Safety Information

WARNING:

• Always disconnect the machine from the power supply before performing any maintenance or part replacement.
• Refer to your specific PASTOCHEF machine's main user manual for detailed safety precautions and disassembly/assembly procedures.
• Use only genuine Carpigiani replacement parts to ensure proper function and maintain warranty validity.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves when handling lubricants or machine parts.

Setup and Installation

This kit is primarily for maintenance and replacement of wear parts. "Setup" in this context refers to preparing for the replacement process.

1. Preparation:
   • Ensure the PASTOCHEF machine is turned off and unplugged from the power source.
   • Allow the machine to cool down if it has been in operation.
   • Gather all necessary tools (e.g., screwdrivers, wrenches) as specified in your machine's main manual.
   • Clean the work area to prevent contamination of parts.
2. Disassembly:
   • Carefully disassemble the relevant sections of your PASTOCHEF machine where the seals and O-rings are located. Refer to the exploded diagrams in your machine's main manual or the diagrams provided with this kit for guidance.
   • Note the orientation and position of each part as you remove it.
   • Dispose of old seals and O-rings responsibly.
3. Part Replacement:
   • Clean the grooves and surfaces where new seals will be installed.
   • Apply a thin, even layer of CARPILUME lubricant to the new O-rings and seals before installation. This facilitates easier assembly and helps prevent damage to the seals during installation.
   • Install the new O-rings and seals into their correct positions, ensuring they are seated properly and not twisted or pinched.
4. Reassembly:
   • Reassemble the machine components in reverse order of disassembly.
   • Ensure all fasteners are tightened securely, but do not overtighten.
   • Verify that all parts are correctly aligned and no components are left over.

Operating Considerations (Post-Maintenance)

After replacing parts using the CARPICARE KIT, follow these steps before resuming normal operation:

1. Initial Cleaning:
   • Perform a thorough cleaning cycle of the machine as per your PASTOCHEF machine's main manual. This is crucial to remove any residual lubricant or contaminants introduced during maintenance.
2. Leak Check:
   • After cleaning, perform a test run with water or a non-dairy solution to check for any leaks around the newly installed seals.
   • If leaks are detected, immediately turn off the machine, disconnect power, and re-examine the installation of the seals.
3. Functionality Test:
   • Once no leaks are present, run a short cycle with the actual product to ensure proper operation and product consistency.

Maintenance Schedule

The components in this CARPICARE KIT are wear parts and require periodic replacement to maintain machine efficiency and hygiene. Refer to your PASTOCHEF 18-32-55 RTX-RTL machine's main user manual for the recommended replacement frequency for each specific part. General guidelines often suggest replacement every 3-6 months, depending on usage intensity.

• Daily: Clean all food contact surfaces.
