INTRODUCTION TO YOUR
NEW POWER MIXER
Robot-Coupe has developed a whole range of
power mixer. Their technical characteristics are
shown in the table below.
The simple design of these appliances allows the
assembly and dismantling of the moving parts in no
time at all, to ease maintenance and cleaning.
These instructions contain important information
that will enable you to extract the greatest return on
your investment.
We therefore strongly advise you to read
these instructions carefully before using the
appliance.
SWITCHING ON
THE APPLIANCE
• ADVICE ON ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

matches that shown on the identification plate of
your appliance.
Robot-Coupe supplies these models with different
types of motors:
230 V / 50 Hz for power supplies of:
220 to 240 V.
120 V / 60 Hz.
220 V / 60 Hz.

Litres
These models are working tools that are perfectly
suited to the needs of their users. The mixer func-
tion will allow you to make soups, vegetable purées
and pulps without any problem, while you will find
that the whisk function is ideal for making pancake
batter, mayonnaise, beaten egg whites, chocolate
mousse, butter sauces, whipped cream or smooth
fromage frais.
The whisk attachment is equipped with a metallic
gear box with a plastic body, even more resistant
when processing preparations such as pan cakes.
The variable-speed function will enable you to
adjust the speed to suit each preparation and to
start the processing at a lower speed in order to
reduce splashing.
CMP ANGLAIS:CMP FRANCAIS 8/04/08 15:25 Page 6

Whisk function : speed between 500 and 1800
rpm.
Mixer function : speed between 2300 and 9600
rpm.
It is advisable to start at a low speed when using
the whisk.
With the self-regulating speed system, once you
have selected a speed, it will remain constant, even
if the consistency of your mixture changes.
WORKING POSITION
• BLADE FUNCTION
For greater control, we
recommend that you
hold the power mixer by
the handle and the
bottom of motor unit.
Furthermore, we recom-
mend that you tilt the
power mixer at a slight
angle to prevent the bell
from touching the bot-
tom of the container.
The power mixer can
equally be rested
against the rim of the
container, but must be
tilted, and the bell must
not touch the bottom of
the container.
7
Always make sure that the bell is sufficiently
immersed to avoid splashing and that the air vents
of the motor unit does not come into contact with
any liquid.
For optimum efficiency, two thirds of the foot should
be immersed in the preparation.
• WHISK FUNCTION
You can also hold the
appliance by the handle
with one hand, leaving
the other hand free
to hold the bowl, if
necessary.
While you process the
preparation, we recom-
mend that you move the
whisks around in the
bowl, in order to ensure
that the mixture is com-
pletely homogeneous.
We strongly advise you
to keep the whisks from
touching the sides of the
bowl. For maximum
efficiency, at least one-
fifth of the whisk length
should be immersed.
We also strongly advise
you to start the proces-
sing at a low speed.

• BLADES
The blades can be removed from the bell for
thorough cleaning.
Always dry the blades thoroughly after cleaning to
avoid spotting.
• WHISK HOLDER
Never immerse the whisk holder in water. Clean it
with a slightly damp cloth or sponge.
Never clean the whisk holder in a dishwasher.
• WHISKS
The whisks can be cleaned either by hand or in a
dishwasher.
To ensure effective cleaning, we advice you to
remove the whisk ejector.
• WHISKS
The success of your preparation will depend essen-
tially on the state of the metal wires and their
amount of wear and tear. They should therefore be
replaced from time to time in order to ensure opti-
mum quality of the finished product.
• FOOT SEAL
In order to maintain a perfect watertight seal
between the foot and the bell it is necessary to
check the wear of the seal regularly and replace it if
necessary.
• WASHER
The washer can be greased using a suitable food
safe lubricant.
In order to maintain a perfect watertightness it is
necessary to check the wear of the washer, and if
necessary, to replace it.
After using the power mixer in a hot preparation,
cool the bottom of the foot in cold water before
dismantling the bell from the foot.
After completion of preparation, clean immediately
to prevent food from sticking to surfaces.
• MOTOR UNIT
Never put the motor unit and its handle in water,
clean them with a damp cloth or a sponge.
• FOOT AND BELL
It is possible to proceed in two ways:
• Simple cleaning procedure
- Place the foot and bell into a suitable container
with water and switch on for a few seconds to
clean the bell and the foot.
- After unplugging the appliance - essential -,
making sure that no water finds its way into the foot,
detach the bell from the foot to avoid a build-up
of condensation.
• Complete cleaning procedure
- Unplug the power mixer.
- Rinse the bell under the tap.
- Remove the bell from the foot, then remove the
blades. Be careful to avoid damaging the surface
of the blade shaft and the watertight seals. Do not
use too strong a detergent when cleaning the parts.
- Ensure that all the different parts are thoroughly
dried before reassembly.
MAINTENANCE
• BLADES
The performance of the cut essentially depends on
the state of your blades and their wear. The blades
are subject to wear and as such need to be
replaced from time to time to ensure the consistent
quality of the end product.
You are also advised to change, at the same time,
the washer and the watertight seals.

Check that your detergent is suitable for
cleaning plastic parts. Some washing agents
are too alkaline (e.g. high levels of caustic soda
or ammonia) and totally incompatible with
certain types of plastic, causing them to deterio-
rate rapidly.
IMPORTANT WARNING
From time to time, check:
- The state of the 3 buttons’ watertight
membranes. Even the tiniest cracks will allow
liquid to seep in.
- The state of the blender housing. This, should
not show any signs of cracking or any
abnormal openings which could allow access
to the live components.
