TRS VEGETABLE PREPERATION MACHINE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing Plates and Grids
Lift locking lever and swing back cover
Fit ejector plate, ensuring that it engages in the flats on the shaft
Locate grid if required. Note: it will only fit one way
Locate the slots in the cutter plate in the pegs on the shaft and secure by turning clockwise
The plate is correctly fitted when its centre boss is flush with the drive shaft
Return cover to its operating position and secure with the locking lever
Operation
Operate the machine using the two push buttons, black to start and red to stop
A safety switch is built into the machine to ensure that it cannot be started when the cover is raised
Before changing plates and grids always isolate the machine from the supply
A second safety device switches the motor off as the feed arm is raised
Use the correct feed hoper and use the feed arm or feed stick as appropriate to apply gentle but firm pressure
With small vegetables such as carrots, a more uniform cut is obtained by using the small hoper
Under no circumstances attempt to push the vegetables down by hand
Even when bulk feeding is could be contemplated, it is preferable to feed the machine piece by piece in order to obtain uniform slices. This is the case where tomatoes, oranges, lemons etc. are concerned. To obtain uniform potato chips individual feeding is essential
As the vegetable cutter works very rapidly it is necessary that it should be fed equally rapidly. In particular once a vegetable is placed in the hopper it must be held down with the feed arm or feedstick. If not it will be turned over every time it is hit by the cutter producing uneven cuts
When grating items it is possible to vary the size of the product by the pressure exerted. A light pressure results in a fine product, a heavy pressure a coarser product
Cleaning
Unplug the machine from the electricity supply before cleaning
Apart from the power unit base, all parts including the cover, can be removed for cleaning. The cover simply slides off its hinges.
Wash all removable parts in warm soapy water, rinse under clean running water and dry thoroughly
The body of the machine should only be wiped over with a damp cloth, never immerse the body in water or directly spray with a jet of water
