Safety and Warranty

IMPORTANT
To prevent accidents and ensure best performance the machine must not be modified or altered unless authorised by Omcan. Nor must it be used in conditions or for purposes other than those for which it has been expressly designed. Any arbitrary modification implemented in this machine will automatically exempt Omcan from any liabilities for ensuing damage or injury and warranty claims.
For your own personal safety, before connecting the machine to the electrical main:

•  Check that power mains leading to distribution socket is fitted with an appropriate multipolar switch protected against overloads and short circuits.
• Carry out all phase connections, as well as any neutral and ground connections (compulsory) with a standard plug compatible with the above mentioned socket.
• The protection lead (ground) is the one with the yellow/green insulating sheath; make sure that the power supply cable is appropriate to its use, according to length, mains voltage and machine consumption.
• Unless adequate protections against electrical shock are fitted, do not operate the machine in damp or wet environments.

Do not start up the machine without the protective paneling. This may jeopardize personnel safety and machine serviceability.
RESIDENTIAL USERS: The vendor assumes no liability for parts or labor coverage for component failure or other damages resulting from installation in non-commercial or residential applications.

Technical Specifications

Installation

Install and use the machine in a room that can be efficiently ventilated, and where the floor is level, compact and easy to clean.If floor is uneven, to prevent instability and machine movements, shim feet with strips of hard rubber. Position the machine as preferred, leaving a free space of approx. 50 cm/20” around all sides. This will enable unhindered access for actual operation, as well as for cleaning and maintenance. For machines equipped with wheels, ensure to apply brakes by pressing the lever down. Also ensure that machine voltage is the same as that distributed by power mains (see rating plate on machine rear cover).For connection to electrical system, fit a suitable plug to the machine power supply cable.
Warning: have the plug fitted to the power supply by qualified electrician. Take the necessary precautions to prevent the cable from being crimped or damaged.
After mating the plug to the mains socket, the machine is ready for use. First, however, check proper operation of all moving parts and components of the machine. Thus, check:

• Rotation direction of bowl (compare with arrow on bowl) and spiral.
•  Safety device serviceability: device is serviceable when machine stops the moment the guard is lifted by 10-15 mm/0.4”-0.6”.
• Operation of push buttons and pilot lamp.

Important: If the machine or some of its parts fail, call your Omcan for repairs.
Note: for machines with three-phase power supply: in case of counter rotation, invert two phases of the power supply plug. Check bowl rotation each time you replace the power supply plug or change power mains socket.
TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
The machine, pallet-mounted at origin, is shipped enclosed in an appropriate packing and strapped to the wooden pallet itself. When unloading the machine from the transport vehicle, lift from the points marked on the packing using suitable equipment. Unless you need to check its contents, you are recommended not to open the packing until the moment of installation. To transport the machine to the installation site, use a trolley of adequate carrying capacity. Remove straps, packing and polystyrene strips. Dispose of this material according to the regulations in force. Lift the machine and place on the installation site. Remove the supporting pallet using straps of suitable carrying capacity (approx. 6 times the weight of the machine). These will have to be slipped under the spiral holder head. The whole operation is to be controlled by adequate manual or power-driven lifting equipment.

PREPARING THE MACHINE
Prepare the machine before every process cycle. BE SURE that the machine, especially parts which come in contact with food products (spiral, bowl and column) are clean and sanitized; where necessary clean with hot water and spirit. Clean with machine off.
OPERATING THE MACHINE
After having ensured perfect cleanliness of the machine, proceed with dough-making operations as required.
LOADING AND STARTING
Press the stop push button to make sure the machine is off. Raise the bowl guard until it stops against the rubber rest. Load the machine with ingredients of the type and quantity required. Lower the bowl guard on its rest. Press the start push button.
CAUTION: the machine will run only if the safety microswitch is serviceable and in position.

Operation

MACHINES EQUIPPED WITH TIMER
For machines equipped with control timer, before pressing the start push button, set the required time. When set time runs out the machine stops automatically. In the event that you need to use manual controls, eliminate timer operation by setting to “SER.CONT” or “POS.MAN.”
TWO-SPEED MACHINES
To start the machine set the commutator to the required speed. Depress the start push button. If you want to change speed with the machine in operation, first set the selector to “0” then set the new speed. Subsequently press the start push button.
Caution: if the selector remains in position “0” it is impossible to start the machine.
UNLOADING THE MACHINE
At the end of the time period set for the process, press the stop push button.
Note: machines equipped with timer will stop automatically.
Raise the bowl guard, remove the dough, and thoroughly clean all parts affected by the process immediately. At the end of the cleaning, close the guard.
VARYING INITIAL MIXTURE DOSES
If you need to vary the initial mixture by adding or changing the amount of the ingredients, use the food slots in the guard without stopping the machine or raising the guard.

Maintenance

ALWAYS UNPLUG THE MACHINE FROM THE ELECTRICAL SOCKET BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING!
CLEANING
Warning: For healthy and hygienic processing of nutritional products, be sure to keep your machine and the surrounding environment clean. Always disconnect the power supply before cleaning.
After use, especially since processed material is still soft, always thoroughly clean guard, bowl, spiral and column. Inspect and if necessary, clean the process tools again before a fresh kneading operation. Use hot water to remove and rinse off any residual dough. Dry with nutritional absorbent paper and disinfect with a soft cloth dabbed in alcohol, or food grade disinfectant.
Warning: never use non-food grade, abrasive or corrosive chemicals to clean. Also never use coarse or abrasive objects such as steel wool, abrasive sponges and so on.

To clean machine internal and external parts:

•  Remove power supply plug from power mains socket.
• Clean coated surfaces with soft cloth and disinfect with alcohol.
•  To clean internal parts of machine, first dismantle the rear panel; remove any grease and powder from the food products processed; then reassemble the panels.

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
Warning: Remember that all maintenance operations are hazardous if you do not first disconnect the plug from power mains.To maintain machine safety, serviceability and stated performance, service the following parts:

Belt tension: once yearly, or in case of irregular machine operation (r.p.m. loss), check belt drive tension. To do this, disassemble machine rear panel; be sure that the belt is tight enough and, if necessary, turn screw marked by the appropriate symbol, without exaggerating when tightening the belt. Reassemble the rear panel.

Never use the machine with any missing, disassembled or open guards and shields. If servicing operations require repairs to electrical system and/or replacement of bearings or mechanical components, call Omcan.Together with the top control panel, remove all the fixing screws of the panel except one, which should be loosened to allow the panel to rotate while still remaining attached to the machine (this allows you not to detach the electrical cable from the panel). Use MR3 type grease in sufficient quantities that allow lubrication of all chain links. Do not apply too much grease because during chain motion it will tend to spatter against the machine walls and gum up with dust and food products (e.g. flour) making it harder for you to clean. Finally, reassemble all panelling taking care not to damage the control electrical cable in machines with the top control panel.
