INSPECTION

This G PEELER has been inspected and tested at the factory, however the user should perform an
external inspection and electrical check prior to use. The electrical data listed on the nameplate of the
drive unit should be the same as the user’s electrical supply. Any damage should be reported to the
carrier immediately and any shortage or deviation of parts should be reported to Univex Corporation.

INSTALLATION

Remove the G Peeler from the shipping carton and remove the cover, shipping spacer, water inlet hose
and any literature packed inside the peeler. Place the peeler on a sink drain board or any suitable loca­tion. Be sure that the drain outlet (Figure 1 [6]) is located so that water and peelings will discharge into
the sink.

Install the cover. Position the water inlet tube (Figure 1 [2]) over the opening in the cover. Raise the
tube high enough to allow the cover to be installed and removed without interference.

Slip the small end of the flexible hose (Figure 1 [3]) over the water inlet tube. Attach the large end of
the flexible hose onto the cold water faucet. Close and latch the discharge door (Figure 1 [7]).

CAUTION: Before making electrical connection, check the specifications on the nameplate to make

sure that they agree with those on your electrical service. Plug the electrical power supply
cord (Figure 1 [4]) into an available and proper AC outlet.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Once the G Peeler has been properly installed, adjust the cold water faucet for a small flow of water.
This water will flush away peelings through the drain outlet when the peeler is operating.

To start the peeler, Turn the timer knob (Figure 1 [5]) beyond the desired time and then turn it back to
three minutes. This is the average time required to peel a 20 pound load of potatoes.

Insert the potatoes or other vegetables through the opening in the cover (Figure 1 [1]).

The timer will automatically shut the peeler off when it has time out. Inspect the vegetables. If you are
satisfied with the peeling, unlatch the discharge door. Have a receptacle ready to receive the vegetables
or discharge them directly into the sink. To eject the vegetables, start the peeler by turning the timer,
hold the discharge door partly open. The rotation of the peeling disk will eject the vegetables. once the
peeler is empty, turn the timer off.

Peeling time will vary with the size, shape and condition of the potatoes or vegetables. The three
minute average peeling time may have to be increased or decreased accordingly. The estimated capacity
of 20 pounds is based on US Grade 1 potatoes. Large or long potatoes may require a slight reduction in
load to obtain satisfactory results.

CAUTION: DO NOT OVERLOAD THE PEELER. THERE SHOULD BE ROOM IN THE PEELER

FOR COMPLETE TUMBLING OF THE VEGETABLES AT ALL TIMES FOR
PROPER PEELING TO OCCURS.

Noise emissions for this peeler are below 70 db(A)
