This protective coat is formed through the whole surface of
the steel, blocking the action of external corrosive agents.
When the protective coat is broken, the corrosion process
begins, being possible to avoid it by means of constant and
adequate cleaning.
Cleaning must always be done immediately after using the
equipment. For purpose, use water, mild soap or detergent,
and clean the equipment with a soft cloth or a nylon sponge.
Then rinse it with plain running water, and dry immediately
with a soft cloth, this way avoiding humidity on surfaces
and especially on gaps.
The rinsing and drying processes are extremely important
to prevent stains and corrosion from arising.
Acid solutions, salty solutions, disinfectants and some
sterilizing solutions (hypochlorites, tetravalent ammonia
salts, iodine compounds, nitric acid and others), must be
AVOIDED, once it cannot remain for long in contact with
the stainless steel.
These substances attack the stainless steel due to the
CHLORINE on its composition, causing corrosion spots
(pitting).
Even detergents used in domestic cleaning must not remain
in contact with the stainless steel longer than the necessary,
being mandatory to remove it with plain water and then dry
the surface completely.
Use of abrasives:
Sponges or steel wools and carbon steel brushes, besides
scratching the surface and compromising the stainless
steel protection, leave particles that rust and react
contaminating the stainless steel. That is why such products
must not be used for cleaning and sanitization. Scrapings
made with sharp instruments or similar must also be
avoided.
Main substances that cause stainless steel corrosion:
Dust, grease, acid solutions such as vinegar, fruit juices, etc.,
saltern solutions (brine), blood, detergents (except for the
neutral ones), common steel particles, residue of sponges
or common steel wool, and also other abrasives.
4. Safety Notions
The following safety instructions are addressed to both the
operator of the machine as well as the person in charge of
maintenance.
The machine has to be delivered only in perfect conditions

4.1 Basic Operation Practice
14
4.1.1 Danger
Some areas of the electric device have parts that are
connected or have parts connected to high voltage. These
parts when touched may cause severe electrical chocks or
even be fatal.
Never touch switches such as buttons, turning switchs and
knobs with your hands wearing wet clothes and/or wet
shoes. By not following these instructions operator could
be exposed to severe electrical shocks or even to a fatal
situation.
4.1.2 Warnings
The operator has to be well familiar with the position of ON/
OFF Switch to make sure the Switch is easy to be reached
when necessary. Before any kind of maintenance, physically
remove plug from the socket.
Provide space for a comfortable operation thus avoiding
accidents.
Water or oil spilled on the floor will turn it slippery and
dangerous.
If any work is to be made by two or more persons,
coordination signs will have to be given for each operation
step. Every step of the operation shall be taken only if a sign
has been made and responded.
4.1.3 Advices
In case of power shortage, immediately turn the machine
OFF. Use recommended or equivalent lubricants, oils or
greases.
- Avoid mechanical shocks as they may cause failures or
malfunction.
- Avoid penetration of water, dirt or dust into mechanical or
electrical components of the machine.
Do not modify original characteristics of the machine.
Do not remove, tear off or maculate any labels attached to
the machine. If any labels have been removed or is no lon-
ger legible contact your nearest Authorized Technical Assis-
tance for replacement.
Read the INSTRUCTONS in the manual before turning
on the equipment. Make sure that the information as
understood. If you have any questions, check the Skymsen.
4.2 Precautions and Observations before Turning
on the Equipment
4.2.1 Danger
An electric cable or electric wire with damaged jacket or bad
insulation could cause electrical chocks as well as electrical
leak. Before using the equipment, check conditions of all
wires and cables.
4.2.2 Advices
Be sure ALL INSTRUCTIONS in this manual have been
thoroughly understood.
Every function and operational procedure have to be very
clear to the operator. Contact your nearest Dealer for
further questions.
