1 Basic Information

1.1 General description

The Procusini is an easy-to-use Procusini for use in commercial kitchen, e.g. in catering, event
gastronomy or bakery/confectionery.

It consists of a heatable cartridge holder, which is mounted to a positioning unit and operated via
WLAN. The x and y axis are controlled by a tooth belt, while the z axis and the extruder are set into
motion by threaded rods. The cartridge holder is located at the end of the y axis and during the
production process is moved upwards layer by layer by means of the z-motor. The production plate
represents the x axis and serves as a bearing surface for the pads to be printed (flexible production
mat; plates; breads etc.). The food is filled into food-safe cartridges or are available as food-safe
refills. These cartridges are inserted into the cartridge holder and if necessary heated to a
temperature specifically defined for the food item. There is no direct contact between the food item
located in the cartridge and the device itself.

For commercial use as defined by the use in compliance with regulations, the user is required to
comply with the given work safety provisions and the current rules and standards as well as
observing any new specifications for the entire service life of the machine. For use outside of the
European Union, the occupational safety legislation and regional stipulations are to be followed
according to all local, state and federal regulations.

In addition to the occupational safety notes in this manual, the valid safety- and accident prevention
regulations as well as the valid environmental protection stipulations for the location at which the
machine operates are to be observed and maintained:

Setup, location of operation

Place the Procusini onto a stable, horizontal, large enough area only. Please note that the production
plate moves from right to left when operating and thus requires enough space. Additionally, some
movement also occurs vertically. When selecting the operating location, please make sure that the
device is able to move in these directions.

Choose the operating location in a way that children cannot reach the product.

When setting up the device, please make sure that the power adapter is easily accessible in order to
quickly and easily shut off the device in the event of an error.

Do not place the machine in areas where extreme temperatures, strong vibrations, high humidity
(i.e. rain or steam), dust, or heavy mechanical stresses may occur.

Do not place any liquid-filled vessels (i.e. glasses, vases, etc.) on top of or in the vicinity of the
machine and never pour water over the machine. Fluids may enter the machine casing and impair
the electronic stability of the machine. Additionally, there is a high risk of fire or life-threatening
electrical shocks!

If such an event occurs, shut down the respective power supply plug completely (i.e. turn off the
circuit breaker and earth leakage circuit breaker) and then pull the power cord from the socket.
Disconnect all wires from the device. The entire product is not to be used again. Please contact a
specialized dealer or the manufacturer.

Do not place any sources of ignition such as stoves, fryers or burning candles next to or on top of the
device.

While setting up the machine, be sure that the power line is not squeezed or damaged by sharp
corners.

Take note of the additional safety instructions found in the individual chapters of this manual.
