1.4 – Description of the machine
The meat grinder in your possession is a simple, compact, highly efficiency and powerful
machine.
- As it is supposed to be used for chopping food, the components that can come in contact with the
product have been carefully chosen to ensure maximum hygiene. The housing is made of stainless
steel AISI 304.
- The hopper is made of stainless steel AISI 304 to ensure maximum hygiene and easy cleaning.
- The plates and knives are made of grade AISI 430 stainless steel; therefore, they may rust if they
are left immersed or wet. We recommend drying them after they are washed.
- Feed and rotor of cast stainless steel AISI 304 with the possibility of applying the UNGER system
in whole or part.
- Possibility of reversing the direction of rotation using a switch
- Rigid locking of the feed to improve the cut of the meat and extend the life of the plates and
blades.
- Ventilated motors either three-phase or single phase with the following advantages:
- consistency of performance and durability of the engine;
- increase in the effective operating time due to fewer interruptions;
- low rate of heat to keep the meat fresh and unaffected.
The models shown in this manual have been produced according to EEC Directive 2006/42, as
amended.
In case of accident, no liability can be assigned to the manufacturer if the machine has been
modified, tampered with, deprived of safety guards or used for purposes not intended by the
manufacturer.
1.5 - Intended Use
The machine is designed and manufactured to grind meat or fish up to a maximum temperature of
7°C. After every work cycle, we recommend not leaving any food inside the grinding inlet or on the
trays for long periods (maximum 5 minutes). The meat grinder must be used in professional
environments by qualified operators who have read and understood this manual. Use the machine
only when safely supported on a solid work table. The size of the meat to be ground must be such
as to fit completely in the inlet feed and not overflow the hopper.
1.6 - Prohibited uses
The machine must only be used for the purposes intended by the manufacturer, in particular:
- do not use the machine for chopping foods other than meat and the like.
- do not use the machine if not properly installed with all the guards intact and properly installed to
avoid the risk of severe injury.

WARNING!
Do not alter the data on the
plate for any reason.
-Do not use nor store the machine inside a cold room: this could seriously damage the
electrical components sensitive to condensate (which forms at low temperatures) and also alter
the viscosity of the grease and/or lubricating oil in the gearbox housed inside it, jeopardising the
machine’s correct operation and causing potential failures.
-Do no access the electrical components without first disconnecting the machine from the
mains supply: risk of electric shock.
-do not pro ess products that are larger than what can be totallycontained in the loading
hopper.
-do not wear garments that do not comply with safety regulations. Consult your employer
about the requirements of safety ineffect and the protective devices to be used.
-Do no start the machine during a breakdown.
-Before usi g the machine, make sure that any unsafe condition has been properly removed.
In case of any irregularities, stop the machine and warn those responsible for maintenance .
-Do not allowunauthorized personnel to service the machinery.
The first aid emergency treatment in case of accident caused by electric current is to remove
the person from the conductor (as he has usually passed out).
This operation is dangerous. The victim in this case has become a conductor: touching him
means being electrocuted.
Therefore remove the contacts directly fromthe supply valve of the line, or if that is not
possible, remove the victim using insulating materials (sticks of wood or PVC, fabric, leather,
etc.). The patient should be immediately seen by medical staff and admitted to a hospital.
