CLEANING CA-31, CA-41 AND PIPE HEADER
WARNING:
Disconnect the machine from the
mains before handing any internal components.
Handle the discs (A) and grids (B) very care-
fully because they have very sharp blades.
- Any components in contact with the food must
be cleaned immediately after use, using hot
water and a food-safe detergent. Then rinse
with plenty of hot water and disinfect using an
ethyl alcohol-soaked cloth (90 º).
To do so:
- Release the lock (H), and open the hinged lid
(I).
- In the case of the CA-41 machine, while hold-
ing the disc without touching the blades, use
the Allen key supplied with the machine to
remove the bit (P) or mixer (R), unscrewing it
anti-clockwise.
- Remove the disc (A) by rotating it clockwise
and pulling it upwards carefully. Remove the
grid (B) and ejector (C).
- In the CA-31 machine the pusher plate (L) and
hinged lid (I) can be removed for cleaning. To
do so, remove the pins (N and O).
CLEANING CA-62
WARNING:
Disconnect the machine from the
mains before handing any internal com-
ponents.
Handle the discs (A) and grids (B) very care-
fully because they have very sharp blades.
Any components in contact with the food must
be cleaned immediately after use, using hot
water and a food-safe detergent. Then rinse
with plenty of hot water and disinfect using an
ethyl alcohol-soaked cloth (90 º).
To do so:
- Remove the hopper (U). Rotate the safety pin
and pull the hopper (U) upwards.
- Release the lock (H), pull the pin (N) to remo-
ve the hinged lid (I).
- Holding the disc (A) with your hand without
touching the blades, use the key (S) supplied
with the machine to remove the mixer (R),
unscrewing it anti-clockwise.
- Remove the disc (A) by rotating it clockwise
and pulling it upwards carefully.
- Remove the grid (B) and ejector (C).
GENERAL CLEANING
-
NEVER power clean.
Use a damp cloth and
mild detergent for cleaning.
DO NOT use
abrasive detergents (nitric acid, neat
bleach, etc.)
or stainless steel scourers or
scrubbers as they could cause rusting.
- Do not wash the parts, such as the discs (A),
grids (B), hinged lid (I) and pusher plate (L), in
a dishwasher.
WARNING:
To remove food stuck in the
grids (B) you can knock them through using
an elongated potato or whole carrot in the
cutting direction. This avoids damag- ing the
grid (B). Take care with the edge of the grid
(B). Never use hard objects to hit the grid (B).
Disc (A) and grid (B) functions.
Discs (A):
- Discs (A) FC-1+ and FC-2+ to cut chips or fine
slices measuring 1-2 mm.
- Discs (A) FC-3D to FC-25+ to cut 3-25 mm
slices of potato, carrot, beetroot, cabbage,
cucum- ber, courgette, onion, radish, etc.
- Discs (A) with curved blade for soft food, FCC-
2+, FCC-3+ and FCC-5+ to cut slices of
tomato, orange, lemon, banana, apple, etc.

etables and grate cheese, bread, nuts,
almonds, etc.
- Discs FCE-2+, FCE-4+ and FCE-8+ to cut
potato “matchsticks”, carrot, celery, beetroot
strips, etc.
- Discs (A) SH-1 and SH-8 to grate bread,
cheese, chocolate, etc.
Discs (A) and grids (B). Possible
combina- tions:
- Discs (A) FC-6D, FC-8D, FC-10D
combined with grids (B), FFC-8+ and
FFC-10+, give chip-style potatoes.
- Discs (A) FC-3D, FC-6D, FC-8D, FC-10D and FC-14D
combined with grids (B) FMC-8D and FMC-
10D and FMC-14D make 3-14 mm cubed
potatoes for omelettes, vegetables and fruit for
salads and Russian salad, etc.
- Discs (A) FC-20+ and FC-25+ combined with
grids FMC-20+ and FMC-25+ give 20x20 and
25x25 cubes.
- In Sammic catalogue exist a FMC-8D and
FMC-10D grid cleaner.
Bit (P) and Mixer (R). Only CA-41
- Bit (P): It is only used when working with cabbage
and similar vegetables. Whole pieces can be cut.
- Mixer (R): It must be used with any food except
cabbage and similar vegetables.
High and normal ejector (C). Only in the CA-

MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
- Before undertaking any cleaning, inspection
or repair work on vegetable preparation
machines the machine must be unplugged
from the mains.
- NEVER insert your hand or any other utensil
through the outlets or hoppers (J and K) that
feed the machine, to avoid accidents or dam-
ages to the blades.
- Regularly check that the machine safety
devices are working. If you detect any anom-
aly, call the SAMMIC authorised technical
service.
- Regularly inspect the trailing axle seal to
ensure that this area is properly sealed. Each
time the trailing axle is released for mainte-
nance it is recommendable to fit a new seal.
- Clean the machine after every use, as
described above.
- Only a SAMMIC authorised technical service
can replace the power cable if this is dam-
aged.
- Machine noise level, while running, at a height
of 1.6 m and a distance of 1 m, less than 70
dB(A). Background noise: 32 dB(A).
BLADE SHARPENING
WARNING: Handle the discs (A) and grates
(B) very carefully because they have very
sharp blades.
The disc blades (A) can be removed easily for
sharpening. Always use soft stone to keep the
blade’s cutting angle intact.
