warm water with a bit of washing-up liquid. The said parts are made of stainless steel; to clean them you
can also use a small amount of a preparation intended specially for stainless dishes (pots, cutlery etc). Be
careful when handling the parts; in particular, the airscrew and blade have sharp edges. After washing the
parts, rinse them properly with clean water and dry them up. Finally polish them with a dry cloth.
Wipe the fl ap – tongue of the crusher (position 5). Do not use pressure water to clean the fl ap or the lower
part to prevent water from leaking into the motor. Clean the parts ONLY with a slightly moistened cloth
with a minimal amount of washing-up liquid. Then remove the preparation properly by repeatedly wiping
the product with a moist cloth, wipe it dry and polish it with a dry cloth.
Wash the vessel for crushed fruit (position 4) separately with warm water with a bit of washing-up liquid.
After washing, rinse it well with clean water and dry it up.
Put the bearing plate back on and tighten the centre airscrew well. During assembly and disassembly use
the attached detailed drawing of the crusher for easier identifi cation of the parts and their correct location.
9.3 Replacing the cutting blade
After dismantling the upper part of the crusher unscrew the centre airscrew of the shaft of the electric
motor and take the cutting disc off the shaft (point 8.2, see the description above). When loosening the
screw it is necessary to secure the disc against rotation. Loosen and unscrew the two countersunk screws
by which the blade is attached to the disc. Take out the blade. After the fi rst replacement it is possible to
turn the blade by 180° and make use of its other sharpened side.
Notice:
Do not grind the blades! Use solely new blades. Grinding the blades changes their weight and
the cutting disc becomes imbalanced. Great imbalance causes vibrations of the entire crusher
and excessive loading of the bearings of the electric motor.
Replacement blades can be purchased directly from the manufacturer, VARES Mnichovice a. s., www.vares.cz.
When mounting a blade into the body of the cutting disc clean carefully all the seating surfaces both on
the blade and on the disc. Always use new nuts. Nuts are self-locking, after being loosened they lose their
effi ciency.
10 Troubleshooting
When trying to fi nd the cause of a failure or fault it is necessary to realise that not all failures in the activity
of the machine must be due to a fault in the machine itself. Some failures may be caused by failures in the
electric mains.
Caution!
All activities associated with repairing the electrical equipment may only be carried
out by workers possessing appropriate electrotechnical qualifi cations within the
meaning of the Czech Occupational Safety Offi ce and Czech Mining Authority
Decree No. 50/1978 Coll. and acquainted with the equipment to the necessary
extent!
Caution!
All activities associated with troubleshooting may only be performed after the
electric drive of the machine has been turned off and an off-state of the electrical
equipment has been ensured by pulling the plug of the fl exible cord from the
mains socket.
