Proper cleaning of the machine is one of the mostimportant preventive maintenance measures theuser can employ. The high acid content of food cancause harm to electrical parts contained within thehousing. Although these elements are isolated fromthe outside through seals vegetable juices will tend toseep. If vegetable juices are permitted to collect on themachine over periods of use, erosion of the seals canoccur.

W A R N I N GALWAYS UNPLUG YOUR MACHINE BEFORECLEANING (RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK).

MAINTENANCE

• BLADES, PLATES AND GRIDSThe blades on the slicing and julienne plates and thegrids on the grating plates are all subject to wear andshould be changed as required to ensure highquality cutting.

It is recommended that the machine be cleaned aftereach operational use, and at least once per day.The continuous feed lead, discharge plates, andcutting plates can be cleaned in a dishwasher.However, we suggest that you use a mild (non-corrosive) detergent designed for “soft metals” suchas aluminum. Dishwashers are best avoided in orderto prevent the aluminum from becoming tarnished.We recommend that you clean the attachments ina 3-pot sink system or according to local healthdepartment regulations.Dishwashers are best avoided in order to preventthe aluminium from becoming tarnished. Instead werecommend that you clean the machine by hand usingwashing-up liquid.If you do put your machine in a dishwasher, wesuggest that you use a detergent designed speciallyfor aluminium.Never immerse the motor base in water. Clean itwith a damp cloth or sponge.

SAFETY

I M P O R T A N TCheck that your detergent is suitable forcleaning plastic parts. Some washing agentsare too alkaline (e.g. high levels of caustic sodaor ammonia) and totally incompatible withcer tain types of plastic, causing them todeteriorate rapidly.

W A R N I N G

W A R N I N G

The discs are extremely sharp. Handle with care.

1) The CL 55 is equipped with a safety system thatturns the machine off when the pusher (on the pusherfeed lead) is turned out away from the opening. Themachine will start again, once the pusher is swungback into place over the feed opening.

2) The CL 55 is fitted with a temperature fuse thatautomatically stops the motor if the machine is lefton for too long or overloaded.If this happens, allow the machine to cool completelybefore restarting. If the machine has become jammedpress the off button and UNPLUG the machinefrom the wall outlet. Remove the feed lead and Clearthe jam (wear cut-resistant gloves). And restart byfirst pressing the reset button located on the bottom ofthe motor base, then closing the lead/attachment andpressing the on button.The hinge pin must be fitted in its position at the backof the motor unit before the machine is switched on.

Do not open the feed head / attachment untilthe motor has come to a complete stop.Never tamper with the locking or safetysystems or defeat their purpose.Never place anything other than foodproducts into the entry port.Never put anything into the exit port.Always use the food pushers to force the foodthrough the entry ports.Do not overload the machine or apply excesspressure with the food pushers.
