Your Metcalfe Hand Operated Potato Chipping Machine has a detachable
upper block, thus making the cleaning and/or interchanging of the block,
frame & knives an easy and hygienic task.
To remove the knife frame, unscrew the two knurled knobs (anti-clockwise)
and remove.
When re-assembling, fit the knife frame back onto the machine, ensuring that
the lip on the frame is positioned to the front of the machine, screw down tight
both knurled knobs (clockwise).
To remove upper block, unscrew the red “T” knob at the front of the machine
(anti-clockwise) and pull down block. The block can be cleaned and/or
interchanged.
When re-fitting 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. Tighten the red “T” knob
(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 in order to clear any remains of potato or starch.
Do not put any part of this machine in a dishwasher.
There are 5 different sets of block, frame & knives available i.e. to produce
either 8mm (5/16”), 10mm (3/8”), 12.5mm (½”) or 14mm (5.8”) chips, and an 8-
piece potato wedger.
8mm 10mm 14mm wedger
The 12.5mm is shown on the machine on the cover of this leaflet.
