CHAP. 1 – INFORMATION ABOUT THE MACHINE

1.1 – GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

• The machine may be used only by trained staff familiar with the safety information given in this manual.
• New staff must be trained in the use of the machine before using it.
• Before cleaning or servicing the machine, disconnect it from its power supply.
• The residual risks must be assessed when servicing or cleaning the machine with the guards removed.
• When servicing or cleaning the machine, concentrate on the job at hand.
• Regularly check the condition of the power cable; damaged or worn power cables pose a serious electrical hazard.
• If the machine appears to be or is malfunctioning, do not use it or try to fix it yourself; contact the “Service Centre” immediately.
• Do not use the machine for frozen products, meat and fish with bones, or any non-food products.
• Do not put your fingers inside the bowl when the machine is working.
• The manufacturer cannot be held responsible in the following cases:
  ⇒the machine is tampered with by unauthorized personnel;
  ⇒components are replaced with nonoriginal spare parts;
  ⇒the instructions in this manual are not followed carefully;
  ⇒the surfaces of the machine are treated with unsuitable products.

1.2 – SAFETY EQUIPMENT
1.2.1 – mechanical safety equipment
As for mechanical safety equipment, the machine described in this manual complies with the EEC 2006/42 standard.
Safety requirements are ensured with (see 1.3.3) the lid which can only be removed if the tank-locking arm is rotated anti-clockwise on the side of the lid itself.
1.2.2 – electrical safety equipment
As for electrical safety equipment, the machine described in this manual complies with the EEC 2006/95 and 2004/108 standards.
The machine is provided with:

• coded micro-switch which stops the machine if the lid is removed (see FIG. no.1), and prevents the machine from being restarted until the lid is correctly closed;
• relay in the command circuit which requires a voluntary restart of the machine after a power blackout.

Even if professional EC cutters are equipped with electrical and mechanical safety devices (during normal use and during cleaning and maintenance operations), there are residual risks which cannot be completely eliminated; these are referred to in this manual with the wording CAUTION. These risks may arise when handling the blades while loading the machine or during cleaning or sharpening operations of the blades.
1.3 – DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
1.3.1 – general description
Professional EC cutters are designed and manufactured by our company, for the purpose of cutting, mincing, whisking, and mixing food products (such as vegetables, meat, bread, etc.), ensuring:

• maximum safety during use, cleaning, and maintenance operations;
• maximum hygiene, thanks to the meticulous selection of the materials that come into contact with food, and to the edge-less and corner-less design, for easy and thorough cleaning and simple dismantling;
• all parts are stable and robustly constructed;
• it is extremely silent thanks to the belt transmission;
• it is very easy to handle.

1.3.2 – construction
EC professional cutters are made entirely of AISI 304 stainless steel.
This material is suitable for food (hygiene) and is perfectly resistant to acids and salts, and has high resistance against oxidation.
Blades are rectified and tempered and made with cutlery steel (ASI 420); they are designed to cut, mince, whisk and mix without ever having to change utensils.
Tank in 18/10 stainless steel with heat-diffusing bottom, provided with handles for excellent handling and easy removal during cleaning and maintenance.
There are nevertheless “RESIDUAL RISKS” which cannot be completely eliminated, which are highlighted in this manual by the wording “CAUTION”; they are related to the risks of contusion or electroshock during loading and unloading the product, cleaning, or when using the machine improperly.

4.4 – Preliminary check
4.4 – Preliminary check
Check the integrity and correct position of all the components of the cutter before any operation. Then check the correct functioning of all its components.
Proceed as follows:

1. Press the ON button (ref. 1 – Fig.7) and the OFF button (ref. 2 – Fig.7)
2. Verify that the machine stops if the tank-locking arm is rotated anti-clockwise (ref. 10 – Fig.1)
3. Verify that the revolution speed increases and decreases by rotating the SPEED knob (ref. 4 -Fig.7) clockwise and anti-clockwise
4. Press the PULSE button (ref. 3 – Fig.7) with brief pulses.

CHAP. 5 – USE

5.1 – Controls
The commands are placed on the body of the cutter (ref. 2 – Fig.1).
These include the ON button (1), the OFF button (2), the PULSE button (3), and the SPEED knob to regulate the speed (4) (Fig.7).
Use the ON button to switch the machine on, and OFF to switch the machine off, rotate the speed knob clockwise to increase the revolutions and anti-clockwise to reduce them.
Press the PULSE command for the pulse functioning of the machine.
5.2 – Loading
CAUTION! Food must only be loaded into the tank when the motor is not running and with the speed knob at a minimum.
Proceed as follows:

1. Rotate the arm in a clockwise direction (ref. 10 – Fig.1) until the lid can be removed (ref. 9 – Fig.1)

2. CAUTION!! Put the product inside the tank (ref. 8 – Fig.1), paying attention not to touch the blades with your hands; if very large pieces of food are used, dice them into small pieces manually before putting them inside the tank
   CAUTION!! Do not fill the tank more than 1/2 full

3. Avoid direct contact with the machine during use;

4. Put the lid back (ref. 9 – Fig.1) and rotate the arm to the closing position

5. Do not use the cutter at low speed for prolonged periods of time

6. Add any additional food during the process by removing the cover (ref. 6 – Fig.1) on the lid (ref. 9 – Fig.1)

7. At the end of the process, set the speed knob (ref. 4 – Fig.1) to a minimum and then stop the machine

8. The machine is provided with a device that switches it off after 30 seconds of use at minimum speed. The device is used to preserve the machine and stop the motor from overheating. If you use the machine at low speed, allow the machine to rest for at least 30 seconds.

5.3 – Blade sharpening
CAUTION!!
Blades need to be sharpened if you notice a reduction in cutting performance.
Proceed as follows (Fig.8):

1. Rotate the lever (ref. 1) in a clockwise direction to the position in which you can remove the lid (ref. 2)
2. remove (a) the blade holder (ref. 3)
3. take the sharpening stone provided (ref. (d) -Fig.3), and be very CAREFUL!!! pass it uniformly over the cutting side of the blades toward the outside until the blade is sharpened.

CHAP. 6 – CLEANING

CAUTION! Before performing any cleaning operations you must set the speed knob to a minimum (ref. 4 – Fig.7) and disconnect the power plug from the mains to completely
isolate the machine from the rest of the system.
6.1 – General information
