Operation
z
In Photo 2 on page 10 shows the normal operator position; the position
should be occupied only for brief moments.
1) Feed into the tank ref. 2 Photo 1 on page 8 all ingredients to be kneaded,
without exceeding the total mass specified in Table 2 on page 11.
For this purpose, since the specific weight of flour is much less than water, the
capacity of the tank was designed on the basis of a water/flour ratio of 0.55,
loading the flour first, then the water (causing the flour to gain in density and
lose volume).
2) Switch the main switch ref. 8 Photo 1 to position 1; the warning light ref. 5
Fig. 1 on page 8 will come on;
3) Lower the accident-prevention guard ref. 3 Photo 1 if raised, since in the
raised position the machine will not start).
4) Set timers ref. 7 and 8 Fig. 1 to required kneading times for slow and quick
blending.
5) Press the pushbutton ref. 1 Fig. 1 for low speed start-up leaving the tool
enough time to "bind" the ingredients.
6) At the same time, switch the switch ref. 4 Fig. 1 to the right-hand position
to rotate the tank clockwise, or to the left-hand position to rotate the tank
anticlockwise; the movement can be inverted or stopped (switch position 0)
at any time.
After the set time ref. 7 Fig. 1, the machine will automartically switch to the
fast cycle, for the set time ref. 8 Fig. 1.
Caution!
At the beginning of kneading operations, before the flour has absor-
bed much water and is still in the form of a powder, it is sensible prac-
tice to use the kneading tool at slow speed for 2 minutes to prevent
flour becoming air-borne and getting into the lungs, which, after len-
gthy periods of exposure, is dangerous for the health.
