speedcontrol knob. If the product is quite wet and tends to be sticky, it is best to dry the surface in any case, by
switching on the fan. The product may be collected on the frame supplied, leaning on retractable rods supplied
with the machine.
For machines fitted with an extrusion sleeve cooling unit, switch on the system taking account of a few
operating parameters of the dough and room temperature. At any rate, with average dough, after 3 - 5 minutes,
check the external temperature of the ring nut and if it seems too high, gradually open the regulating valve.
Frequently check the temperature and regulate water flow, tending to keep temperature constant.
NOTE: If the product is kneaded at an excessive temperature, it tends to change colour and/or blanch
slightly.
AFTER THE OPERATION:
•
Stop the machine by switching the selector as well as the others to the “0” position.
•
Rotate the cutting group to the stop position.
•
Turn the selector to the knead position for 10-15 seconds in order to eliminate the pressure on the die
caused by the product.
•
Return the switch to “0”.
• Disassemble and wash the movable parts and clean the machine (see CLEANING).
• Close the water tap, for machines fitted with a cooled extrusion sleeve.
CLEANING
Warning: For healthy and hygienic processing of food products, be sure to keep your machine and the
surrounding environment clean.
DANGER: Always cut off the power supply before cleaning.
You have to properly clean all the elements which are in contact with the product protection lid, pool, mixer,
Archimedean screw, drawplate, filter, ring nut and knife, when the product is still soft. The moving parts have to
be disassembled as follows:
• Mixer: make sure the external shovel is in the upper vertical position (only this position allows the
disassembling of the piece). Disassemble the mixer by unscrewing the external movable support until
releasing the mixer; unthread the shaft from its place and at the same time, rotate the external pin towards
the top. If you want to assemble the piece follow these instructions vice versa. Line the central point of the
shaft with the peg of the moving support; thereafter, screw the support, but without blocking it.
• Metal ring, drawplate and filter: unscrew the metal ring with the appropriate wrench being careful not to let
any pieces fall, since the metal ring is moved from its place, the product and parts still weigh a few kilos
and can easily slip from your hands, causing damage both to people or to the pieces themselves.
• Archimedean screw: after disassembling the ring nut, the drawplate and the filter, the Archimedean screw
