WARNING The residual risk results from removing permanent covers and tampering with damaged / used parts! The operator absolutely must not attempt to open or remove the permanent covers or protective elements. During completion, maintenance and cleaning and other similar manual activities, connected with placing hands or other body parts in the hazardous areas of the device, there is the residual risk which may result in:

1. hitting the device parts;

2. abrasion and/or scratches due to contact with rough

3. injuries inflicted by sharp parts;

4. cutting wounds due to contact with sharp parts,

5. entangling in moving parts (whip)

Due to the need of placing hands in the vicinity of the knife during cleaning or removing residues, there is a residual risk consisting in the possibility of injuries with sharp objects. Therefore, the persons operating and performing maintenance of the device must be trained in performing activities with open covers and must be informed of resulting hazards, as well as authorized by the responsible person. They must also use appropriate personal protective equipment or wear cut resistant gloves.- 32 -

4.1 Overview of parts

Application and components The device consists of the electric motor, placed in plastic casting (independent device body). The mixing stick is placed on the quick coupling with the use of the retaining flange and fixed to the motor shaft in the rotary way. Place the desired food products in the container and holding the device in both hands in appropriate places (see fig. on page 42):

1. place the device with the mounted mixing stick (optionally, a whip or

emulsifier) in the container or pot;

2. start the device and do not turn it off until the product is prepared;

3. turn the device off and take it out of the container after ca. 10 seconds and

place it on an appropriate surface. Properties of the device allow for the following processing of food products:

1. when the device touches the bottom of the container (with the mixing

stick), whereas it cannot exceed the immersion mark,

2. when the device operates in the air but being held with both

hands (with a whip).

Start-up The pulse start is performed by pressing the ON button (2). Device operates only with the pressed ON button (2). The food product should be taken out of the container when the processing cycle is completed and after taking out the device from the container. All materials which have direct contact with food products are consistent with the valid legal regulations about the hygiene of work with food products. Depending on the needs, the device may be equipped with various additional accessories (chapter 4.2 „Accessories “).

Such products may become oxidized and in some cases cause pitting of steel; metal plates, brushes or polishing discs from other materials or alloys (e.g. common grade steel, aluminium, brass, etc.) or tools used previously for cleaning of other metals or alloys; petrol, solvents or flammable and/or corrosive fluids; silver cleaning agents.

Cleaning of the device o Before cleaning and during cleaning, never touch moving parts of the device without making sure that they stopped and the device is disconnected from the power supply. o To avoid electric shock, never immerse the device, power cord or plug in water or other liquids. o Never place or put away the device directly to the sink or under the tap. Always make sure no water gets inside the device. o The device must be cleaned after each shift, before the daily use, or more frequently when required.- 45 -

WARNING Dismount all the equipment from the device body before cleaning. o When dismounting the equipment follow the instructions presented in Chapter 5.1 „Start-up “ (Assembly/Disassembly). o All surfaces and parts of the device having contact with food, or areas of contact with food (external and internal surfaces of tools) and and the spray areas (upper surface of equipment fixed to the device and external surface of the device) must be cleaned regularly as desribed below and then disinfected. o Remove possible food residues from the equipment (e.g. using plastic scraper). WARNING! Risk of incised wounds! The knife of beater is very sharp and may cause injuries! Never touch the beater knife with bare hands! Always use cut resistant gloves during cleaning! o Wash the dismounted equipment with soft, moistened cloth in warm water with diluted cleaning agent. Then rinse in clean, warm water. o Wipe the device body with motor block with soft, moistened cloth (not soaked). o Use special cleaning agents for steel, only in liquid form (do not use creams or abrasive pastes), and without chlorine. It is allowed to use the denaturised alcohol for degreasing. o Dry the cleaned elements thoroughly with a soft lint-free cloth. o Disinfect all surfaces having contact with food products and spray area with commercial disinfectants designed for contact with food. Observe the instructions of the manufacturer of such a cleaning agent. o Never clean the device and equipment in the dishwasher.- 46 -

Storage of the device o In case of longer breaks in use of the device, thoroughly clean the device, as described above. Apply to all steel surfaces (in particular those made of stainless steel) a sufficient amount of Vaseline oil to protect them with additional layer. Parts of the device should be stored wrapped in a soft, lint-free cloth. o Store the device in a dry, clean place protected against cold, sun and children. Do not place any heavy objects on the device.

Maintenance CAUTION! Only authorized service company may intervene in case of cracks, maintenance, mechanic or electronic failures, or replace damaged parts of the device! CAUTION! Periodically check the rubber seal under the beater knife (fig. on the right). When the rubber seal is damaged or worn, make it replaced by the authorized service company.
