Introduction
The User Manual contains useful information for the user on
how to work correctly and in complete safety, and is designed
to make it easier to use the machine (called «machine» or
«appliance» below).
What follows is in no case intended to be a long list of warnings
and constraints, but rather a series of instructions meant to
improve the service provided by the machine in every respect,
and particularly to avoid a series of injuries or damage to equi-
pment that might result from inappropriate procedures for use
and management.
It is essential that all the people responsible for transporting,
installing, commissioning, using, maintaining, repairing or dismant-
ling the machine should consult this manual and read it carefully
before proceeding with the various operations, in order to avoid
any incorrect or inappropriate handling that might be result in
damage to the machine or put people’s safety at risk.
It is just as important that the Manual should always be available
to the operator and it should be kept carefully where the machine
is used ready for easy and immediate consultation in case of any
doubt, or in any case, whenever the need arises.
If after reading the Manual, there are still any doubts concerning
how to use the machine, please do not hesitate to contact the
Manufacturer or approved After Sales Service provider, who
is constantly available to ensure quick and careful service for
improved machine operation and optimum efficiency.
Note that the safety, hygiene and environmental protection stan-
dards currently applicable in the country where the machine is
installed must always be applied during all phases of machine
operation. Consequently it is the user’s responsibility to ensure
that the machine is operated and used solely under the optimum
safety conditions laid down for people, animals and property.
ATTENTION!!
Machine storage: -25°C to +50°C
Ambient temperature during operation: +4°C to +40°C
This machine is for professional use and must be used by staff trained to use, clean and maintain it, in terms or reliability and
safety.
Use the machine in adequately lit premises (See applicable technical standard for the country of use. In Europe, refer to standard
EN 12464-1)
When handling the machine, always check that the parts taken hold of are not mobile elements: risk of dropping and injury to the
lower limbs.

• Install as follows :
- Connect the hose Bto the peeler and secure it with a collar C.
- Place the machine on the stand, introducing the equipped
outlet pipe into the hole provided.
- Attach the machine to the stand (4 screws and washers D).
The screws to fix the peeler to the table are inside the
machine. Respect the length of the screw.
Note : Ensure that sufficient space is available above the ma-
chine so that the lid may be opened, and in front of the stand
so that the basket may be removed.
- If necessary, pack and level the stand by unscrewing the
retaining screw of the feet (10 mm socket spanner).
- Adjust the foot then lock in position.
- Check that the machine is completely stable.
- The feet may be anchored by counter drilling their retention
holes (dia. 5 x 40 screws and rawl plugs not supplied).

2.2LOCATION
• Handling - Transport
The machine is packaged with table in such a way as to be
lifted with a fork-lift truck. In the event of manual handling of the
machine alone, two persons will be required.
• The vegetable peeler needs :
- connecting to the cold water system near a stop cock (see § 2.3).
- an adequate evacuation to the drains (see § 2.4).
- an electrical power supply (see § 2.5).
• The vegetable peeler must be fitted either :
- On a support that is fully stable, horizontal and not reso-
nant (table, unit, sink top, etc.) of between 500 and 900 mm
in height.
Note: In this case, the peeling machine can be removed easily
after disconnecting the power outlet and the flexible water supply
pipe or unclipping the water inlet from the cover.
- On a standard filter stand (optional)
or a special pivoting stand (upon request)
Never place the T5S in a sink (water may enter the motor)
2.2a
2.1b
2.2b 2.2d
2.3 CONNECTION TO THE WATER MAINS SYSTEM
• The vegetabla peeler uses the mains pressure and reduced
flow rate.
• In conformity with the sanitary regulations, the machine’s
water inlet is located above the overflow level, at a standardised
distance (overflow device).
• Connect the machine to a stop cock with a reinforced pipe of
15 mm internal diameter and clamped by means of a collar.
Note : If the machine is to be moved around regularly, use a
connection pipe that is fitted with quick release connectors.
