START-UP AND GENERAL OPERATION

“Vegetable Cutter” operating mode (CK-24V, CA-2V) The “Vegetable Cutter” accessory (F) can be positioned in two different directions (FIG 3) so that the outlet for the products faces one direction or the other. With the machine disconnected from the mains: - Place the “Vegetable Cutter” accessory on the motor block and turn it anti- clockwise as shown in the drawings (Fig.4). - The lid (E) must be tted as shown in the drawings by turning it anticlock- wise (Fig. 5) - Place the plunger (B) as shown in the drawings and fasten it in position with the pin (C). (Fig.6) Installation of disks (A) and screens (G) - Remove the lid (E) - plunger (B) assembly by turning it clockwise (Fig.5). - Place the ejector (I) in its housing on the drive shaft or discharge ramp (H). - The screen (G) is inserted into the lid cavity (F) when required by the process. - Fit a disk (A) on the drive shaft. Disks that work with screens need to be fastened in position. - Reinsert the lid (E) - plunger (B) assembly by turning it anticlockwise (Fig. 5). Start the machine and the screen will display the Icon number 7 (represent- ed by a cutting disk), the speed level ,and its associated RPM. The speed can be adjusted with the motor running or stopped. Pressing “Start” (7) with the lid (E) closed and the plunger (B) down will start the motor. The Icon No. 7 will begin to rotate, indicating that the motor is in movement. The “Pause” icon will be displayed if “Start” (7) is pressed with the motor stopped, the hinged lid (E) closed, and the plunger (B) up, indicating that the plunger must be lowered. The motor will start when the plunger (B) is lowered. The running motor will stop if the plunger (B) is raised. When the plunger (B) is lowered, the motor restarts automatically. The running motor will stop if the hinged lid (E) is opened. When the hinged lid (E) is closed, it starts up again. If the plunger (B) is not lowered or the lid is not closed for more than 15 seconds, the “Start” button (7) must pressed again to start the motor . If the machine Is left running with the plunger (B) in the lowered position, the machine will stop automatically after 30 minutes. If the Start (7) button is pushed when any of the safety devices is out of position, an associated indicative text will appear on the screen. The PRESS button (15) also works in cutter mode: the motor starts while it is held down and stops when it is released.- 17 -

FORCE CONTROL function: - With the motor running, ring 3 on the screen indicates the load under which the motor is working. When the indicator approaches the red zone, it means that the motor is nearing overload. This level varies depending on the features of the product being processed and the force exerted by the plunger. - An acoustic and visual signal can be congured to warn that a certain level of force has been reached. This is useful to ensure that constant force is applied to obtain uniform cutting. - Lower the plunger and increase the load until the acoustic signal sounds or the bar can be seen, indicating that the desired level of force has been reached. Maintain this force level to obtain uniform cutting throughout the process. - To access the FORCE CONTROL function, press and hold the TIME but- ton (13) for 3 seconds. Use the UP (11) and DOWN (12) keys to select the desired level, then press TIME (13) again to exit. Operation with the normal intake hopper (P) and plunger (B).
