in the groove on inside of the lid (A4) as
shown in Fig. D during all processing.
Make sure that the plug (A2) is fitted to
the lid at all times and is correctly
pushed down as far as it will go into the
feeder tube (A3) as shown in Fig. F1.
Always carry the machine by the two
handles (A10) on the sides of the

Installation.
Connect the machine to a suitable electric power
supply, in accordance with the specifications on the
ID plate on the back of the machine base (A12).

650 - 900 mm in height.
Safety check before use.

base (Fig. B).
Fit the knife/cutter (A6) to the shaft (A9) and
press it down all the way (Fig. C). Note! The
knife/cutter must not be fitted during the safety
check but only during actual processing.
Place the sealing ring into the groove on the inside

the lid is directly above the handle of the bowl, as
shown in Fig. G1.
Turn the safety arm (A8) so that it is above the

Quantities, sizes and processing times.
The quantities and sizes of individual pieces that
can be processed in one fill and the processing
time necessary are dependent on the texture of
the food being processed and on the required
results.
For good, consistent results, solid foods such as
meats, cheese, etc. should first be cut into pieces
of roughly equal size, no larger than about 4 cm
The maximum quantities that the machine can
process in one fill are:1.5 kg meat, 1.5 kg fish,
1.5 kg aromatic/flavoured butter, 2 litres of
sauce, dressing, etc. and 1.5 litres of parsley.
Using the control knob (A1 1).
With the control knob (A11) in the "O" position the
machine is switched off. In the "I" position the
machine runs continuously at low speed and in the
"II" position (VCS-62 only) continuously at high
speed. In the "P" position (pulse), the machine runs
at low speed while the knob is held in this position.
The speed which should be used depends on the
type food to be processed, its quality, and the
desired result.
Normally, processing should start with a few, brief
periods of operation in the "P" (pulse) position. If
the food requires a longer processing time, switch
to the "I" position. If the results are still not
satisfactory, switch to the "II" position (VCS-62
only).
Cleaning.
CAUTION: Take great care with sharp knives/
cutters (A6).
CAUTION: Before cleaning, switch off the
machine by moving the knob (A11) into the "O"
position and then pull the plug out of the wall

Always clean the machine thoroughly immediately
after use.
Remove the lid (A4), knife/cutter (A6) and bowl
(A7) from the machine base (A12).
