1) With the motor base
facing you, make sure
that the bowl is straight
in relation to the motor
shaft, with the safety pin
moved slightly to the left.
3) Engage the blade on
the motor shaft and
lower it right to the
bottom of the bowl.
Make sure that it is
correctly positioned, by
rotating it in the bowl.
2) Turn the bowl to the
right until the motor base
connectors are securely
positioned in their soc-
kets. The safety pin
should now be straight in
front of you, in contact
with the front of the mo-
tor base.
4) Place the lid on the
bowl so that the large
feed-hopper is facing
you. Rotate to the right
until it locks.
Once contact is made, your device is ready for use.
WARNING
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PLUGGED INTO
AN EARTHED SOCKET (RISK OF ELECTROCUTION).

machine for high-precision control when working
with certain types of ingredients.
The cutter version has numerous other applications.
The above quantities and times are approximate
and may vary according to the quality of the
ingredients and recipes.

two hoppers:
-one large hopper for cutting vegetables such as
cabbage, celeriac, etc.

OPTIONS
Aserrated blade is avai-
lable as an option and is
mainly intended for knea-
ding and grinding.
Aslightly serrated blade is
also available. This blade
has the same function as a
straight blade. It has been
conceived for a longer las-
ting cut performance but
with no sharpening possibi-
lity.
We advise you to use this blade mainly to chop
parsley.
CLEANING
MAINTENANCE
• BLADE
We strongly recommend that the blades (smooth
ones) are sharpened daily using sharpening stone
supplied with machine
The quality of the cut depends mainly on the
sharpness of your blades and the degree of wear.
The blades are actually wearing parts, which
should be replaced occasionally to ensure consistent
quality in the final product.
• MOTOR SEAL
The gasket on the motor shaft should be lubricated
regularly using a food safe lubricant.
In order to keep the motor completely watertight, it
is advisable to check the gasket regularly for wear
and tear and replace if necessary.
The gasket can be easily replaced without having to
remove the motor, so we strongly advise you to
ensure that it is in good running order.
• BOWL LOCATING PLATES
If these plates wear out, the bowl will no longer be
securely attached to the motor base.
This makes it awkward to use since the bowl can
come loose during processing.
There is no risk to the user however, because the
safety system will automatically stop the machine.
It is advisable therefore to change these plates in
order to ensure maximum ease of use.

• MOTOR BASE
Never immerse the motor base in water. Clean
using a damp cloth or sponge.
• BOWL CUTTER ATTACHMENT
After removing the lid, remove the bowl from
the motor base by rotating it to the left. Pull up to
disengage, leaving the blade in the bowl in order to
prevent any spillage when working with liquids.
If the food has a solid consistency, remove the blade
and empty the bowl.
Replace the bowl, place the blade back on the shaft
and switch on the machine in order to remove any
mixture which may have stuck to the blade.
If you wish, you can rinse the bowl by filling it with
hot water and switching on for a few minutes.
• VEGETABLE PREPARATION ATTACHMENT
After removing the lid, by rotating to the left, pull
out the disk by raising it by the edges. Next remove
the extension piece, then pull out the bowl by rota-
ting in a clockwise direction.
Next clean all the parts.
Whatever the attachment, we recommend that you
clean it by hand using washing-up liquid rather
than in a machine. This will help your machine to
last longer.
• BLADE
After cleaning the blade, always dry the blades
well.

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
deteriorate rapidly.
As a precaution, always unplug your appliance
before cleaning it (risk of electrocution).

17
SAFETY
The R 201 / R 201 Ultra is fitted with an electro-
mechanical safety system.
As soon as you open the lid, the motor stops.
To restart the machine, simply close the lid.
In order to avoid splash when processing liquid
preparation in the cutter bowl, we recommend you
to stop the machine before opening the lid.
The R 201 / R 201 Ultra is fitted with a thermal
cut-out which automatically stops the motor if the
machine is left on for too long or overloaded.
If this happens, allow the machine to cool comple-
tely before restarting.
