RECOMMENDATIONS CONCERNING THE INSTALLATION OF VARIABLE-SPEED
APPLIANCES AND PERSONAL SAFETY
These recommendations apply to machines equip-
ped with an induction motor and a single-phase or
three-phase wobbulator.
NB:
-The electrical circuit and the protective devices
must comply with national regulations.
- The machine must be wired in by a qualified elec-
trician
Protecting your appliance
• Like all electronic devices, wobbulators in clude
components that are sensitive to electrostatic
discharges (ESDs). Before conducting any work
on these wobbulators, 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.
50 or 60 Hz single-phase power supply
• The appliance runs on single-phase or three-
phase current as far as the variator, which turns
the current into variable frequency 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-connec-
ted 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).
It is therefore advisable to use a GFCI that is
sensitive to impulse current (type A), identified by
the following symbol: or (B) .
Caution: sthese GFCIs may go under different
names, according to the manufacturer.
Appliances with wobbulators produce a fault
current on the earth wire. This current may be suffi-
cient to trip the differential circuit breaker unneces-
sarily. 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: As there are manufacturing tolerances,
the actual trip threshold of a GFCI will be between
50% and 100% of its theoretical nominal threshold.
Should a problem arise, measure the fault current
and the GFCI’s actual trip threshold.
You can begin by consulting the characteristics of
your appliance in the table below:
*Connection instructions:
To protect users, it is vital to connect the R 30 V.V.
and R 45 V.V. machines to the mains supply via a
connection unit equipped with the above-mentioned
residual current device. They must not be connected
through a plug and socket.

UNPACKING
• Carefully remove the equipment from the packaging
and take out all the boxes or packets containing
attachments or specific items.
• WARNING - some of the tools are very sharp e.g.
blades, discs... etc.
INSTALLATION
• We recommend you install your machine on a
perfectly stable solid base.
CONNECTION
• Always check that your mains supply corresponds
to that indicated on the identification plate on the
motor unit and that it can withstand the amperage.
• The machine must be earthed.
• With the three-phase version, always check that the
blade rotates in an anti-clockwise direction.
HANDLING
• Always take care when handling the blades, as
they are extremely sharp.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES
• Follow the various assembly procedures carefully
(see page 7) and make sure that all the attachments
are correctly positioned.
USE
• Never try to override the locking and safety
systems.
• Never insert an object into the container where the
food is being processed.
• Never push the ingredients down with your hand.
• Do not overload the appliance.
• Never switch the appliance on when it is empty.
• Wait until the blade comes to a complete stop
before opening the lid.
CLEANING
• As a precaution, always unplug your appliance
before cleaning it.
• Always clean the appliance and its attachments at
the end of each cycle.
• Never immerse the motor unit in water.
• For parts made from aluminum, use cleaning fluids
intended for aluminum.
• For plastic parts , do not use detergents that are too
alkaline (e.g., 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 cleaning
and hygiene.
MAINTENANCE
• Before servicing the Blixer, it must be disconnected
from the power supply.
• 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
corrosive agents, e.g. citric acid.
• Never operate the appliance if the power cord
or plug has been damaged or if the appliance fails
to work properly or has been damaged in any way.
• Do not hesitate to contact your local Maintenance
Service if something appears to be wrong.
WARNING: In order to limit accidents such as electric shocks or personal injury, 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 entirety and make sure that anyone else who

CLEANING
• BOWL
Once the bowl is empty, return it to its vertical
position, close the lid and run the machine at the
2nd speed (3,000 rpm). This will clear the blades
of any food residue. You can also preclean the
bowl by pouring in a few litres of hot water, then
running the machine for a few minutes at the 2nd
speed.
As all the electrical parts are watertight, this
machine is extremely easy to clean. It can be
washed daily with a hand shower spray (never use
a power washer).
If you are not intending to use your appliance for a
while, remember not to lock the bowl into position,
to avoid unnecessary wear of the seals.
• BLADES
The blade assembly must be taken apart in order to
thoroughly clean each part.
As a precaution, always unplug your appliance
before cleaning it (hazard of electrocution) and
handle the blades with care (hazard of injury).
WARNING
All metal parts should be wiped dry,
especially the blades, to prevent surface
oxidation.
IMPORTANT
These operations are vital for ensuring optimum
blade assembly hygiene.
The vertical cutter-mixer has numerous other
applications. The above quantities are given for
guidance only and may vary according to the
quality of ingredients or the recipe.
• BLIXER®
The Blixer will enable you to perform all your cutting
tasks in minimum time. We recommend therefore,
that you keep a close eye on the mixture in order to
obtain the desired results.

