So you’ve just received your brand-new food machine . It’s shiny. It’s heavy. It came with a thick manual you may never read. But before you plug it in and press “start,” there are a few things you really should do first.
Here’s a simple, no-stress guide to get things running the right way from day one.
1. Unboxing with Care (And a Bit of Patience)
Before anything else, inspect the machine for shipping damage. Dents or loose parts should be reported immediately.
Next, gather all accessories, parts, and documentation. This may include belts, tools, spare screws, and a surprisingly helpful user manual. Don’t toss anything—it’s all important, even that little plastic bag you’re tempted to ignore.
2. Positioning It Properly (Not Just Where It Fits)
Your machine needs more than just floor space. Place it in a well-ventilated, dry area with enough clearance on all sides for cleaning and maintenance. Check for stable flooring and, if needed, level the machine using adjustable feet.
Never shove it in a corner. Food machines are like cats—they hate being boxed in.
3. Electrical Setup: Call a Pro
Even if you're handy with wires, connecting your food machine to the power supply should always be done by a qualified technician. Incorrect voltage or grounding can cause instant damage, void your warranty, or worse—trigger the smoke alarm before your first batch is done.
Once powered, run a dry test (no ingredients) to make sure all components move smoothly.
4. First Run: Start Small, Stay Calm
Before loading it with 50kg of batter or sauce, try a small test run. This helps you check portion sizes, heat levels, mixing speeds, and sealing pressure. Adjust settings gradually, and record what works best.
Congratulations! Your machine is alive and ready. Still looking for food machines that are easy to install and operate? We’ve got you covered at hg-machine .
