Installation
The Potato Peeler must be installed onto a stable working surface. Verify the voltage of the power source it will
be connected to (110V). The power cord has two (2) at pins and one (1) round pin for grounding (ground wire
pin). It is mandatory that the three pins are properly connected before using the equipment. It is recommended
to install the machine close to a sewer or to canalize the residues by extending the Exit Tube (Pic. 1, #9)
located on the lower part of the machine.
IMPORTANT
Make sure the Abrasive Disc (Pic. 1, #7) is well placed on the Central Shaft Pin (Pic. 2, #2) before switching
the machine on.
Check if the Potato Peeler is rm in its position. Install the water entrance and exit. Check if the inner abrasive
disc walls are properly placed. Observe the link attachment with the lock (Pic. 2, #3).
Operation
IMPORTANT
Under no circumstances touch the Abrasive Disc when it is in moving. Secure the lid (Pic. 1, #5), open the
water tap, set the timer (Pic. 1, #6) and activate the ON/OFF switch (Pic. 1, #3). With the machine on, pour
the product to be processed inside it. For the DB-25HD, put 25 Kg of potatoes at most. The working time
varies from one (1) to ve (5) minutes. If the potatoes are being peeled to irregularly, it is possible to observe
the process through the lid opening. To remove the peeled product, keep the machine running and open the
Door (Pic. 3, #1) by pulling the lock (Pic. 3, #2 upwards. Lift it until the side lock (Pic. 3, #3) and keep the door
(Pic. 3, #1) open. This way the product will be expelled. To close the door, release the side lock (Pic. 3, #3) by
pulling it sideways.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEMS, CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS
The Potato Peeler was designed to operate with minimum maintenance. However, some irregularities may
occur during its operation due to the natural wear caused by the use of the equipment. If there is any problem
with your machine, check the below table for possible solutions.
Problems Causes Solution
The machine does not turn ON. Power outage. Problem on internal
or external electric circuit of the
machine.
Check if there is power. Call a
qualied technician.
Burnt smell or smoke. Problem on the internal or external
electric circuit of the machine.
Call a qualied technician.

10
Troubleshooting
The machine turns on but when
the product is placed on the disc, it
stops or spins in low rotation.
Skidding belts or problems with the
electric motor.
Call a qualied technician.
Strange noises. Abrasive Disc is misplaced. There
are damaged ball bearings.
Place the Abrasive Disc
appropriately on the Central Shaft
Pin. Call a qualied technician.
Water leak in the bottom of the
machine.
Damaged retainer. Call a qualied technician.
ADJUSTMENTS AND REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENTS
The Abrasive Disc is covered with an aluminum oxide layer responsible for the food peeling. After some time,
the aluminum oxide wears out and the efciency of the machine decreases. The Abrasive Disc must then be
replaced.
