CHIPPER
5
This Chipper is designed for batch process work; switch the machine off once
all the potatoes have been cut. The motor is fitted with a thermal trip that will
stop the machine if the motor overheats. This protection feature will
automatically reset itself when it cools down but it is necessary to wait a few
minutes for this to happen.
The machine will switch itself off in the event of failure of the electricity supply
whilst operating. When the supply is restored the machine must again be
switched on. It is fitted with no-volt release.
CHANGE CHIP SIZES
To change to a different size of chip, change the knife block assembly. Spare
knife block assemblies are available from IMC. 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: 8mm, 11mm, 14mm and
14x17mm. Scallops can be cut with similar knife block assemblies. The
standard scallop size is 8mm.
CLEANING
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.
DO NOT use any metallic objects
, such as a
knife or screwdriver, to un-block the knife block. 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.
