Safety and Warranty

FORBIDDEN USES

The machine must only be used for the purposes expressly intended by the manufacturer. In particular:

• Do not use the machine to grate food products other than cheese, bread and the like.
• Do not use the machine if it has not been correctly installed with all the protections intact and correctly assembled to avoid the risk of severe injury.
• Do not access electrical components without having previously disconnected the machine: risk of electrocution.
• Do not work products that are bigger than what can be totally contained in the feeding inlet.
• Do not wear clothes that do not comply with safety regulations. Consult your employer for safety regulations and the safety devices required.
• Do not use the machine if it is not working correctly.
• Before starting the machine make sure that any dangerous condition has been appropriately eliminated. If a fault occurs, stop the machine and notify persons in charge of maintenance.
• Do not allow unauthorized personnel to carry out work on the machine.

In the event of emergency treatment due to an accident caused by electrical shock, first remove the victim from the conductor (as he will be unconscious). This operation is dangerous as the victim is a conductor in this case and touching him could cause electrocution. Therefore disconnect the contact directly from the power supply valve or, if this is not possible, distance the victim using insulating material (wooden or pvc sticks, fabric, leather, etc.). A doctor should be promptly called and the patient should be taken to the hospital.

PROTECTIONS AND SAFETY DEVICES

ATTENTION!
Before using the machine make sure that the devices are correctly positioned and in perfect working order. At the beginning of each work shift check that they are fitted and working properly; if not, notify the head of maintenance

1. Microswitch on the lever.
   The machine is outfitted with a microswitch on the lever of the inlet. This works by blocking the machine when the lever remains lifted or the inlet is completely disassembled.

2. Microswitch on the container.
   The machine is outfitted with a microswitch on the plexiglass container. When the container is extracted the machine stops

ATTENTION!
Do not tamper with the safety devices in any way.

RESIDENTIAL USERS : Vendor assumes no liability for parts or labor coverage for component failure or other damages resulting from installation in non-commercial or residential applications. The right is reserved to deny shipment for residential usage; if this occurs, you will be notified as soon as possible.

1 YEAR PARTS AND LABOUR WARRANTY

Within the warranty period, contact Omcan Inc. at 1-800-465-0234 to schedule an Omcan authorized service technician to repair the equipment locally. Unauthorized maintenance will void the warranty. Warranty covers electrical and part failures, not improper use.

Installation

ATTENTION!
The area where you intend to install the machine must be flat and solid. Furthermore, the machine must be positioned with ample space around it. This enables greater maneuverability during working phases and guarantees access for periodic maintenance. Ensure sufficient lighting around the machine to guarantee correct visibility for the machine operator

MOVING THE MACHINE

ATTENTION!
Lift the machine with a forklift of suitable capacity. Check the stability and positioning of the weight on the forks, especially along uneven, slippery or inclined paths. When moving the machine keep the load as low as possible to guarantee greater stability and visibility. Stabilize the grip by widening the forks of the forklift.

CONNECTION TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

ATTENTION!
Make sure the electrical source corresponds to the value reported on the identification plate of the machine. Each operation should be carried out only by specialized personnel authorized by the appropriate supervisor. Connect the machine to a network with an efficient floor plug. Connect the cable to the 230 V/50 Hz single-phase electrical supply network, inserting a 16-Amp magnetothermic differential switch. For machines with voltages different from those mentioned consult the manufacturer. If the feeding cable needs to be extended, use a cable with the same section as the one supplied by the manufacturer.

Operation

RUN GRATER WITH DRY BREAD BEFORE INITIAL USE TO CLEAN IT

1. Stop pushbutton:
2. Black color.
3. Press to stop the machine.
4. The led on the pushbutton lights up only when the stop pushbutton is pressed.
5. Start pushbutton:
6. Gray color.
7. Press to start the machine.
8. Lit indicator of connection to the mains:
9. White color.
10. It indicates the connection of the machine to the network

Operation

START UP AND STOP

CHECKING THE CORRECT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

ATTENTION!
Check that the feeding line corresponds to the value reported on the identification plate of the machine and that it is outfitted with an efficient floor plug

1. Put the plug into the electrical outlet.
2. Set the differential switch in position “I”. The lit indicator, indicating that the machine is powered, must be illuminated.
3. Press the pushbutton to start and immediately afterwards press the stop one, checking the rotation direction of the roller.

NOTE
The presser must be in a low position.

The roller rotation direction must be the same as the one indicated by the arrow.

CHECKING THE PRESENCE AND EFFICIENCY OF PROTECTIONS AND SAFETIES

1. Microswitch on the lever.
   While the machine is running lift the presser until the microswitch intervenes and stops the machine. Keep the presser still in the point in which the microswitch intervenes and check that the space between the loading inlet and the presser is such to block fingers from entering. If this is not the case contact an authorized reseller or the manufacturer.

2. Microswitch on the lever.
   While the machine is running extract the plexiglass container and make sure that the machine stops.

CHECKING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE STOP PUSHBUTTON
While the machine is connected to the power supply and the utensil is moving press the pushbutton.

START UP

• Set the differential switch fitted upstream at “I”. The light indicator will light up, indicating that the machine is powered.
• Press the start pushbutton to start the machine.

NOTE
If the presser is in an “open” position the machine will not run, therefore it will have to be lowered.

STOP

• Press the stop pushbutton to stop the running of the machine; the light indicator will remain on to indicate that the machine is powered.
• Then set the differential switch installed upstream at “0”, in this way disconnecting the machine.

NOTE
Each time a work shift finishes or the machine is left to rest, the differential switch must be left set at “0”.

USING THE SIEVE
The extractable sieve “1” in stainless steel enables obtaining a uniformly grated product, avoiding sieving. It must be requested upon ordering the machine.

Maintenance

ATTENTION!
Every maintenance and cleaning operation on the grater must only be done with the machine at a standstill, disconnected from the power supply. The area where maintenance operations are carried out must always be kept clean and dry. Do not allow unauthorized personnel to work on the machine. Any replacement of parts must be made with original spare parts at authorized work shops or directly by the manufacturer.

ATTENTION!
Disconnect the machine from the electrical supply before cleaning it. Do not clean the machine with jets of water. Only use non-toxic detergents, designated for cleaning components for use with food products.

PUTTING OUT OF ORDER
The machine is made of materials such as aluminum, steel and copper; therefore they do not require particular operations for scrapping. Therefore use companies specialized in trash disposal, separating the components according to material.
