10. Slowly feed the meat, with the pusher, into the hopper open-
ing. When the ground meat is flush with the opening of the
stuffing tube, pull off 2 inches of casing and tie into a knot.
11. Continue feeding meat into the hopper opening and stuffing
the sausage casing. Pack the casing firmly but not to the
bursting point. Maintain an even thickness throughout the
length of casing.
12. Slide leftover casing off stuffing tube when all meat has been
used.
13. Inspect the sausage by pricking any air bubbles or pockets
with a pin. NOTE: Air pockets can fill with fat while cooking
allowing mold to grow.
14. Twist off the links. By starting at the tied end of the stuffed
casing, grasp 3 inches of stuffed casing or the desired length
of sausage you wish to make and gently twist two or three
times in the same direction to form a link. Continue twisting
off links until the entire casing is done.
15. Using a sharp knife, cut the links apart and cut off any empty
casing at the end.
16. Arrange the links in a single layer on a plate covered with
plastic wrap and refrigerate for a couple of hours. NOTE: If
you are not going to eat the sausage within 2 days, it is
recommended that you use one of Deni's vacuum sealers
or vacuum packaging systems.

Sausage Making Tips
I
Make sure the meat is as cold as possible, without being frozen, before
you grind it. Cold meat is easier to grind and the fat doesn't clog up
the grinding plate.
I
When mixing sausage with your hands, place a bowl of cold water
nearby. Rinse your hands frequently in the cold water so that the fat
doesn't stick to your fingers.
Cleaning
I
Make sure the motor has stopped completely before disassembling the
unit.
I
Unscrew cap.
I
To remove cutting plate easily, knock the head on the
table with the cutting plate face up.
I
Wash each part in warm soapy water. Use care when handling the
sharp blades. NOTE: Do not wash any parts in the dishwasher or use
abrasive cleaning agents or cloths when cleaning. Bleaching solutions
containing chlorine will discolor aluminum surfaces. Thinners and
benzynes will crack or change the color of the unit.
I
Wipe motor housing with a damp cloth. Do not
immerse in water.
I
Coat feed screw, cutting blade, and cutting plates
with salad oil after washing and drying. NOTE: The
oil will keep parts lubricated.
