only be used by trained staff.
1.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER
This appliance is designed and built to satisfy a variety of wash-
ing applications for fresh vegetables only. Only use the appli-
ance in compliance with its rated specifications (see para-
graph 2, of Chapter: Instructions for the installer).
Important:
• Never start the vegetable washer if the tank is empty (no
water).
• During basket tilting operations, the area immediately around
the appliance must be free of all personnel except for the op-
erator in charge.
• The degree of contamination caused by chemicals and re-
sidual soil etc. varies considerably amongst different types of
vegetable. For best results, do not wash vegetables which are
extremely soiled or contaminated.
• The washing process essentially involves the removal of soil
and residues from the surface of vegetables. The quality of
washing is determined by the following parameters:
- the quantity of vegetables washed (which must not exceed
the maximum load specified in the table below),
- the intensity of the circulating water flow,
- the wash time, (interruption or otherwise of pump opera-
tion during the wash cycle),
- the tank emptying frequency (partial or total). As a general
rule, the tank should be emptied every 1 to 2 wash cycles
when handling medium "soiled" products.
• Vegetables must be stored in premises fulfilling the required
hygiene criteria both before and after washing.

TURNING ON
Open the water shut-off cock and power up the appliance us-
ing the main power switch located upstream of the appliance.
2.1 Start-up sequence for "manual" water level control ver-
sions (Fig. 2)
• Make sure the pointer on selector knob "8" is set to fill (pointer
to left).
• Turn selector "2" to "on" (I) to energise the water filling sole-
noid valve.
• Wait until the water level is level with the overflow drain
outlet as the vegetables are immersed in the tank. During this
phase, take care not to spray people or equipment in the vicin-
ity of the appliance.
• This done, set selector "8" to wash (pointer up) to stop water
filling and start the water turbulence pump.
• Then, using knob "7", adjust the circulating water flow ac-
cording to the quantity and type of vegetables (heavy or light)
being washed.
• Run the wash cycle for the required length of time (refer to the
table below) and then set the turbulence flow control knob to
minimum for a suitable time (to be decided by the operator) so
that the solid particles removed from the vegetables can settle
at the bottom of the tank.
• Next, position a trolley alongside the vegetable washer ready
to receive the clean vegetables.
• Press button "6" to raise the basket to the unloading position.
This button may be pulse-operated to ensure that all the water is
drained from the vegetables before unloading them onto the
trolley. In the interests of hygiene, always wear non toxic rubber
gloves when handling washed vegetables.
• Finally, lower the basket back into the tank by simultaneously
pressing basket down buttons "1" and "5". This operation
must only be performed by one operator.
• This done, set selector knob "8" to empty (pointer to right) to
stop the water circulating pump and open the drain valve. The
tank may now be partially emptied to remove any sediment.
• For further wash cycles, simply repeat the sequence outlined
above.
