Electrolux XBM20 - User Manual

This document describes a range of professional bakery/pastry beater-mixers, designed for kneading, mixing, and whisking all food products. The A versions, when fitted in the kitchen, can also power accessory machines.

Function Description

The beater-mixers are designed for professional use in bakeries and pastry shops. They are capable of handling various food products for kneading, mixing, and whisking. The machine's operation is controlled via a panel with buttons for time setting (increase/decrease), start, and stop, along with a timer display. Safety features include motor stoppage upon opening the protection screen or lowering the cradle, and a requirement to press the START button after any stoppage. The machine is protected against overload by a thermal sensor.

A paddle for mixing.
A whisk for emulsifying.

Optional Equipment (1.1):

Strengthened 20 L whisk for difficult work.
Reduced bowl of 10L with 3 tools (models 201).
Reduced bowl of 20L and 30L with 3 tools (models 301).
Stainless steel table (height 480mm) for 201 table model.
Optional equipment for A accessory hub versions only: accessory machines (mincers, vegetable slicers, sieves) and plate holder to collect products.

Installation (2.2):

Floor-standing models (20/30 litre) can be chocked or fixed to the floor using rear feet.
Table models (20 litre) can be installed on a stable, non-resonant support or an optional stainless steel table. They can also be chocked or embedded in the floor.
The beater is delivered fixed to a wooden pallet and requires a forklift for removal. Manual unloading requires precautions to prevent tipping.

Operation (3.1):

The machine must be used by trained staff in adequately lit premises.
Always check that parts taken hold of are not mobile elements to avoid injury.
The machine is not designed for use in explosive atmospheres.
Prior to first use, the machine must be properly cleaned.
Safety devices must be checked before each use.
Never put hands in the work area during operation.
Do not put hard, frozen objects in the appliance.
Always use a washable or disposable head covering.
The machine will not start if the protection screen is open or the cradle is lowered.
The beater will only start if the bowl support cradle assembly is in the working position, the protection screen is fitted and closed, and the timer is set.
Timed operation: Select time using buttons A and B, start with D, stop with C or at the end of the set time.
Continuous operation: Select by pressing and holding button A, start with D, stop with C.
Do not use the machine without the bowl.

Raising/Lowering the Protection Screen (3.2):

The rotating protection screen can be removed for cleaning. The beater cannot be started while the screen is removed.

Fitting the Bowl and Tools (3.3):

Lower the cradle, put the tool inside the bowl, present the bowl onto the cradle, engage the bowl ball-and-socket, and position the cradle pins.
Slide the tool onto the tool-holder and twist to lock.
Raise the bowl to the work position, close the protection screen, and press START.

Changing and Selecting Speeds (3.4):

The drive belt variable speed provides a continuous range of speeds.
To change speeds, press START, then pull the lever towards you to decrease speed or push it away to increase speed.
Never move the speed lever when stopped.
Always start with a slow speed to prevent splashes or flour dust, then gradually increase speed.
The lever stays at the selected speed due to its self-maintaining system.
If the drive belt slips, decrease the speed.
After work, return the lever to slow speed, press stop, and lower the bowl.

Maximum Capacities (3.5):

Working capacity depends on the tool used, nature, quantity, density of matter, and optimum speed.
Excessive quantity can detriment quality, shorten mechanical component life, and cause motor overheating.

Accessories Hub (3.6):

Version A beaters are fitted with an H12-type variable speed drive for optional accessories: mincers (H 70 H, HV 82 H), vegetable slicers (CX 21 H), and food processors (P 200 H).
To install an accessory, raise cover H, present the accessory, introduce the cone into the beater hub, engage the male square section into the drive shaft, position the pin opposite the housing, push firmly into hub A, and tighten the locking screw.
Select speed according to the accessory.
The machine must be stopped in slow speed using the stop button before fitting or removing the accessory.

Maintenance Features

General (6):

Maintenance must only be carried out by a qualified, trained, and authorised person.
Unplug the machine before any operation.
Residual current may remain on capacitor terminals; discharge them with an insulated conductor before working on the machine.

Mechanism (6.1):

Recommended at least once a year: grease planet gear pinions with very adhesive grease, clean dust from the drive belt and flour dust from inside the machine using a vacuum cleaner.
Access to electrical components requires unplugging the machine.

Changing the Drive Belt (6.2):

Stop the beater in high speed, unplug, remove casing top cover, free the drive belt from the driven variable pulley and drive pulley.
Lightly oil motor shaft and variable pulley driven shafts with Vaseline.
To fit: present the new drive belt to the drive pulley, pull firmly to engage, engage the drive pulley onto the driven pulley, and turn the driven pulley by hand to centre it.

Speed Adjustment (6.3):

If the speed lever does not lock in position, adjust by running the beater at slow speed, unscrewing the speed change lever, removing the cap, re-tightening the lever, starting the beater, unscrewing the anti-slip screw until the lever is held at all speeds, and re-tightening the lock-nut.
Factory setting: approximately 35 to 180 rpm (planet gear speed).

Removing the Planet Gear (6.4):

Remove protection screen and cover, drive belt, driven pulley and its key, and accessories hub (if present).
Hold the planet gear with a piece of wood between the bowl and the planet gear.
Remove the planet gear assembly by tapping it with a mallet on top of the sun gear shaft and lowering the bowl.

Checking Safety Devices (6.5):

Correct operation of safety devices (motor stopping on opening protection screen and lowering bowl) should be checked frequently.
If these functions do not occur, do not use the machine and have it adjusted by a dealer's maintenance department.
The machine must not operate if the bowl is not in position on the cradle.

Electrical Components (6.6):

Check the condition of the cable and electrical components regularly.

Cleaning and Hygiene (4):

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before dismantling any part.
Read instructions and safety information for cleaning products.
Do not clean the machine with a pressure cleaner.
In-between use (4.1): Remove bowl and tool, wash in hot water with disinfectant/detergent, rinse, and dry. Clean planet gear holder, tool-holder shaft, and protection screen with damp sponge and detergent/disinfectant, then rinse. Oil accessory shaft (cooking oil or grease).
After use (4.2): Unplug, remove bowl, tool, and protection screen. Wash bowl and tools in a basin with disinfectant/degreasing product, rinse, and dry. Only the bowl is dishwasher-safe. The full protection screen is not dishwasher-safe. Clean planet gear holder, tool-holder shaft, protection screen, and cradle. Oil accessory shaft. Check all elements are clean.
Use cleaning products compatible with aluminium parts. Avoid abrasive detergents.
Periodically (at least once a month): Remove dust from ventilation holes, wipe and lightly oil raising and lowering pillars with Vaseline.

Stray Flour Particles (4.3):

To reduce flour dust emission: empty flour bags without shaking, pour water before flour if possible, start at slow speed during water/flour mixing, and roll empty flour bags with care.
The see-through plastic screen supplied with the machine must be used.
