INTRODUCTION TO
YOUR NEW VEGETABLE
PREPARATION MACHINE
CL 60 Series ”D”

The CL 60 is a versatile machine designed to
meet your professional needs. It can perform any
number of tasks, which you will gradually discover
as you use it.

The CL 60 Series “D” is built from stainless steel
(100% stainless steel motor base and automatic feed
head). It has been designed to operate at two speeds,
425 and 850 rpm, giving the user more control over
the speed and quality of the operation.

It can be fitted with any one of 4 different feed heads,
in order to increase the machine’s output, make the
user’s job easier and offer the most appropriate tool
for each type of preparation. The heads are designed
to be tilted in line with the motor base, in order to
reduce space and facilitate use.

The CL 60 is supplied with a wide range of plates
and grids to satisfy even the most demanding chefs
when it comes to processing fruit and vegetables, as
they can be used for slicing, julienne, grating,
shredding, dicing, pulping, ripple-cutting and French
fry.

Its numerous functions will open the door to a whole
new culinary world.

Thanks to its simple design, all components requiring
frequent handling for maintenance or cleaning can
be easily assembled and disassembled.

These instructions contain important information
designed to help the user get the most out of the CL 60
vegetable preparation machine.

All users should read the manual before operating
the machine. We have also included a few examples

of use to help you get the feel of your new machine
and appreciate its many advantages.

This

head

is not suitable for specific jobs such as :

- slicing long vegetables (which should be done

using the specially-designed tube feed heads),

- the preparation of bulky foodstuffs too big to be fed

into this head (the whole head “Pusher” feed head
has been designed to cope with these).

All types of cutting can be performed using this
head. However, when dicing vegetables, it is advi­sable to use the tube feed heads or pusher feed head
in order to avoid mis-cuts. A feed tray designed to
facilitate continuous input can be fitted to this head.

A rubber agitator is supplied and must
be used with the bulk feed attachment.

The agitator helps to guide the
vegetables into the cutting blade.

The crank is used to free large
vegetables which may become
jammed.

• WHOLE HEAD FEED “PUSHER” ASSEMBLY

The pusher feed assembly has
been specifically designed for
processing bulky vegetables
such as cabbage, celery,
lettuce, etc.. It features an
integrated tube for processing
long and fragile vegetables.

SWITCHING ON
THE MACHINE

• ADVICE ON ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Before plugging in your appliance, check that your
power supply corresponds to that indicated on the
machine’s serial number plate.

Three phase motors may rotate either direction. The
required motor rotation is counterclockwise.
Changing the motor rotation required a qualified
electrician.

A red arrow on the lid marks the blade rotation
direction.

• CONTROL PANEL

”OFF” button

2 green buttons :

“LOW” button for the low speed (425 rpm)

“HIGH” button for the high speed (850 rpm)

FUNCTIONS OF HEADS
AND THEIR TOOLS

• BULK FEED HEAD

This head is designed for
certain tasks involving
large quantities and is
suitable for grated carrot
and sliced potato, for
example.

7

ENGLISH

Two types of tools have been designed for the pusher­feed head:

1) The long locking nut which holds the
plate for processing all vegetables
except for cabbage.

2) The hollowing nut, which is used
solely to prepare cabbage. Thanks to
this tool, you can slice or grate a whole
cabbage without first having to chop
it up.

A special tool has also been designed
to remove this hollowing nut.

• TUBE FEED HEADS

STRAIGHT TUBE FEED HEAD

This head consists of two
straight tubes with a diameter
of 3 inches, a 2 inches insert
and two pushers. The insert
allows you to modify the
diameter of the tubes.

This head is designed for the preparation of long
vegetables such as carrots, cucumbers, leeks, etc., or
fragile fruit and vegetables such as tomatoes and
bananas.

The tubes can also be used as cutting guides for
special preparations requiring high cutting precision
and a limited number of mis-cuts.

ANGLE FEED HEAD

This head performs the same
functions as the one described
above for the straight tubes.
However it is different in that it
is equipped with a biais cut
tube especially designed for
slanted cutting.

No special tool is required to attach the disc.

ASSEMBLY

• BULK FEED HEAD

1) With the motor base
unit facing you, place the
discharge plate on the
motor shaft.

CLEANING

After removing the hinge pin and releasing the
fastening hook, remove the head and, take out the
plate, holding it by its edges, and if necessary, remove
the grid and its support followed by the discharge
plate.

Now clean all the parts.
The continuous feed head, discharge plates, and

cutting plates can be cleaned in a dishwasher.
However, we suggest that you use a mild (non­corrosive) detergent designed for “soft metals” such as
aluminum. Dishwashers are best avoided in order to
prevent the aluminum from becoming tarnished. We
recommend that you clean the attachments by hand
using a “soft metal safe” detergent. Clean the
attachments in a 3-pot sink system or according to
local health department regulations.

Never immerse the motor base in water. Clean it
with a damp (not dripping) cloth or sponge.

2) The CL 60 is fitted with a thermal safety device
which automatically stops the motor if the machine is
overloaded.

If this happens, allow the machine to cool completely
before restarting. If the machine has become jammed
press the off button and UNPLUG the machine
from the wall outlet. Remove the feed head and
Clear the jam (wear cut-resistant gloves). And res­tart by first pressing the reset button located on the
bottom of the motor base, then closing the
head/attachment and pressing the on button.

MAINTENANCE

• BLADES AND GRIDS

The blades on the slicing discs, the combs on the
julienne discs and the graters are all wearing parts,
which have to be changed every so often to maintain
constant high quality cutting.

• MOTOR SEAL

The seals around the motor shaft should be lubrica­ted regularly using a food-safe lubricant.

In order to keep the motor completely watertight, it is
advisable to check these seals regularly for wear and
tear and replace if necessary.

The seals can be easily replaced without having to
remove the motor, so we strongly advise you to ensure
that they are in good running order.

SAFETY

1) The CL 60 is equipped with a safety system that

turns the machine off when the pusher (on the pusher
feed head) is turned out away from the opening. The
machine will start again, once the pusher is swung
back into place over the feed opening.

W ARNING

French fries can be made using a special attachment,

available in two dimensions 8 x 8 mm and 10 x
10 mm.

IMPORTANT : The French fry cutting equipment

can only be used with the bulk feed head or tube
feed heads.

The discs are extremely sharp. Handle with care.

Do not open the feed head / attachment until
the motor has come to a complete stop.

Never tamper with the locking or safety
systems or defeat their purpose.

Never place anything other than food
products into the entry port.

Never put anything into the exit port.
Always use the food pushers to force the food

through the entry ports.
Do not overload the machine or apply excess

pressure with the food pushers.

ALWAYS UNPLUG YOUR MACHINE BEFORE
CLEANING (RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK).

Check that your detergent is suitable for
cleaning plastic parts. Some cleaning agents
are too alkaline (e.g. high levels of caustic
soda or ammonia) and totally incompatible
with certain types of plastic, causing them to
deteriorate rapidly.
