RECOMMENDATIONS CONCERNING THE INSTALLATION OF VARIABLE-SPEED
APPLIANCES AND PERSONAL SAFETY
• You must connect the machine to a 200-240 V
/ 50 or 60 Hz single-phase alternating current
supply with an earthed socket. A higher voltage will
destroy the wobbulator.
• The earthed socket ensures operator safety.
Circuit interrupters ensuring user safety
Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) intended for
variable-speed appliances need to be selected with
great care in order to ensure operator safety. GFCIs
may be sensitive to alternating current (type AC), im-
pulse current (type A) or all currents (type B).
Danger ! Wobbulators feature a bridge-connected
rectifier of the mains supply voltage. For this reason,
in the event of an earth contact, a continuous fault
current may fail to trip a differential circuit breaker
that is only sensitive to alternating current (type AC).
As the appliance has a single-phase supply, it is
therefore advisable to use a GFCI that is sensitive to
impulse current (type A), identied by the following
symbol: .
Caution: sthese GFCIs may go under different na-
mes, according to the manufacturer.
Appliances with wobbulators produce a fault current
on the earth wire. This current may be sufficient to
trip the differential circuit breaker unnecessarily. This
may occur if :
• Several variable-speed appliances are connected
to the same GFCI.
• The appliance produces a fault current that is abo-
ve the GFCI’s actual trip threshold.
Caution: As there are manufacturing tolerances,
the actual trip threshold of a GFCI will be between
50% and 100% of its theoretical nominal threshold.
Should a problem arise, measure the fault current
and the GFCI’s actual trip threshold.
You can begin by consulting the characteristics of
your appliance in the table below:

These recommendations apply to machines equip-
ped with an induction motor and a single-phase or
three-phase wobbulator.
NB:
- The electrical circuit and the protective devices must
comply with national regulations.
- The machine must be wired in by a qualified electrician
Protecting your appliance
• Like all electronic devices, wobbulators in clude
components that are sensitive to electrostatic dis-
charges (ESDs). Before conducting any work on
these wobbulators, technicians must therefore rid
themselves of electrostatic charges.
• The machine must be disconnected from the mains
supply before any internal connection operations
are carried out.
• Repeatedly switching on the appliance will cause
the wobbulator to overload and may result in its
destruction. After the machine has been switched
off, you must wait for 3 minutes before switching it
back on again.
50 or 60 Hz single-phase power supply
• The appliance runs on single-phase or three-phase
current as far as the variator, which turns the
current into variable frequency three-phase current
to supply the motor.

6
UNPACKING
• Carefully remove the equipment from the packaging
and take out all the boxes or packets containing
attachments or specific items.
• WARNING - some of the tools are very sharp e.g.
blades, discs... etc.
INSTALLATION
• We recommend you install your machine on a
perfectly stable solid base.
CONNECTION
• Always check that your mains supply corresponds
to that indicated on the identification plate on the
motor unit and that it can withstand the amperage.
• The machine must be earthed.
• With the three-phase version, always check that
the blade rotates in an anti-clockwise direction.

use your machine.
• BLADE (see diagram, page 11)
For fine stuffing, mousse and emulsions, use the
smooth blades.
There should not be any rings between the base of the
blade holder and the lower blade.
You must always insert the small ring between the
blade holder base and the lower blade (bowl base
assembly) before carrying out mincing tasks. In order
to control the mincing process and prevent the meat
from overheating, always use the «pulse» switch
(coarse mincing assembly).
For grinding or kneading, use serrated blades and do
not fit any rings between the lower blade and the base
of the blade shaft.
Use fine serrated blades to chop parsley and do not
insert any rings between the blade holder base and
the lower blade.

• VACUUM KIT R-VAC®
Your cutter can perform vacuum processing without
any need for modifications.
Simply assemble the vacuum kit R-VAC®, patented
by ROBOT-COUPE on to the lid and connect it to a
vacuum pump (see instructions page 11).
If you already have a vacuum packing machine,
you can connect the kit to the vacuum pump on this
machine.
The R-VAC®kit was specifically designed so
that liquids can be added to the mixture during
proces-sing, whilst keeping the food under
vacuum.
CLEANING
When the machine has completed its task, open the
lid by releasing the locking handle.
Press firmly down on the handles and turn the bowl
in an anticlockwise direction to free it, then lift it up.

