TransporT:
Lifting equipment should always be used to move the machine. Allowance should be made for the fact that
the machine is ‘top-heavy’.
The machine must not be pulled or lifted by the bowl lift handle.
When the machine is moved, it should be in a vertical position at all times.
insTallaTion and fixinG:
The ambient temperature around the machine must not exceed 45oC.
If the mixer is placed on a table, it must be bolted on to the table. Use 4 M6 bolts with a length of 130 mm + the thickness
of the table top, see drawing page 12
Ifthemixerisplacedonabenchstand,itcanbeplaceddirectontheoor.Foundationboltsintheoorarerecommended.
Intermediatepiecescanbeinsertedunderthemixer’sfeet,iftheoorisnotcompletelyeven.
Electrical connection:
Users can connect the mixer to the power supply themselves; refer to the section on Electrical connection which must be
followed.
Forthebenetofservicestaff,itshouldbecleartoseewhenthemainsplugtothemixerhasbeenremovedfromthe
socket in the wall.
Before the machine is connected to the mains, check that the voltage and frequency printed on the name
plate are correct for the installation location. The name plate is placed at the top of the back of the mixer
There is a risk of injury if the machine is not earthed.
Itmust beensured thatthe cableused toconnect themachine tothe mainsmeets thestandard for the country
in which the machine is installed. See also Example of electrical connections.
The mixer must be earthed. Failure to do so may cause injury. If there is no earth connection, the EMC
lterwillnotwork,withtheriskofdamagetothefrequencyconverter.
When the machine is connected, phase + neutral + earth or phase + phase + earth should be used. In
both cases, it is important to ensure that the voltage between the two live pins matches the name plate.(See
examples below)
The machine must only be connected to an earthed mains supply.
Aplug with two pins plus earth should be used.Alternatively, two wires plus earth from a three-phase supply
may be used.
The machine should be protected by a differential switch.
The machine is protected by a 5A fuse. The fuse is built into the socket on the back of the machine. To this
comes a 10A fuse which is mounted in the frequency converter, see “Service instructions” page 12.

recommended Use of The machine:
The machine is designed for the manufacture of products that do not trigger any reactions or release sub-
stances that may be harmful to the user when in use.
The machine must not be used in an explosive atmosphere.
The mixer must only be operated by staff who havebeen trained in the use of the machine according to these
instructions. Users must be over 14 years of age.
The mixer is designed for commercial use in kitchens, catering outlets and bakeries.
Themachinemayonlybeusedasspeciedinthismanual.
Unless the change is recommended by the manufacturer, modifying the machine is prohibited.
Ifthemachineisttedwithanattachmentdrive,onlyaccessoriesproducedorrecommendedbyA/SWodschow&Coshould
be attached.
max. capaciTy of The machine:
AR = absorption ratio (%AR)
(liquid as % of dry matter)
Local variations in the quality of the raw materials may affect water
absorption, volume, baking characteristics etc., and hence capacity.
Example:Abasicrecipecontains1kgofsolidsand 0,5 kg ofliquid:
This givesAR = 0,5 kg x 100 = 50%
1 kg
If for instance it is required to use the maximum capacity of the
mixer, the calculatedAR = 50%isused for determining the amount
of solids and liquid in the dough:
If a 10 L mixer is used, and a dough with AR = 50% is to be
kneaded, the maximum capacity is = 5 kg. Now the weight of
solids in this dough is calculated:
Solids = Max. capacity x100 =5 kg x 100 = 3,3 kg
AR + 100 50 + 100
Weight of liquid = 5 kg - 3,3 kg = 1,7 kg

• Tools can only rotate when the safety guard is in place
and the bowl is lifted.
• The safety guard is made of plastic. It is not possible
to attach the guard incorrectly.
• No access to rotating tools.
• Thespreadofourdustisinhibited
• Equipped with emergency stop - The tool stops rotat-
ing in less than 4 seconds (also for normal shut-down
and stop via safety guard).
• Clearancebetweenguard/standandliftinghandleat
least 50 mm.
• Noise level under 70 dB.
• Machine remains stable on a slope of up to 10o
The machine is protected against overvoltage.
The machine should be positioned to allow space for nor-
mal use and maintenance.
Non-ionisingradiationisnotproducedintentionally, but rather
technically conditioned by electrical equipment (e.g. electric
motors, live power lines or solenoids). The machine is not
equipped with strong permanent magnets. By maintaining
asafedistance(betweentheeldsourceandimplant)of
30 cm, any impact on active implants (e.g. pacemakers,
debrillators)canlikelybeprevented.
The following recommendations apply to work with
powdery ingredients:
• Powdery ingredients should not be poured into the
bowl from a great height.
• Bagsofe.g.ourshouldbeopenedatthebottom,
down in the bowl.
• Do not run up to the maximum speed too quickly.
There is a risk of injury if the machine is not
earthed.
It must be ensured that the cable used to
connect the machine to the mains meets the
standard for the country in which the machine
isinstalled. See also‘Electrical Connection’.
Placing your hands in the bowl while the ma-
chine is running may cause physical injury.
correcT Use of Tools:

vl-2 conTrol, error codes and possible solUTions:
Error codes and possible solutions:
The VL2 control will in case of certain errors show an error code in the display:
Too high temperature in the frequency converter.
Solution: Switch off the mixer and let it cool down.
Wrong voltage of power supply.
Solution: Compare the voltage indicated on the machine label with the power supply.
The motor has been constantly overloaded for a long period of time. The load has been between 100 - 150% of
maximumload.Theoverloadistypicallyfoundincaseofmixing/whippingtaskswithconstantload.
Solution: Switch off the mixer and reduce the quantity of ingredients in the bowl. Finish the work in a lower speed.
Low voltage is periodically noted in the power supply.
Solution: The machine’s power supply must be inspected by a technician.
Too high temperature in motor.
Solution: Switch off the mixer and let it cool down. Reduce the quantity of ingredients in the bowl. Finish the work in a lower
speed.
Communication break. Cable Connection between the control panel and frequency converter is defective.
Solution: Make sure the cable is seated properly in the connectors, replace the cable if it is defective.
, and The mixer has been overloaded from work with heavy dough or the like
Solution: Reduce the quantity of ingredients in the bowl. if possible, the product may be decomposed into smaller pieces
or diluted before the mixer is restarted. Finish the work in a lower speed.
Errors that do not cause an error code in the display:
The mixer does not start when is pushed, but the timer is counting as normal. There is no error code in the display.
Solution: The frequency converter is defective and must be exchanged. See “Service Instructions” page 12 for access
to the frequency converter.
The mixer does not start when is pushed. There is no error code in the display.
Solution: Activateemergencystopandreleaseitagain.Nowtwodifferentcodesshouldbeshowninthedisplay.Therst
codeisasmallsquareintopoftherstcipherofthedisplayfollowedbyaversioncode,thisisthesoftwarever-
sionofthecontrolpanel.Thenextcodeisasmallsquareinbottomoftherstcipherofthedisplayfollowedby
aversioncode,thisisthesoftwareversionofthefrequencyconverter.Ifnocodesareshownorifonlytherst
code is shown, the error can derive from either a defective communication cable between the control panel and
the frequency converter, or a defective frequency converter.
The mixer is totally “dead”, no light in the control panel.
Solution: Check the connection to power supply, if connection and power supply are OK, the error is either a defective
communication cable between the control panel and the frequency converter, or a defective fuse in the frequency
converter. See “Service Instructions” page 12 for access to the
frequency converter.
