ConStruCtIon of the mIxer:
Bowl clamping system
with inductive sensor:
At the back of the right-
hand bowl arm is an in-
ductive sensor which is
activated when the bowl
is correctly positioned in
the bowl clamping system
(at the very back of the
bowl arms). This sensor
must be activated in order
for the mixer to operate.
If there is no contact be-
tween the bowl and the
inductive sensor, the bowl
cannot be lifted.
will appear in the display,
see “Error codes shown in
display” on page 10.
The bowl arms can move
a little in case of maximum
loading.
Safety guard –
removable.
The guard must be
closed before the tool
can rotate.
The bowl can be raised
with the guard open,
but it will stop where the
tool normally starts to
rotate. The guard must
be closed and two hands
are required to lift the
bowl the rest of the way.
VL-4 control panel with
Remix function
See page 5 for an explana-
tion of the panel.
Emergency
stop
Magnetic sensor, which
is activated by the guard
when the guard is closed.
Bowl lift and “JOG”-func-
tion:
The mixer is provided with a
“JOG”-function.
Before the bowl reaches its
top position, the tool starts
rotating to dig its way into the
ingredients.
The bowl lift requires two-
hands operation for safety
reasons.
PoSItIonInG the bowl In the mIxer:
The bowl arms must be lowered to their lowest position and the bowl pressed all the way to the back of the bowl arms. If
there is no contact between the bowl and the inductive sensor, the bowl cannot be lifted. will appear in the display,
see “Error codes shown in display” on page 10.
If you have a bowl with “ears” it is important to place it correct in the mixer.
Note: It is very important to orientate the bowl correctly
so that the “third ear” is turned in towards the mixer

CorreCt uSe of toolS:
Recommended applications for tools:
See the section “Maximum capacity of the machine”.
Whipsshould not be struck against hard objects as
e.g. the edge of the bowl. This will make the life of
the tool shorter due to increasing deformity.
For production of mashed potatoes the special
wing whip or the reinforced whip should be used,
alternatively use the beater and the whip.
CleanInG:
The mixer should be cleaned daily or after use.
Press the emergency stop before wiping the control panel.
The mixer should be cleaned with a soft cloth and clean
water. Sulphonated soaps should be used with caution as
they destroy the mixer’s lubricants.
Never use high pressure cleaning for the mixer.
Parts made of aluminum should not be used to
strongly acidic, highly alkaline or highly salty food-
stuffs, which may attack aluminum without coating
Tools of aluminium must not be washed with strong
alkaline detergents - The PH value should be be-
tween 5 and 8.
Please note that the plastic safety guard may be
damagedif it isexposedto high temperaturesfor
a prolonged period. (Max. temperature 60ºC)
maxImum CaPaCIty of the mIxer:
Example: A basic recipe contains 1 kg of solids and
0,6 kg of liquid:
This gives AR = 0,6 kgs x 100 = 60%
1 kg
If for instance it is required to use the maximum capac-
ity of the mixer, the calculated AR = 60% is used for
determiningtheamount of solidsandliquidin the dough:
If a 140 L mixer is used, and a dough with AR = 60% is
to be kneaded, the maximum capacity is = 80 kgs. Now
the weight of solids in this dough is calculated:
Solids = Max. capacity x100 =80 kg x 100 = 50 kg
AR + 100 60 + 100
Weight of liquid = 80 kg - 50 kg = 30 kg
AR = Absorption Ratio (%AR)
(Liquid in % of solids)
Local variations in the characteristics of the ingredients can inuence water absorp-
tion, volume and baking characteristics, etc.
* Scraper recommended
** Low speed operation is recommended

oVerload:
Donot overload themixer. Stickyandheavy doughs
canoverload the mixer.Overloadingis further exac-
erbated if the speed of the mixing tool is increased
beyond the recommended values or if a wrong
mixing tool is used. Large lumps of fat or cooled
ingredients must be cut into small parts before they
are placed in the bowl.
If the mixer is overloaded for an extended period, it
will cut out. An error code will show on the display.
Follow the instructions for ”Procedure in case of
overloading”
ProCedure In CaSe of oVerloadInG:
• Push emergency stop.
• Open the safety guard.
• Reduce the bowl contents.
• Close the safety guard and release the emergency
stop.
• If the error code is still shown on the display, see the

error CodeS Shown In dISPlay:
The error codes shown on the display are from the motor or the frequency transformer:
Motor error codes:
Code Error Solution
EE1 The CE switch interrupted the safety circuit when the
mixer started Check that the CE switch is closed with the bowl in the top position
EE2 The safety guard is open If the guard is opened while the tool is not rotating, the
error code will be eliminated when the guard is closed. If
the guard is opened while the tool is rotating, closing the
guard and pushing will eliminate the error code.
EE3 The bowl is not correctly positioned, so the inductive
sensor has not been activated
Check that the bowl is positioned correctly – if the bowl
ring has three “ears”, the middle ear must point in towards
the body of the mixer, otherwise the bowl must be lowered
again and turned to the correct position. (It is possible to
lower the bowl even if the error code is displayed.)
If/when the bowl is positioned correctly, push it right back
into the bowl arms, the inductive sensor will then be acti-
vated and you can lift the bowl.
If contact between the sensor and bowl is interrupted
again, the error code will appear in the display.
It is still possible to lift the bowl during the rst 5 seconds
when the error code is shown, after this the lifting move-
ment will be deactivated.
Push the bowl right back into the bowl arms again so that
contact is re-established between the bowl and sensor. The
error code will disappear and you can lift the bowl again.
EE4 The thermal sensor in the motor has overheated Reduce the quantity of ingredients in the bowl.
EE5 The overcurrent switch to the lifting motor has tripped.
Once the cause of the problem is found and the prob-
lem has been xed, reset the overcurrent switch by
pressing the blue button on the switch, see ill. The
overcurrent switch is in the electrical box
Reason: The bowl arms have reached the physical
end stop but the lifting motor has not cut out. Check that the reed contacts, located on the outer tube of the lifting motor spindle, have been activated (the
yellow diode on the contact illuminates) when the bowl
arms are at the top or bottom.
If the reed contacts do not activate, they must be replaced
Reason: The bowl has too great a quantity of ingredi-
ents. Reduce the quantity of ingredients in the bowl
EE6 The panel is not connecting with the frequency trans-
former. Check the connection.
EE7 There is a fault with the frequency transformer. Check the error log to ascertain the error code; see
page 11
