Maintenance
Operation
Before starting any cleaning or maintenance operations, turn the machine off and unplug it from the socket.
Clean the unit and discs every day. The discs, grid and plastic ejector can be removed for washing under a
warm water jet. Clean the machine and all other areas with a wet clothe or sponge and warm water. Remove
all wastes from the machine during cleaning. Open the cover and loosen the two pins, as shown before, to
remove the cover and wash it under a water jet.
Clean the surfaces with water, alcohol or detergents that are not abrasive. Never use abrasive tools to assist
in the cleaning of the machine (such as steel wool). This may cause damage to the machine. Use of non-toxic
products which will produce the best results.
PERIODS OF INACTIVITY
Should the machine be idle for a long period of time, disconnect the main wall switch and clean the machine
and its accessories thoroughly. Use food grade mineral oil (27336) to protect all the machine’s components.
This helps prevent moisture and dirt from getting inside the machine. It is advised to cover the machine with a
nylon (or similar) cloth.
used for cutting sticks and match-life food, the inlet opening set over the grid must be used. The smaller round
opening is used to cut vegetables like carrots, vegetable marrows, etc.
WARNING: NEVER USE THE HAND TO PRESS DOWN THE PRODUCT, BUT USE THE
PLASTIC PRESSING STICK SUPPLIED.
REPLACEMENT OF THE DISCS
Turn off and unplug the machine. Turn the knob and lift the cover shown in Pic. 4 (page 14). Turn the disc
counterclockwise and cover the cutting edge with appropriate material (rubber, fabric, etc.). Then lift it by
setting your hand under the disc. Lift the discs to remove it (Pic. 7 and 8 on page 15).
Troubleshooting
When the pilot light is on, but the machine does not start, check to make sure that the handle and cover are
closed. These are the locations of the microswitches and the machine will not start if they are not correctly
fixed. In the event of other problems, turn the machine off and unplug it. Do not try to start or tamper with the
equipment. Let a qualified technician solve the problem. Contact the Omcan Service Center at 1-800-465-0324
to find a qualified technician.
