Caution -READ BEFORE OPERATING- Caution
Varimixer recommends that mixer operators be at least 18 years of age and be thoroughly trained on
the use, cleaning and lubrication of the mixer.
This manual should be seen as an integral part of the mixer and should be kept by the machine
throughout its working life.
Before the machine is commissioned, it is important to read these instructions thoroughly.
The manufacturer may update the product manual without updating this copy of the manual
Varimixer recommends that the following precautions be adopted to help make the mixer operation
safer and more efficient.
........- All operators should be at least 18 years of age.
- All operators should be thoroughly trained before being allowed to operate the mixer.
- NEVER reach into the bowl when the mixer is running.

insTallaTion and fixing:
The ambient temperature around the machine must not exceed 113
If the mixer is placed on a table, it must always be bolted into the table top. The bolts xing the mixer on the pallet can be used
for this, no nuts are needed as there are threads in the bottom plate of the mixer (see page 5).
Electrical connection:
For the benet of service staff, it should be clear to see when the mains plug to the mixer has been removed from the socket in
the wall.
Ensure that the voltage, phase and hertz printed on the identication plate of the mixer are the same as that at the place of
installation. The identication plate is located at the top of the right side of the mixer. Be sure the mixer is properly connected
to the incoming power supply and the ground or earth connection is made. The arrow on the front of the planetary head (see
drawing 2, page 1), indicates the direction of rotation of the planetary head. On three-phase motors the direction of rotation can
be changed by interchanging two phases of the connecting cable or the motor. Electrical connections must be made in accordance with local regulations.
commissioning:
Bowl, tools and safety guard should be cleaned before use – see section on Cleaning, page 6.
recommended Use of The machine:
The machine is designed for the manufacture of products that do not trigger any reactions or release substances that may be
harmful to the user when in use.
The machine must not be used in an explosive atmosphere.
The mixer is designed for commercial use in kitchens, catering outlets and bakeries.
The machine may only be used as specied in this manual.
Unless the change is recommended by the manufacturer, modifying the machine is prohibited.
If the machine is tted with an attachment drive, only accessories produced or recommended by Varimixer should be attached.

safeTy:
The machine is designed for the manufacture of products that do not trigger any reactions or release substances that
may be harmful to the user when in use.
User safety is assured as follows:
• Tools can only rotate when the bowl screen is closed and the bowl is lifted.
• No access to rotating tools.
• Clearance between screen/stand and lifting handle at least 1 31/32".
• Noise level under 70 dB.
The machine is protected against overvoltage.
The machine should be positioned to allow space for normal use and maintenance.
Non-ionising radiation is not produced intentionally, but rather technically conditioned by electrical equipment (e.g. electric motors, live power lines or solenoids). The machine is not equipped with strong permanent magnets. By maintaining a safe distance
(between the eld source and implant) of 11 13/16", any impact on active implants (e.g. pacemakers, debrillators) can likely
be prevented.
The following recommendations apply to work with powdery ingredients:
• Powdery ingredients should not be poured into the bowl from a great height.
• Bags of e.g. our should be opened at the bottom, down in the bowl.
• Do not run up to the maximum speed too quickly.
Placing your hands in the bowl while the machine is running may cause physical injury.
correcT Use of Tools:
Recommended uses of tool:
The whip should not be struck against hard objects such as the edge of the bowl. This will shorten the life of the tool
because of increasing deformation.
To make mashed potato, use the beater and then the standard whip.
aTTachmenT hUb:
The machine may be tted with an attachment drive into which optional accessories, such as meat mincers and vegetable
cutters, can be attached.
For further information on the assembly and use of optional accessories, please refer to the manual that comes with the ac-
cessory.

overloading:
The mixer must not be overloaded.
Possible overload situations:
• Working with excessively tough and heavy dough
• Mixer tool exceeding the recommended speed
• Wrong mixer tool being used.
Big lumps of grease or cooled ingredients must be divided into ne particles before being placed into the bowl. A long period of
overload ing will cause the thermal overload relay to stop the mixer . Let the mixer rest for approximately three minutes and press
the RED STOP button BEFORE pressing the GREEN START button.
If the mixer is stopped in high speed when loaded, the bowl is to be removed from the mixer and the speed set to low speed
before the bowl is placed in the mixer again.
cleaning:
The machine should be cleaned daily after use. It should be wiped with a soft brush and clean water. Synthetic detergents
should be used with care, as they destroy the lubricants in the machine.
The machine should never be rinsed with a hose.
Aluminium parts should not be used for strongly acidic, alkaline or saline food products, which may attack non-coated
aluminium.
Aluminium mixer tools must not be washed in strongly alkaline agents (pH between 5.0 and 8.0).
Dough Hook Cleaning:
Special care should be given to cleaning the dough hook. The Varimixer dough hook is manufactured of stainless steel and we
recommend that it be cleaned and sanitized in a commercial dish machine. An alternate cleaning procedure is to vigorously scrub
the dough hook with a hot water and detergent solution. Use a heavy bristled brush. After cleaning, sanitize the dough hook by
rinsing with a 50 ppm solution of sodium hypochlorite.
The soap suppliers may be able to help by recommending the right type of soap.
The machine must be shut down when the accessory is tted to the attachment drive.
lUbricaTion and grease Types:
When the mixer is used regularly , the varispeed system must be lubricated approximately once each month. When the mixer is
extensively used, or used often without changes in speed, lubrication intervals should be shorter.
Directions for Lubrication:
Start the mixer and increase the speed to approximately 50%. Stop the mixer and remove the top cover by removing
the two screws (2).
The lid of the mixer may only be removed when the cable to the mains supply has been removed.
A grease nipple is located at the top of each of the pulley sets. Press the grease through the grease nipples until the
grease gun feels hard, or until grease is pressed out between the shaft
and the pulleys.
Replace the top cover and remember to replace the two screws securing the cover.
The lid must be mounted before starting the mixer.
Start the mixer and set the speed back to low.
Stop the mixer and fill the grease gun with new grease to be prepared
for the next lubrication.
Grease for the shafts of the pulley sets: Castrol High T emperature Grease,
or another ball bearing grease: NLGI1 or NLGI 2.
When repairs are made to the mixer head, the gearwheel and internal gear
should be lubricated with Flourcarbon Gel 868.
The needle bearings of the planetary head should be greased with ROCOL
Sapphire 2 The needle bearings must not be greased with the Flourcarbon
Gel 868 type of grease
If the machine is supplied with an attachment drive, the gear for the attachment
drive should be lubricated with
Do not use any other grease types than those specied above.
