"Optional" emptying arm for fine
grating and slicing only (cabbage,
celery, carrots, cheese, etc.).
SIDE A facing upwards (ejection
rib downwards) for any vegetables
or citrus fruit which require careful
handling (tomatoes, mushrooms...).
SIDE B facing upwards (ejection rib
upwards) for all other types of fruit or
vegetables.
2) Position your chosen disc:
a) If you have opted
for a slicing, grating or
julienne disc:
Position the disc on the
motor shaft. To ensure
that it is correctly
positioned, turn it in a
clockwise direction.
b) You have chosen a dicing equipment:
i.e. a grid and a special slicing disc for diced
vegetables.
Slicing discs and dicing grids can be mounted in
the following combinations:
ASSEMBLY
• CL 51
The CL 51 comprises of two removable parts: the
bowl and lid.
With the motor base unit
facing your, fit the bowl
onto the motor base unit
so that it juts out slightly
on the left, with the
ejection chute on your
right.
Turn the bowl to the right,
until it locks. In order to
dismount this vegetable
preparation bowl, we
only need to push on the
stainless steel button then
turn the bowl to the left.
• CL 50 / CL 50 Ultra / CL 51
1) With the motor base
facing you, place the
discharge plate on the
bottom of the bowl.
INTRODUCTION TO YOUR
NEW VEGETABLE PREPARATION
MACHINE CL 50 • CL 50 Ultra
“E” Version • CL 51
The CL 50 / CL 50 Ultra / CL 51 is perfectly geared
to professional needs. It can perform a big number
of tasks, which you will gradually discover as you
use it.
This model is equipped with a metal bowl, a
stainless steel motor base for CL 50 Ultra and
polycarbonate base for CL 50 and CL 51.
Thanks to its simple design, all components
requiring frequent handling for maintenance or
cleaning can be fitted and removed in a easily.
This manual contains important information
designed to help the user get the most out of this
vegetable preparation machine.
We therefore recommend that you read it
carefully before using your machine.
We have also included a few examples to help you
get the feel of your new machine and appreciate its
numerous advantages.
SWITCHING

Place the dicing grid in
the bowl of the vegetable
processor.
Make sure that the tab on
the grid is fully engaged
in the locking slot of the
motor base.
Next, fit the correspon-
ding slicing disc (straight-
edged blade) and rotate
in a clockwise direction
to ensure that it is correc-
tly positioned.
c) If you want to use the French fries equipment:
This equipment comprises a French fries grid and a
special French fries slicing disc.
Position the French fries
grid in the vegetable
preparation bowl.
Check that it is correctly
positioned with the French
fries plate positioned at
the outlet.
Next fit the appropriate
slicing disc and rotate in
a clockwise direction to
check that it is correctly
positioned.
3) Position the feed head of the vegetable prepara-
tion machine on the motor base.
4) The locking handle
should now be facing
you, on your right.
TO CHANGE THE DISC:
1) With the motor base
facing you, use your
right hand to unlock
the aluminium locking
handle which holds the
vegetable preparation
head on the motor base.
Lift the vegetable pre-
paration head, tilting it back to release the bowl.
2) Remove the disc by lifting it from underneath
using the hub and if necessary, turn in an anti-
clockwise direction to release…
If you have been using a dicing equipment, we
recommend you remove the grid and the disc at the
same time. This will be easier if you first rotate the
discharge plate.
3) When fitting dicing equipment, we recommend
that you clean the inside of the bowl with a damp
cloth or sponge, particularly the part onto which the
grid is to be fitted.
Always use a properly cleaned grid.
Never process soft foodstuffs after hard ones
without properly cleaning the grid beforehand.
4) Fit the discharge plate, disc or dicing equipment
as indicated in“assembly procedures” in points 1)
and 2).
5) Close the feed head of the vegetable preparation
machine and lock onto the motor base using the
locking handle.
USES & CHOICE OF DISCS
The feed head of the vegetable processor features
two feed openings:
- a large hopper opening for processing vegetables
such as cabbage and potatoes or onions.
- a cylindrical hopper opening for long vegetables,
guaranteeing a remarkable degree of cutting
precision.
USING THE LARGE HOPPER
- Raise the pusher to gain access to the feed opening.
- Fill the feeder right up to the top with vegetables.
- Lower the pusher so that it is flush with the top of the
feed opening.
- Exert a downwards pressure on the pusher.
This pressure should just accompany the cutting
process and will vary according to the type of
cut. Remember that a too high pressure will cause
unnecessary strain on the appliance.
- Cut cabbages in half and remove the core before
processing, in order to avoid unnecessary strain
and ensure an end-product of a higher quality.

813/01/2020
CLEANING
USING THE LARGE HOPPER
Always press the vegetables down with a pusher to
improve cutting efficiency.
Dishwashers are best avoided in order to prevent
the aluminum from becoming tarnished. Instead we
recommend that you clean the machine by hand,
using a “soft metal safe” detergent.
The feed head, discharge plates, and cutting plates
can be cleaned in a dishwasher. However, we
suggest that you use a mild (non-corrosive) detergent
designed for soft metals such as aluminum.
NEVER IMMERSE THE MOTOR BASE IN WATER.
CLEAN IT WITH A DAMP (NOT DRIPPING), CLOTH
OR SPONGE.
MAINTENANCE
• BLADES, PLATES AND GRATERS
The blades on the slicing discs, the plates on the
julienne discs and the graters are all wearing parts,
which have to be changed regulary to ensure high
quality cutting.
SAFETY
1) The machine is fitted with a safety system that
turns the machine off when the fead lead is opened.
If this system should ever fail, the machine should
be removed from use and serviced immediately.
To restart your machine, simply close the feed lead
back, close the locking handle and press the green
button.
2) The machine is fitted with a thermal protector
and a circuit breaker. One or the other
automatically stops the motor if the machine is
overloaded. If this happens, allow the machine to
cool completely before restarting.
If the circuit breaker has tripped, press the reset
button located below the base before attempting to
restart.
If the machine has become jammed press the off
button immediately.
Clear the food from the disk before restarting the
machine.
WARNING
Always unplug your food processor before
cleaning (risk of electric shock).
IMPORTANT
Check that your detergent is suitable for cleaning
plastic parts. Some washing agents are too alka-
line (e.g. high levels of caustic soda or ammonia)
and totally incompatible with certain types of
plastic, causing them to deteriorate rapidly.
WARNING
Do not open the feed head until the motor has
come to a complete stop.
Never tamper with or defeat the purpose of the
locking and safety systems.
Never place anything other than food products
into the entry port.
Never put anything into the exit port.
Always use the food pushers to force the food
through the entry ports.
Do not overload the machine or apply excess
pressure with the food pushers.
WARNING
The cutting plates are very sharp. Wear cut
resistant gloves when handling the plates.
