Maintenance
ADJUSTING THE MINIMUM GAP BETWEEN THE GRINDING-WHEELS
This should be done after replacing the grinding wheels.
1. Plug the appliance in and run it empty.
2. Unscrew hexagon socket screw (7) on the dial (4) using a 2-mm Allen wrench. Check that the dial (4) is
free to rotate without turning button (6).
3. Turn button (6) anticlockwise until the grinding wheels come into contact (a slight sound of friction will be
heard) then back one notch in the reverse direction.
ATTENTION This is a delicate operation, and prolonged contact between the grinding wheels
should be avoided, since this could damage them.
4. Turn the appliance off by placing switch (13) on “0”.
5. Without moving the button (6), place the dial (4) on the “FINE” position then tighten the hexagon socket
screw (7) fully home.
6. Run the machine empty to check that the grinding wheels rotate without touching each other on the finest
setting. If this is not the case, repeat the above procedure.
FAULT FINDING
In every case: If the problem persists, switch off the power supply to the machine (unplug the cord from the
mains socket) and call in the maintenance service or contact a Omcan approved dealer.
THE MACHINE WILL NOT START
• Check: the mains power supply and the condition of the power supply cord.
• Note: the switch should be lit when on the “1” position.
• Check that there are no foreign bodies stuck between the grinding wheels.
THE MACHINE STOPS BECAUSE THE MOTOR HAS OVERHEATED
• The metal casing around the motor unit is hot.
• In the event of overheating, the motor stops.
• The overheating protection system resets automatically; wait for the motor to cool (15 to 30 minutes),
before restarting the machine.
THE MACHINE STOPS BECAUSE OF AN OVERLOAD
If the motor is blocked (foreign body, something too hard), the excess current protection system (14), located
under the appliance will be triggered automatically and cut off the electrical power to the motor.
• Set the On / Off switch (13) to “0” position, disconnect the appliance.
• Correct the fault then press the excess current protection button (14).
• Press the On/Off switch (13) (position I).
If the problem persists, check the following points:
• Check that the grinding wheels do not touch each other.
• Check the state of wear of the grinding wheels (grinding too fine with worn grinding wheels can result in a
motor overload like this).
• If there are no foreign bodies preventing the appliance from working, then check and replace the motor
starter relay then the capacitor.
