(4:B) for pushing out any product remaining in the grid.
•Remove the loose parts of the machine, wash them and dry them thoroughly.
•Wipe the machine with a damp cloth.
•Always store the cutting tools (3) on the racks (4:A/4:C) on the wall or trolley.

•Check that the machine stops as soon as the pusher plate (1:A) has been moved up
and swung out, and that restarts when the pusher plate has been swung in and low-
ered.
•Check that the machine cannot be started with the feeder/lid (1:C) removed and
with the pusher plate lowered.
•Removethe plug from the power supply socket and then check that the electric ca-
ble is in good condition and is not craced on the outside.
If any of the two safety functions does not perform as intended or if the electric cable is
cracked, get a specialist to attend to the machine before connecting it back to the power
supply.
•Check that the pusher plate shaft (1:I) has been lubricated as necessary and runs

PROBLEM MEASURES
The machine cannot be started, or stops while
its running and cannot be restarted. Check that the plug issecurely fitted into the power supply socket,or thatthe isolating switch is closed . Check that the feeder/lid (1:C), pusher plate (1:A)
or the feed hopper is locked in the correct position. Move down the pusher
plate (1:A) into the feeder/lid. Check that the fuses in the fuse box for the
premises have not blown and that they have the correctrating. Wait for a few
minutes and try to restart the machine. If the machine still fails to run, call a
specialist.
Low capacity or poor cutting results. Make sure that you are using the correct cutting tool or combination of cut-
ting tools (3). Fit the gabbage screw (1:J). Check that the knives and shred-
der plates are in good condition and are sharp. Press the food down loosely.
The cutting tool (3) cannot be removed. Always use the ejector plate (1:D). Use a thick leather glove or the like that
the knives of the cutting tool cannot cut through, and turn the cutting tool
clockwise to release it.
The cabbage screw (1:J) cannot be removed. Use the spanner (1:K) to unscrew the cabbage screw clockwise.