Dismantling the blade assembly
- Lift the blade assembly
out of the appliance.
- Remove the bowl.
- Place the blade remover
on the motor shaft.
- Put the blade assembly back in position.
- Loosen the screw using the stem.
- Dismantle the blade assembly by hand.
- To reassemble the blades, follow these instructions
in the reverse order.
- Make sure you tighten the screw properly after
reassembling the blades, in order to prevent the
latter coming loose.
• LID
For perfect hygiene, remove the washer, cone and
lid rest so that they can each be carefully cleaned.
We advise against putting them in the dishwas-
her. Instead, wash them by hand with a little was-
hing-up liquid.
If you are not intending to use your appliance for a
while, leave the lid open to avoid wear and tear of
the seals.
Removing the lid seal
➊ - Unhook the lid from the arm.
➋ - Put the lid the wrong way round on the bowl.
➌ - Start to set the seal
at the hinge side. Hold
firmly the seal with the
thumb and the index
finger and insert it in the
lid groove.

MAINTENANCE
• BLADES
After each task, we strongly recommend you
sharpen the blades briefly with a sharpening stone,
especially after chopping parsley.
Sharpen them thoroughly once a month with the
fine-textured sharpening stone supplied with the
appliance.
The quality of the cut depends mainly on the
sharpness of your blades and their degree of
wear. The blades are wearing parts which should
be replaced from time to time, in order to ensure
constant quality of the finished product.
• AXIAL TIGHTNESS SYSTEM:
The tightness system
consists of a stainless
steel part ➊which
supports a stainless-
steel deflector ➋, a
seal ➌, a centring ring
➍and a flange ➎
which holds the parts
securely in place.
Check that your detergent is suitable for
cleaning the plastic parts. Certain 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.

• BOWL SEAL
The bowl seal, located between
the bowl and the bushing,
ensures that the bowl remains
watertight.
The bowl seal must be regularly
oiled, using food-grade silicone
lubricant.
This part must be replaced each year, as the
watertightness of the bowl depends on its degree of
wear and tear.
In order to make it easier for you to clean your
appliance, the bowl watertightness system is located
on the underside of the bowl.
As a result, there is a small area in which bits of
food may collect. The bowl seal must be cleaned
once a week.
• LID SEAL
he lid is designed to be completely watertight within
the limits set out on page 15 (see examples of use).
In order to ensure that it remains that way, you may
have to change the seal occasionally, depending on
how regularly you use your machine.
Bowl seal
• V-RING SEALS
In order to ensure that the motor remains
completely watertight, we recommend checking
the state of wear and tear of the lip seals every
three months and replacing them every 6 months
maximum.
When the seals are worn, liquid may first run into
the bearings, then reach the motor. If this happens,
the seals, the bearings and even the motor may
have to be replaced.
- Replacing the lip seals
10) Put the
deflector on first.
11) Check that
the seal has been
inserted properly.
12) Put the lip seal
on. Make sure it
facing the right way:
groove towards the
deflector.
13) Put the centring
ring on.
14) Put the flange
and screws back on.
15) Grease the lips
of the seal (food-
safe grease).
18) It’s done !16) The tightness
system is now as
good as new.
17) Put back the
bowl, pouring lip on
left hand side
7) The stainless steel
part has now been

If you do not use your machine regularly, we
recommend that you leave the lid open when it is
not in use jobs to preserve all these features
• BLIXER ARM
The scraper arm is fitted with a small rubber paddle
and a silicone lid wiper which are wearing parts.
These are wearing parts, which therefore need to
be replaced from time to time in order to maintain
optimum efficiency. The wipers are easy both to
remove and to fit.
