socket, alternatively turn off the mains switch
and then check that the electrical cable is in
good condition and has no cracks.
If the electrical cable is worn or damaged or
shows signs of cracking, or if any of the
above safety functions are not in good
working order, a service mechanic should be
called in to make repairs before the machine
is taken back into operation. If the electrical
cable is worn or damaged or shows signs of
cracking, it must be replaced by a special
cord available from the manufacturer/
authorized dealer/service agent.
That the rubber feet of the machine are firmly
screwed into position.
That the knives are whole and sharp.
Trouble shooting.
To eliminate the risk of damage to the motor,
the VCM-32 is fitted with thermal motor
protection that automatically switches off
the machine if the temperature of the motor
should become to high. The thermal motor
protection has automatic reset, which means
that the machine can be started again when
the motor has cooled down, which usually
takes between 10 and 30 minutes.
FAULT: The machine will not start or stops
while running and can not be re-started.
ACTION: Check that the power plug is
properly inserted in the wall socket or,
alternatively, set the mains switch to the "I"
position. Check that the fuses in the wall box
for the premises have not blown and have
the correct ampere rating. Check that the
bowl (F5) and lid (F2) are correctly fitted.
Wait for up to 30 minutes and then try to
start the machine again. Call in a service
mechanic for action.
FAULT: Low capacity or poor processing
results.
ACTION: Separate the foods into smaller,
evenly-sized pieces, max. 3x3x3 cm. Process
for a shorter or longer period of time. Process
a smaller amount each time. Always have the
scraper (F1/F3) fitted and use it as required.
