Important: Clean and dry the cutting set thoroughly after every use and protect them with edible oil to
avoid corrosion. Never store humid and remove all corrosive substances (i.e. chlorine).
STAINLESS STEEL CARE
Important: Never use aggressive cleaners with stainless steel such as bleach or similar chlorine
derivatives products. If you have used it, never leave acting, rinse immediately with plenty of water and
dry thoroughly.
It is uncommon, but possible, that small traces of rust or oxidation points may be observed on the machine.
This may be due to:
•
Welding impurities.
•
Food fragments adhering to the surface.
• Pits resulting from use of aggressive cleaners such as bleach or similar chlorine derivatives products.
•
Moisture after cleaning with water. Always wipe dry all components that have been cleaned.
To remove these rust spots simply use a liquid stripper with a cloth, or clean with Scotch Brite.
MAINTENANCE
Except for cleaning before and after each use, your Omcan mincer/grinder does not require any special
maintenance. The operator, however, must routinely inspect those machine components that are subject
to wear, especially the plates and knives. Under normal conditions, it is unnecessary to change the oil in
the gear reducer. Should an oil change become necessary, we recommend the use of Natosbin B1600EP,
manufactured by Klüber Lubrication. The capacity of the gear reducer is 1 kg (1.5 kg in W130 model).
WARNING!
• All electrical and mechanical repairs MUST be carried out by a qualified electrician or licensed technician.
•
If you detect that the reducer is leaking oil, promptly notify the service department of the dealer from whom
you purchased the machine.
•
If the power cord becomes damaged, immediately replace it with a cord of identical technical
characteristics; your local distributor can supply you with one.
