2. Follow the "Stuffer Assembly" instructions to fully assemble the grinder as a stuffer including the tray. NOTE: While one person can stuff sausage with this grinder, it is recommended that two people perform this operation.
3. Place seasoned ground meat into the tray. Do not overfill the tray; place just enough meat to leave the feed chute area open.
4. Slide a sausage casing over the stuffing funnel.
5. Slide 4^ - 6^ (10.2-15.2 cm) of casing from the end of the stuffing funnel and tie a knot in the end of the casing. If you are using large-diameter fibrous casing, hold the closed end of the casing tightly against the end of the stuffing funnel.

8. Press ON (-) the grinder button. Carefully start feeding ground meat into the feed chute. ONLY USE THE FOOD PUSHER TO PUSH MEAT INTO THE HEAD. DO NOT USE YOUR FINGERS OR ANY OTHER OBJECT.

How to Stuff (cont.)

1. 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. NOTE: When using natural casings, use a wet surface.
2. Do not fill the last 3^n - 4^n (8-10 cm) of casing. After the entire length of casing has been stuffed, twist the open end to close and then tie off the ends of the casing tightly to close. Twist into links.
3. When 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.

The reverse function only should be used for brief periods of time to help clear a jam.

1. Allow the grinder motor to come to a COMPLETE STOP before engaging in REV (reverse).
2. Push the REVERSE button; then press the REV switch. NOTE: NEVER operate the grinder in reverse for more than 5 seconds.
3. If the grinder remains jammed after using the reverse function, turn the grinder to the OFF (O) position. Unplug. Disassemble the grinder head and clean it according to the "Care and Cleaning" instructions. Reassemble the grinder and follow the "How to Grind/How to Stuff" instructions.

Tips

• Any time that you change the grinding plates, the head should be removed COMPLETELY to prevent pushing meat back into the motor drive shaft housing.
• To prevent overheating, do not operate the grinder for more than 15 minutes at a time. Allow the grinder to cool periodically.
  DO NOT overtighten the front ring nut. It should be firmly tight.
• Make sure the grinder blade lays flat on the grinder plate.
• DO NOT operate the grinder without meat in the head. Running the grinder while dry could damage the head and auger.
• Always lubricate the head, grinding plate, and grinding blade with a food-grade silicone spray after cleaning.
• DO NOT grind bones or other hard objects.
