Change of granule
Due to use and the presence of water and
heat, the effectiveness of the granules is
reduced. When the light indicator 3 is
switched on, the polish granules need to be
changed. The light indicator switches on
after 200 hours.
To change the granules, remove used polish
granules using a vacuum cleaner. Then pour
the amount of polish granules supplied by
Sammic into the hopper through the central
cutlery feeding hole.
To reset the warning, with the machine off
and the door open keep the stop switch
button (B) pressed down.
Change of UV-c lamp
Over time and with use the UV-c lamp
efficiency is reduced. When the light
indicator 3 blinks, it means that the UV-c
lamp needs to be changed. The light indicator
starts to blink after 1000 hours.
To reset the warning, with the machine off
and the door open keep the stop switch
button (B) pressed down.
Setting the temperature
You need to access the electronic board and
select the temperature by turning the
potentiometer. The temperature range is
printed on the board.
Performance
Machine throughput depends on the weight
of the items of cutlery and the feeding rate.
SAM-3001: 2000 to 2500 pieces / hour
SAS-5001: 3500 to 5000 pieces / hour
SAS-6001: 3500 to 5000 pieces / hour
Items of cutlery shall be fed gradually, taking
care that those previously introduced have
disappeared into the granules (from 5 to 10
pieces at a time).
Feeding rates
SAM-3001 6 pieces / every 10 seconds.
SAM-5001 14 pieces / every 10 seconds.
SAM-6001 14 pieces / every 10 seconds.
Check that the flow of items of cutlery
coming out through the outlet (B) is
homogeneous and continuous.
Sanitising
The SAMMIC cutlery polisher uses a UV-C
lamp (E) for sanitising both the cutlery and
the granules.
This lamp has been successfully tested and is
duly certified, so cutlery is sanitised.
Exposure to the radiation of this lamp is
harmful to the eyes and skin.
SAMMIC has implemented all the necessary
precautionary measures; any improper use of
the lamp is the user’s sole responsibility.
Error code
When the light indicator 4, end of drying cycle
is blinking, it means that there is a machine
failure.
·Probe error : “Quick” blinking that means
that there is no “on” and “off” cycle. Check the
probe connections or change the probe.
·Overheating error: Slow blinking. There is a
problem with the heater relay or the electronic
board.
To reset the alarm, switch off the general
switch G.
You can measure the probe heater to check
its state.
To do so, disconnect the contact switches.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Before cleaning or carrying out
maintenance of your dryer polisher, always
unplug it from the mains.
If any components need changing, contact a
SAMMIC authorised technical assistance
service. Due to the machine’s vibration, any
incorrect action could damage it.
Change of polish granules each time the
change light indicator 3 lights up.
Change of UV-c lamp each time the change
light indicator 3 blinks.
Due to use and the presence of heat, the
polish granules emit dust. You must remove
the polish granules and clean the transparent
cover, the hopper and the accessible
components once every certain period.
If the fan or the UV-c lamp are covered in
dust, they may not work properly. Call the
authorised technical assistance service to
clean and check them.
Before starting up the machine, check that it
is stands firmly on the ground.
If any component is replaced in the hopper, it
must be left in the same condition as before.
If the component, power cable, etc. assembly
instructions are not followed, the vibratory
action will damage the spare part in a short
space of time.
Note
If the power cable should get damaged, it
would be necessary to fit a new one; such a
replacement may be done only by a SAMMIC
authorised technical assistance service.
Should you observe any malfunction, contact
a SAMMIC authorised technical assistance
service as soon as possible.
Never power clean the outside of the
machine. Use a wet cloth and mild detergent
for cleaning.
Never clean the polycarbonate hopper cover
with solvents, alcohol, window-cleaning fluids
or any abrasive materials, since they may be
harmful to the mechanical properties of the
cover.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Cutlery discharge is not even
The cause might be:
1. Motor direction of rotation is incorrect. In
the case of three-phase motors, change the
polarity.
2. Cutlery jam. In this event: Stop the
machine. Lift the top cover. Check for jams in
the upward path. If any, remove the
transparent cover after loosening the fixing
knobs. Clear the obstruction. Be careful when
introducing your hands, as there may be
sharp items. Replace the cover and fix it with
the rubber washers and knobs. The
transparent cover should not be left loose,
because this would lead to an increase in
noise and a possible fatigue fracture of the
cover.
3. The amount of polish granules is less than
specified.
4. The polish granules are very dry and have
reduced in volume. This effect is similar to
when the amount of polish granules is less
than necessary. Use very wet cutlery or add a
bit of water to increase the volume.
NOTE With excessive drying, the volume and
weight decrease. This must be supervised.
-Granules or dust are coming out of the
outlet.
·Too many polish granules.
·In the case of models SAM-3001 and SAM-
6001, there is a problem with the fan.
·The machine is dirty. Remove the polish
granules and clean the machine.
·The polish granules are very wet and there
is too much volume. Stop feeding cutlery and
run a drying cycle.
Note: With the presence of water, the polish
granules increase in volume and weight. This
must be supervised.
-The dryer-polisher will not start.
The machine is plugged in and there is power
in the mains.
The top cover is closed.
The magnet on the top cover is not damaged.
There may be problems in the electronic
board.
-The dryer-polisher is vibrating excessively.
Check that the machine stands firmly on the
ground.
The wheels and legs are in good condition.
The heater light indicator 2 is lit up but the
ready machine light indicator is not switched
on. Check the polish granule temperature. If
you notice that it is not heating up, there is a
problem with the heater or the wiring.
-The UV-C Germicide lamp does not light up.
The lamp has burnt out. Change the lamp.
There is a problem in the lamp holder with
the heater or the starter unit. Change the
lamp holder.
The electronic board does not activate this
outlet.
