VB250 PARTS MODIFICATION The VB250 experienced a parts modification in 2008. The model you have can be determined by the drive shaft with the current model having a flat spline of approximately 20mm. This range of electroportables has been exclusively designed to make the assembling and disassembling of all the parts easier, especially of those that have to be handled frequently because of cleaning and maintenance purposes. For the assembling/disassembling of the parts, first place the machine in the vertical position, with the blade looking up. The blade is inserted into the lowest extremity of the transmission shaft with the help of a screw. For assembling/disassembling, the operator only needs a screwdriver. To handle the blade in a safe way, hold it always with a safety glove/thick cloth (Step 1, Figure 1). The blade guard is attached to the tube by a thread. To detach it, turn it in the direction of the arrow (Step 2, Figure 1). Once the blade out of the guard, the transmission shaft, the bearing bush and the joints will be free to be taken out (Step 3, Figure 1). To reassemble the set, insert the transmission shaft with the bearing bush and the inner joint in the tube till it clicks. Press the bearing bush. If it does not enter totally (keeps about 10 mm out), turn and push the shaft following the Step 4, Figure 1 till the bearing bush is totally in. To finish, thread the guard with the outer joint in the tube and follow Step 1 in the opposite way of the disassembling. blade guard outer joint inner joint bearing bush transmission shaft Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Figure 1 REMARK: To thread the screw, align the cavity of the shaft with that of the blade and place the blade on the shaft extremity level (Figure 2).

OPERATION STARTING UP Insert the plug in the socket outlet for the connection of the machine. Hold the machine by its handle and only immerse the attachment in the container to 2/3 of its length at most. The special shape of the handle makes the machine take the correct inclination without forcing the operator to turn the wrist or to make an extra effort to work. With the safety button pressed (Step 1, Figure 3), press the trigger (Step 2, Figure 3). The machine will start up. Maintain the trigger pressed on and release the safety button to continue the operation. Step 2 Figure 3 trigger Step 1 safety button STOP Release the trigger. Unplug the machine. WARNING! Never operate the machine when empty or not in a container, but always inserted in the food to be mixed. When preparing fruit-based mixtures, cut the fruit beforehand and remove seeds/stones. Do not use the machine with hard ingredients (coffee, ice-cubes, chocolate, etc). Page 11
CLEANING Before any cleaning, stop and unplug the machine. CLEANING BEFORE THE FIRST USE Clean the tube, the blade guard and the blade in hot water and a detergent compatible with this type of material. Rinse and dry them carefully. CLEANING AFTER USE Operate the machine in a hot and clean water container for some seconds in order to remove residues from the blade, the blade guard and the tube. Dismount the machine as suggested in Figure 1. If the machine has been used in a hot preparation, leave it cool off before disassembling it. The tube, the blade guard and the blade must be washed in a plenty of clean water and a detergent compatible with this type of material. Before drying, rinse with clean water. To clean the transmission shaft and the lower bearing bush use a brush. Disinfect all the parts in constant contact with the food with the help of a smooth cloth impregnated with ethyl alcohol 90º. To clean the motor unit, use a damp cloth or a sponge and dry it next. WARNING! Do not immerse the motor unit under running water or immerse it in water or any other liquids to avoid electrical shocks. MAINTENANCE Before any maintenance, stop the machine and unplug it. The result of the mixture will depend basically in the condition of the blade. It gets damaged with the use and it will have to be replaced periodically to obtain the best quality of the mixture. Check the joints and the oil seal regularly and replace them if necessary, in order to maintain the machine in a perfect condition. Check periodically that the air grills are not closed up. Never use the machine if the power cord is damaged. An Authorised After Sales Agent should only replace it. Page 12
FAULT FINDING THE MACHINE DOES NOT START UP Check the following points: The machine is not properly plugged. Check if the plug is wrongly connected to the outlet. There has been a cut of the power supply. THE MACHINE STOPS Check the following points: There has been a cut. Stop and unplug the machine. Wait till the power comes back and restart the machine up. The motor is overloaded. Stop and unplug the machine and wait some minutes so that the motor can cool off. After a cooling off period it can be turned on again. ABNORMAL NOISE-VIBRATIONS Check the following points: Water has entered into the attachment. Dismount the parts following Point 5.2 and dry them next. Sealing parts to avoid leaks (the joints and/or the oil seal) are damaged. If so, replace them. The transmission parts (the shaft and the bushing) are damaged. If so, replace them. WARNING! If the problems persist, contact an Authorised After Sales Agent.
