The Salad Dryer is powered with a

/4 Hp motor. The spin basket is removable to make loading and washing easy and convenient. The timer is conveniently located on the top of the machine and can be set from 1 to 5 minutes.

USING THE SALAD DRYER

1. Secure machine in position by depressing the brake pedal on each caster (Fig. 3).

2. Remove the lid cover (Fig. 4) by peeling it off on one

side fi rst for easy removal. The white polyethylene lid is attached to the lid cover. Do not pull or force lid off in a quick motion.

3. Suspend the lid cover (Fig. 4) from the salad dryer tub

using the hook provided on the lid cover.

4. Remove the spin basket (Fig. 5) and place in sink.

5. Load washed lettuce/salad into spin basket to below

handle holes (Fig. 5) only. Let excess water drain from salad and spin basket prior to loading spin basket into salad dryer. Do not overload spin basket. Overloading will cause lid and motor failure. Best results are achieved by fi lling the spin basket

/4 full. For shredded lettuce, cabbage and denser product, like Romaine, load may need to be reduced to

/2 full so as not to overload the unit.

6. Place loaded spin basket into salad dryer ensuring the octagon shaped recess in the spin basket

lines up with the metal octagon driver (Fig. 5) in the salad dryer. Fig. 5

7. Make sure that the T-Handle (Fig. 6), that secures the white polyethylene lid to the lid cover, is tight

8. Place the lid cover onto the salad dryer, making sure

it sits fl ush on top of the tub. The white polyethylene lid attached to the inside of the lid cover is designed to hold the spin basket in the center of the salad dryer. Proper alignment will keep the salad dryer balanced and vibration free. Overloading will prevent the lid from lining up properly with the spin basket and will cause the salad dryer to wobble.

9. Turn the machine ON by rotating the knob (Fig. 7) on the timer

clockwise, choosing a one-to-fi ve minute cycle. Machine will turn off automatically. Generally, a two-to-three minute cycle is suffi cient to dry a full load.

10. When the timer cycle has ended, wait 10 seconds for the

spin basket to stop rotating before removing the lid cover. Remove spin basket from the machine. For high volume operation, a second spin basket is recommended. Second basket can be fi lled with lettuce while the fi rst basket is operating inside the salad dryer. CLEANING Turn the machine off and unplug the electrical cord before cleaning. Do not spray water towards the bottom side and motor area of the unit. This may cause damage to the gear motor and electrical parts. INTERIOR SURFACE OF TANK (SDPS MODEL)
