To change to a different size of chip, change the knife block assembly. Spare
knife block assemblies are available from Lincat. Open the hopper, lift out the
knife block and replace with the alternative selected. Knife blocks are available
in the following sizes from the standard range:
12mm, 14mm, 14 x 17mm and
17 x 21mm.
It is essential to clean the machine at least once a day, preferably at the end of
each period of operation.
1.
Switch off at the socket or isolator.
2. Fully unscrew the interlock knob, open the hopper and lift it out of its hinge
seating at the back.
3. Clean the hopper in a sink, dishwasher, pot wash or by hosing with a
spray.
4. Remove the knife block by lifting upwards, off its locating dowels
NOTE: Take care when handling the knife block. The blades are
sharp.
5. Clean the knife block under a spray or running tap and remove any
residual pieces of potato. Visually inspect all blades for wear or damage,
and replace the knife pack as necessary. Do not attempt to straighten a
bent blade - bent blades should be replaced immediately.
6. Lift the rotor carefully off its spindle.
7. Clean the rotor in a sink, pot wash, etc.
8. Clean out the interior of the base unit and wipe over the exterior with a
damp soft cloth. Do not hose down the exterior of the machine.
DO NOT USE CLEANING MATERIALS CONTAINING ABRASIVES OR
BLEACHES.
9. Reassemble the machine, reversing the above disassembly procedure.
When replacing the rotor, ensure that it is put back square on its spindle.
Make sure that it is properly seated on its cross pin by turning it slowly until
it drops onto this seating. When replacing the knife block it should slip
down easily on to its dowel pins, make certain that it is fully down.
The knife blades are supplied as a pack and individual blades cannot be
changed. Change the knife blade pack as soon as it is damaged or blunt. To
change the knife blade pack remove the knife block and undo the two screws
securing the knife blade pack. Dispose of the old blades carefully and screw the
new knife blade pack in place. See diagram on the next page.
