Installation and start-up
- Place the machine on a level floor.
- Plug the cable on the electrical panel into a 220 V mains socket.
- Connect the compressed air hose to the air inlet fitting on the pneumatic panel.
- Turn the MAIN SWITCH on the electrical panel to position “1”.
- Fill the çiğ köfte feed hopper with enough köfte mix.
- Turn the selector switch on the panel to “AUTOMATIC”.
