4. Operating Instructions
Prepare your meat mixture and casings before beginning the stuffing process.
- Prepare Meat: Ensure your meat mixture is well-chilled and properly seasoned.
- Load Meat: Pull the plunger all the way up. Carefully spoon the meat mixture into the stainless steel cylinder, ensuring no large air pockets are trapped.
- Attach Casing: Slide the prepared casing onto the chosen stuffing tube, gathering it tightly at the end. Tie a knot at the end of the casing.
- Begin Stuffing: Slowly turn the crank handle clockwise to push the plunger down. The meat will be extruded into the casing. Guide the casing off the tube as it fills, ensuring even filling and avoiding air bubbles. The air release valve on the plunger will help expel excess air.
- Form Sausages: Once the casing is filled, twist or tie the sausage at desired intervals to create individual links.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Meat not extruding or slow extrusion | Meat mixture too thick; air trapped in cylinder; casing too tight. | Add a small amount of liquid (water or broth) to the meat mixture; ensure plunger is fully lowered to expel air; loosen casing slightly. |
| Air bubbles in sausages | Air trapped in meat mixture or cylinder; plunger not fully engaged. | Ensure meat is packed tightly without air pockets; check that the air release valve is functioning; press plunger slowly and steadily. |
| Stuffer is unstable on countertop | Clamp not tightened sufficiently; surface too thin or uneven. | Tighten the clamp screw firmly; ensure the countertop is within the maximum thickness limit (7cm) and is stable. |
| Meat leaking from cylinder bottom | Seal not properly seated or damaged. | Check the bottom seal for proper placement and ensure it is not damaged. Replace if necessary. |
