size, please refer to the measurements given in Tab. 1. The work surface must
be level dry, smooth, solid and stable. The appliance must be located in a
non-salty environment with a max humidity value of 75% and with a temperature
between +5° and +35°C; and however, always in areas and environments that do
not cause any type of malfunction to the appliance.
CONNECTING TO THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
Mozzarella cheese cutter with a single-phase motor: The mozzarella cheese
cutter comes supplied with a 3 x 1,5 mm2 section (thickness) and ≅ 1.5 m long
power cable and with a SHUKO plug. Connect the appliance to a 230V./50Hz power
supply, interposing a differential thermo-magnetic switch type 10A, ∆ I =
0.03A. At this point make sure the main earth circuit functions correctly.
Also check that the information given on the technical data and serial number
plate (FIG. n°4) corresponds to the information given in the accompanying
documents.
Mozzarella cheese cutter with a three-phase motor
The mozzarella cheese cutter comes supplied with a 5 x 1,5 mm² section
(thickness) and 5.1 ≅m. long power cable. Use a CEI (red) plug to connect the
appliance to a three-phase supply 400V./50Hz source , interposing a
differential thermo-magnetic switch type 10 A, ∆I = 0.03 A. At this point make
sure the earth circuit functions correctly. Before actually connecting the
appliance to the three-phase power supply, check that the disk turns in the
right direction. To do this, press the start button “I” (see FIG. n.°8) and
then immediately press the stop button “0”. The disk should turn in an anti-
clockwise direction when facing it (see FIG. 5): if rotation is incorrect
rotation is incorrect invert two of the three power supply wires either in the
plug or in the socket The three-phase motor mounted on the mozzarella cheese
cutter can run off a 230 V. three-phase tension or off a 400V tension supply.
Unless otherwise specified, all connections are for a 400V supply. If the
appliance has to be adapted to a 230V three-phase circuit call the “SERVICE
CENTRE ” for assistance.
