Cleaning & Interchanging Block, Knives & Frame
Your chipper has a detachable upper block, making the cleaning and/or interchanging of the block,
knives & frame an easy and hygienic task.
To remove the upper block, unscrew the red “T” knob at the front of the machine (anti-clockwise) and
pull down the block.
To remove the knife frame, unscrew the two knurled knobs (anti-clockwise) and remove.
The block and knife frame can then be cleaned and/or interchanged.
To re-assemble the block onto the machine, please ensure that the hole on the top face of the block is
positioned to the rear of the machine. Push the block up to locate on the lug underneath the head
casting. Then tighten the red “T” knob (clockwise).
Fit the knife frame back onto the machine, ensuring that the lip on the frame is positioned to the front
of the machine. Before tightening the knobs, lower the head onto the knife frame below to ensure they
are aligned correctly, then screw both knurled knobs down tight (clockwise).
We recommend that the body of the machine be washed down using a soft cloth and hot soapy water.
The upper block, frame and knives can be cleaned down using a brush to clear any remains of potato or
starch.
Please Note: Do not put any part of this machine in a dishwasher.
