NOTE: 1- Among other protections, the machine is
equipped with two manual reset overload circuit-
breakers. If the machine is overloaded or run too
long under heavy load conditions then the circuit-
breakers will trip. If this occurs, first remove the
attachment and reduce the amount of food being
processed. The reset buttons are located on the
bottom right rear corner of the motor base. Press
the button in to reset the overload circuit-breakers.
It is that the machine be operated no longer than 9
minutes of continuous run time and should be operated
on a 50% duty cycle. This is easily accomplished since
the preparation time (cleaning, coring, peeling, and
loading) takes longer than the processing time. This will
increase the life of your machine.
2- The machine will automatically stop after 9
minutes if no action is performed (examples: speed
change or lid opening).
3- The auxiliary fan will stop 2 minutes after the
machine is switched off.
• BOWL ATTACHMENT:
General:
When used with the cutter bowl attachment, the unit
speed is can selected betwen 850 and 1,725 rpm.
Your Robot-Coupe food processor will enable you
to perform all your cutting tasks in a minimum time;
we recommend therefore that you keep a close eye
on the mixture in order to obtain the desired results.
With the attachment and blade secured in place
(per previous instructions), you are now ready to
add product to the attachment. Learn to operate
the machine using a start-stop or pulse motion so
the consistency of the product can be controlled.
Remember, it is important to start with uniform
pieces for uniform results.
Do not fill the bowl with any solid food over ¾full
nor with any liquid food above the tube in center of
the bowl.
Prepare your products by cutting them into equally
sized portions (2 inches) and your end product will
be more consistent. In all cases when processing
frozen products the size of the product should not
exceed 1 inch.
To get the best results it is very important not to put
too much foodstuff in the bowl (see table on the
next page) and to set the speed to the value that
suits the nature and the consistency of the food
being processed. There are two ways to run your
machine: Chopping by using a quick Start/Stop
action ("Pulse") or running continuously for a fine
chop or puree.
A "Pulse" consists of starting the motor by pressing
the Pulse button (black) for 2 to 3 seconds, then
releasing the button for 3 additional seconds. This
mode of use allows an easy control of the achieved
consistency and do not overload the machine
uselessly.
• BOWL ATTACHMENT GENERAL USES:
CAUTION: bowl filled to proper level food will
form a vortex to rotate food material around the
bowl. If the vortex is not formed, food in bottom
of the bowl will process but food above the blade
will not process.
1. TO CHOP: To achieve a chopped consistency for
vegetables, meats, cheese, etc... fill the bowl not
more than to ¾full with portions no larger than 1
to 2 inch square (¼full for meats, cheeses and very
dense products). Select the high speed. Operate the
machine with Pulses until the desired consistency is
reached. If the motor stalls, reduce the amount of
product in the bowl.
2. TO PUREE OR FINE CHOP: For a fine puree,
emulsification, or fine chop, fill the bowl not more
than to ¾full with portions no larger than 1
to 2 inches square. With high speed set, turn the
machine on and allow to run a short time until
the product is finely chopped, stay in high gear to
finish. Some purees may require the addition of a
liquid to obtain the correct consistency.
3. TO CHOP HARD CHEESE: Place uniform portions
no larger than 1 to 2 inches square of chilled cheese
into the bowl and operate the machine with Pulses.
For powdered cheese do the same until the cheese
is about pea size, then allow the motor to run
continuously until you have a fine powder.
4. TO CHOP ONIONS, CELERY, CABBAGE, ETC.:
Quarter onions and cut other vegetables into 2 to
3 inches portions. Place the product into the bowl,
maximum up to ¾full and pulse the unit until you
reach the desired consistency.
CAUTION: If you turn the unit on and let it run too
long the bottom blade will puree the ingredients
and the top blade will be of little value leaving an
uneven consistency.
5. TO PUREE OR MIX: To puree, make sauces, or to
mix and blend, place the ingredients into the bowl,
turn the unit on, and allow to run continuously.
6. TO MAKE MAYONNAISE: Add the following to
the bowl: 6 eggs, 3 tsp. of salt, 3 tsp. of sugar,
tsp. of dry mustard, a pinch of white pepper, and a
pinch of red pepper. Turn the unit on at Low speed.
Begin adding 2 qt. of oil pouring very slowly through
the Lid hole allowing the stream of oil to fall on the
top of the cutter blade. When you have added ½
of the oil, pour in 4 oz. of vinegar and the balance
of the oil. After all of the oil has been added let the
machine run for 20 seconds longer. The mayonnaise
is now homogenized. Quantities may be adjusted
proportionally to the bowl size.
