CHAP 5 - USING THE MACHINE
5.1 - FITTING THE DISCS
A. Choose a slicing, grating or julienne disc. After raising the aluminium
cover, fit the expulsion arm on the spindle (Fig No 22), then fit the disc on
top and twist clockwise to lock into position. Replace the cover and lock it
into place.
B FOR DICING
Choose the pair of discs AWXVP30010 and AWXVP10010 or AWXVP30014
and AWXVP10010. Insert the dicing disc first, with the indent facing right, with
the machine in front of you. Then fit the slicing disc on top. (see Fig. No 23).
N.B.: THE EXPULSION ARM SHOULD NOT BE FITTED WITH THE PAIR
OF DICING/SLICING DISCS.

1.2.2 - MANUFACTURING CHARACTERISTICS (Materials used)
The Vegetable Preparation Machine is manufactured using materials which are
highly resistant to mechanical wear, structural shocks and the corrosive agents
normally present in washing products.
In particular:
• The upper body, cover and base are made of anodised aluminium. This
guarantees contact with food will be hygienic and that there will be a high
resistance to acids, salts and rusting.
• The main body casing, pusher lever, collecting bowl and spindle are made of
AISI 304 and 430 grade stainless steel.
• The small pusher, large pusher handle, control panel case are made of highly
resistant plastic, suitable for contact with foods.
• The discs for cutting the food have an aluminium carrier and the blades are
made of AISI 420 grade stainless steel. These are NOT dishwasher safe.
1.3 - SAFETY MEASURES
1.3.1 - GENERAL SAFETY MEASURES
The Vegetable Preparation Machine described in this manual conforms to the
following European Directives, with regard to mechanical, electrical and hygiene
safety:
