CAUTION
Never use the safety arm (K) for car-
rying the machine.
The VCM-42 must be installed by an
authorized specialist.
Take care not to injure your hands on
sharp blades and moving parts.
Never insert your hands into the bowl
(I) other than for cleaning.
Only an authorized specialist may
repair the machine and open the
machine housing.
Before cleaning, switch off the machi-
ne and remove the power supply plug
or open the isolating switch.
UNPACKING
Check that all of the parts have been
delivered, that the machine operates
as intended, and that nothing has been
damaged in transit. The machine supplier
should be notified of any shortcomings
within eight days.
INSTALLATION
Remove the cutter (H) from the bowl
before installation.
Connect the machine to an electric power
supply which is suitable for the machine.
Check that the shaft (O) rotates anti-
clockwise.
Check that the shaft stops rotating 4 se-
conds after the safety arm (K) has been
turned away from the centre of the lid (A).
Check that the machine does not start
when the bowl and lid have been remo-
ved but the safety arm is over the shaft in
the centre of the machine.
If the machine does not perform correctly,
summon a specialist for remedying the
fault before taking the machine back into
operation.
ASSEMBLING
When assembling the machine, start by
moving the safety arm (K) towards the
rear as far as it will go.
Place the bowl (I) on the machine so that
its guide pin (J) drops into the slots (P) in
the top of the machine, and then turn the
bowl anti-clockwise.
Fit the cutter (H) to the shaft (O) and
press it down all the way.
Place the scraper (C) in the bowl, with its
cover (F) at "6 o'clock".
Place the lid (A) on the bowl so that
the arrow on the edge of the lid points
towards the scraper handle (D), and
press the lid down so that the scraper and
lid engage.
Lift the safety arm, at the same time tur-
ning it towards the centre of the lid.
DISMANTLING
Start by lifting the safety arm (K) slightly
and turning it towards the rear of the
machine until it is clear of the bowl (I).
Then remove the bowl.
Always leave the cutter (H) in place when
removing the bowl, to prevent the bowl
contents from running out through the
tube in the centre of the bowl.

The quantities and sizes of individual
pieces that can be processed in one fill
and the processing time necessary are

being processed and on the required
results.
For good, consistent results, solid foods
such as meat, cheese, etc. should first be
cut into pieces of roughly equal size and
no larger than about 4 cm
3
The maximum quantities that the machine
can process in one fill and the approxi-
mate processing times are listed below.
Meat: 1.3 kg/1 min. Fish: 1.3 kg/1 min.

the machine will run continuously at high
speed.
In the "PULSE" position, the machine will
run as long as the lever is held in this
position. The PULSE setting is used for
short cycles in which accurate results are
needed.
The scraper (C) is an accessory which
can be used, while the machine is run-
ning, for returning minced meat, for
instance, that has been thrown against
the walls of the bowl back into the cutting
zone.
Turn the scraper whenever you want to
scrape the walls of the bowl, or to open/
close the feed tube (B).
