7 - Maintenance

ATTENTION!

All cleaning and maintenance operations must only be carried out with the
machine at a standstill and disconnected from the mains.
The area where maintenance operations are carried out must always be
kept clean and dry.
Do not allow unauthorized personnel to work on the machine.
All parts, including the utensil, must be replaced, if necessary, with original
spare parts from authorized dealers or directly from the manufacturer.

7.1 - Lubrication

The machine does not require any lubrication.

7.2 - Cleaning the machine
ATTENTION!

Disconnect the machine from the mains before cleaning it.
Do not clean the machine with jets of water.
Use only non-toxic detergents, which are expressly indicated for cleaning
components for foodstuff.

7.3 - Putting the machine out of service

The machine is made of materials such as aluminum, steel and copper,
therefore they do not require particular operations for scrapping.
Therefore, contact specific trash disposal companies and separate the
components according to their material.

6.3 - Using the meat grinder
1 Make sure the feed tension corresponds with the value shown on the

technical plate.
The tension indicator must be on to indicate it is connected.
2 Slightly tighten the ring nut of the meat grinder and put a little meat in,

press the start push button, making sure that the rotation direction of

the propeller is the same as the one indicated by the arrow (counter-

clockwise).
3 If the meat coming out is cut well the ring nut has been regulated

enough, if not tighten the ring nut again, until a perfect cut is obtained.
4 Stop the machine by pressing the stop push button.
5 A tool is not needed to loosen the ring nut. Unscrew the lever that

blocks that outlet once so that the ring nut is loose and can easily be

extracted. (models 12-22)
6 For models 32, pull the mushroom-head push button out so that the

outlet is unblocked and the ring nut can be unfastened.
7 After carefully cleaning, first assemble the outlet and block it with the

lever, in models 12 - 22; push it until it clicks in model 32; these

operations are necessary to ensure that the outlet is located in the right

position.

6 - Using the machine

6.1 - Prescriptions
ATTENTION!

Only authorized personnel may use the machine.
Before beginning work, the operator must ensure that all the guards are in
place and that the safety devices are fitted and in efficient working order. If
that is not the case, switch the machine off and contact the head of
maintenance.

The product to be ground must be in pieces that can enter inside the
loading inlet and must be pushed with the proper pushing device (pestle)

NEVER USE YOUR HANDS.

6.2 - Setting up the outlet or the proper pushing device (pestle).

The machine can be set up in three different meat cutting groups:
A - Enterprise or normal
B - Half UNGER
C - Total UNGER

- System -C-, (Total UNGER), is made up of: a propeller "1" to transport
the meat, a hammer mill plate "2", a first blade "3" and the
corresponding plate with holes "4", a second blade "5" with the final
drilled plate "6".

- System -B-, (Half UNGER), substitutes blade “5” and the plate “6” with
the spacer "7".

- System -A-, (Normal), is the simplest method, consisting only of the
transport propeller, a blade and an exit plate.

It is not possible to assemble the plates from groups -C- or -B– on models
with a grinding group -A-, the complete group must be changed.

24

5.3 - Checking the efficiency of the stop push button (fig. 5.3.1)

While the machine is connected to the electrical power supply and the
utensil is moving, press the stop push button. The machine must stop.

5.4 - Starting the machine (fig. 5.3.1)

To start the machine just press the start push button (the one with the
arrow on top, “1” Fig. 5.3.1), after having correctly connected the plug to
the electrical outlet and the machine starts.

5.5 - Stopping the machine (fig. 5.3.1)

To stop the machine just press the stop push button, “2” Fig. 5.3.1 and the
machine stops.
