When the pipework is complete proceed with adjustments designed to give correct water
regulation to the machine. Two adjusting screws and lock nuts are provided for this purpose.
The top one controls the flow through the peeler, the lower controls the jet to the waste pipe.
Slacken off the lock nuts and turn water supply full on. Adjust the top screw until the flow
through the machine is between 2.25 and 7 litres per minute, then tighten the lock nut. Set the
lower screw to allow a healthy jet of water into the waste pipe of 2.25 to 3.5 litres per minute.
Judge the flow by inspecting the jet through the air break. Tighten the lock nut.

1
Measure the potatoes into a container which holds a known measured weight and take
out any stones which could jam the machine or damage the abrasive. Should this
happen, the noise will indicate the presence of a stone; switch off immediately and
remove it.
2
Turn on the water before loading the potatoes. Set timer to required run length and press
'start'. A prolonged operation cuts into the potato body and induces foaming in the waste
pipe. Remember that firm potatoes peel faster than soft ones.
3
On completion of the cycle, switch off the water supply, restart the machine and open the
chute door. This will discharge the potatoes. ON NO ACCOUNT

Keep the finished potatoes under water until required for cooking.
A new machine will give a peeling cycle of 3/4 minute. This lengthens to about 1 minute after
the initial period of the machine’s life. Remaining constant for a considerable period the peeling
cycle will eventually become more and more prolonged. This signals wear in the abrasive
which should then be replaced.
The machine will initially provide a finished potato with a surface somewhat rougher than you
may wish. This brief disadvantage however, enables a longer life of the abrasive to be
ultimately achieved.
