INTRODUCTION TO
YOUR NEW R 2
TABLE-TOP CUTTER MIXER
The R 2 is perfectly geared to professional needs. It
can perform any number of tasks, which you will
gradually discover as you use it.
This machine can be used to process meat, vegetables,
fine stuffing, mousse, grinding, kneading,… in less
than 5 minutes for even the longest tasks.
Its numerous functions will open the door to a whole
new culinary world.
Thanks to its simple design, all components requi-
ring frequent handling for maintenance or cleaning
can be fitted and removed in a trice.
This manual contains important information
designed to help the user get the most out of his or
her cutter device.
We therefore recommend that you read it carefully
before using your machine.
We have also included a few examples to help you
get the feel of your new machine and appreciate its
numerous advantages.
SWITCHING ON
THE MACHINE
• ADVICE ON ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before plugging in, check that your power supply
corresponds to that indicated on the machine’s
identification plate.
The R 2 is fitted with various types of motors :
230 V / 50 Hz /1
115 V / 60 Hz /1
220 V / 60 Hz /1
The machine comes with a single phase plug
connected to a power cord.
• CONTROL PANEL
Red switch = Off switch
Green switch = On switch
Black switch = Pulse control
ASSEMBLY
3) Engage the blade on
the motor shaft and
lower it right to the bot-
tom of the bowl.
Make sure that it is
correctly positioned, by
rotating it in the bowl.
4) Place the lid on the
bowl and rotate to the
right until it clicks.
The device is now ready
for use.
USES
AND EXAMPLES
The cutter 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.
The pulse control allows you to stop and start the
machine for high-precision control when working
with certain types of ingredients.
The R 2 has numerous other applications. The
above quantities and times are approximate and
may vary according to the quality of the ingredients
and recipes.
WARNING
This appliance must be plugged into an
earthed socket (risk of electrocution).

OPTION
Aserrated blade is available as an option and is
mainly intended for kneading and grinding.
Aslightly serrated blade is also available. This
blade has the same function as a straight blade.
It has been conceived for a longer lasting cut
performance but with no sharpening possibility.
We advise you to use this blade mainly to chop
parsley.
CLEANING
• MOTOR BASE
Never immerse the motor base in water. Clean
using a damp cloth or sponge.
• BOWL CUTTER
After removing the lid, remove the bowl from
the motor base by rotating it to the left. Pull up to
disengage, leaving the blade in the bowl in order to
prevent any spillage when working with liquids.
If 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.

WARNING
As a precaution, always unplug your
appliance before cleaning it (risk of
electrocution).
If you wish, you can rinse the bowl by filling it with
hot water and switching on for a few minutes.
• BLADE
After cleaning the blade, always dry the blades well
to prevent rusting.
IMPORTANT
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.
MAINTENANCE
• BLADE
The quality of the cut depends mainly on the
sharpness of your blades and the degree of wear.
The blade is, in effect, a wearing part, and has to
be replaced every so often in order to ensure
consistently good results.
• MOTOR SEAL
The motor seal on the shaft should be lubricated
regularly using a food safe lubricant.
In order to keep the motor completely watertight, it
is advisable to check the motor seal regularly for
wear and tear and replace if necessary.

16
• BOWL LOCATING PLATES
If these plates wear out, the bowl will no longer be
securely attached to the otor base.
This akes it awkward to use since the bowl can
co e loose during processing.
There is no risk to the user however, because the
safety syste will auto atically stop the achine.
It is advisable therefore to change these plates in
order to ensure axi u ease of use.
