Caution -READ BEFORE OPERATING- Caution
Varimixer recommends that mixer operators must be at least 18 years of age and be thoroughly
trained on the use, cleaning and lubrication of the mixer.
This manual should be seen as an integral part of the mixer and should be kept by the machine
throughout its working life.
Before the machine is commissioned, it is important to read these instructions thoroughly.
The manufacturer may update the product manual without updating this copy of the manual.
Varimixer recommends that the following precautions be adopted to help make the mixer operation
safer and more efficient.
- All operators must be at least 18 years of age.
- All operators must be thoroughly trained before being allowed to operate the mixer.
- NEVER reach into the bowl when the mixer is running.
- Do not wear loose clothing or rings while operating the mixer.
- Stop the mixer and lower the bowl before adding ingredients, scraping the bowl, removing
the agitator, or removing the product.
- Stop the mixer before removing or installing attachments into the drive hub.
- Do not attempt to assemble or disassemble attachments while mounted into the drive hub.
- Always use the pusher plate with the slicer/meat grinder attachments.
- NEVER bypass the safety mechanisms supplied on the mixer. Doing so can cause injury
and is the responsibility of the user to ensure these safety mechanisms are operating prop-
erly.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE THE SPEED LEVER, BOWL LIFT LEVER, OR THE BOWL
ARMS TO BE USED TO MOVE THE MIXER INTO PLACE. DAMAGE WILL RESULT TO THE UNIT.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE TOP LID BE REMOVED BEFORE MOVING THE UNIT.
The mixer must be mounted with the rubber feet, which neutralize both shaking and rusting.
Spacers can be inserted under the mixer’s feet if the floor is uneven. The mixer can be bolted to the
floor if desired.
Before the mixer is connected to power, it should be checked that the voltage and frequency on the
rating plate is correct in relation to the place of installation. The rating plate is located on the rear
right side of the mixer. The electrical connection box is located at the top rear of the mixer.
WARNING
Electrical and grounding connections must comply with applicable portions of the National Electrical
Code and/or other local electrical codes.

A) Place the tool in the bowl. Open the bowl screen
B) Note: the bowl arms must be in the lowest position.
Place the bowl in the bowl arms. Check that the bowl
is pushed right back into the arms and that the “Third
ear” of the bowl is facing the mixer (g. 3). Place the
mixer tool in the bayonet shaft. The tap of the tool must
be turned right into the bayonet hole. Close the bowl
screen.
C) The bowl is raised to working position by a clockwise
turn of the button for bowl lift - the JOG-button must be
pushed and kept pushed until the bowl is entirely up.
Ensure that the bowl is placed correctly. On the timer
set the mixing time required by turning the timer (g
1) clockwise. The mixer will stop automatically, when
the time runs out. When the mixer has timed out, the
"procedure for starting after emergency stop" is used
before the mixer is re-started.
D) Start the mixer by pressing the green start button
(fig.1)
The mixer will only start when the bowl is in the "up"
position, the bowl screen is "closed", and the timer is
set to "time" or "hold".
E) Turn the speed selector lever (fig. 4) to the rear until
the required speed has been obtained, (notice the
recommended maximum speeds on page 7).
F) Before the mixer is stopped, the speed selector lever
must be moved back to lowest speed (fig.4).
G) Stop the mixer by pressing the red stop button (fig.1)

1) This procedure must be used in cases where the mixer
has been interrupted in high speed.
2) Lower the bowl and remove the tool from the bayonet.
3) Close the bowl screen.
Raise the bowl arms, either empty or with the bowl.
4) Start the mixer and move the speed selector lever
back to lowest speed. Switch off the mixer. Now the
mixer can be started as usual.
JOG”- function:
The mixer is provided with a “JOG” button located
underneath the operating panel. The button must be
activated simultaneously with key for bowl lift when the
bowl is lifted
Before the bowl reaches its top position, the tool starts
rotating to dig its way into the ingredients.

Do not overload the mixer. Sticky and heavy
doughs can overload the mixer. Overloading is fur-
ther exacerbated 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.

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, alter-
natively use the beater and the whip.
NOTE: Speed should never exceed 150 RPM when
using the dough hook. Our dough hook is designed to
give you optimum product on low speed.

The mixer should be unplugged before cleaning
to prevent accidental starting while cleaning.
The mixer should be cleaned daily or after use.
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 aluminium should not be used to strong-
ly acidic, highly alkaline or highly salty foodstu󰀨s,
which may attack aluminium without coating.
Tools of aluminium must not be washed with strong
alkaline detergents
(pH between 5 and 8).
The soap suppliers can recommend the correct type of
soap.
The inside of the bayonet shaft should be cleaned
once a day with warm, soapy water.
Dough hook Cleaning: Special care should be
given to cleaning the dough hook. We recommend that
it be cleaned and sanitized in a commercial dish ma-
chine. An alternate cleaning procedure is to vigorously
scrub the hook with a hot water and detergent solution.
Use a heavy bristled brush. After cleaning, sanitize
the hook by rinsing it with a 50 ppm solution of sodium
hypochlorite.

OBS. Special grease !!(Use the grease gun delivered together with the mixer). Start the mixer and increase the speed
to approx. 50%. Stop the mixer and disconnect the power cable. Open the lid on the top of the mixer. On the top of each
of the two pulley set shafts is a grease nipple . Press grease through the grease nipple until the grease gun feels
hard to press or until grease comes out between the shaft and the pulleys.
The mixer must not be started until the lid is closed and the screws which hold the lid are inserted.
Start the mixer, and set the speed back to low speed.
Stop the mixer and ll the grease gun with new grease so that it is ready for next time.

In the rear part of the bowl arms  a shaft with an eccentric stud  has been mounted, on which the ball bearing is
mounted. By turning the eccentric stud, the bowl arms can be opened and closed so that the clamping and the center-
ing of the bowl can be adjusted. It has to be observed that the shaft is mounted in the bowl arm with a thread so that
when the eccentric stud is turned, the whole shaft is turned out and in into the bowl arms. When exchanging the whole
shaft, the right starting point for the adjustment must be found rst. The ball bearing  must be in the middle of the
guide plate (M) so that the width of the entire ball bearing is tting tightly against the guide plate, and at the same time
it has to be observed that the eccentric stud cannot hit the back plate when the adjustment has been nished.
In order to counteract that the eccentric shaft turns loose by itself when the mixer is working, the eccentric shaft must
be self-tightening. In order to obtain this e󰀨ect, the below drawings must be followed, on which the adjusting area for
the left and the right bowl arm, resp. is shown.
First nd the bowl centering, e.g. by mounting bowl and beater in the mixer, and turn the beater round with your hand,
and measure the distance from the beater to the edge of the bowl.
• When adjusting the clamping and centering of the bowl,
the bowl arms must be raised into working position. When
exchanging the shaft with eccentric stud (K) the bowl arms
must be lowered.
• First open the lock plate (N).
• Loosen the shaft counter nut (P), use span 46.
• Screw an M8 bolt with counter nut (R) into both the ec-
centric studs (K), and tighten the counter nuts. If the shaft
with the eccentric stud has stuck in the bowl arm, it can be
loosened with a key with the span 36.
• By turning the eccentric studs the clamping and the center-
ing of the bowl can be adjusted.
• Remember to use the right adjusting area for right and left
bowl arm. The drawings show the adjusting area for
