  • Page 5: Procedure

    Procedure Work top models The VQ Range is designed to stand on a bench, table, or on a draining board. DO NOT mount or operate the unit in a sink. The peeled potatoes are commonly discharged into a sink and the waste sludge can be piped away separately, possibly using the waste ejector fitting.

Mounting the peeler to the trolley is straightforward as follows:  First it is advisable to remove the cylinder pot assembly and peeler plate before mounting on trolley.
  • Page 7: Electricity Supply Connection

    ELECTRICITY SUPPLY CONNECTION Before connecting, examine the rating plate attached to the machine to ensure that the characteristics shown are correct for the supply available. Any changes to the supply or fitting new mains cable runs should be carried out by a qualified electrician and in accordance with the IET Codes of Practice.
  • Page 8: Water Supply

    WATER SUPPLY Connect the water supply pipe to the hose tail located on the top of the cylinder. Fit the other end of the supply pipe to a cold water supply. PLEASE NOTE: these machines are fitted with an air-break to prevent back syphonage into the mains supply, but some local authorities may nevertheless require connection to a storage cistern rather than direct to the mains supply.
  • Page 9: Waste Ejector Adjustments

    The waste ejector fits onto the waste outlet boss in place of the waste outlet hose, as shown below. Ensure that the ejector body is vertical and secure in place with the jubilee clips supplied. The water supply to the ejector is via the hose tail on top of the waste ejector.
