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
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 include
components that are sensitive to electrostatic di-
scharges (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.
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 (GFC s) intended
for variable-speed appliances need to be selected
with great care in order to ensure operator safety.
GFC s 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 GFC 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 GFC .
• The appliance produces a fault current that is
above the GFC ’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 :

CLEANING
• MOTOR BASE
Never immerse the motor base in water. Clean
using a damp cloth or sponge.
• CUTTER
After removing the lid, remove the bowl from the
motor base by pushing the trigger fitted in the
handle. Pull up to disengage, leaving the blade in
the bowl in order to prevent any spillage when
working with liquids.
f 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.
f you wish, you can rinse the bowl by filling it with
hot water and switching on for a few minutes.
• BLADE
The stainless steel blade of R 6 - R 6 V.V. is easy to
dismantle and to clean.
After cleaning the blade, always dry the blades well
to prevent rusting.
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 motor seal on the shaft should be lubricated
regularly using a food safe lubricant.
n order to keep the motor completely watertight, it
is advisable to check the motor seal regularly for
wear and tear and replace if necessary.
The motor seal can be easily replaced without
having to remove the motor, so we strongly advise
you to ensure that is in good condition.

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 (hazard of
electrocution) and handle the blades with
care (hazard of injury).
