RECOMMENDA IONS CONCERNING HE INS ALLA ION OF VARIABLE-SPEED
APPLIANCES AND PERSONAL SAFE Y
These recommendations apply to machines equip-
ped with an induction motor and a single-phase
wobbulator.
NB :
- The electrical circuit and the protective device
mu t comply with national regulation .
- The machine mu t be wired in by a qualified
electrician
Protecting your appliance
• Like all electronic devices wobbulators include com-
ponents that are sensitive to electrostatic discharges
(ESDs). Before conducting any work on these wob-
bulators technicians must therefore rid themselves
of electrostatic charges.
• The machine must be disconnected from the
mains supply before any internal connection ope-
rations are carried out.
• Repeatedly switching on the appliance will cause
the wobbulator to overload and may result in its
destruction. After the machine has been switched
off you must wait for 3 minutes before switching
it back on again.
Wiring
• The appliance requires single-phase* current as
far as the wobbulator which turns the latter into
variable-speed three-phase current to supply the
motor.
• You must connect the machine to a 200-240 V / 50
or 60 Hz single-phase* alternating current supply
with an earthed socket. A higher voltage will
destroy the wobbulator.
• The earthed socket ensures operator safety.
Circuit interrupters ensuring user safety
Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) intended
for variable-speed appliances need to be selected
with great care in order to ensure operator safety.
GFCIs may be sensitive to alternating current
(type AC) impulse current (type A) or all currents
(type B).
Danger ! Wobbulators feature a bridge-connected
rectifier of the mains supply voltage. For this
reason in the event of an earth contact a
continuous fault current may fail to trip a differential
circuit breaker that is only sensitive to alternating
current (type AC).
As the appliance has a single-phase* supply it is
therefore advisable to use a GFCI that is sensitive to
impulse current (type A) identified by the following
symbol : .
Caution :the e GFCI may go under different
name , according to the manufacturer.
Appliances with wobbulators produce a fault
current on the earth wire. This current may be
sufficient to trip the differential circuit breaker
unnecessarily. This may occur if :
• Several variable-speed appliances are connected
to the same GFCI.
• The appliance produces a fault current that is
above the GFCI’s actual trip threshold.
Caution : A there are manufacturing tolerance ,
the actual trip thre hold of a GFCI will be between
50% and 100% of it theoretical nominal thre hold.
Should a problem ari e, mea ure the fault current
and the GFCI’ actual trip thre hold.
You can begin by consulting the characteristics of
your appliance in the table below :

WARNING: In order to limit accidents such as electric shocks, personal injury or fire, and in order to limit material damage due to misuse
of the appliance, please read these instructions carefully and follow them strictly. Reading the operating instructions will help you get to
know your appliance and enable you to use the equipment correctly. Please read these instructions in their entirely and make sure that
anyone else who may use the mixer also reads them beforehand.
IMPOR AN WARNING
UNPACKING
• Carefully remove the equipment from the packa-
ging and take out all the boxes or packets containing
attachments or specific items.
• WARNING - some of the tools are very sharp e.g.
blade... etc.
INS ALLA ION
• We recommend you install your machine on a per-
fectly stable solid base.
CONNEC ION
• Always check that your mains supply corresponds
to that indicated on the rating plate on the motor unit
and that it can take the amperage.
• The machine must be earthed.
• With the three-phased version always check that
the blade rotates in an anti-clockwise direction.
HANDLING
• Always take care when handling the blades or
discs - they are very sharp.

• Never switch the appliance on while it is empty.
CLEANING
• As a precaution always unplung your appliance
before cleaning it.
• Always clean the appliance and its attachments at
the end of each cycle.
• Never place the motor unit in water.
• For parts made of aluminum alloys use cleaning
fluids suitable for aluminum.
• For plastic parts do not use detergents that are too
alkaline (i.e. containing too much caustic soda or
ammonia...)
• Robot-Coupe can in no way be held responsible
for the user’s failure to follow the basic rules of clea-
ning and hygiene.
MAIN ENANCE
• Before opening the motor housing it is absolutely
vital unplung the appliance.
• Check the seals and washers regularly and ensure
that the safety devices are in good working order.
• It is particularly important to maintain and check
the attachments since certain ingredients contain cor-
rosive agents e.g. citric acid.
• Never operate the appliance if the power cord
or plug has been damaged in any way or if the ap-
pliance fails to work properly or has been damaged
in any way.
• Do not hesitate to contact your local Maintenance
Department if something appears to be wrong.

IN RODUC ION O YOUR
NEW EMULSIFIER-MIXER
BLIXER®2 • BLIXER®3 •
BLIXER®4 • BLIXER®4 V.V.
ROBOT-COUPE has developed a new concept in
appliances: the BLIXER®.
The BLIXER®combines the features of two well-known
appliances: the cutter and the blender-mixer.
The BLIXER®is perfectly geared to professional
needs. It can perform any number of tasks which
you will soon discover as you use it.
The BLIXER®will make it easy to prepare mixed
liquid or semi-liquid raw or cooked meals.
The BLIXER®replaces the blender which has never
been entirely satisfactory because it cannot process
solid foods.
Thanks to its simple design all components requiring
frequent handling for maintenance or cleaning can
be fitted and removed quickly.
To make things easier for you this manual gives a
breakdown of all the various fitting operations.
This manual contains important information
designed to help the user get the most out of the
emulsifier-mixer BLIXER®.
