4.2 General description

The machine offers the user:

- maximum safety when in use, during cleaning and ordinary maintenance;

- maximum hygiene from the use of stainless materials or adequately protected against

oxidization together with an attentive design of all the parts that come into contact with food;

- maximum cutting precision and capacity together with sturdiness and reliability of the

structure;

- the chance to work continuously. The machine is essentially made up of a base that holds a circular blade that is inclined, operated by an electric motor, which slices the food and a sliding carriage on bars, placed under the above mentioned base, which in turn supports the food plate, parallel to the cutting edge of the blade. The thickness of the slice is regulated by a thickness plate behind the blade; this plate, on which the food is placed, can be moved transversally to the blade at the thickness of the desired slice. All the components of the machine are made of a light aluminum alloy and magnesium Peraluman 3, polished and anodized, in stainless steel and plastic for food products as according to the sanitary regulations in force so the structure is sturdy, reliable, easy to clean and does not alter in time. Designed for high production levels, they can cut great amounts of products. The slicing machines are equipped with two electric motors (one for blade rotation, one for carriage movement) which allow both automatic and manual cutting. The machine has a sharpener which is extremely easy and safe to use. The food plate, transparent protections, slice deflector, sharpener and blade cover can be removed for cleaning.

The life of the machine depends strictly on working conditions and the care taken when using the machine. Carefully follow the instructions for use and the maintenance norms listed below.

4.2.1 Residual risks

WARNING: The safety ring around the blade is made according to the European

regulation (EN 1974:1998) but this protection does not completely eliminate risks in the sharpening area

DO NOT use the machine if you are not in perfect psychological and physical conditions and NOT allow anyone to get close during use. Operate with great attention; NOT get distracted!

Slice only the permitted products; please do NOT try any cutting test with prohibited products.

WHEN CLEANING, LUBRICATING SHARPENING THE BLADE, ALWAYS USE PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND CUT RESISTANT TO TEARING.

Use and maintenance

5. INSTALLATION

5.1. Installing the machine

The slicing machine must be placed on a horizontal flat surface which is stable and non-slip, suitable for sustaining the weight of the machine and the food; a support column with top is available on request. We advise a height of the work top of about 800-900mm. WARNING: Check that there is nothing that can get in the way of the meat table and the food that is to be cut on the plate.

5.2 Electrical connection

The machine must be installed close to an EEC regulation socket in a system which conforms to the regulations in force with:

magnetothermal protection;

automatic differential switch;

grounding system.

Before connecting, verify that the electric supply mains is suitable for the machine by checking the technical data plate on the machine.

The slicer is fitted with a power supply cord of about 2m length, complete with a plug to allow a simple disconnection from the electric supply mains. ALWAYS indicate the presence of the power supply cord if the slicer cannot be installed near a socket and if in the installation zone there is a transit of people. If the power supply cord is not long enough you will require the technical assistance service and do not proceed with a temporary electrical connection.

5.3 Checking direction of blade rotation (only for machines with three phase motor)

When you plug on the electrical cable, check that the light above the off button comes on and then start the blade by pressing the button ON. Check that it turns counterclockwise when looking at the machine from the blade cover disc side. If the blade turns in the opposite direction (clockwise) immediately stop the machine and call a professionally qualified person to change the position of the wires of two of the phases at the plug terminals.

Check that the food plate and food press both slide. Check the function and the regulation of the thickness gauge plate.

6. USING THE SLICER

Before the first use of the machine, carry out a thorough cleaning, as described in paragraph 6.2.

You must load the products when the machine is turned off in order to avoid hits that could damage the blade.

Check that the slicer is properly connected to the electrical line and that the slice thickness regulator is positioned on “0”; The off button light must be on and you have to see on one led of the STROKE button light and one led of the SPEED button.

6.1 Manual use

• Turn the function mode selector knob (21) counterclockwise;

• Put the product to be sliced on the food plate (5) up to against the thickness gauge plate (18)

and block it;

• Start the blade pressing the ON button;

• Regulate the thickness of the slice as necessary (4) and start manual operation by moving

the carriage with the handle of the food plate (13).

• Use the handle of the food press (6) if the weight and the size of the product do not allow a

proper cutting.

6.2 Automatic use (push button control button)

• Turn the function mode selector knob (21) clockwise;

• Put the product to be sliced on the food plate (5) up to against the thickness gauge plate (18)

and block it;

• Regulate the thickness of the slice as necessary (4);

• Start the machine pressing the ON button. In this way blade and food plate carriage start

together;

• When you start the carriage movement there is only one led on for SPEED light, and you can

increase the speed pressing once or twice the SPEED button;

• When you start the carriage movement there is only on led on for the STROKE light and if

you want to increase the carriage run you have to press once or twice the STROKE button.

Page 13

Use and maintenance

Note: when you push the OFF button, you stop the blade and the carriage movement. But the slicer keeps the settings regarding speed and stroke, so when you push the ON button the slicer restarts with the same carriage run and speed before the stopping.

If you want to stop the carriage movement, you can turn the function mode selector knob counterclockwise. You can return to the automatic mode turning again the function mode selector knob and starting the blade pressing the ON button.

Note: you can lose the settings only plugging off the electrical cable.

Slice counter (if present)

The slice counter counts from 99999 to 0, The slice counter counts from 0 to 99999, when the count is exhausted the carriage stops autonomously. You can set total cuts in single units, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands. The setting is from right to left, one digit at a time until the last one. (insert the 1st digit before the 2nd) The display is red LED. During the count, the IN indicator lights up. Click the S button, the unit display flash. Click the ▲ button to se the desired number. Repeat the operation for setting the 2nd, 3rd, 4th e 5th digit. When the display no longer flashes, click R button. The slice counter is now setting for the desired number of slices.

6.2 Cleaning the slicer

The machines must be properly cleaned at least once a day; if necessary even more. If the machines have not been used for a while they must be cleaned before use as well.

PRODUCTS TO BE USED

Only use hot water and a biodegradable detergent for dishes with a 7-8 PH, at a temperature of no lower than 30°C using a soft, spongy cloth and nylon brush for the sharp food press.
