FOREWORD

This manual has been drawn up to provide the customer with all information regarding the machine and the Standards connected to the same, as well as the use and maintenance instructions that allow the object to be used in the best way possible, maintaining its efficiency through time. This manual must be given to persons appointed to using the machine and its periodical maintenance.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE MACHINE

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
The cutter must only be used by trained staff, which must be perfectly aware of the Safety Standards contained in this manual.

• In the event of staff turnover, envision training time.

• Before performing any cleaning or maintenance operation, disconnect the machine’s plug from the mains power supply.

• When intervening on the machine for maintenance or cleaning (and therefore guards are removed), assess residual risks thoroughly.

• During maintenance or cleaning, remain concentrated on the operation in progress.

• Check the state of the power supply cable regularly; a worn cable, or however not integral, represents a serious electrical danger.

• If the machine should imply or demonstrate malfunctioning, do not use it and do not intervene directly to repair; contact the “After-sales Centre”.

• Do not use the machine for frozen products, meat and fish with bones or any non-foodstuffs. Do not insert fingers into the hole on the lid with the machine operating.
  The manufacturer is relieved of all liability in the following cases:

  • the machine is tampered with by unauthorised staff;
  • components are replaced by non-original spare parts;
  • if the instructions given in this manual are not followed thoroughly;
  • the surfaces of the machine are treated with unsuitable products.

SAFETY DEVICES INSTALLED ON THE MACHINE

mechanical safety devices
For that regarding mechanical safety, the machine described in this manual satisfies the 2006/42/CE Directive.
Safety devices are obtained with (see 1.3.3) interlocked lid and processing tank.

electrical safety devices
Regarding electrical safety, the machine described in this manual satisfies the 2006/95/CE and 2004/108/CE Directives.
The machine is provided with:

• Mechanical micro switches, which make the machine stop if the lid is removed (see FIG.n°1), not allowing switch-on if said guard is not in the closed position;
• Relay in the command circuit, which requires voluntary re-start of the machine if there is an accidental power cut.
  In spite of the CE professional cutter being provided with regulatory measures for mechanical and electric protections (both during operation and cleaning and maintenance phases), residual risks exist, which cannot be eliminated totally, recalled in this manual by the wording ATTENTION.
  These are concerned with the cutting hazard deriving from handling the cutters during product loading and when cleaning and sharpening the cutte

DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE

general description
The CE professional cutter has been designed and manufactured by our company, with the precise purpose of chopping, shredding, mixing, emulsifying, kneading food products (e.g. vegetables, meat, bread, etc.) and to guarantee:

• maximum safety regarding use, cleaning and maintenance;
• maximum hygiene, obtained thanks to a detailed selection of materials that come into contact with the food stuffs, and with the elimination of edges in the cutter that come into contact with the product, in a way to obtain simple and total cleanliness as well as easy disassembly;
• strength and stability of all components;
•  very easy handling.

construction features
The CE professional cutter is manufactured entirely in plastic material compatible with foodstuffs. This guarantees contact with the foodstuffs (hygiene) and the resistance to acids and salts as well as high resistance to oxidation. The cutters are in tempered and ground cutlery steel (AISI 420); they allow to cut, shred, whip and knead without having ever to change the tools.

If the machine is installed in countries with particular Standards, dispose of the packaging in compliance with that prescribed by the Standards in force.

INSTALLATION

POSITIONING THE MACHINE
The surface on which the machine is situated must consider the dimension of support indicated in Tab.1 (on the basis of the model), and therefore be large enough; it must be level, dry, smooth, strong and stable and have a height from the ground of about 80 cm. Moreover, the machine must be positioned in a non-saline environment with max. humidity of 75% and at a temperature between +5°C and +35°C; therefore in environments that do not lead to malfunctioning of the same.

ELECTRIC CONNECTION
The machine is supplied with a power supply cable with section of 3x1mm²; length 1.5 m and a “SHUKO” plug. Connect the 230 Volt 50 Hz machine and position a 10A, ∆ I = 0.03A circuit breaker switch. At this point, check that the earth plant functions perfectly. Also check that the data given on the technical-serial number plate (FIG. n°4) corresponds to the data given on the ship- ping and transport documents.
