1.4 - Description of the machine

The cutter in your possession is a simple machine with high performance and power
output. Because it must be used to mince and mix food products, the components that
may come in contact with the product have been carefully chosen to ensure the high-
est level of hygiene. The blades on all models are built in stainless steel AISI 420 to
ensure longer durability and maximum hygiene.
Operations for emptying the tank:
• set the circuit breaker upstream of the machine to "0",
•
turn the release knob on the lid counter-clockwise,
• open the lid,
• turn the lock knob of the blade holder,
•
remove the blade holder,
• turn the tank counter-clockwise,
•
lift the tank.
The controls are placed in an easily accessible location and consist of two 24V but-
tons. Special care was applied when designing the machine to ensure that operators
can perform cleaning tasks with ease, in particular thanks to the following construc-
tional features:
•
simple removal of the propeller without the need for tools,
• all electrical parts manufactured according to a minimum degree of protection IP 56.
The models depicted in this manual were built in accordance with EC Directive
2006/42 as amended. In the event of an accident, no responsibility can be charged to
the manufacturer if the machine has been altered or tampered with, if its safety guards
have been removed or if the machine is used for purposes not intended by the manu-
facturer.
