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 as 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

The combined vegetable slicer/cutter is a preparation machine
that provides two functions:

1) Cutting vegetables (cut - slice - shred - grate - ) Cutting chips
and dices.

2) Cutter-mixer for reducing condiments, emulsions, and sauces,
various liquidising operations, and cuttering meat. The vegeta­ble cutting function is designed to allow cutting of all types of
products, by means of a lever-operated hopper. This combined
appliance equipped with the lever-operated hopper and cutter is
very appropriate for restaurant and small community kitchens.

• Control panel

A ON switch, to operate at the selected speed.
B STOP switch.
C ON switch, to operate at the selected speed, while held

pressed in.

E Display of selected speed
F Increase speed
G Decrease speed

1.2

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 POSITIONING AND ORGANISATION

Always place the machine on a strong, fl at, stable
support.

P2 : Net weight of vegetable slicer
P3 : Net weight of cutter

• On a table of height between 700 and 900 mm maximum, the
vegetable slicer can take a standard receiving bowl of maximum
height 200 mm.

• On a functional, mobile stand (delivered as an option).

• When using large bowls, place the vegetable slicer at the
edge of the table or use a mobile stand.

2.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

ATTENTION!!

Connection to the electrical power supply must be done according to proper professional practice by a qualifi ed and authorised
person (see current standards and legislation in the country of installation).

If an adapter is used on the socket, a check must be made that the electrical characteristics of this adapter are not lower than
those of the machine.

Do not use multiple plugs
The AC power supply to the machine must comply with the following conditions;

- Maximum voltage variation: ±5%

- Maximum frequency variation: ±1% on a continuous basis, ± 2% over short periods

ATTENTION: the electrical installation must comply (for design, creation and maintenance) with the legal and standard
requirements in the country where used.

- Check that the electric mains voltage, the value shown on the specifi cation plate and the label on the power cable are the
same.

- The machine’s electrical power supply must be protected against voltage surges (short-circuits and excess voltages) by using
fuses or thermal relays of the appropriate gauge relative to the place of installation and machine specifi cations – see the spe­cifi cations shown in column G of fi gure 2.3a

ATTENTION: Concerning protection against indirect contact (depending on the type of power supply provided and
connection of the exposed conductive parts to the equipotential protection circuit), refer to point 6.3.3 of EN 60204-1 (IEC
60204-1) with the use of protection devices for automatic shut-off of power in the event of an insulation fault with a TN or
TT, system, or for the IT system, with the use of a permanent insulation or differentials controller for automatic shut-off.
The requirements of IEC 60364-4-41, 413.1 must apply for this protection.

For example: in a TT system, a differential circuit breaker must be installed upline of the power supply, with a suitable
power cut-off (e.g.: 30 mA) on the earthing installation for the place where it is planned to install the machine.

ATTENTION: Failure to comply with these instructions means the customer runs the risk of machine failure and/or acci­dents due to direct or indirect contacts.

• Motor specifi cations:
A Number of phases (1 single phase)
B Nominal voltage range in volts
C Frequency (Hertz)
D Nominal power (Watts)
E Nominal current (Amperes)
F Rating of fuse for protecting the electrical line (Amperes)

• The combined appliance runs on single-phase current.

• Warning for the installer:
This electronic combined appliance is fi tted with a fi lter which

discharges disturbance from the network directly to earth without
passing through the variator. In order to be effi cient, the earth
connection for the installation must be good quality, for otherwise
disturbances may transit via the variator and damage it.

Earthing is mandatory, using a green/yellow
conductor.

NO EARTH PLUG = NO PROTECTION =
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION = RISK OF FAILURE

Note: The earth values are defi ned according to the residual
differential current. (See standard NFC 15100 and PROMOTE­LEC guide). Non-compliance with these instructions may result
in invalidation of the warranty.

TRK2 GB 10 06

2.3

No damage caused by an earth connection fault will be covered
by the warranty.

In certain cases depending on the protection differentials
it may be necessary to install SI (Super Immunity) type
devices to avoid any inappropriate triggering.

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.
