tus of the vegetable preparation machine when
starting at slow speed.
- It switches off when the motor is stopped, the
hinged lid (I) is closed and the pusher plate (L)
is down.
- It switches on when the motor is on, the hinged
lid (I) is closed and the pusher plate (L) is down
- In the CA-301 and CA-401 with the hinged lid (I)
closed and the pusher plate (L) up it flashes slowly.
- It flashes quickly when the hinged lid (I) is
open in conjunction with the “Speed 2”pilot
light (6).
See Fig. 1.
“Speed 2”pilot light (6). Only in 2-speed
models.
This pilot light provides information on the sta-
tus of the vegetable preparation machine when
starting at fast speed.
- It switches off when the motor is stopped, the
hinged lid (I) is closed and the pusher plate (L)
is down.
- It switches on when the motor is on, the hinged
lid (I) is closed and the pusher plate (L) is down
- In the CA-301 and CA-401 with the hinged lid
(I) closed and the pusher plate (L) up it flash-
es slowly.
- It flashes quickly when the hinged lid (I) is open in
conjunction with the “Speed 2”pilot light (6).
PLS. NOTE: In the CA-601 there is no pusher
plate and its place in the operation is taken
by the hopper (U).
PLS. NOTE: Some vegetable preparation
machines have an emergency stop button.
This must be unlocked before starting the
machine.
START-UP CA-301 Y CA-401
- In the CA-301 and CA-401 the hinged lid (I)
must be positioned as indicated in the illustra-
tions, being fixed with the pin (N).
- In the CA-301 the pusher plate (L) must be
positioned as indicated in the illustrations,
being fixed with the pin (O).
- In the CA-301and CA-401 if the header is to
be used it must be positioned as indicated in
the illustrations, being fixed with the pin (N).
WARNING:
Before using the machine for the
first time, clean the area in contact with
food, the discs (A), the grids (B) and the
ejector (C) with (lukewarm) soapy water,
rinse and leave to dry.
Handle the discs (A) and grids (B) very care-
fully because they have very sharp blades.
Fitting discs (A) and grids (B).
- Release the lock (H), and open the hinged lid (I).
- Fit the ejector (C) in its housing on the trailing
axle.
- The grid (B) is inserted in the top lid (E) pock-
et at the right time during the process.
- Fit a disc (A) on the trailing axle. Insert the
disc (A) in the axle and rotate it clockwise until
it slots into place.
- In the case of the CA-401machine, screw the bit
(P) or mixer (R) into the trailing axle depending
on the product being chopped.
- Lower the hinged lid (I) and apply the lock (H).
Operation with standard hopper (J) and
pusher plate (L) in CA-301.
- The mallet (K) must be housed and locked. To
do so, rotate it anti-clockwise.
- Start the vegetable preparation machine.
- Lift the pusher plate (L). The motor stops.
- Add the products to the standard hopper (J).
- When you start to lower the pusher plate (L)
the motor starts and the cutting process
begins. Feed the product while gently lowering
the pusher plate (L). Repeat the process sev-
eral times.
- Press “Stop” (4) to finish.
WARNING:
Applying too much force on the
pusher plate (L) could damage the product
and strain the motor.
Operation with standard feed hopper (J) and
pusher plate (L) in CA-401.
- The mallet (K) must be housed and locked. To
do so, rotate it anti-clockwise.
- Start the vegetable preparation machine.
- Lift the pusher plate (L) and rotate it anti-clock-
wise to clear the standard hopper (J) feed
chute. The pusher plate (L) can be left resting
on the pusher support (M). The motor stops.
- Add the products to the standard hopper (J).
- When the pusher plate (L) is rotated clockwise
the motor starts and the cutting process
begins. Feed the product while gently lowering
the pusher plate (L). Repeat the process sev-
eral times.
- Press “Stop” (4) to finish.
WARNING:
Applying too much force on the
pusher plate (L) could damage the product
and strain the motor.
Operation with cylinder hopper (K) (CA-301
and CA-401).
This Ø55mm hopper is used to cut long, cylin-
der-shaped vegetables, such as carrot, chicory,
cucumber, etc.
- Start the vegetable preparation machine.
- Unlock the mallet (K) by rotating it clockwise.
- Feed the vegetables through the hole and
push them gently using the mallet (K). Repeat
the process several times.
- Press “Stop” (4) to finish.
IMPORTANT:
When the cylinder hopper is
not in use, leave the mallet (K) inside the
hopper.
START-UP OF CA-601
WARNING:
Before using the machine for the
first time, clean the area in contact with
food, the discs (A), the grids (B) and the
ejector (C) with (lukewarm) soapy water,
rinse and leave to dry.
Handle the discs (A) and grids (B) very care-
fully because they have very sharp blades.
Fitting discs (A) and grids (B).
- Fit the ejector (C) in its housing at the trailing
edge.
- The grid (B) is inserted in the bottom lid (E)
pocket at the right time during the process.
- Fit a disc (A) on the trailing axle. Insert the
disc (A) in the axle and rotate it clockwise until
it slots into place.
- Screw on the mixer axle (R):
- Fit the hinged lid (I) as indicated in the dia-
grams. Secure it with the pin (N) and block it
with the lock (H).
- Place the hopper (U) as indicated in the dia-
grams. The three hooks of the hopper (U)
must be inserted in the three spaces in the
neck of the hinged lid (I). Also insert the gui-
ding axle of the hopper (U) in its housing, loca-
ted on the hinged lid (I) and block it by rotating
the safety pin.
Operation of the CA-601.
NOTE: The holes in the hopper are Ø75 mm,
therefore insert products (potatos) smaller
