K80v / K120v BOWL CUTTERS
EN-25
The machine should be cleaned daily, both before and after use. Since all its
components are easily accessible, the TALSA cutter is easy to clean with warm water
and a mild detergent. Never use bleach or any abrasive cleaners which might damage
the stainless steel or other materials.
After every operating session, clean carefully the knife-head assembly, the knife shaft
and bushing gasket, the bowl, the safety guard, the interior part of the knife cover and
the plastic lid, the hinge of the lid and if necessary the lid holding screws with a brush.
The extracting pan can be dismantled for easier cleaning by loosening the two knobs
fastening it to the bowl protector and pulling the pan up (IMG. 9).
ALWAYS use appropriate protection (latex gloves, plastic apron, etc.) when
manually cleaning the machine.

Important Warnings!
ALWAYS disconnect the cutter from
the power source before cleaning. To
do this, turn off the machine’s main
power switch and deactivate the
auxiliary fuse-board switch; we
strongly recommend that you also
disconnect the machine from the
electrical outlet if possible.
USE EXTREME CARE when handling
the knife assembly. Be careful that you
do not cut yourself or drop it on your
feet or on the floor.
DO NOT place your hands near the
cutting edges of the knives without
wearing adequate protection such as
gloves made of metal mesh or other
cut-resistant material.
NEVER use streams of pressurized
water to clean the cutter; avoid getting
water into the machine's interior,
especially through or around any
electrical components.
Very Important!
THE CUTTING HEAD ASSEMBLY MUST BE REMOVED IN ONE PIECE (fig. 5) AND SHOULD BE CLEANED
THOROUGHLY UNDER RUNNING WATER AFTER EVERY OPERATING SESSION. THE KNIFE BUSHING
GASKET AND SURROUNDING AREA MUST ALSO BE THOROUGHLY CLEANED AND GREASED.
It is extremely important to keep clean the surfaces supporting the knives and separating rings. A buildup
of food residue on these surfaces creates stress points that may result in micro fissures that can damage
or break knives.
DO NOT wash the knives in water hotter than 60°C or colder than 10°C. DO NOT wash the knives immediately
after using the machine since abrupt temperature changes could result in internal micro fissures or
deformations.
