VI. INSTRUCTIONS FOR
OPERATOR FOR NORMAL
MACHINE USE
This appliance is designed and built for use in many appli-
cations, but always and only concerning the washing of
fresh vegetables. Use the appliance in conformity with the
technical data.
ATTENTION:
• Never start the vegetable washer without water in the
tank.
• The amount of dirtying by chemical contaminants and soil,
etc. can vary considerably in green vegetables. For correct
use of the vegetable washer, do not wash products that
are excessively dirty with such contaminants and soil.
• The vegetable washing process mainly consists of remo-
ving the substances (dirt) present on them.
Washing quality mainly depends on the following factors:
• amount of product to be washed (do not exceed the ma-
ximum values given in the table);
• intensity of water recirculation;
• washing time, presence or not of pump activation pauses
during washing;
• frequency of tank emptying (partial or total).With average
“dirt”, the tank should be emptied every 1 or 2 wash cycles.
• Before and after washing, the vegetables must be kept in
places having suitable hygienic characteristics.

operation, disconnect the appliance from the power
supply by means of the device lockable in open
position.
ATTENTION!
During maintenance, the cable and plug must be
kept in a visible position by the operator carrying
out the work.
ATTENTION!
Do not touch the appliance with wet hands or feet
or when barefoot.Do not remove the safety guards.
ATTENTION!
Use suitable personal protective equipment (pro-
tective gloves).
3.1. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Frequently check the state of the power cable and, if neces-
sary, request the assistance of the specialised technician to
replace it; have the appliance checked periodically (at least
once a year).
ATTENTION!
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the
appliance.
3.2. MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
Routine maintenance operations can be carried out by
non-specialised personnel, carefully following the instructions
given below. The manufacturer declines any liability for
operations carried out on the machine without following
these rules.
3.3. CLEANINGTHE APPLIANCE AND ACCESSORIES
Before using the appliance, clean all the internal
parts and accessories with lukewarm water and
neutral soap or products that are over 90% biode-
gradable (in order to reduce the emission of pol-
lutants into the environment), then rinse and dry
thoroughly. Do not use solvent-based detergents (e.g. trichlo-
ro-ethylene) or abrasive powders for cleaning. It is advisable
to go over the stainless steel surfaces with a rag moistened
with paraffin oil in order to create a protective film.
ATTENTION!
Do not clean the machine with jets of water.
3.4. PRECAUTIONS IN CASE OF LONG IDLE PERIODS
If the appliance is not going to be used for some time, take
the following precautions:
• Close the taps or main switches ahead of the appliances.
• Go over all the stainless steel surfaces vigorously with a
rag moistened with paraffin oil in order to create a pro-
tective film.
• Have the appliance checked before using it again.
• To prevent too rapid evaporation of accumulated moisture
with consequent breakage of elements, switch electric
appliances on at minimum heat for at least 45 minutes
before reuse.
ATTENTION!
Put the machine in safe conditions before starting
any maintenance operation.
After carrying out maintenance, make sure
the machine is able to work safely and, in particular, that the
protection and safety devices are efficient.
ATTENTION!
Respect the requirements for the various routine
and extraordinary maintenance operations.
Non-compliance with the instructions can create
risks for personnel.
3.5. EXTERNAL PARTS
SATIN-FINISH STEEL SURFACES (daily)
• Clean all the steel surfaces: dirt is easily removed when
it has just formed.
• Remove grime and grease from the steel surfaces when
cool using soapy water, with or without detergent, and a
cloth or sponge. Dry the surfaces thoroughly after clea-
ning.
• In case of encrusted grime, grease or food residuals, go
over with a cloth or sponge, wiping in the direction of the
satin finish and rinsing often: rubbing in a circular motion
combined with the particles of dirt on the cloth/sponge
could spoil the steel's satin finish.
• Metal objects can spoil or damage the steel: damaged
surfaces become dirty more easily and are more subject
to corrosion.
• Restore the satin finish if necessary.

36
3.6. LIMESCALE
STEEL SURFACES (when necessary)
Remove any limescale (stains or marks) left by hard water on
steel surfaces using suitable natural (e.g.vinegar) or chemical
detergents (e.g. “STRIPAWAY” produced by ECOLAB).
3.7. OTHER SURFACES
IMPORTANT! With electric appliances, ensure no water co-
mes into contact with electrical parts: water penetration can
cause short circuiting and dispersion, tripping the appliance
protection devices.
3.8. INTERNAL PARTS (EVERY 6 MONTHS)
IMPORTANT! Operations to be carried out only by specialised
technicians.
• Check the internal parts.
• Remove any deposits of grime inside the appliance.
• Check and clean the drain system.
• Remove any bits of vegetables left in the basket or tank.
• Do not use aggressive detergents to clean the machine.
In particular, do not use chlorine-based products to clean
the machine or the floor under it, as substances able to
damage its components could form.
• At the end of washing operations, carry out thorough
rinsing by activating the appliance and allowing water to
flow in order to remove any traces of detergents from the
pipes inside it.
• “Sanitise” the appliance with non chlorine-based products
(e.g. based on “quaternary ammonium salts” distributed
by ECOLAB) after idle periods or treatment of vegetables
having substantial amounts of contaminants, always
following the product supplier's instructions. Rinse imme-
diately. It is advisable to carry out this operation weekly.
NOTE ! In particular ambient conditions (e.g. intensive ap-
pliance use, salty environment, etc.) it is advisable to carry
out the above-mentioned cleaning more often.
3.9. EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE.

Special waste can be stored temporarily, awaiting treatment
for disposal and/or permanent storage. In any case, the
current environmental protection laws in the user's country
must be observed.
4.2. PROCEDURE REGARDING MACRO-OPERATIONS
FOR DISMANTLING THE APPLIANCE
Before disposing of the machine, make sure to carefully
check its physical condition, and in particular any parts of the
structure that can give or break during scrapping.
The machine's parts must be disposed of in a differentiated
way, according to their different characteristics (e.g. metals,
oils, greases, plastic, rubber, etc.). Different regulations are
in force in the various countries, therefore comply with the
provisions of the laws and competent bodies in the country
where scrapping takes place. In general, the equipment
must be taken to a specialised collection/scrapping centre.
Dismantle the equipment, grouping the components accor-
ding to their chemical characteristics, remembering that the
compressor contains lubricant oil and refrigerant fluid which
can be recycled, and that the refrigerator components are
special waste assimilable with urban waste.
ATTENTION!
Make the appliance unusable by removing the
power cable.
ATTENTION!
