IMPORTAN T WARN IN G
UN PACKIN G
• Carefully remove the equipment from the packa-
ging and take out all the boxes or packets containing
attachments or specific items.
• WARN ING - some of the tools are very sharp e.g.
blade, discs... etc.
IN STALLATION
• We recommend you install your machine on a per-
fectly stable solid base.
CON N ECTION
• Always check that your mains supply corresponds
to that indicated on the rating plate on the motor unit
and that it can take the amperage.
• The machine must be earthed.
• W ith the three-phased version, always check that
the blade rotates in an anti-clockwise direction.
HAN DLIN G
• Always take care when handling the blades or
discs - they are very sharp.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES
• Follow the various assembly procedures carefully
(see page 6) and make sure that all the attachments
are correctly positioned.
USE
• N ever try to override the locking and safety sys-
tems.
• N ever introduce any object into the container
where the food is being processed.
• N ever push the ingredients down with your hand.
• Do not overload the appliance.
• N ever switch the appliance on while it is empty.
CLEAN IN G
• As a precaution, always unplung your appliance
before cleaning it.

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, vege-
tables, 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 requiring
frequent handling for maintenance or cleaning can
be fitted and removed in a trice.
To make things easier for you, this manual gives a
breakdown of all the various fitting operations.
This manual contains important information designed
to help the user get the most out of his or her bowl
cutter/ vegetable preparation 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.

• ADVICE ON ELECTRICAL CON N N ECTION S
Before plugging in, check that your power supply cor-
responds to that indicated on the machine’s
identification plate.
THREE PHASE R5 Plus - R6
The R5 Plus/ R6 come with different types of
motor : 230 x 400 V / 50 Hz / 3
400 V / 50 Hz / 3
220 V / 60 Hz / 3
380 V / 60 Hz / 3
This machine is supplied with a cable to which you
simply attach the appropriate electrical plug or isola-
tor for your system. The cable has four wires, one
earth wire, plus three phases 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.
If you have more than 4 pins in the plug, please
note the ROBOT-COUPE does not require a neutral
wire.
Switch on the empty machine, making sure that
the blade is rotating properly in an anti-clockwise
direction.
On the motor unit and on the lid a arrow marks the
blade rotation directions.
If the blade turns in a clockwise direction, swap over
two wires.

• W O RKIN G HEIGHT
We recommend that you position the food processor on
a stable worktop so that the upper edge of the large feed
hopper is at a height of between 1.20 m and 1.30 m.
• N O ISE LEVEL
The equivalent continuous sound level when the food
processor is operating on no-load is less than
70 db (A).

The cutter will enable your to perform all your cutting
tasks in minimum time; we recommend therefore, that
you keep a close eye on the mixture in order to ob-
tain the desired results.

stainless steel straight blade knife that is fully
removable and can be fitted with serrated blades.
- Flat motor base for easier fitting and cleaning of at-
tachments.
- Models R5 Plus and R6 (three-phase) are provided
with two speeds 1500 and 3000 Rpm.
- Model R5 Plus (single-phase) is provided with one
speed of 1.500 Rpm.
- Models R5 V.V. and R6 V.V. are equipped with a
speed variation which varies between 300 and
3.000 Rpm to ensure more flexible use and give a
wide range of tasks.
- Machines in compliance with strictest hygiene and
safety standards.
• PACKAGIN G
The packaging for these models has been specially

and switch on the machine in order to remove any
mixture which may have stuck to the blade.
If you wish, you can rinse the bowl by filling it with
hot water and switching on for a few minutes.

• MOTOR SEAL
The motor sea l on the sha ft should be lubrica ted re-
gula rly using a food sa fe lubrica nt.
In order to keep the motor completely wa tertight, it is
a dvisa ble to check the motor sea l regula rly for wea r

before opening the lid.
All the models a re fitted with a the rma l cut-out which
a utoma tica lly stops the motor if the ma chine is left on
