CHOOSING THE RIGhT LOCATIONS

Please make certain this countertop unit is located at a safé and secure position (on a stable, level surface) with easy access to the power supply. It is also desirable to have a

prep sink close by for easy cleaning.

BOWL CUTTER OPERATION Clean the BCI 8 Bowl Cutter before using, carefully following the cleaning instructions

on page 5.

Operating Tips:

All products should be clean and prepared for cutting beforehand. Product should he cut small enough to fit into the opening between the bowl cover

and the bowl.

For coarse cut, allow product to pass by the blades only once. For finer cut, allow product to pass by the blades until desired cut is obtained.

Your stainless bowl (Fig. I, Item 6) twist locks into place over our Univex safety sensor (Fig. 5, item 16). The safety sensor is to assure that the machine will flot

operate without the bowl correctly located in place.

Locate the bowl cover latch (Fig. 1, Item 4) at the rear of the bowl. This safety latch is

to assure that the bowl cover is in the full down and locked position before the BCI 8

will function. Rotate the latch clockwise 90° until it can rotate no longer to lock the cover in place. If either of these special safety features appear tobe malfunctioning,

STOP and call for assistance.

The bowl cover conceals the BC 18 blades and is designed to insure that only food can

go through the cutting zone while the machine is in operation. Do not attempt either

with hands or a foreign object to reach under this cover. Should an item be too

large and jam, shut off the machine, unlock and raise the cover to remove this item. In

addition, there is an indicator light in the START/STOP switch which when lit

indicates the machine is running.

PTO OPERATION

The power-take-off hub (Fig. 2, Item 3) accommodates / 12 tapered attachments such as

a Vegetable Slicer & Shredder, or a Meat & Food Chopper. Before installing attachments, tarit the BC 18 off. Remove the PTO cap (Fig.2, Item 1) and loosen the thumbscrew on the PTO hub(Fig.2, Item 14). Insure adaptor (Fig. 2, Item 2) isproperly

installed on the drive shaft. Insert the attachment with a slight twist until firmly in place.

Tighten the thumbscrew. Be sure to read and follow any safety instructions for

attachments that you operate on the PTO.

SAFETY NOTES Always turn off the BC 18 to install or remove attachments. Cover the PTO hub with

PTO cap wiìen not in use.

CLEANING

Before initiai cleaning and each cleaning thereafter, make certain your BC 18 is not

connected to the power source, and the switch is in the STOP position.

Rotate the bowl cover locking knob (Fig. 7, Item 11) counterclockwise 900 to the UNLOCK position which will allow the bowl cover to be raised to an OPEN

position. This cover can be removed by lifting it off its mounting shaft.

Slowly turn the knife shaft to (a) confirm it moves freely; (b) make certain there is

clearance between the knives and the bowl; (e) locate the rear blade slightly above

bowl lip for removal.

Unscrew the knife shall knob (Fig. 4, Item 18).

Carefully remove knife assembly.

Carefully twist the bowl clockwise (or unlocked position) and lift off. Remove comb (Fig. 7, Item 5) from the housing.

These items should be hand washed, rinsed and sanitized initially before and after each operation. Do not rinse with a hose. Do not use abrasive pads. After the pieces have dried, safely set the bowl back over safety sensor. Twist the

bowl counterclockwise locking it back into place.

Carefully reposition the knife assembly into the notch and secure with the knife shaft knob (Fig. 4, item ¡8). Confirm its proper position by mannally turning the shaft (Fig. 4, Item 13) to make certain there is proper clearance in full rotation.

Insert the comb (Fig. 7, Item 5) into the housing. Slide the bowl cover back onto its mounting shaft. Confirm that by rotating the bowl-locking knob clockwise into the

locked position, the cover (Fig. 1, Item 5) cannot be raised.

You are now ready to connect your Bowl Cutter to the power source and enjoy many

years of trouble free, labor saving performance!
