5) CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
5.1 GENERALITIES AND PRODUCTS FOR CLEANING
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operators, check to make sure that the mains
switch be off and the supply plug disconnected from the mains.
Accurately clean the equipment and the discs every day for a correct operation and life of the equipment.
The discs, the grid for cutting dices, and the plastic ejector, can be removed for washing under a
warm water jet.
Clean the machine, and above all where the discs rest, with a cloth or a sponge wet with warm water.
Accurately remove all wastes to prevent the discs from changing their position.
Open and dismount completely the cover (see fig. 9-10-11) remove the cover and wash under a water jet.
Stainless steel withstands the action of the oxygen present in the air, and this is the reason why all our
machines are manufactured in stainless steel AISI 304 (18/10) with patented surface treatment that grants
high resistance to corrosion. Some substances however may cause serious damages.
Clean the surfaces with water and soap, alcool, detergents without abrasives or substances based on
chlorine or soda (chlorine water, muriatic acid).
Never use abrasive, steel wool, or similar products as they may bring damages to the paint, the coat, or the
machine body.
For cleaning, use non-toxic products and ones that guarantee the best hygiene.
5.2 OPERATIONS IN THE CASE OF FAILURES
When the white pilot light on the panel in on, but the machine does not start, check to make sure that the
handle and the cover are closed. In this way, both the safety micros-witches prevent the machine start
whenever all securities are not activated.
In the case of failures, disconnect the main wall switch and either warn the maintenance service, or the
skilled personnel.
Neither start nor tamper with the equipment personally.
5.3 MACHINE IDLE FOR A LONG TIME
Should the machine be idle for a long time, disconnect the main wall switch and clean the machine and its
accessories accurately. Use white v
aseline oil (or similar products) to protect all the machine’s elements.
These products, mainly made up of oily and detergent substances, and now available in spray cylinders for
easy application, besides giving a glossy aspect to the steel, prevent moisture and dirt from getting inside the
machine, hence, its corrosion.
We advise covering the machine with a nylon (or similar) cloth.
6) ACCESSORIES UPON REQUEST
In order to obtain a number of different cutting and measures, several discs for cutting vegetables or fruit (as
apples, pears, bananas, etc) can be used with these vegetables cutting machines of the series TA 60 - TA
