to keep food hot while serving. Use ice water baths to keep cold foods cold. Never let any food sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours - 1 hour if the ambient temperature is 90˚F (32˚C) or above. When packing for a picnic, make sure the foods are already chilled when they go into the insulated hamper. The hamper won’t chill food - it just keeps food cold when properly packed with ice. Hot cooked foods should be placed in shallow containers and immediately refrigerated so they cool rapidly. Make sure to cover foods after they are cool.
NOTE: Special considerations must be made when using venison or other wild game, since it can become heavily contaminated during field dressing. Venison is often held at temperatures that could potentially allow bacteria to grow, such as when it is being transported. Refer to the USDA Meat and Poultry Department for further questions or information on meat and food safety.
