3. Starting Up
3.1 Installation
Remove the Homogenizer from its packing and place it on a flat, stable surface.
Connect the power lead to the rear of the unit and put the switch in position "I".
The displays will light up and a green light will flash at the bottom of the front
side. The unit is now ready to use.
If the unit has been stored at a temperature below 10°C, allow it to return
to room temperature before operating.
3.2 Adjusting the blending power
The blending power is determined by the distance between the paddles and
the door. The smaller the gap, the more powerful the blending.
The initial paddle setting is factory set for a standard use with a standard
power. When the unit is empty, without a bag, the paddles just touch the door.
From this position, you can advance the paddles 3 mm or retract them by 15
mm, depending on your requirements.

Depending on the nature of the sample, you may need to increase or reduce
the blending power, i.e. advance or retract the paddles. To do this, simply turn
the handle at the rear of the unit counter-clockwise to advance the paddles or
clockwise to retract them. For information, one complete revolution corresponds
to a displacement of 1.5 mm.
To revert to the factory setting ("standard setting"), please follow the
instructions at the rear of the unit.
