Sausage Maker (15)

Operation

Refer to the Assembly Drawing on page 7 and FIGURES 1 and 2 on page 4.

Unplug the unit until you are completely prepared to grind.

Note: Situate the Grinder well away from the sink or any other water source. When the unit is plugged in, if it contacts water, it can cause severe electrical shock causing injury or death.

Assembly for Meat Grinding:

1.Gently drop the Spiral Drive (7) into the Mincing Body (6) with the shaft protruding through the hole at the back.

2.Carefully fit the Star Cutter (8) on the end of the Spiral Drive (7) with its cutting edge facing outwards. See FIGURE 2.

3.Place the Fine Grill (10), or Coarse Grill (11) on top of the Star Cutter (8) lining up the 2 tabs (See FIGURE 2) on the Grill with the notches threaded in the portion of the Mincing Body (6).

4.Attach the #12 Nut to the body, taking care not to over-tighten it. The cutter must rotate behind the grill, and should not bind.

5.Insert the Feeder Tube (4) into the Mincing Body (6).

6.Place the Mincing Body (6) into the Drive Unit (1) with the Feeder Tube (4) facing to the right. Turn the Feeder Tube (4) upright for operation.

7.Add the Tray (3) to the top of the Feeder Tube (4).

Grinding

1.After cutting the meat so that the chunks are small enough to fit into the Feeder Tube (4), you may plug in the unit.

2.Turn the Switch (2) to the ???On??? positon.

3.Drop a handful of meat into the Feeder Tube (4) and use the Pusher (13) to slowly push the meat into the blade. Do not force the Pusher (13). Allow the blades to cut at their pace. Continually add meat until you are finished. Shut off the unit and unplug from the outlet.

Assembly for sausage making:

Make sure the unit is unplugged.

1.If the unit is set up for meat grinding, remove the Nut (12) and then remove both the Grill and the Star Cutter (8). They are not used for sausage making.

2.Gently drop the Spiral Drive (7) into the Mincing Body (#6) with the shaft protruding through the hole at the back.

3.Position the wide end of the Sausage Maker (14) attachment so it threads into the

Mincing Body (6). Tightly thread the Nut (12) on the end of the Mincing Body (6). See FIGURE 1.

Operation (continued)

Sausage making:

1.Season the ground sausage meat to taste.

2.Soak the sausage skin in tepid water to make it more pliable.

3.Slide the sausage skin onto the end of the Sausage Maker (14) leaving approximately 1/2??? to spare.

4.Put the sausage meat into the Feeder Tube (4) and plug in and switch on the unit. Push down on the Pusher (13) gently, letting the motor do the work. Once the meat reaches the end of the Sausage Maker (14), turn off the Meat Grinder.

5.To avoid trapping air in the skin, tie a knot up to the end of the Sausage Maker (14).

6.Turn the unit back on and continue adding ground sausage meat.

Notes: Do not make excessively large sausages as the skins will burst. For easier sausage making work with another person; one to feed the Grinder and the other to hold the sausage skin as it fits on the Grinder.

7. When finished, turn off the grinder and unplug it. Tie a knot in the remaining skin on the Sausage Maker (14), and remove it. Note: Pinching and twisting the skin at the desired length will make the sausage into links.

Maintenance

Before cleaning the Meat Grinder, make sure it is unplugged from the outlet.

Never wash the Grinder in the dishwasher. You may wash the attachments in a dishwasher.

After each use, clean the Meat Grinder thoroughly. Do not submerge the Grinder Drive Unit (1) in the water. Detach parts and wash in mild antibacterial detergent and warm water. Dry parts and re-assemble when ready to use.
