system that is capable of measuring load imbal-
ances. If the machine detects that the vibration
levels are too high it stops the cycle, the LED
comes on and there is a beep. To reset this alarm,
simply start the cycle again or turn the machine off
with the main switch (Diag. A 1).
PILOT LIGHT ALARM (Diag. A g)
The machine's different safety and
alarm warnings are given using this
pilot light. These are described in the alarms listing
section. To reset this warning switch the machine
off using the main switch (Diag. A 1) or disconnect
it from the mains.
Operation cycle description:
Fast speed cycle (snail key pilot light Diag. A f
switched off).
IMPORTANT: If the basket contains more than
7 kg of product, only use the slow speed option
(pilot light Diag. A f on).
With the cover closed, when the cycle start key is
pressed (Diag. A 3) the cycle starts and is divided
into three parts:
- Basket locking. The machine performs a first
short start up to lock the basket in its bracket.
- Next, it starts up at slow speed and performs a
load balancing study. If the load is unbalanced
the machine stops, the "unbalanced load" (Diag.
A e) pilot light comes on and a sound warning is
emitted. In this case it is necessary to shake the
basket to distribute the load better and start the
machine again. If the load balancing study was
correct, the machine stops and instantly starts up
again at the maximum speed.
- Once the maximum speed has been attained
the machine operates until the end of the time
cycle and it automatically stops emitting and
end of cycle beep. Throughout this process the
control continues to monitor the status of the load
balance. If in any event it detects an incident of
this type the machine stops and the "unbalanced
" (Diag. A e) pilot light comes on and a sound
warning is emitted.
Slow speed cycle (snail key pilot light Diag. A f
switched on).
With the cover closed, when the cycle start key is
pressed (Diag. A 3) the cycle starts and is divided
into two parts:
- Basket locking. The machine performs a first
short start up to lock the basket in its bracket.
- Then the machine starts up again and once the
slow speed has been attained it operates until the
end of the time cycle and it automatically stops
emitting and end of cycle beep. Throughout this
process the control continues to monitor the sta-
tus of the load balance. If in any event it detects
an incident of this type the machine stops and the
"unbalanced " (Diag. A e) pilot light comes on and
a sound warning is emitted.
With either of the two options, if the cover is
opened, the cycle stops. If wee press the cycle
start key (Diag, A 3) again the cycle starts from
the beginning.
Loading of the machine and start up. Operation
mode.
WARNING:
Before using the machine for the first time, clean
the basket with (lukewarm) soapy water, rinse and
leave to dry. Use a damp cloth to clean the rest of
the machine.
To fill the machine:
a) Raise the machine's cover.
b) For optimal drainage fill the basket to ¾ of
its capacity, preferably outside the machine
in order to prevent the drain from becoming
logged up.
c) The heads of lettuce must be inserted clean into
the centrifuging (spinning) basket. Remove any
damaged or blackened leaves. They must not
be pressed when putting into the basket.
d) Fit the basket to the machine's shaft, ascer-
taining that it is in position by giving the basket
a ¼ turn.
e) Shake the basket to balance the load as much
as possible.
f) Close the cover, select the desired cycle and
press the cycle start (Diag. A 3) key.
IMPORTANT: If the basket contains more than
7 kg of product, only use the slow speed option
(pilot light Diag. A f on).
g) At the end of the centrifuging cycle the machine
automatically stops and emits an acoustic sig-
nal.
h) To increase the machine's yield use two bas-
kets. To prevent idle times the basket filling and
emptying operations should be carried out while
the cycle is underway.
Capacity
ES-200: 10-14 heads of lettuce or 12 kg of veg-
etables.
ES-100: 5-7 heads of lettuce or 6 kg of vegetables.
For product cleaning and preservation
a) Washing and rinsing:
- Properly separate and choose the leaves.
Important: Remove the bad leaves.
- Wash and soak in very cold water(4-5 ºC)
- Properly rinse the lettuce leaves.
b) Centrifuging:
- Eliminate the washing and soaking water.
c) Preservation:
- Do not cut the leaves to pieces until needed.
Keep chilled between 0 and 5ºC.
Cleaning the drainage machine:
For the daily cleaning of the machine:
a) The basket must be cleaned outside the machine
right after its use. Use hot water and any ordi-
nary detergent for domestic dish-washing. It
must be rinsed with plenty of hot water. Finally
use a clean cloth with ethyl alcohol to clean the
areas that come into contact with food.
b) IMPORTANT: Do not clean the inside or the
outside of the machine with a direct water jet
or a pressurised hose. Use a damp cloth and
any usual detergent. Do not use bleach, harsh
chemicals or metal scrubbers.
MAINTENANCE AND PRESERVATION
Before undertaking any cleaning, inspection or
repair work on the machine, the machine must be
unplugged from the mains.
State of the shock absorbers:
Every so often check the state of the shock
absorbers. To do this, with the basket fitted,
flex the basket and ascertain that movement is
even in all directions. If this is not the case, one
of the shock absorbers may be damaged. For
repair contact an authorised technical service. It
is also recommended that annually a technician
of the authorised technical service should visually
inspect the shock absorbers.
Condition of the wheels:
Every so often the condition of the wheels should
be visually inspected and the proper operation of
the brakes should be verified.
Condition of the drainage:
Before each use check that the machine's drain-
age pipe is free of blockage that may prevent the
water from being drained out of the machine.
Operating incidents:
Often the machine shuts down due to load imbal-
ances:
- Try to properly distribute the load and shake the
basket in each cycle.
- Verify the condition of the shock absorbers.
These may be damaged.
- Verify the condition of the wheels. They may be
damaged.
- Verify the overall condition of the machine.
Something maybe loose and lead to an increase
in the machine's vibration.
The machine does not start:
- Verify that electric current reaches the control
panel.
- Verify that the keyboard is properly connected to
the control panel.
Status of the door detector:
If the machine does not start when you the press
the "cycle start-up" button (Diag. A-3) and the
cover is down, but the pilot light related to this
button (Diag. A "d") starts to blink, this means that
there is a problem with the magnetic detector of
the door or with its magnet.
Motor thermal switch:
If the "alarm pilot light" (Diag. A g) flashes quickly
and the panel emits a beep as fast as the flashing
of the pilot light, this means that the motor's ther-
mal protector has been triggered. This means that
there is some problem with the motor, that the axle
is jammed, the basket is caught on something...
Verification of the keyboard:
- With the general switch on every time a key is
pressed on the control panel a "beep" is emitted
and the related function is performed.
Listing of alarms pertaining to the electronics
board:
Occurs when the "alarm pilot light" (Diag. A g) is on
and another pilot light is flashing. Therefore:
- The "alarm pilot light" (Diag. A g) is on and the
"short cycle pilot light" (Diag. A a) flashes: Too
much current on the output of the variator.
- The "alarm pilot light" (Diag. A g) is on and the
"intermediate cycle pilot light" (Diag. A b) flashes:
Short-circuit on the output of the variator.
- The "alarm pilot light" (Diag. A g) is on and the
"long cycle pilot light" (Diag. A c) flashes: Power
supply voltage too high:
- The "alarm pilot light" (Diag. A g) is on and the
"cycle start pilot light" (Diag. A d) flashes: Power
supply voltage too low:
- The "alarm pilot light" (Diag. A g) is on and the
"slow speed pilot light" (Diag. A f) flashes: The
temperature of the IGBs is too high. Verify the
dissipater of the variator and wait until the tem-
perature drops.
To reset these alarms press the "main switch"
(Diag. A 1) or disconnect the machine from the
mains and wait a few minutes.
