YOU HAVE JUST PURCHASED
A MINI POWER MIXER
The new Mini MP 170 V.V. and Mini MP 220 V.V.
models are the latest additions to Robot-Coupe’s
range of power mixer. They have been specially
designed for processing smaller quantities. They are
fitted with a foot, blades and an emulsifying disc
which can be entirely dismantled, and their tubes
measure 170 and 220 mm long respectively.
These power mixer are tools which are totally adapted
to the needs of professionals. They will enable you
to make soups, vegetables purées and cereal
preparations without any effort.
The variable-speed function will enable you to
adjust the speed to suit each preparation and to
start the processing at a lower speed in order to
reduce splashing.
The simple design of these appliances allows the
assembly and dismantling of the moving parts in no
time at all, to ease maintenance and cleaning.
These instructions contain important information
that will enable you to extract the greatest return on
your investment.
We therefore strongly advise you to read these
instructions carefully before using the appliance.
SWITCHING ON
THE APPLIANCE
•ADVICE ON ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
This class II appliance (double insulation) requires
a single-phase alternating current but does not
need an earthed socket. The universal-type motor
is fitted with an interference suppressor.
The power supply must be protected by a
differential circuit breaker and a 10 A fuse.
Check that you have a standard 10/16 A
single-phase socket.
Make sure that the voltage of your power supply
matches that shown on the identification plate of
your appliance.
Robot-Coupe supplies these models with different
types of motors:
230 V / 50 Hz for power supplies
of : 220 à 240 V.
120 V / 60 Hz
220 V / 60 Hz
The power mixer is supplied with a single-phase
plug connected to a power cord.
OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
• STARTING AND STOPPING
1. Plug your appliance
into the mains, making
sure you do not press
the button (BC).
2. Insert the foot into
the preparation.
3. Press the control
button (BC), and the
power mixer will start
up.
4. To stop the power
mixer, release the
control button (BC).
• VARIABLE-SPEED OPERATION
Follow steps 1 to 4 above, then:
5. Change the speed of the motor by turning the
variable speed button (MV) towards the maximum
or minimum as required.
Variable-speed : Speed between 2000 and
12500 rpm.
With the self-regulating speed system, once you
have selected a speed, it will remain constant, even
if the consistency of your mixture changes.
WORKING POSITION
For a more ergonomic
approach, we recom-
mend that you hold the
handle of the appliance in
one hand and the contai-
ner in the other. It is a
good idea to lean forward
slightly, making sure that
the bell does not touch the
bottom of the container.
Always make sure that the
bell is sufficiently immersed to avoid splashing and
that the air vents of the motor unit does not come into
contact with any liquid.
For optimum efficiency, two thirds of the foot should
be immersed in the preparation.

IMPORTANT
MAINTENANCE
• BLADES
The performance of the cut essentially depends on
the state of your blades and their wear. The blades
are subject to wear and as such need to be replaced
from time to time to ensure the consistent quality of
the end product.
You are also advised to change, at the same time,
the washer and the watertight seals.
•FOOT SEAL
In order to maintain a perfect watertight seal between
the foot and the bell it is necessary to check the wear
of the seal regularly and replace it if necessary.
HYGIENE
The equipment must be clean at all stages of
production.
It is vital to clean the power mixer thoroughly between
each job using a detergent or disinfectant.
•N.B. NEVER USE PURE BLEACH
-Dilute the detergent/disinfectant following the
manufacturer’s instructions on the label.
-Scrub well if necessary.
-Leave the disinfectant/detergent to take effect if
necessary.
-Rinse thoroughly.
-Dry properly using a clean cloth.
CLEANING
WARNING
After using the power mixer in a hot preparation,
cool the bottom of the foot in cold water before
dismantling the bell from the foot.
After completion of preparation, clean immediately
to prevent food from sticking to surfaces.
•MOTOR UNIT
Never put the motor unit and its handle in water,
clean them with a damp cloth or a sponge.
•FOOT AND BELL
It is possible to proceed in two ways:
• Simple cleaning procedure
-Place the foot and bell into a suitable container
with water and switch on for a few seconds to
clean the bell and the foot.
-After unplugging the appliance – essential –,
making sure that no water finds its way into the foot.
-Detach the bell from the foot to avoid a build-up
of condensation.
• Complete cleaning procedure
-Unplug the power mixer.
-Rinse the bell under the tap.
-Remove the bell from the foot, then remove the
blades. Be careful to avoid damaging the surface
of the blade shaft and the watertight seals. Do not
use too strong a detergent when cleaning the parts.
-Ensure that all the different parts are thoroughly
dried before reassembly.
• BLADES AND EMULSIFYING DISC
In order to clean the appliance thoroughly, the
blades and the disc must be removed from the bell
beforehand.
After they have been cleaned, make sure you always
dry the disc or blades properly to avoid oxidation.
CATERING AND RESTAURANT WORK
•Soups, creamed soups
•Vegetable purees : carrots, spinach, celery,
turnips, French beans, etc.
•Mousses : vegetable, fish
•Fruit compotes
•Sauces : green, rouille, remoulade, cream
emulsions, tomato or parsley
•Bisques : langoustines and shellfish
•Pancake batter
The foot, the blades, Emulsifying disc can be

USES &
EXAMPLES
The Mini MP 170 V.V. and Mini MP 220 V.V. make
it possible to process smaller quantities in any
number of ways. As this takes very little time, we
advise you to keep a close eye on the preparation,
in order to obtain the desired result.
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).
