Malfunctions And Eliminating Malfunctions - IKA A 11 basic Mode D'emploi

grinding material at nominal speed. Depending on the grinding
material, it may be necessary to repeat this procedure serval
times. If the speed remains relatively constant while the pulver-
ization tool is being lowered and raised back up, the grinding pro-
cedure is complete.
The grinding time should not exceed 30 seconds. Further grinding
will not improve the pulverization of the grinding material, but hea-
ting up will increase considerably.
The appliance is designed for short-time operation. Maximum on-
time 1 min, minimum off-time 10 mins. Increasing the on-time or
reducing the off-time can cause the motor to overheat premature-
ly, which will in turn cause the appliance to switch off (see Faults
and Troubleshooting). The appliance is fused to protect it in the
case of over-use.
Before the grinding procedure is complete, the drive should be rai-
sed completely. Only then should the On/Off - switch be turned
off. The advantage of this method is that the pulverization tool cle-
ans itself. Do not unsrew the grinding container until the motor
has come to a standstill. Any grinding material that adheres to the
guard ring can be swept off on the guard ring into the grinding con-
tainer with a cleaning brush (no wire brushes!).
Always remove any grinding scrap which gets into the interstice
before using the appliance again (see "Maintenance and
Cleaning" section).
Please note: The grinding tools, the grinding container and the
rotor shaft may be hot. Observe the safety instructions.
Exchanging the pulverization tools:
Please note: The edges of the blade are sharp. It should only be
handled with protective gloves. Please observe the safety instruc-
tions. Note that when changing the tool directly after a grinding
procedure, the pulverization tools are hot. The mill must first be
allowed to cool off.
Before exchanging the pulverization tools, unplug the power cord.
Rotate the mill drive onto its head and push it into the grinding
container with the head down (see figure 3).

Hold the rotor shaft securely in place with the curved single - head
wrench by the flattened section underneath the pulverization tool.
Loosen and remove the hexagonal nut (item 24) with the second
single - head wrench and remove the blade or the beater.
Before assembling a new or another pulverization tool, make cer-
tain that all parts are clean. It does not matter which direction bea-
ters and blades are installed in. Due to their double - sided opera-
tion, the two pulverization tools have a service life that is twice as
long. If one side is dull or worn, you can use the other side by tur-
ning the beather or blade around.
After you have set the pulverization tool in place, tighten the hexa-
gonal nut to finger thightness. To do this, use the tools as shown
in figure 3.

Malfunctions and eliminating malfunctions

Malfunction display
The malfunction display lights up if the grinding container has not
been screwed in to the stop and the On/Off - switch has been
pressed.
The malfunction display also lights up if the motor circuit breaker
has been triggered and the On/Off - switch is pressed. The mal-
function display alone does not indicate which of the two possible
errors has occurred. As a rule, if the motor circuit breaker has
been engaged, an elevated temperature has been detected on the
mill housing.
Temperature and over-current protection
The A 11 basic mill is protected from overload and / or over-
heating by a combined temperature and overcurrent switch.
The motor circuit breaker turns itself back off automatically when
the temperature of the mill is again in an acceptable range and the
