Berkel Red Line 220 - DO NOT SLICE: - 1

WARNING! Motor may overheat! After a maximum 15 minutes of continuous use, switch OFF the machine and allow to cool down.

RESIDUAL RISKS

The safety ring around the blade is made in conformity to European standards EN 1974:1998+A1 but, in order to allow the sharpening operations, the protection in the sharpening area may not entirely eliminate the risk of cutting.

Berkel Red Line 220 - RESIDUAL RISKS - 1

WARNING! During the blade cleaning and sharpening operations, pay extra attention to keep your hands as far as possible from the unprotected area. Use of protective gloves is recommended.

INSTALLATION OF THE MACHINE

Install the machine on a flat, smooth and dry surface suitable for supporting the weight of the machine itself plus the products to be sliced.

Berkel Red Line 220 - INSTALLATION OF THE MACHINE - 1

WARNING! Verify that there are no obstacles to the meat table travel and to the loading of products.

The machine must be installed in the immediate vicinity of an EEC standard outlet connected to an electrical supply system which is in conformity with the prevailing regulations for: - magneto-thermic protection; - automatic differential switch; - earthing system.

Before carrying out electrical hook up verify that the characteristics of the electrical power supply is in accordance with those indicated on the machine information plate.

OPERATION

Berkel Red Line 220 - OPERATION - 1

WARNING! Risk of injury from sharp blade! Check that the thickness adjustment knob (5) is in the safety position (on the 0 position) (Fig. A).

  1. Pull the meat table (8) all the way back (towards the operator) in the loading position (Fig. L);

  2. lift the product holder (17) into the standby position;

  3. place the product to be sliced on the meat table near the operator side wall. Block it with the product holder applying slight pressure;

  4. adjust the slice thickness. Activate the blade (10) by pressing the start button. Grip the product holder handle (9) and start an alternative cutting motion;

  5. at the end of the cutting operations return the thickness adjustment knob to the safety position and pull the meat table back. Stop the blade motion by pressing the stop button (2).

CLEANING

Before using, clean the machine at least once a day - or more often if necessary - and always after a long period of inactivity.

Berkel Red Line 220 - CLEANING - 1

WARNING! Risk of electric shock! Before cleaning, disconnect the plug from the electrical mains socket and place the thickness adjustment knob in the safety position.

Berkel Red Line 220 - CLEANING - 2

WARNING! Risk of injury from sharp blade! Check that the thickness adjustment knob (5) is in the safety position (on the 0 position) (Fig. A).

Products for cleaning:

use only water and biodegradable mild detergent, using a soft, spongy cloth and a semi-rigid nylon brush for the sharp areas of the plate and the product holder. Do not clean the machine with jets of water or steam or similar methods.

Dismantling:

- the meat table (only for the machine equipped with the meat table removable mechanism):

1) with the thickness adjustment knob in the safety position, pull back the carriage all the way until the travel limit toward the operator; 2) use the meat table release lever, keeping the support at the travel limit in order to free the meat table from its support. To correctly carry out the operation it may be necessary to act simultaneously also on the thickness adjustment knob, rotating it slightly with respect to the safety position; 3) extract the product holder unit sliding the meat table from its support (Fig. B);

  • the blade cover: 1) rotate the blade cover 90° counter clock-wise using the special knob; 2) a spring facilitates the extraction of the blade cover (Fig. C);
  • the slice deflector: remove the slice deflector following the direction shown in the figure (Fig. D);
  • the sharpener: remove the complete sharp unit pulling it upward (Fig. E).

Berkel Red Line 220 - Dismantling: - 1

WARNING: Risk of injury from sharp blade! For

the cleaning operations of the sharp areas of the plates, the product holder and the blade, use of protective gloves is also recommended.

Cleaning:

- the blade: press a damp cloth on the surface of the blade and move it slowly from the center toward the outside on the blade cover side and the opposite side (Fig. F). In the same way dry, it using a dry cloth. NEVER turn on the machine while cleaning the blade;

- the safety ring: use a soft brush to clean the area between the blade and the safety ring. Be careful NOT to put your hands close to the blade; - the machine body: use a damp cloth or a sponge, rinsing water. Dry carefully.

Reassembling:

  • the sharpener: insert the sharpener unit as shown in the figure (Fig. G) until it comes to a stop in the correct position;
  • the slice deflector: position the slice deflector in its seat (Fig. H);
  • the blade cover: reassemble the blade cover

and rotate it 90^ clockwise until it locks into its initial position (Fig. I);

- the meat table (only for the machine equipped with the meat table removable mechanism):

insert the meat table on the carriage, verify that the securing lever returns to the initial position, verify that the carriage slides freely and check the correct operation of the thickness adjustment knob.

MAINTENANCE

Blade Sharpening

Frequency and duration of sharpening depend on the use of the equipment.

Lubrication

After a regular period of use, it may be necessary to lubricate the carriage guides. We recommend executing this operation every 3 months. For lubrication, only use acid free oil (we recommend Vaseline oil). Do not use vegetable oil.

SERVICE

No user-serviceable parts are inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel. All the repair and replacement operations (like blade replacement, replacement of the motor belt, replacement of the sub-basaplate electrical system components, repair of structural parts, repair and/or re-placement of sub-baseplate components, or similar) shall be executed exclusively by personnel authorized by the manufacturer.

In the event service is needed, you may return your food slicer to the manufacturer or to one of the Authorized Service Centers.

For information about service centers please contact us at: service@berkelinternational.com.
