Circuit Breaker Instructions

The motor includes a resettable overload breaker to prevent risk of person-al injury or food strainer damage.   

Instructions for resetting overload breaker:  Turn the switch to the off (“O”) position and unplug the motor from the outlet. Remove the motor from the food strainer. Wait 10 minutes for the motor to cool, then manual-ly reset the breaker by pressing in on the top of the breaker until it locks. 
Important:  Before reinstalling the motor, check the food strainer oper-ation by installing the handle and manually operating the food strainer to make sure the spiral isn’t jammed or overly hard to turn.
Caution: If the breaker trips immediately after plugging in or turning on the motor, do not bypass the breaker and do not use the motor. 

Motor Use Instructions

Make sure you have read the Important Safety Instructions before installing the motor.

Installation Steps

1. Remove the motor from the packaging and make sure the power switch is in the off (“O”) position (see diagram above) and the motor is un-plugged.

2. Use the crank handle to position the strainer shaft so the motor shaft can fit in (see diagram below).

   

3. Once the shaft is positioned correctly, insert the motor shaft into the food strainer shaft by pushing forward on the motor.

4. With the shafts connected, twist the motor counter-clockwise (see diagrams below).

   

5. You will know the motor is correctly in place when the motor latch is secure around the strainer body (see diagram below) and the drive shaft is FULLY insterted in strainer.

   

6. Make sure the power switch is still in the off (“O”) position and plug the motor cord into a correct power source.
7. WARNING! - Do not turn on the motor at this point!  You will damage your strainer by running it when the screen and spiral are dry.
8. Now that the motor is connected properly and plugged in, you can put your prepared produce into the hopper.
9. You may now turn the power switch to the on (“I”) position.  Never use any tool except the food pusher in the hopper.  Keep hands, hair, clothing and any other objects, except the pusher, away from the hopper opening at all times.

Removal Steps

1. To remove the motor, make sure the power switch is in the off (“O”) position and the cord is no longer in the outlet.

2. Firmly grasp the motor and twist in a clockwise direction to release the motor latch from the body of the strainer.  (See diagram above).

   

3. The motor may be tight and hard to remove.  If so, rock it up and down gently as you pull straight back. (See diagram below).

   

4. To store, place the motor back in its original box and packaging and keep it in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and extreme temperatures.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
(See diagrams below) 

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED. 
In the event of malfunc-tion or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for elec-tric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conduc-tor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug pro-vided with the appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
