INSTRUCTIONS 

 
Before handling the machine, all indications in this Instruction Manual must be observed. 
The use of the machine with any modification of the safety elements that it includes may cause accidents and 
violate Council Directive 89/655/EEC. Equipamientos Cárnicos S.L. may not be held liable for using the machine 
under said circumstances. 

INSTALLATION 

 
The kneader comes packed in the working position. It is advisable to keep this position during unpacking and 
installation. Place the machine on a permanent and solid surface so that it remains level with the base pads 
installed, which are delivered with the machine. In the case of the 20- and 40-litre kneaders, it is advisable to 
place them on a platform so that the top edge of the container is at a comfortable working height (between 80 and 
110 cm). For the 90-litre model, screw the tilting lever (

A

) in place.

Ensure that the voltage and frequency of the mains correspond to the specifications on the machine’s nameplate. 
Also ensure that the type of power supply of the mains and of the machine (single-phase, three-phase, with or 
without neutral) is correct. The installer should adapt the male connection (plug) of the machine to the socket of 
the mains so that they match perfectly. It is mandatory that the machine be connected to the mains through a 
differential protector with an adequate gauge for the technical specifications indicated on the machine’s 
nameplate.

Connect the plug to the mains. Be sure that there are no loose objects in the interior of the container, and place 
the switch lever in position 1. Press the green Run button and the machine will rotate in one direction. Change the 
switch lever to position 2, and then press the Run button again. Observe that the paddle rotates in the opposite 
direction. Lift the cover slowly to ensure that the machine stops when it is separated from the container (5 cm or 
less). Place the power switch in position “0”.

As from this point, the machine is considered ready for use, subject to cleaning.
