Sammic CA-301 Mode D'emploi page 8

To do so:
- Release the lock (H), and open the hinged lid
(I).
- In the case of the CA-401 machine, while hold-
ing the disc without touching the blades, use
the Allen key supplied with the machine to
remove the bit (P) or mixer (R), unscrewing it
anti-clockwise.
- Remove the disc (A) by rotating it clockwise
and pulling it upwards carefully. Remove the
grid (B) and ejector (C).
- In the CA-301 machine the pusher plate (L)
and hinged lid (I) can be removed for cleaning.
To do so, remove the pins (N and O).
CLEANING CA-601
WARNING: Disconnect the machine from
the mains before handing any internal com-
ponents.
Handle the discs (A) and grids (B) very care-
fully because they have very sharp blades.
Any components in contact with the food must
be cleaned immediately after use, using hot
water and a food-safe detergent. Then rinse
with plenty of hot water and disinfect using an
ethyl alcohol-soaked cloth (90 º).
To do so:
- Remove the hopper (U). Rotate the safety pin
and pull the hopper (U) upwards.
- Release the lock (H), pull the pin (N) to remo-
ve the hinged lid (I).
- Holding the disc (A) with your hand without
touching the blades, use the key (S) supplied
with the machine to remove the mixer (R),
unscrewing it anti-clockwise.
- Remove the disc (A) by rotating it clockwise
and pulling it upwards carefully.
- Remove the grid (B) and ejector (C).
GENERAL CLEANING
- NEVER power clean. Use a damp cloth and
mild detergent for cleaning. DO NOT use
abrasive detergents (nitric acid, neat
bleach, etc.) or stainless steel scourers or
scrubbers as they could cause rusting.
- Do not wash the parts, such as the discs (A),
grids (B), hinged lid (I) and pusher plate (L), in
a dishwasher.
WARNING: To remove food stuck in the
grids (B) you can knock them through
using an elongated potato or whole carrot
in the cutting direction. This avoids damag-
ing the grid (B). Take care with the edge of
the grid (B). Never use hard objects to hit
the grid (B).

Bit (P) and Mixer (R). Only CA-401
- Bit (P): It is only used when working with cabbage
and similar vegetables. Whole pieces can be cut.
- Mixer (R): It must be used with any food
except cabbage and similar vegetables.
High and normal ejector (C). Only in the CA-
401.

MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
- Before undertaking any cleaning, inspection
or repair work on vegetable preparation
machines the machine must be unplugged
from the mains.
- NEVER insert your hand or any other utensil
through the outlets or hoppers (J and K) that
feed the machine, to avoid accidents or dam-
ages to the blades.
- Regularly check that the machine safety
devices are working. If you detect any anom-
aly, call the SAMMIC authorised technical
service.
- Regularly inspect the trailing axle seal to
ensure that this area is properly sealed. Each
time the trailing axle is released for mainte-
nance it is recommendable to fit a new seal.
- Clean the machine after every use, as
described above.
- Only a SAMMIC authorised technical service
can replace the power cable if this is dam-
aged.
- Machine noise level, while running, at a height
of 1.6 m and a distance of 1 m, less than 70
dB(A). Background noise: 32 dB(A).
BLADE SHARPENING
WARNING: Handle the discs (A) and grates
(B) very carefully because they have very
sharp blades.
The disc blades (A) can be removed easily for
sharpening. Always use soft stone to keep the
blade's cutting angle intact.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The hinged lid (I) is closed and the pusher plate
(L) down but the machine does not start when
the "Start" button is pressed:
- The machine is connected and the "Machine
connected to mains" (1) warning light is on. No
power reaches the plate or the plate is broken.
- In the CA-301 and CA-401 if the "Safety"
warning light (2) flashes slowly with the push-
er plate (L) down there is a problem with the
pusher plate (L) safety microswitch. This
warning could also be triggered in the CA-601
and header. In the 2-speed machines the flas-
hing occurs in the "Speed 1" (5) or "Speed 2"
indicators (6).
- If the "Safety" warning light (2) flashes quickly
with the hinged lid (I) closed, there is a prob-
lem with the hinged lid (I) safety microswitch.
In the 2-speed machines the flashing occurs in
the "Speed 1" (5) or "Speed 2" indicators (6).
- If the "Machine connected to mains" (1) and
"Safety" (2) warning lights flash alternately, the
motor thermal protection device has tripped.
Wait for it to reset and investigate what the
problem could have been (overload, parts
seized up, problems with starter relay or
capacitors in single-phase models etc...). In
the 2-speed models the flashing occurs
between the pilot lights "Machine connected to
the mains" (1) and "Speed 1" (5) if the speed
selected was slow. Or, the pilot light "Machine
connected to the mains" (1) and "Speed 2" (6)
if the speed selected was fast.
- To check that the keypad works properly, if
you keep one of the keys pressed down the
