Adjusting the plate dispensing tube
WARNING
Risk of hot surfaces
The internal surfaces of the heated appliances can become hot during opera-
tion and only cool down slowly in the air.
To adjust the guide basket, allow the appliance to cool down sufficiently with
the cover removed.
ATTENTION
Exposed springs
When pressing down the guide basket manually, the springs are exposed.
Reaching into the gaps of the exposed springs may cause hand injuries.
Never press the guide basket down manually.
Be careful when hooking and unhooking the springs. When adjusting springs
on sharp edges, pay particular attention to the ends of the tension springs.
The adjustments should only be carried out on the appliances which are switched off, disconnected from the
power supply and cooled down (room temperature).
Before starting work, always check it the plate dispensing tube of the food transport trolley is correctly set for
the crockery to be used.
The following functions are to be checked separately:
§
The vertical guide of the plates, in order to prevent any risk of injury to the operating staff if the crock-
ery guides are set too far apart or too close together.
§
The dispensing height, so that the staff cannot suffer injury or become trapped and no breakage of
crockery can occur.
Basically, the appliance must be adjusted if at least one of the following crockery parameters alters:
§
Diameter
§
Height
§
Stack height
§
Weight.
5.2.1
Crockery guide adjustment
Before loading, the crockery guides must be adjusted to the diameter of the crockery items and fixed in the
locking positions provided.
If the crockery guides are set too far apart from each other, the crockery stack can become wedged under
the upper plate due to the possible high tilt angles, and can injure the operating staff when released.
If the crockery guides are set too close, the plates can become jammed and can injure people when re-
leased suddenly.
Too small crockery items cannot be guided properly and, therefore, should not be used.
