5. Operating Instructions
The VEVOR Electric Sausage Stuffer offers stepless speed control and a foot pedal for precise and hands-free operation.
- Prepare Meat Mixture: Ensure your meat mixture is properly seasoned and chilled.
- Load Hopper: Place the prepared meat mixture into the hopper. The hopper can be tilted for easier loading (refer to Image 4.1).
- Prepare Casing: Slide the sausage casing onto the chosen stuffing tube. Ensure the casing is properly prepared (e.g., soaked if natural casing).
- Adjust Speed: Use the stepless speed control knob to set the desired filling speed. Start with a lower speed for delicate casings or to gain control, and increase as needed.
- Begin Stuffing: Press the foot pedal to activate the stuffer. The piston will descend, pushing the meat mixture into the casing.
- Control Flow: Maintain consistent pressure on the foot pedal to control the flow of meat and prevent air pockets. Release the pedal to stop.
- Form Sausages: As the casing fills, gently guide it off the tube. Twist or tie the casing at desired intervals to form individual sausages.
- Finish: Once all meat is stuffed, release the foot pedal and unplug the unit.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance ensure the longevity and hygienic operation of your sausage stuffer. Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
- Disassembly: Detach the meat barrel, piston, and stuffing tubes from the main unit.
- Washing: All detachable food-contact parts (barrel, piston, tubes) are dishwasher-safe. For manual cleaning, use warm soapy water and a brush for the stuffing tubes.
- Piston Seal Ring: Remove the seal ring from the piston for thorough cleaning. Ensure it is reinstalled correctly to prevent meat from bypassing the piston.
- Main Unit: Wipe the stainless steel surfaces of the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the electrical components in water.
- Drying: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembly or storage to prevent rust.
- Storage: Store the appliance in a clean, dry place.

7. Troubleshooting Guide
If you encounter issues with your VEVOR Electric Sausage Stuffer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Stuffer does not turn on. | No power supply; loose connection. | Check power cord connection and wall outlet. Ensure the foot pedal is properly connected. |
| Meat is not stuffing smoothly or air pockets form. | Meat mixture too dry; speed too high; piston seal ring improperly installed. | Add a small amount of liquid (e.g., water or broth) to the meat mixture. Reduce stuffing speed. Check and correctly reinstall the piston seal ring. |
| Casing breaks frequently. | Casing overfilled; casing not properly prepared (e.g., not soaked); speed too high. | Reduce stuffing speed. Ensure casings are adequately soaked and handled gently. Do not overfill. |
| Difficulty removing plunger for cleaning. | Plunger is designed to remain within the casing for most cleaning. | For thorough cleaning, ensure the plunger is lowered as far as possible and wipe down. Complete removal may require partial disassembly of the base, which is not typically recommended for routine cleaning. |