2.4DRAIN USED WATER AND SEPARATION OF WASTE
• The waste must be separated according to their size (peelings,
skins, starch, moss, earth, etc.) depending on the different
equipment that is used (see § 3.2).
• Some installations have starch decantation tanks that may be
directly connected. For other installations, we recommend ins-
talling the machine on a filter stand in order to avoid blockages
and bad smells.
• Possible installations :
- Vegetable peeler without stand (near to a sink) : Place a filter
basket or a strainer next to the peeler.
- Vegetable peeler on filter stand : Attach the outlet pipe (B),
internal diameter 88 mm to the under side of the tank for col-
lecting the used water , using the collar to fasten to the drain.
• Tips :
To drain used water correctly, avoid :
- vertical drops onto inspection chambers (formation of
foam),
- sharp angles,
- flattened, deformed or narrow pipes,
- counter slopes, or slopes which are not steep enough.
2.2a
2.2C
T5S GB 02 2021 2
ATTENTION!!
Connection to the electrical power supply must be done according to proper professional practice by a qualified and authorised
person (see current standards and legislation in the country of installation).
If an adapter is used on the socket, a check must be made that the electrical characteristics of this adapter are not lower than
those of the machine.
Do not use multiple plugs
The AC power supply to the machine must comply with the following conditions;
- Maximum voltage variation: ±5%
- Maximum frequency variation: ±1% on a continuous basis, ± 2% over short periods
ATTENTION: the electrical installation must comply (for design, creation and maintenance) with the legal and standard
requirements in the country where used.
- Check that the electric mains voltage, the value shown on the specification plate are the same.
- The machine’s electrical power supply must be protected against voltage surges (short-circuits and excess voltages) by using
fuses or thermal relays of the appropriate gauge relative to the place of installation and machine specifications
ATTENTION: Concerning protection against indirect contact (depending on the type of power supply provided and
connection of the exposed conductive parts to the equipotential protection circuit), refer to point 6.3.3 of EN 60204-1 (IEC
60204-1) with the use of protection devices for automatic shut-off of power in the event of an insulation fault with a TN or
TT, system, or for the IT system, with the use of a permanent insulation or differentials controller for automatic shut-off.
The requirements of IEC 60364-4-41, 413.1 must apply for this protection.
For example: in a TT system, a differential circuit breaker must be installed upline of the power supply, with a suitable power
cut-off (e.g.: 30 mA) on the earthing installation for the place where it is planned to install the machine.
ATTENTION: Failure to comply with these instructions means the customer runs the risk of machine failure and/or accidents
due to direct or indirect contacts.
2.5ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• The machine is connected to a single phase supply by means of a
moulded 2 pin + earth plug visible and accessible for the operator.
• Before connecting the machine to the electrical power supply,
check that the voltage of the electrical system is the same as
that marked on the rating plate.
• The machine must be protected by a differential circuit breaker
and a 16 A fuse.
• Provide a single phase wall socket with 2 poles + earth,
rating 10/16 A , visible and accessible for the operator.
• Motor characteristics :
Supply Nominal Frequency Current Electrical
voltage (V) power (W) (Hz) (A) Consu. (kWh)
115 120 60 2,5 0,15
230 120 50 1,3 0,15
The machine must be earthed.
To PAT test the Electrolux Range of Food Preparation Equipment,
the PCB board needs to be disconnected before any test is done.
This is due to the fact that the boards are fitted with a grounding
diode that can give incorrect result during such a test. Also on a
standard appliance a flash test of 25 amps and up to 3000v is
used but, as you would expect, to use this on equipment, which
has a printed circuit, board would be quite destructive to that
board. We would recommend the use of a PAT tester approved
for computer systems which use a lower rate of amps.
The appliance is perfectly safe and is CE certificated. There are
two ways to get overcome this problem.
· Disconnect the board as instructed and test using test for
PC’s,
· Or install the mixer on a fused spur (no plug) as this takes it
away from being a portable appliance and the PAT test is then
not needed.
