IMPORTANT
(**) Maximum capacity for TA-02 is 2 (two) liters, even though the cup volume is
bigger than that. This additional volume is to minimize the product overflowing
during the process. It is recommended to use a maximum volume of 1,5 liters
(one and a half liters) in this equipment.
2. Installation and Pre Operation
2.1 Installation
The Blender is to be installed onto a leveled surface approximately 850mm
high.
The High Performance Industrial Blenders TA-02 were developed to be used
with only one rated voltage: 110V (60Hz) or 220V (50Hz or 60Hz) . Upon receiving the
Blender check its voltage according to the information written on the cord label.
The cord has a plug with two pins and a grounding wire . It is mandatory the
three of them to be connected before to start to use the blender .
2.2 Pre Operation
IMPORTANT
When installing the Cup Nº02 (Pic.01) on the machine be sure it is perfectly fitted.
The Cup can be fitted on the machine in any position; which guarantees a perfect

Before using the machine all parts that get in contact with food must be washed
with running water and neutral soap. To clean your Blender read item 3.3 Cleaning on this
Manual (pag.4).
2.3 You must not …
2.3.1 …expect your blender to replace any other kitchen appliance. This
equipment is not supposed to make mashed potatoes, it does not blend egg whites or any
other cream for coverings, it does not grind raw meat, it does not blend hard dough and it
does not extract pulp from fruits or vegetables.
2.3.2 …process blending for too long. Remember that the blender works in
seconds and not in minutes. Therefore, never let your blender working for more than one
minute. It is better to turn it off and check the mixture consistency after a few seconds to
avoid too much blending.
2.3.3 … OVERLOAD the motor with too big or too heavy portions as it will reduce
the blender´s life. If the motor stops, turn the equipment off immediately, unplug it and
remove part of the product before turning it on again.
3. Operation
3.1 Starting
IMPORTANT
Before removing or installing the Cup Nº02 (Pic.01) be sure the motor has
completely stopped.
The Blender is activated by turning the On/Off Switch Nº06 (Pic.01) located at the
Motor Housing Nº04 (Pic.01) to ON position.
3.2 Feeding Procedure
The High Performance Industrial Blender works at high speed approximately
22.000 rpm (empty) . To feed it proceed as follows:
Cut the product into small pieces of approximately 3,5cm. This process helps in
the blending process time, especially for frozen products. It is recommended to add water
when triturating ice.
1 - Remove the Lid Nº01 (Pic.01).
2 - Put product inside the Cup Nº02 (Pic.01) with the machine switched OFF.
3- Place the Lid Nº01 (Pic.01) and switch the machine ON.
