Introduction

The User Manual contains useful information for the user on
how to work correctly and in complete safety, and is designed
to make it easier to use the machine (called «machine» or
«appliance» below).

What follows is in no case intended to be a long list of warnings
and constraints, but rather a series of instructions meant to
improve the service provided by the machine in every respect,
and particularly to avoid a series of injuries or damage to equi­pment that might result from inappropriate procedures for use
and management.

It is essential that all the people responsible for transporting,
installing, commissioning, using, maintaining, repairing or dismant­ling the machine should consult this manual and read it carefully
before proceeding with the various operations, in order to avoid
any incorrect or inappropriate handling that might be result in
damage to the machine or put people’s safety at risk.

Introduction

1.1 DESCRIPTION

• This cutter is a machine designed for cookery professionals
for mincing, mixing, emulsifying, liquidising, kneading, etc. and
can be used to process all types of foodstuffs (meat, vegetables,
fruits, condiments, pastry, mayonnaise, etc.).

• For special preparations other than foodstuffs, (PLEASE ASK
US FOR DETAILS).

It is just as important that the Manual should always be available
to the operator and it should be kept carefully where the machine
is used ready for easy and immediate consultation in case of any
doubt, or in any case, whenever the need arises.

If after reading the Manual, there are still any doubts concerning
how to use the machine, please do not hesitate to contact the
Manufacturer or approved After Sales Service provider, who
is constantly available to ensure quick and careful service for
improved machine operation and optimum effi ciency.

Note that the safety, hygiene and environmental protection stan­dards currently applicable in the country where the machine is
installed must always be applied during all phases of machine
operation. Consequently it is the user’s responsibility to ensure
that the machine is operated and used solely under the optimum
safety conditions laid down for people, animals and property.

2.2 LOCATION

• The cutter is designed to be fi tted onto a work top (table, base,
etc.) of between 700 and 900 mm maximum in height. Its four
feet ensure that it remains perfectly stable.

2.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• There are two versions of the cutter available:

- Single phase - one voltage - one speed

- Three phase - one voltage - two speeds

• Before connecting the machine to the electrical power supply,
check that the voltage of the electrical system is the same as
that marked on the rating plate and the power cable.

• The machine must be protected by a differential circuit breaker
and a fuse of the size given in column G of the characteristics
table.

• Motor characteristics:

B Number of phases (1 single phase or 3 three phase)
C Nominal voltage in volts (value, range or commutation)

2.3

• The cutter does not need to be fi xed in place and may be
moved easily.

D Frequency (Hertz)
E Nominal power (Watts)
F Nominal current (Amperes)
G Size of fuse for protecting the electrical line (Amperes)
H Indicative electrical consumption (kWh)

1) Single phase motor

• A 2 pin + earth single phase wall socket with a 10/16 A fuse
is required.

2) Three phase dual voltage motor

• A 3 pin + earth standardised wall socket with a 20 A fuse is
required, as well as a matching watertight plug for the power
cable.

The machine must be earthed using the green and yellow
wire.

• Check the direction of rotation of the rotor at both speeds:

- Press the control lever (see § 3.1).

- Check the direction in which the rotor is turning through the
transparent cover (anti-clockwise - as per the arrow marked
on the rotor handle).

- If it is turning in the opposite direction, change over the two
phase wires in the plug.

Use, Safety

3.1 OPERATION - SAFETY

• User safety is ensured by:

- The motor stopping when the lid is unlocked.

- The need to turn the control lever to 0 before starting up (no
volt release).

- The braked stoppage of the motor before access may be
gained to the rotor.

- The progressive evolution from low to high speed and vice
versa (three phase version only).

- Operation using continual pressure to control the development
of the products being processed.

- The automatic locking of the rotor when it rotates linked to the
angling of the blades (DITO SAMA patent).

- The size of the lid spout which allows products to be added
in mid-cycle.

- The design of the bowl (leak resistant tube).

- T

he easy dismantling of the bowl, the lid and the rotor for cleaning.

To PAT test the Electrolux Range of Food Preparation Equipment,
the PCB board needs to be disconnected before any test is done.
This is due to the fact that the boards are fi tted with a grounding
diode that can give incorrect result during such a test. Also on
a standard appliance a fl ash test of 25 amps and up to 3000v is
used but, as you would expect, to use this on equipment, which
has a printed circuit, board would be quite destructive to that
board. We would recommend the use of a PAT tester approved
for computer systems which use a lower rate of amps.

The appliance is perfectly safe and is CE certifi cated. There are
two ways to get overcome this problem.

· Disconnect the board as instructed and test using test for
PC’s,

· Or install the mixer on a fused spur (no plug) as this takes it
away from being a portable appliance and the PAT test is then
not needed.

• Normal operation of the machine is obtained if:

- The lid is correctly locked onto the bowl handles and the body
locking pin.

a) Continuous operation: I and II:

- Push the control lever from position 0 to I, low speed, then if
required, move it to position II for high speed (cutter - three
phase only).

Note:

- Avoid changing too quickly from the position 0 to II, to allow
the contactor to change also.

- Do not force the stop positions, as this may damage the
switch.

- Do not move the lever roughly.

- Avoid leaving cutter running empty for more than fi ve minutes
(overheating of rotor).

-

-

b) Operation with continual pressure:

- Keep the lever pressed down in the position, low speed,
which allows delicate work to be controlled.

c) Stoppage:

- Place the lever in the 0 position, then unlock the cover.

Note: Avoid stopping the cutter by unlocking the cover.

3.2 DIFFERENT EQUIPMENT:

• As standard, the cutter has a rotor with two very hard stainless
steel blades, moulded on at an angle. The sharpening of the
«micro teeth» blades means that all types of work may be carried
out: (see table § 3.5).

- mincing of meats and chopping of parsley, garlic, onions,
etc.

- preparation of butters, mayonnaise, purées, etc.

3.2

- kneading of all types of pastries.

- liquidising of shellfi sh and fi sh and grinding of breadcrumbs,

Note:

- For liquidising and grinding, it is preferable to use a special

- A rotor with smooth blades is available on request (ASK FOR
