1.7 Intended uses
The PCT T range of machines are designed for:
1. Mixing and heating/cooking ingredients or pre-packaged foods placed inside the machine cylinder.
2. Chilling, churning and freezing the ingredients processed for making gelato, creams, jams, sauces, granita and sorbet.
This processing takes place in a vertical cylinder using a mixer and retaining paddle supplied with the machine.
“PCT T” models can process products which require hot/cold thermal treatment. Pasteurising and churning are carried
out in a single cylinder, avoiding any transfer or handling and guaranteeing maximum hygiene for the processed product.
THE MACHINE CANNOT BE USED FOR OTHER PURPOSES WITHOUT TELME S.P.A.'S AUTHORISA-
TION. TELME S.P.A. WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DIRECT OR INDIRECT DAMAGES DUE TO
IMPROPER USE OF THE MACHINE.
1.7.1 Reasonably foreseeable improper use
1. Do not insert in the cylinder a quantity of product that is less than that recommended, as during cooling it could lead to
ice forming on the cylinder wall. That would make the machine noisy, cause wear and damage to the mixer scrapers.
The suitable quantity of product which can be processed is indicated in sec. 2.4 “Machine technical data" of
this manual.
2. Do not insert in the cylinder a quantity of product that is more than that recommended, as it could prevent correct
machine operation, and the product can leak out of the cylinder. That would stress the mixer’s motor-driven shaft. The
suitable quantity of product which can be processed is indicated in sec. 2.4 “Machine technical data" of this
manual.
A. For hot processing:
• During “heating” of the ingredients placed in the cylinder, do not lift the cover on the top of it unless you are wearing
suitable gloves which protect against heat.
• During extraction of a “hot” product ("liquid" products, creams, jams, etc.) do not completely lift the extraction door lever,
extraction, do not exceed 200 rpm for doughy products, 80 rpm for creamy products and do not activate extraction
for liquid products. Do not accidentally open the extraction door lever with improper movements and/or positions. Use
heat-resistant gloves and/or suitable protective clothing.
• When cooking and/or heating with “liquid” products, maintain the mixer speed of rotation indicated in the programs,
personal protective equipment for high temperatures (heat-resistant gloves and protective clothing).
• When cooking and/or heating with “liquid” products, be extremely careful not to “accidentally” start other programs
cylinder while the temperature of the remaining product and/or of the surface of the cylinder is such that it risks causing
scalding and/or burns by contact with or proximity to parts of the machine or materials at a very high temperature. Use
heat-resistant gloves and/or suitable protective clothing.
B. For cold processing:
while the temperature of the remaining product and/or of the surface of the cylinder is such that it risks causing injuries
by contact with or proximity to parts of the machine or materials at a very low temperature. Use heat/cold-resistant
gloves and/or suitable protective clothing.
