General:
In case of complaints, please contact your dealer.
The guarantee does not cover faults resulting from faulty
operation, overloading and lacking observance of directions
of maintenance.
It should be checked that all loose parts are delivered with the
mixer such as bowl, tools, and rubber feet.
Safety:
The constant noise level of the workplace of the operator is
lower then 70 dB (A).
In all cases where the parts of the mixer are moving and the
bowl screen is not closed, it takes two hands to operate the
mixer.
The mixer is designed for manufacture of products which
do not during processing cause reactions or emit sub-
stances which may be detrimental to the user.
Putting your ngers in the bowl while the mixer is
running may cause injuries.
InStallatIon of new mIxer:
Installation and securing:
The mixer must be tted with rubber feet, which neutralize
shaking. Spacers can be inserted under the mixer’s feet, if
the oor is not completely even.
Connection to power:
Before the mixer is connected to power, it should be checked
that the voltage and frequency printed on the machine label
is correct in relation to the place of installation. The machine
label is placed at the top right side of the mixer.
Note: to be installed by a qualied electrician.
Of functional and safety reasons, the
machine must be connected to earth!
ContentS:
The mixer must be bolted
securely to the oor.

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 12.
The bowl arms can move
a little in case of maximum
loading.
Bowl screen –
removable.
The screen must be
closed before the tool
can rotate.
The bowl can be raised
with the screen open,
but it will stop where the
tool normally starts to
rotate. The screen 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 7 for an explana-
tion of the panel.
Emergency
stop
Magnetic sensor, which
is activated by the screen
when the screen 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”.
Whips should 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, alterna-
tively use the beater and the whip.
maIntenanCe and lubrICatIon:
See lubrication overview on page 22.
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 wa-
ter. 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 between
5 and 8

Program number 12 in this example
• Start by pressing .
• Run the whole recipe, including pauses, changes of speed
and automatic lowering of the bowl.
• Press to stop the mixer.
• Keep depressed; the display shows .
• Continue pressing and press and as well,
is shown on the display
• Release and the program will be stored as number
