shaft stops rotating within 4 seconds after the
safety arm is turned away from the centre of
the lid. Test this at maximum speed.
That the machine cannot be started with
the bowl, knife and lid removed and with the
safety lever over the shaft in the centre of the
machine.

USERS

bakeries, retirement homes, schools, fast food
outlets, catering, day care centers, salad bars,
pizzerias, ships, central kitchens, institution
kitchens, etc.
CAPACITY
The amount and size of the pieces that can
be processed at one time, and the length of
time the processing takes, depend on the
consistency of the foods and on the result
desired.
For a good and even result with firm foods such
as meat, cheese, they should first be separated
into pieces of roughly equal size and no larger
than about 4x4x4 cm.
The maximum recommended quantities that
the machine should process at one time are
as follows:
• Meat: 2 kg
• Fish: 2 kg
• Aromatic butter: 2 kg
• Soup, sauce, dressing, etc.: 4.5 kg
• Parsley: 1.5 litre
THE SCRAPER
Always have the scraper fitted during all types
of processing since the four scraper blades
slow down the rotation of the food in the bowl
and guide the food toward the centre/cutting
zone of the bowl.
By turning the handle of the scraper back and
forth, the lid and walls of the bowl can easily
be scraped and the food returned to the cutting
zone while the machine is operating.
ASSEMBLING
Place the bowl on the machine base so that
one of the two guide pins on the bowl drops into
the slot on the top/front of the machine base.
Fit the knife to the shaft and press it down all
the way. Note! The knife must not be fitted
during the safety check but only during actual
processing.
Place the sealing ring into the groove on the
inside of the lid.
Fit the plug correctly into the feed hole of the
lid, making sure that the plug does not stick
out on the underside of the lid.
Grip the centre of the scraper ring with the
left hand and the feeder tube on the lid with
the right hand while placing the lid on the
scraper ring.
Grip the scraper handle with the right hand and
push the centre of the scraper handle down into
the centre of the lid as far as it will go.
Press together the scraper ring and scraper
handle while turning the scraper handle
clockwise as far as it will go and the parts are
fitted together.
Place the lid/scraper on the bowl so that the
handle of the lid is directly above the handle
of the bowl.
Turn the safety arm so that it is above the
centre of the lid.
DISMANTLING
Swing the safety arm back as far as it will go.
Remove the lid/scraper and turn the scraper
handle so that it covers the feed tube on the lid.
Press together the scraper handle and scraper
ring and at the same time rotate the scraper
handle anti-clockwise as far as it will go and
separate the parts.
Remove the knife/cutter and bowl.
USING THE SPEED CONTROL
With the control knob in the “O” position the
machine is switched off. In the “I” position the
machine runs continuously at low speed and
in the “II” position (VCB-62 only) continuously
at high speed. In the “P” position (pulse), the
machine runs at low speed while the knob is
held in this position.
The speed that should be used depends on
the type of food to be processed, its quality,
and the desired result.
