RECOMMENDATIONS CONCERNING THE INSTALLATION OF VARIABLE-SPEED
APPLIANCES AND PERSONAL SAFETY
• 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).
It is therefore advisable to use a GFCI that is sensitive
to impulse current (type A), identified by the following
symbol: .
Caution: these 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 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: 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:

These recommendations apply to machines equipped
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
electrician.
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 operations
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.

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
may use the appliance also reads them beforehand. Our equipment is designed for professional use and must not be used by children under
any circumstances.
IMPORTANT WARNING
UNPACKING
• Carefully remove the equipment from the packa-
ging and take out all the boxes or packets contai-
ning attachments or specific items.
• WARNING - some of the tools are very sharp
e.g. blade, 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 or
discs - they are very sharp.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES
• Follow the various assembly procedures carefully
(see page 8) and make sure that all the attachments
are correctly positioned.
USE
• Do not open the lid until the motor has come to a
complete stop.
• Never tamper with the locking and safety systems.
• Never put a hand object in the bowl while the
machine is operating.
• Never force the ingredients down with your
hands.
• Do not overload the machine.
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
cleaning and hygiene.
MAINTENANCE
• Before opening the motor housing, it is absolutely
vital to 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
corrosive 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.

The machine is supplied with a cable to which you
simply attach the appropriate electrical plug for your
system or wire to your isolator box, if wiring to an
isolator box this should be undertaken by a qualified
electrician. The cable has four wires, one earth wire,
plus three phase wires.
If you have a 4-pin plug:
1) Connect the green and yellow earth wire to the
earth pin.
2) Connect the three other wires to the remaining
pins.
As ROBOT-COUPE doesn’t require a neutral
connection, if you have a five-pin plug, the central
pin will not be used.
Switch on the empty machine, making sure that
the blade is rotating properly in an anti-clockwise
direction.
If this is not the case, contact your technical support
service.

ASSEMBLY
• MACHINE
1) With the motor base facing
you, position the bowl on the
motor shaft so that the handle
on your left is near the control
panel.
2) Pressing down on the
handles, turn the bowl firmly
in an anticlockwise direction
until it locks into place.
3) Position the blade mounted
on the motor shaft. Then rotate
it so that it is lowered right
down to the bottom of the
bowl. Always check that the
blade is correctly positioned
at the bottom of the bowl
before adding the ingredients
to be processed.
The R 8 is supplied with a smooth 2-blade assembly.
The R 10, 15 and 20 are supplied with a smooth
3-blade assembly.
The Blixer®8 is supplied with a fine-serrated 2-blade
assembly.
The Blixer®10, 15 and 20 models are supplied with
a fine-serrated 3-blade assembly.
• If the lid parts are already assembled:
4) Place the lid assembly in
the correction position. Next,
insert the metal pin as far as
it will go.
• If the lid parts have not been assembled:
4) Position the end of the lid arm in the hinge. Next,
insert the metal pin as far as it will go (photo 1). Push
the lid guide through the lid arm hole and screw the
cone into the top of the guide (photo 2). Clip the lid
onto the guide and turn it so that the dimples are
beneath the lid arm (photo 3).
12 3
• BLADE (Cutter only - see diagram, page 15)
For fine stuffing, mousse and emulsions, use the
smooth blades.
There should not be any rings between the base of the
blade holder and the lower blade.
You must always insert the small ring between the
blade holder base and the lower blade (bowl base
assembly) before carrying out mincing tasks. In order
to control the mincing process and prevent the meat
from overheating, always use the «pulse» switch
(coarse mincing assembly).
For grinding or kneading, use serrated blades and do
not fit any rings between the lower blade and the base
of the blade shaft.
Use fine serrated blades to chop parsley and do not
insert any rings between the blade holder base and
the lower blade.
WARNING
There is a green safety indicator light on the
control panel of the motor unit. If this green
light does not come on, consult the relevant
paragraph. A flashing green light means that the
conditions for the safe operation of the machine
have not all been met. Check that the bowl, lid
arm and lid are all correctly positioned. As soon
as the light stops flashing and stays on, you can
use your machine.
5) Close the lid by securing
the locking hook to the edge
of the bowl and pushing the
handle down.
The machine is now ready
for operation.
The green indicator light
should be on.
