1.0 INTRODUCTION
EPSILON
• The ground breaking EPSILON tabletop confectionary depositor requires less than 1 square
metre of space to operate.
• The unique travelling hopper system removes the need for a conveyor belt which means trays
can be loaded and unloaded in the most ergonomically efficient way – directly from the front.
• The EPSILON can be transported through a normal doorway and plugged into
a standard 13amp socket.
• Control is by a user friendly tri-colour touch screen (in 14 languages) and can be used
to store up to 96 programs.
• Robust stainless steel construction for durability and ease of cleaning.
• A matching stainless steel table is also available to make the EPSILON freestanding.

EPSILON
1 Never use a machine in a faulty condition and always report any damage.
2 Only trained engineers may remove parts from this machine if a tool is required.
3 Always ensure hands are dry before touching any electrical appliance (including
cable, switch and plug). NEVER move machinery by pulling on the power cords
or cables.
4 Ensure that the floor area around the Epsilon is clean to avoid slipping –
especially if carrying heavy hopper and template components to and from the
machine.
5 All operatives must be fully trained.
Use of the machine can prove dangerous if:
the machine is operated by untrained or unskilled staff
the machine is not used for its intended purpose
the machine is not operated correctly
All safety devices applied to the machine during manufacture and the
operating instructions in this manual are required to operate this machine
safely. The owner and the operator are responsible for operating this machine
safely.
6 People undergoing training on the machine must be under direct supervision.
7 Do not operate the machine with any panels or guards removed.
8 No loose clothing or jewellery should be worn while operating the machine.

10 The bakery manager or the bakery supervisor should carry out daily safety
checks on the machine.
11 Do not operate machine without the hopper template fitted correctly.
12 Due to the essential requirement for handling heavy components during cleaning,
it is recommended that protective footwear be worn when carrying out such
procedures.
CAUTION:
The feed hopper and pump assembly can exceed 25kg and will need to be lifted off
by two people, or dismantled into smaller components while still on the machine.

1 Ensure that the depositor is connected to the correct electric supply as specified on
the serial number plate on the side of the machine.
2 Ensure that the correct fuse rating is fitted in the electrical supply.
3 The support table should be level and strong enough to support the machine and
loaded hopper.
4 This machine should be lifted by more than one person.

DOUGH HOPPERS
BETWEEN PRODUCT MIX CHANGES
The feed hopper, pump assembly, template, nozzles etc. should be removed from
the machine and dismantled for thorough cleaning between product mix changes.
1. Open top safety guard (lift front and unhook the back edge) and remove excess
mixture remaining in the feed hopper.
2. Slacken template clamp strip nuts and remove fitted template from pump assembly
by sliding out while supporting it to avoid damage.
NOTE.
Thumbscrews only need to be released slightly to allow the template to slide away
from the pump assembly. If loosened too much, the template will have to be supported.

3 To reduce weight and bulk, separate and remove the empty feed hopper from the
pump assembly, whilst still on the machine, by unscrewing the wing nuts.
To gain access to the inner wing nut, slide the complete hopper away from the machine
body slightly (keep on support bars) - this will also disengage the pump assembly from
the drive shaft.
HOPPER WINGNUTS
Ensure that the wing nuts are placed where they will not be lost.

Take care to avoid damage to the sealing surface of the feed hopper during removal,
cleaning, assembly and storage.
1. After removing the feed hopper, check condition of feed hopper seal.
2. Unscrew the end cap retaining nuts from the accessible side of the pump assembly.
Ensure that the nuts are placed where they will not be lost.

9.0 PREPARING FOR OPERATION
1 Select template and nozzles required and fit as section 9a & 9b following.
Fill hopper with mix and close hopper guard.
It is recommended that when heavy mixes are used, the inside of the hopper should be
coated with vegetable oil and for lighter mixes such as meringue, dampen with water. The oil
or water will help the mix to settle down the hopper walls and prevent air being sucked in.
2 Connect power cable to the correct electrical supply.
Make sure stop button is in released position (turn clockwise if required).
3 Select an existing program or create a new program through the on-screen menus.
4 The machine is now ready for operation.
REMOVE GUARD TO FILL
HOPPER.
REPLACE CORRECTLY.
(MACHINE WILL NOT OPERATE WITHOUT
THIS GUARD IN POSITION)
