Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

1. Preparing Your Meat Mixture

• Ensure your sausage mixture is well-chilled and properly mixed.
• The consistency of the meat mixture is crucial for smooth stuffing. It should not be too dry or too wet.

2. Filling the Cylinder

1. With the piston fully raised, carefully load your prepared meat mixture into the stainless steel cylinder.
2. Avoid overfilling; leave approximately 1 inch of space from the top to prevent overflow when the piston descends.

3. Attaching Casings

• Carefully slide your chosen casing (natural or collagen) onto the end of the stuffing tube.
• Gather the casing onto the tube, leaving a small amount hanging off the end to tie off later.

4. Stuffing Operation

1. Begin turning the crank handle clockwise. The piston will slowly descend, pushing the meat mixture through the stuffing tube and into the casing.
2. The piston features a built-in air release valve to help eliminate air pockets in your sausage.
3. Control the speed of stuffing by adjusting your cranking pace. Aim for an even fill without over-stuffing, which can lead to burst casings.
4. Peress li ċ-ċasing fills, gently guide it off the tube.
5. Once the desired length is stuffed, tie off the end of the casing.
