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.
The reference language for these instructions is French.

Grounding is mandatory

Use and Safety
3.1 OPERATION - SAFETY
• The safety of the user is ensured by:
- The need to press the ON pushbutton after a stoppage (“no
voltage” device)
- Compliance with the instructions of this manual for use, cleaning
and maintenance of the machine.
• Control box
ION pushbutton
OOFF pushbutton
• An adjustable time-lag relay in the machine ensures the ope-
rating cycle (preset to 3 minutes).
Time lag relay adjustment:
- Turn the machine over.
- Remove the round rubber cover.
- Using a screwdriver, set the desired time (as a percentage)
E.g.:
3 = 3 min. (standard adjustment)
1 = 1 min
2 = 2 min.
a) Startup:
- Press the ON button to begin a 3-min. cycle.
- Automatic stoppage at cycle end.
d) Stoppage
- The O button stops the machine in its operation.
- An impulse on I engages another 3-minute cycle.
3.2 VARIOUS EQUIPMENT
• ABRASIVE PLATE
- To peel fine-skin vegetables (potatoes, new carrots, salsify).
- The skin wears on contact with the abrasive grain.
- Filter recommended for intensive use or for small-section drain
(to be drained every 2 peeling cycles).
• SPIN-DRYING BASKET: as an option, used for washing and
spin-drying salad, parsley and various aromatic herbs.
3.3 CAPACITIES (FOR INFORMATION ONLY):
• Nominal load per operation:
- Potato peeling (kg): 5
- Salad spin-drying: 1 plant / parsley approximately 500 g.

2.4WASTE WATER DRAIN AND WASTE SEPARATION
• Waste separation is necessary, depending on the size of such
waste (pieces of peel, skin, starch, foam, soil) depending on the
equipment used (see § 3.2)
• Some installations have starch decanting tanks to which connec-
tion can be made directly. For other installations, we advise a
filter mounted on the peeling machine to prevent clogging and
bad smells.
• The machine is provided with a drain flexible hose 0.7 m long,
not assembled.
- Screw on the flexible hose, LH thread, counter-clockwise
into coupling E.
Recommendations:
To drain off the waste water correctly, avoid:
- Vertical falls opening onto a manhole (causing foam to form),
- Abrupt bends,
- Flattened, deformed or shrunken pipes,
- Counter-slopes or excessively shallow slopes 2.2b
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.
Any other use than that described in this manual will not be
considered normal by the manufacturer.

3.6 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
• For peeling vegetables:
- There is no need to wash vegetables before peeling them.
- Do not work with too small a quantity.
- Peel vegetables of the same size
- Cut vegetables that are too long (salsify), protuberances, carrot
forks.
- Peeling time: 3 min. depending on type of vegetables.
Cleaning and hygiene
4.1 AFTER USE
Separate all removable parts:
- Tank, cover, abrasive plate for soaking or washing in a
machine.
- For the mussels bowl and plate, it is strongly recommended
to brush before machine washing in order to eliminate residue
from the previous mussel cleaning session.
- It is mandatory to empty the filter basket and clean it under
the tap.
- Clean the outside of the machine using a damp sponge.
Note: Do not use abrasive detergent which can score the surfaces
or chlorine-based detergents which will tarnish the aluminum or
cause the plastics to fracture.
Do not wash the machine with a high pressure jet.
Operating incidents
• The load is not too heavy.
5.2 ABNORMAL NOISE
• Setpoint the machine.
• Check the positioning of the rotating equipment (see § 3.4).
• Check that no pebbles or foreign matter have remained in
the peeling chamber (risk of jamming and deterioration of the
plate).
• If the noise persists and the machine turns abnormally when
empty, check that:
- The belt is not worn (see § 6.1)
- The plate turns by hand without effort.
5.3 JAMMING OF PLATE OR SPIN-DRY BASKET
- Disconnect the machine.
- Remove the cover.
- Raise the machine by the hub.
- Strike the drive shaft at the middle of the hub with an interposed
aluminum or plastic shim, dia. 12 max.
Note: Clean and grease the machine drive shaft regularly using
tallow or food quality grease.
5.1 THE UNIT FAILS TO START, CHECK THAT:
• The machine is correctly connected.
• The electric power at the power outlet is suitable.
• With the vegetables loaded, fit the cover, locking it by turning
it (clockwise direction ). If the shower head is not on the
cover, clip it in place.
The peeling machine is ready to operate.
Do not overload - Do not pack the products down. Any
overloading will be detrimental to the quality and speed
of work.
Be sure to empty the filter at the end of peeling.
