This handbook is divided in sections, chapters and subchapters in order to be consulted more easily.
SECTION
A section is the part of the handbook identifying a specific topic related to a machine part.
CHAPTER
A chapter is that part of a section describing an assembly or concept relevant to a machine part.
SUBCHAPTER
It is that part of a chapter detailing the specific component of a machine part.
It is necessary that each person involved in the machine operation reads and clearly understands
those parts of the handbook of his/her own concern, and particularly:
- The Operator must read the chapters concerning the machine star-up and the operation of
machine components.
- A skilled technician involved in the installation, maintenance, repair, etc., of the machine
must read all parts of this handbook.
ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION
Along with an instruction manual, each machine is supplied also with additional documentation:
- Part list: A list of spare parts which is delivered together with the machine for its
maintenance.
- Wiring diagram: A diagram of wiring connections is placed in the machine.
ATTENTION
Before using the machine read carefully the instruction handbook.
Pay attention to the safety instructions.

SAFETY
When using industrial equipment and plants, one must be aware of the fact that drive mechanisms
(rotary motion), high voltage components, as well as parts subject to high temperatures may cause
serious damage to persons and things.
Who is in charge of plant safety must be on the look-out that
-An incorrect use or handling shall be avoided
-Safety devices must neither be removed nor tampered with
-The machine shall be regularly serviced
Only original spare parts are to be used especially as far as those components with safety
-
functions are concerned (ex.: protection microswitches, thermostats).
To achieve the above, the following is necessary:
-At the working place an instruction manual relevant to the machine should be available.
-Such documentation must be carefully read and requirements must conse quently be met.
-Only adequately skilled personnel should be assigned to electrical equipment.
-Be on the look out that no technician will ever carry out interventions outside his own
knowledge and responsibility sphere.
QUALIFICATION OF THE STAFF
Staff attached to the machine can be distinguished according to training and responsibility as
follows:
OPERATOR
- A person who has not necessarily a high technical knowledge, just trained for ordinary operation
of the machine, such as: startup, stop, filling, basic maintenance (cleanout, simple blocking,
instrumentation checkings, etc.).
SKILLED ENGINEER
- A person enganged on more complicated operations of installation, maintenance, repairs, etc.
IMPORTANT!
One must be on the look-out that the staff does not carry out any operation outside its own sphere
of konwledge and responsibility.
NOTE:
According to the standard at present in force, a SKILLED ENGINEER is who, thanks to
- training, experience and education,
- knowledge of rules, prescriptions and interventions on accident prevention,
- knowledge of machine operating conditions,
is able to realize and avoid any danger and has also been allowed by the person in charge of plant
safety to carry out all kinds of interventions.
WARNING
When installing the machine, insert a differential magnetothermal protection switch on all poles
of the line, adequately sized to the absorption power shown on machine data plate and with contact
opening of 3 mm at least.
• Never put your hand into the machine, alike during production and cleaning operations.
Before carrying out any maintenance operation, make sure that the machine is in “STOP”
position and main switch has been cut out.
• It is forbidden to wash the machine by means of a bolt of water under pressure.
• It is forbidden to remove panels in order to reach the machine inside before having
disconnected the machine.
• CARPIGIANI is not responsible for any accident that might happen during operation,

CARPIGIANI recommends to always use high quality mix for ice cream production in order to
satisfy your customers, even the hardest-to-please ones. Any saving made to the prejudice of
quality will surely turn into a loss much bigger than the saving itself.
Bearing in mind the above statements, please take heed of the following suggestions:
• Make your mixes yourselves from high quality natural ingredients or buy them from reliable
companies.
• Follow closely instructions given by your mix supplier for the preparation of the mixes.
• Do not alter your mix supplier's recipies, by adding, for instance, water or sugar.
• Taste ice cream before serving it and start selling it only if entirely satisfactory.
• Make sure your staff always keeps the machine clean.
• Have your machine serviced always by companies authorized by CARPIGIANI.
