• Rawmeatandfishshouldbethoroughlychilled(notfrozen)
before grinding to reduce the loss of juices. Freshly ground meat
should be refrigerated and cooked within 24 hours.
• Duringextendedgrinding,fatsfrommeatscanbuildupinside
the grinder tube, slowing down grinding and straining the motor.
If this happens, you should stop the meat grinder, wash parts in
hot water, and reassemble. When possible, alternate bread with
meat. This helps keep the feed screw clean.
• Trim a handful of fat from meat. Process the fat through the
hopper to lubricate grinding mechanism for better processing
results.
• For best drying results, prepare sausage a day or two prior to
use.
• When using the large sausage attachment, it is not necessary to
use the sausage-making ring (See page 2, part #15).
TO MAKE SAUSAGES
The sausage attachments allow you to blend meats and spices for
homemade sausages.
