1.
Installation and initial operation
Read these operating instructions as well as the operating instructions for the VA 4000 completely. These
additional instructions are only a supplement.
Only operate the machine according to the instructions.
Always work with care to avoid damage or injury. The installation, introduction and initial operation must
be done by an authorized supplier or service technician.
1.1.
Installation
Install the food slicer model VA 4000 on the supplied stand. Make
sure that the feet of the machine are placed into the cups fixed on the
stand.
Place the front end of the conveyor belt up on the base of the machine and slide it
securely over the mounting bolt. Make sure that the power plug is located on the left
side of the conveyor. Then lower the conveyor into the mounting brackets of the
support arm.
Make sure that both sides of the conveyor are supported and that it is securely in
place.
1.2.
Electrical installation
The conveyor belt is powered by the VA4000. Plug the conveyor belt power cord into the corresponding socket,
located at the front of the machine. Make sure to secure the plug into position by
tightening the outer safety locking ring.
2.
Operation
The operating instructions of the VA4000 are described in the “Operating instructions
for Food Slicer VA4000”. The only variation during programming will be the need for
the input of the desired distance between sliced portions. This input of disctance will
be necessary for all slicing programs for the conveyor belt to move forward and to separate the sliced portions.
Once the machine has been started, it will run continuously. There are three instances where the slicing
procedure will be stopped
1. The food product has run out. The machine stops and the end piece holder moves
back to the beginning of the carriage
2. The portions are reaching the end of the conveyor belt, are activating the end
switch, which will cause the slicer to stop slicing.
3. The slicing prodedure is interrupted by pushing the "start/stop" button or the
emergeny stop button.
Once the slicer stopped production, a previously placed stack of product will remain near the stacking arm. If the
machine resumes the slicing, the new portion would be positioned on top of the previously sliced one.
To avoid this, push the “B” button first. The conveyor belt will move forward the same distance which is used in
the current slicing program. However, this only applies if the conveyor belts’ end switch was not activated..

3. Cleaning
The machine must be cleaned prior to initial operation and after a longer period of standstill.
In accordance with FDA regulations, the slicer must be cleaned at least once every 4 hours if kept at room
temperature. Cleaning may be necessary more frequently at higher temperatures or when slicing products that
may harden on the blade like cheeses, soft meats, etc.
It is recommended to disconnect the conveyor belt from the machine for better cleaning.
After unplugging it from the VA4000, make sure that both parts of the power conectors have their protective caps
securely in place so that no moisture can enter the electrical system. Clean the belts and the metal base with
soapy water and cleaning cloths, using anti-bacterial detergent as described in the “Cleaning and Sanitizing
procedure VA4000 Slicers”.
For a quick cleaning between slicing sessions, the conveyor belt can be cleaned while it is connected to the
machine base.
Press and hold the "cleaning" button. Release the button after 5 seconds and the conveyor belts will start moving.
Pushing the "cleaning" button again quickly will stop the conveyor belt.
Be careful when cleaning the machine, especially in the area of the blade.
To carry out the cleaning process, refer to the work instruction WI-Maintenance-001; Cleaning and Sanitizing
Procedure provided by Jaccard in the manual kit with this machine.
