PROCESSING PRODUCT
Before processing product, please review the application chart on Page 3, and please note that the feed plate [Figure 1(2)] is equipped with
an adjusting nut and screw [Figure 1(6-7)]. This assembly should be adjusted until there is no chance of the feed plate being compressed
against cutting surfaces. If the feed plate meets a rotating cutting surface, both components will be damaged.
TO PROCESS:
Reconnect the electrical supply to the power source equipment, turn the power source equipment on, and where possible adjust the speed of
the power source equipment to a medium setting.
Lift the feed plate to expose the plate unit, and drop product into the feed hopper. Keep hands clear. With your hand holding the feed plate
grip, gently compress product against the rotating plate unit. Adjust the speed of the power source equipment - where possible - up or down
until you get the best results.
If you experience problems in processing, shut down the power source equipment and refer to the Trouble Shooting Guide on Page 9, and
the safety precautions paragraph.
DISMOUNTING AND DISASSEMBLY
FOR CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
DISMOUNTING
To dismount the VS9, simply follow the mounting instructions on Page 6 in reverse order. Set the VS9 on a stable working surface.
DISASSEMBLY
To disassemble the VS9 for cleaning or maintenance:
Unlatch the front housing and swing it toward you.
Lift the feed plate up and urge it to the left until it pivots off the front housing and set it aside.
Lift the front housing from its pivot holes and set it aside.
To disassemble the plate units, follow the assembly instructions on Pages 4-6 in reverse order. Set the components aside.
CLEANING
To avoid damaging the VS9's highly polished finish, never put any VS9 component through a dishwashing machine. Wearing hand protection,
wash all components by hand with a mild soap and water solution. Use a long handled scrub brush on all plate units to avoid finger cuts.
Again, do not rest knives, grater plates, or shredding plates on any surface which will mar. Do not remove thrust bearings from Julienne or
Shredder plate shafts. Dry component parts with a soft dry rag.
For the best and most sanitary product, clean the VS9 immediately after use of before switching food products.
