This publication contains all the information necessary for the installation, use and maintenance of the manual flywheel slicing machines to be used for food, with circular blade. The purpose of this manual is to allow the user, above all the direct user, to take every precaution and arrange all human and material means necessary for a safe and lengthy use of these machines. The slicing machines are subject to continuous improvements, which do not restrain the current instructions in this handbook. This manual must be given to the person who will use and maintain the machines and this person will keep the manual in a safe and dry place, ready to be used. We recommend that a copy is being kept on file. The manual must be kept for the entire life of the machine and in case of need (ex. any damage to even a part of the manual that makes consulting it difficult) the user must acquire a new copy exclusively from the manufacturer. The user must let the manufacturer know the address of any new owner of the machine. For any correspondence with the manufacturer or authorized personnel, please refer to the information on the plate and the machine serial number. 1.2 General description of the machine The slicing machine has been designed and made to offer maximum safety when in use, during cleaning and ordinary maintenance; maximum hygiene from the use of inoxidisable materials or adequately protected against oxidation together with an attentive design of all the parts that come into contact with food; maximum cutting precision and capacity together with sturdiness and reliability of the structure. The machine is essentially made up of a base that holds a circular blade that is vertically mounted and a sliding carriage on bars, parallel to the cutting edge of the blade, which in turn holds a food plate. The food plate is made up of a base plate and an overplate which slides at right angles to the edge of the blade for slicing the food; the overplate also has an appropriate self-stopping device, which can be regulated in height, to keep the product in its proper place during cutting operations (food press). Carriage movement and blade rotation are completely manual; by activating rotation of the flywheel with the special handle, the carriage is put into motion and the blade is turns at the same time with a chain transmission. The product is cut during the forward movement of the carriage, parallel to the blade; the thickness of the slice is regulated by a mechanical device which is automatically started every time the carriage comes back, making the sliding overplate transversally towards the blade, with a value which is pre-determined by the graduated handwheel. All the components of the machine are made of a light aluminium alloy, in stainless steel and plastic for food products as according to the sanitary regulations in force. The machine has a sharpener which is extremely easy and safe to use. The food plate, sharpener and blade cover can be removed for cleaning.

The manual flywheel slicer of the series PROSCIUTTO serves the slicing of boiled, smoke-dried and raw sausage products, warm and cold (temperature not less than +3°C) meat without bones, cheese and bread. The cutting thickness ranges from 0 to 2 mm for Prosciutto300. The machine may only be used in original condition respectively with genuine parts. The removal of protective devices is not allowed, moreover, plates may not be removed, covered or changed. In case of damage, the machine needs to be put out of operation and ADE needs to be informed in order to replace parts. The manufacturer declines all responsibility derived from an improper use or use by personnel who has not read and fully understood the contents of this manual; changes and/or repairs carried out on one’s own; the use of spare parts that are not original or not specific for the type of machine. The slicing machines may not be used for slicing frozen or deep-frozen products, meat or sausage products with bones or pip fruit and vegetables. Cutting samples cannot be recommended as well. Disregarding this advice can seriously damage the slicer and can further lead to revoke the existing warranty claim. 2. COMMISSIONING Please check that packaging is unopened and free of damage. Otherwise, immediately inform the forwarding agent or area agent. 2.1 Unpacking • Cut and remove the plastic straps; • Open the carton and take the operating instructions; • Remove the polyurethane protection first. • Carefully lift the machine and put it in its place of installation; • Control the goods that are included in the delivery Included in delivery: - Machine - instruction manual • Place the machine in its intended position. • Examine if there is anything that could interfere the movement of the flywheel, the carriage or the loading of food

clockwise allows the carriage to be moved with the food plate with simultaneous blade rotation Regulating knob for slice thickness: The thickness of the slice is regulated by turning the graduated scale knob (2). Overplate advance handwheel: The handwheel (3) allows the overplate with the product to be brought quickly near to the blade after loading it or taken away from the blade after cutting or for small regulations Overplate rapid advance lever: Pulling the toggle (4) allows rapid movement of the overplate, towards the blade or away from it after cutting. This operation is much quicker than the handwheel (3). 4.3 Loading the goods • By using the flywheel (1), the carriage (2) is brought to the front towards the operator. • Pull back the sliding overplate (3) completely by using the handwheel (4) or the rapid advance lever (5). • Place the food to be sliced on the overplate and block it with the food press (6) regulating the height as well. • Regulate the thickness of the slice by pulling and rotating the knob (7). • Bring the overplate with the goods towards the blade by using the rapid advance lever or the handwheel.

• Turn the flywheel clockwise. Do not turn the flywheel counter clockwise since it could seriously damage the machine. • During the forward movement of the carriage (towards the operator) the goods will go into the blade and the slice, which is guided by the slice deflector, will fall onto the plate below. • During the return movement of the carriage (towards the operator) the mechanical device, which moves the overplate advance transversally towards the blade, will be put in motion. 4.5 Cleaning the slicing machine Due to hygienic reasons the slicing machine must be properly cleaned on a regular basis. The machine needs to be dismantled and cleaned at the end of each working day, moreover, cleaning should take place if different kind of goods are sliced. Also clean the machine, if it has not been used for a longer period of time. General instructions: - While cleaning the machine, use protective gloves that are resistant to cutting and tearing. - Parts of the machine that come into contact with the sliced goods need to be cleaned by a brush with semi-stiff nylon bristles. - The body of the machine needs to be cleaned with a soft and moist sponge. - Only use products with a PH 7-8 degree of acidity and clear water. - It is strictly forbidden to use cleaning material that may harm the operator’s health or the machine. - Only use clear water to rinse and wipe the machine. - Cleaning the machine is limited to authorized personnel. - Be aware of the cutter blade. - Moving the machine needs to be done by two persons, taking the four legs as reference point. Steps for cleaning the machine: • Open the slice deflector. • Take out the container. • Loosen the knob and lift the sliding overplate with its food press arm.

• Remove the knife sharpener, raise it using the knob on the top. • Clean all the disassembled parts and the machine body by using hot water (min. +30°C) and a biodegradable foaming detergent with a PH 7-8 degree if acidity. Use a soft, spongy cloth for the sharper parts. The machine may not be cleaned with by running jets of water or steam or similar methods. Neither the machine, nor the single parts may be cleaned in the dishwasher. • After cleaning, the machine needs to be assembled in reverse order. 5. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS The operator is allowed to carry out the following maintenance: - Blade sharpening (periodically); the interval and length of the sharpening obviously depend on the use of the machine (working time and type of product sliced) - Lubrication of the carriage guide bars and overplate (weekly) Maintenance to be carried out exclusively by authorized personnel: - Replacing the blade - Replacing the sharpener grindstones - Replacing the chain - Repairing the structural parts, repairing and/or replacing components underneath the base 5.1 Sharpening the blade Proceed as follows as soon as it is noticed that there is less cutting capacity: • Open the slice deflector • Clean the blade with denatured alcohol or hot water • Raise the cover of the sharpener, turn it 180° and lower it again • Start the machine (only blade rotation) • Carefully push the grindstone button to the right and persevere about 10-15 seconds. Afterwards release the button to bring him back in position. • Burring of the blade.
