A MINI POWER MIXER
The Mini MP 160 V.V., Mini MP 190 V.V., Mini
MP 240 V.V., Mini MP 190 Combi and Mini MP
240 Combi models are the latest additions to
Robot-Coupe’s range of power mixer. They have
been specially designed for processing smaller
quantities. They are equipped with a foot, a blade
and an Aeromix tool all fully detachable Their tubes
measure 160, 190 and 240 mm long respectively.
Each power mixer is supplied with a wall support
for easy storage.
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 V to 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.
Whisk function (Mini MP 190 Combi, Mini MP 240
Combi): speed between 350 and 1,560 rpm.
For making mashed potatoes, you need to process
at low speed for a good quality result.
Mixer function (Mini MP 160 V.V., Mini MP 190 V.V.,
Mini MP 240 V.V., Mini MP 190 Combi, Mini MP
240 Combi): speed between 2,000 and 12,500 rpm.
It is advisable to start at a low speed when using the
whisk.
With the self-regulating speed system, once you
have selected a speed, it will remain constant, even
if the consistency of your mixture changes.
These power mixer are tools which are totally adap-
ted to the needs of professionals. They will enable
you to make soups, vegetables purées and cereal
preparations without any effort.
The whisk function is ideal for making pancake
batter, mayonnaise, beaten egg whites, chocolate
mousse, butter sauces, whipped cream or smooth
fromage frais.
The whisk is composed with a metallic gear box
even more resistant when processing pan cakes or
mashed potatoes.
The variable-speed function will enable you to ad-
just the speed to suit each preparation and to start
the processing at a lower speed in order to reduce
splashing.

USES & EXAMPLES
The mixer function carries out all types of mixing
in small quantities in a minimum of time, and we
thus recommend you to supervise carefully all food
preparations in order to obtain the best results.
- As you push the whisk into the gear box drive
shaft C, rotate it slightly in order to slot the drive
lugs into the notches Eof the drive shaft C,
thereby locking the whisk into place inside the
shaft.
- To check that the whisk is properly fixed inside
the shaft C, gently tug the metal wires.
- Repeat this procedure with the second whisk. If
you cannot push it in properly, remove it, rotate it
90° and start again.
Removing the whisks from the gear box
Pull the ejector
A
in
direction to the arrow,
gripping the ejector in
one hand and the holder
B
in the other.
The foot, blade, Aeromix tool (patented system
exclusive to Robot-Coupe) and whisk can all
be removed for easy aftercare and cleaning,
ensuring impeccable food safety.
