IMPORTANT
This equipment features a safety system to protect the operator. The operator shall
follow the steps on the Operaon instrucons solely; any other steps are unsafe
and shall not be taken.
3.2 Operaon Procedures
Before using the equipment, all parts that get in contact with the product to be processed
must be washed with water and neutral soap. (Read item 3.3 Cleaning and Sanizing).
Verify if the equipment is stable and rm in its working place.
Remove the Disc #3 (Pic. 04).
Spread a small quanty of our over the Disc.
Place the dough Ball on the center of the Disc.
Spread a small quanty of our over the dough ball.
Place the Disc back into the Equipment. With an easy and connuous move, push the
Handle #2 (Pic 4) down, in order for the dough ball to get in contact with the cones.
Keep the handle pressed down making more pressure on the handle during a few
seconds unl the dough gets to desired thickness and diameter. It is recommended to
use both hands to perform this step for a rmer grip and beer control.
Aer geng the desired thickness and diameter, return the handle to its original
posion.
Remove the Disc #3 (Pic. 4) out of the unit and the dough from the Disc.
Repeat the above steps to make more pizza pies.
Aer nishing work, turn the Equipment o by pushing the OFF Buon #04 (Pic. 04).
IMPORTANT
The dough thickness and diameter is a result of the dough ball size and the
pressure you put on the handle during operaon.

10
IMPORTANT
Never spray water directly to the equipment.
3.4 Cauons with stainless steel
The Stainless Steel may present rust signs, which are ALWAYS CAUSED BY EXTERNAL
AGENTS, especially when the cleaning or sanizaon is not constant and appropriate.
IMPORTANT
Unplug the machine from socket before start cleaning.
Equipment must be totally cleaned:
-Before using it for the rst me;
-Aer daily operaon;
-When it will not be used for long periods of me;
To clean the Equipment follow the instrucons bellow:
-Unplug the machine from socket.
-Remove the Disc #6 (Pic. 01).
Normally the place with more concentraon of residues is the Disc and the Disc Base.
The Disc can be removed and washed individually, using a cloth or sponge with a lile of
water and neutral soap.
It is not possible to remove the Disc Base for cleaning. Clean the top of the Disc Base with
a wet cloth and lile neutral detergent and wipe it dry. To facilitate access under the Disc
Base for cleaning, pull the Handle down to li it up and use the Handle Lock #3 (Pic. 01) to
lock it in place and clean underneath it the same way as described above.
To access the Cones, leave the Disc Base completely down to have free access to both
Cones.
In case the Cones or any other parts are covered with dry dough or our, proceed as per
below instrucons:
-Get a wet so cloth or sponge with lile neutral detergent and pass over the area covered
with dry dough or our.
-Wait for a few seconds and right aer this, use a plasc scraper to remove the dough or
our from the parts.
-Repeat these cleaning instrucons with a wet cloth or sponge and neutral detergent if
necessary.
-Finalize the cleaning with a so dry cloth to wipe dry the enre unit.
3.3 Cleaning and Sanizing

11
IMPORTANT
Acid soluons, salty soluons, disinfectants and some sterilizing soluons
(hypochlorites, tetravalent ammonia salts, iodine compounds, nitric acid and
others), must be AVOIDED, once it cannot remain for long in contact with the
stainless steel.
These substances aack the stainless steel due to the CHLORINE on its composion,
causing corrosion spots (ping). Even detergents used in domesc cleaning must not
remain in contact with the stainless steel longer than the necessary, being mandatory to
remove it with plain water and then dry the surface completely.
Use of abrasives:
Sponges or steel wool and carbon steel brushes, besides scratching the surface
and compromising the stainless steel protecon, leave parcles that rust and react
contaminang the stainless steel. That is why such products must not be used for cleaning
and sanizaon. Scrapings made with sharp instruments or similar must also be avoided.
Main substances that cause stainless steel corrosion:
Dust, grease, acid soluons such as vinegar, fruit juices, etc., saltern soluons (brine),
blood, detergents (except for the neutral ones), common steel parcles, residue of sponges
or common steel wool, and also other abrasives.
When the protecve coat is broken, the corrosion process begins, being possible to avoid
it by means of constant and adequate cleaning.
Cleaning must always be done immediately aer using the equipment. For such end, use
water, neutral soap or detergent, and clean the equipment with a so cloth or a nylon
sponge.
Then rinse it with plain running water, and dry immediately with a so cloth, this way
avoiding humidity on surfaces and especially on gaps. The rinsing and drying processes
are extremely important to prevent stains and corrosion from arising.
The Stainless Steel resistance towards corrosion is mainly due to the presence of chrome,
which in contact with oxygen allows the formaon of a very thin protecve coat.
This protecve coat is formed through the whole surface of the steel, blocking the acon
of external corrosive agents.

The following safety instrucons are addressed to both the operator of the machine as
well as the person in charge of maintenance. The machine has to be delivered to the
operator in perfect condions of use by the Distributor to the user. The user shall operate
the machine only aer being well acquainted with the safety procedures described in the
present manual. READ THIS MANUAL WITH ATTENTION.
4.1 Basic Operaon Pracces
4.1.1 Dangerous parts
Some parts of the electric devices are connected to high voltage points. These parts when
touched may cause severe electrical shocks or even be FATAL.
Never touch commands such as buons, switches and knobs with wet hands, wet clothes
and/or shoes. By not following these instrucons operator could be exposed to severe
electrical shocks or even to a FATAL situaon.
4.1.2 Warnings
The operator has to be well familiar with the posion of ON/OFF Switch to make sure the
Switch is easy to be reached when necessary. Before any kind of maintenance, physically
remove plug from the socket.
Provide space for a comfortable operaon thus avoiding accidents.
Water or oil spilled on the oor will turn it slippery and dangerous. Make sure the oor is
clean and dry.
Before giving any manual command (switch, buons, turn keys or lever) be sure the
command is the correct one. Check this manual for further details if necessary.
Never use a manual command (switch, buons, lever) unadvisedly.
If any work is to be made by two or more persons, coordinaon signs will have to be given
for each operaon step. Every step of the operaon shall be taken only if the sign has been
made and responded.
4.1.3 Advices
In case of power shortage, immediately turn the machine OFF.
Use recommended or equivalent lubricants, oils or greases.
Avoid mechanical shocks as they may cause failures or malfuncon.
Avoid penetraon of water, dirt or dust into mechanical or electrical components of the
machine.
DO NOT MODIFY original characteriscs of the machine.
DO NOT REMOVE, TEAR OFF or MACULATE ANY SAFETY or IDENTIFICATION LABELS stuck
IMPORTANT
If any recommendaon is not applicable to your equipment, please ignore it.
