Before cleaning, switch off the
machine and remove the power
supply plug or open the isolating

UNPACKING
Check that all of the parts have been
delivered, that the machine operates as
intended, and that nothing has been
damaged in transit. The machine supplier
should be notified of any shortcomings within
eight days.
INSTALLATION
Remove the cutter (H) from the bowl before
installation.
Connect the machine to an electric power
supply which is suitable for the machine.
Check that the shaft (O) rotates anti-
clockwise.
Check that the shaft stops rotating 4
seconds after the safety arm (K) has been
turned away from the centre of the lid (A).
Check that the machine does not start when
the bowl and lid have been removed but the
safety arm is over the shaft in the centre of
the machine.
If the machine does not perform correctly,
summon a specialist for remedying the fault
before taking the machine back into
operation.
ASSEMBLING
When assembling the machine, start by
moving the safety arm (K) towards the rear as
far as it will go.
Place the bowl (I) on the machine so that its
guide pin (J) drops into the slots (P) in the top
of the machine, and then turn the bowl anti-
clockwise.
Fit the cutter (H) to the shaft (O) and press it
down all the way.
Place the scraper (C) in the bowl, with its
cover (F) at ”6 o’clock”.
Place the lid (A) on the bowl so that the
arrow on the edge of the lid points towards
the scraper handle (D), and press the lid
down so that the scraper and lid engage.
Lift the safety arm, at the same time turning it
towards the centre of the lid.
DISMANTLING
Start by lifting the safety arm (K) slightly and
turning it towards the rear of the machine
until it is clear of the bowl (I). Then remove the
bowl.
Always leave the cutter (H) in place when

QUANTITIES, SIZES AND
PROCESSING TIMES
The quantities and sizes of individual pieces
that can be processed in one fill and the
processing time necessary are dependent on
the consistency of the food being processed
and on the required results.
For good, consistent results, solid foods such
as meat, cheese, etc. should first be cut into
pieces of roughly equal size and no larger
than about 4 cm
3 .
The maximum quantities that the machine can
process in one fill and the approximate
processing times are listed below.
Meat: 1.3 kg/1 min. Fish: 1.3 kg/1 min.
Flavoured butter: 1.3 kg/1 min.
Mayonnaise: 1.6 litres/1 min. Parsley: 1 litre/

When the control lever (Q) is in position ”O”,
the machine is switched off.
In position ”I”, the machine will run
continuously, and in position ”II” (VCM-42),
the machine will run continuously at high
speed.
In the ”PULSE” position, the machine will run
as long as the lever is held in this position. The
PULSE setting is used for short cycles in which
accurate results are needed.
SCRAPER
The scraper (C) is an accessory which can be
used, while the machine is running, for
returning minced meat, for instance, that has
been thrown against the walls of the bowl
back into the cutting zone.
Turn the scraper whenever you want to
scrape the walls of the bowl, or to open/
close the feed tube (B).
