WARNING!
•
These instructions apply only to 3-phase machines with dual-voltage 400/380V or 230/220V motors and
must be carried out by a qualified electrician!
•
NEVER turn the machine on without the tray in place.
•
The tray and the insulating plate must only be removed by an authorized service technician and only in
order to make adjustments or to perform maintenance.
• READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY BEFORE OPERATING THE MINCER/GRINDER!
•
This machine is not designed for constant, uninterrupted use, but rather to run intermittently to allow
dissipation of the heat generated. The amount of heat produced will depend on the consistency of the
meat, the hole diameters of the plates and the number of plates used.
•
DO NOT use this mincer/grinder to dice or mince vegetables, dried fruit, or any other non-meat food. Use
only meat products suitable for grinding/mincing. Omcan shall not be responsible for any improper use or
misuse of the machine, and such use or misuse shall be at the sole risk and liability of the user.
1. Remove the worm and cutting set in order to test the machine before using it with food. Follow the steps
outlined in
DISMANTLING/ASSEMBLING THE CUTTING SET AND WORM
to remove the worm and
cutting elements. The worm and cutting set must NEVER be put in operation without food in the machine.
2.
Power on the mincer/grinder by plugging it to an electrical outlet and turning the main switch to the I-START
position. If the machine has a three-phase motor, verify that the shaft turns in a counterclockwise direction
when viewed from the front. If this is not the case, immediately turn off the machine and have a qualified
electrician swap two of the phases at the power cord’s plug.
3.
While the mincer/grinder is unplugged, carefully wash the tray (including the feed shaft), the throat,
the worm, the cutting set and the plate-holding nut by following the instructions in
CLEANING
. When
reassembling the mincer/grinder after cleaning, firmly secure the throat to the cabinet by tightening the
throat locking knobs. Furthermore, make sure that the worm, the knives and the plates are installed
correctly. NEVER over tighten the plate holding nut, as this will only create excessive friction which could
overheat the cutting set.
4. Before operating the machine, lubricate the edge of both the plate and the knife with animal fat or
vegetable oil.
5.
Plug the machine to an electrical outlet.
6.
Put the meat into the mincer/grinder using the Omcan feed stomper provided. DO NOT place or balance
meat containers on the machine itself.
7. Turn the main switch to the I-START position to begin grinding. If the worm should become jammed or
stuck:
