2. Technical Characteristics
2.1 Main Components
For the equipment described in this manual, safety in use, cleaning, maintenance and
maximum hygiene are guaranteed by the project and special design of all parts and also by using
stainless steel and other materials suitable for contact with food.
The equipment was built with the following features:
• Disc box, lid, structure and base are made of stainless steel, which has a corrosion resistance
superior to that of other steels;
• Bucket with lid made of non-toxic plastic (PP –Polypropylene). It is an impact-resistant material
suitable for storing food. Microwaveable up to 110°C, dishwasher and freezer up to -10°C.
• Handle on MPA in Nylon (Polyamide) and on MPAM in stainless steel.
• MPA with discs where the base is made of non-toxic plastic (ABS) and MPAM with cast aluminum
base. The coating of the discs and the blades are made of stainless steel with a surface treatment
that increases the hardness of the material and its resistance to wear. They resist mildly aggressive
agents, such as fruit and vegetable juices, some mild acids and alkalis, water vapor free of
contaminants, etc.
• Pusher in non-toxic PS plastic (polystyrene).
See below the main components of the equipment:

* Dimensions for operation considered with the lid vertical and the bucket positioned under the food
outlet.
** Weight considered with the 5 mm shredder disc, pusher and bucket.
*** It may vary due to the user's working speed and according to the disc model used and the
processed product.
ATTENTION!
Characteristics like: model, serial number and voltage of the equipment are provided on the label
(figure below). Before installation, check that the power supply voltage of the equipment
corresponds to that of the mains.

3. Installation
3.1 Equipment Layout
Connection to the mains and layout must be carried out by a qualified professional. Check
that the voltage of the equipment matches that of the mains.
During installation, it is essential to make this manual available to the professionals who will
carry out the installation.
To ensure correct operation and safety, place the equipment in a well-ventilated area and on
a support surface that is large enough, well leveled, dry and stable, away from heat sources and
water taps, and at a medium height. of 80 cm. Install your equipment leaving a distance of at least 20
cm around it and 1.0 m in height, so that you have enough space for inspection, maintenance,
cleaning and use.

ATTENTION!
The installation and the place where the equipment will be placed must be in accordance
with the Rules for the Prevention of Risks at Work and Safety at Work in Machines and
Equipment.
The manufacturer does not take responsibility for possible direct or indirect damage caused
by failure to comply with said standards and other instructions presented in this manual.
3.3 Safety Procedures and User Instruction
The professional who sells the equipment must instruct the user on the correct functioning of the
equipment and must hand over this instruction manual.
The user must be informed of the necessary safety measures and must respect them, as well as all
measures described in this manual.
Your equipment has mechanical protections (see item 1.2 Mechanical Safety). Removing or
tampering with these safety components can cause serious risks to the operator's upper limbs.
ATTENTION!
Before operating your equipment, check the direction of rotation of the disc. To do this,
make sure the lid is closed and locked with the latches and the handle down.
Turn on the equipment and check, through the small feeding nozzle, if the disc is rotating
counterclockwise, as shown in the figure below.
If the disc is rotating clockwise, consult the electrical diagram (Item 6 - annexes) or contact
the nearest authorized technical assistance.

4. Equipment Use
4.1 Utility
This equipment is intended for slicing, shredding and grating food products.
4.2 Commands
The equipment has only an on/off switch. Facing the outlet nozzle, the switch is located on
the right side of the equipment.
See description of each command below:
• On/Off switch –used to turn the equipment on and off. In position “1” it turns on, in position “0” it
turns off.
4.3 Operating Procedures
Before operating your equipment, clean the components that will come into contact with food
(bucket, pusher, disc, etc.), to do so, make sure that the equipment is disconnected from the electrical
network, only then dismantle it. Follow the cleaning instructions in item 5 of this manual.
Check the disassembly and assembly processes described below.
• Disc disassembly:

9
• Disc assembly: The assembly procedure is the reverse of the disassembly. When remounting the
disc, already choose the disc model that suits the process you need at the moment. Check the disc
models in item 2.1 (Main Components).
If the disc is not secure, it may not be seated correctly. In this case, repeat the operation and it does
not succeed, contact technical assistance.
ATTENTION!
Before starting the disassembly process, disconnect the equipment from the mains.
Never turn on the equipment with the disc out of position, as this could cause accidents.

10
• Operation: The equipment can only be operated after checking that the disc is firmly in place and
the lid is locked with the latches, and that the voltage of the equipment matches that of the electrical
power supply.
After checking these items, follow the equipment operation processes below:
• Connect the power cable to the electrical network;
• Place the bucket without the lid to store the processed food below the outlet nozzle;
• Activate the on/off switch in position “1” (on);
• For long and cylindrical foods, keep the handle down, insert the foods through the small nozzle and
push them against the disc with the pusher. For larger foods, lift the handle, insert the foods into the
larger nozzle and push with the handle;
• After finishing the process, turn off the equipment by pressing the on/off switch in position “0” (off).
ATTENTION!
If you notice that the equipment cannot process the food or that it stops processing, reduce
the quantity or pre-cut the food before inserting it into the feeding nozzle. Excessive
pressure exerted with the handle or pusher to press the food against the disc can also
impair the speed and performance of the motor, disc, and the life of the equipment.
ATTENTION!
Do not try to open the lid or remove the disc with the equipment turned on, nor should you
put your fingers, hands or objects (such as spoons and knives) inside the feeding nozzle, as
this could cause accidents.
Always use the handle or pusher to process food, never use your hands to push food during
operation.
In case of any irregularity, contact the nearest authorized technical assistance.
IMPORTANT
The operator must use the appropriate PPE (personal protection equipment). For example:
wearing a hair cap to prevent it from tangling in the moving parts of the equipment and
appropriate gloves that, in addition to ensuring hygiene in food handling, protect the
operator during the process.