OPTIONS
• STAINLESS-STEEL MINI BOWL
Optional extra: 3.5-litre mini bowl for the R 8 and
4-litre mini bowl for the R 10 and R 15, boasting at
least 2 speeds 1,500 and 3,000 rpm (patented system
exclusive to Robot-Coupe) plus 100% stainless steel
blade assembly, easily taken apart, for making quick
sauces, chopping herbs and carrying out all those
other last-minute tasks.
• STAINLESS-STEEL MINI BOWL WITH 3.5-LITRE
CAPACITY FOR R 8 AND 4-LITRE CAPACITY
FOR R 10 • R 15
1) Place the mini bowl
over the chimney of the
large bowl, then turn it
until it fits into position
over the lug. The mini
bowl handles should now
be lined up with those of
the large bowl.
2) Next, slot the 100%
stainless-steel blade as-
sembly over the motor
shaft and place the mini
lid on top of the mini bowl
to avoid splashing. Next,
close the machine lid.
• SERRATED KNIFE - FINE SERRATED KNIFE
The blade holder can be fitted either with two coarse
serrated blades or with two fine serrated ones.
WARNING
As a precaution, always unplug your appliance
before cleaning it (hazard of electrocution) and
handle the blades with care (hazard of injury).

10
To remove food residue from the blades, put the bowl
back, slot the blade assembly back over the motor
shaft, and run the machine at high speed. Similarly,
for precleaning, pour a couple of litres of hot water
into the bowl and run the machine for a few seconds
at high speed.
The electrical parts are totally watertight. This makes
the machine far easier to clean, as it can be washed
with a kitchen spray (though not with a power
washer).
After cleaning the knife, always wipe the blades well
to prevent rusting.
When the machine is not in use turn off at isolator
and leave lid open.
Never immerse the motor base in water. Clean
using a damp cloth or sponge.
MAINTENANCE
• DISMANTLING THE BLADE ASSEMBLY
1) R 8 • R 10 • R 15 • R 20 blade
2) 3.5- or 4-litre mini bowl blade assembly.
A special tool designed to
make it easier to remove
the blade assembly from the
mini bowl is supplied with
the machine.
• BLADES
We strongly recommend that the blades (smooth
ones) are sharpened daily using sharpening stone
supplied with machine.
The quality of the cut depends mainly on the
sharpness of your blades and the degree of wear.
The blades are actually wearing parts, which should
be replaced occasionally to ensure consistent quality
in the final product.
• SEAL
The seal on the motorshaft should be lubricated
regularly using a food safe lubricant.
In order to keep the motor completely watertight, it is
advisable to check the gasket regularly for wear and
tear and replace if necessary.
• LID SEAL
The lid is designed to be completely watertight. In
order to ensure that it remains that way, you may
have to change the seal occasionally, depending on
how regularly you use your machine.
If you do not use your machine regularly, between
uses it is advisable to leave the lid open to preserve
all these features.
• Disconnect the machine.
• Remove the bowl.
• Position the blade tool
on the motor shaft.
• Slide the cutter right
down the motorshaft.
• Make sure that the
lower blade is resting
on top of the blade tool.
• Loosen the locking nut
with the metal wrench.
• To replace the knife, simply do the same in
reverse.
IMPORTANT
Like the bowl and lid, the blade assembly
should also be removed for cleaning after
use.
Always dry all the metal parts carefully,
especially the blades, to avoid oxidization
IMPORTANT
Check that your detergent is suitable for
cleaning the plastic parts.
Certain 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.

1) Green indicator light off
This means that either your machine is switched off
or there is a problem with the power supply.
Check the voltage at the power outlet and the wiring
in the machine’s plug.
Check the fuses in the PCB.
2) Flashing green light
One or more of the safety devices is not respon-
ding.
These safety devices include 3 presence detectors, a
thermal relay and a motor failsafe.
AUTO DIAGNOSTIC
Your appliance is tted with a green safety light indi-
cating its operational status:
- off: see paragraph 1.
- flashing: see paragraph 2.
- continuous: your machine is ready to run.
REMEMBER
- always switch your machine off before
carrying out any cleaning or maintenance,
- all repair and maintenance work must be
carried out by a qualified technician.
Test your machine’s components and safety devices
using the different buttons and the indicator light.
Once you have detected a fault, there is no point
continuing the test. Instead, rectify the problem, then
start the test afresh.
When the green light ashes, press button I to test
its function. If the light stops ashing and stays on, it
means that the button is working properly. Follow the
same procedure for buttons II and T.
Press buttons I and II simultaneously to make the li-
ght ash more quickly. At this level, you can use but-
tons I, II and T to test the presence of the lid, lid arm
and bowl. You can also press button 0 to test that it
is working properly.
Press buttons I and II simultaneously to make the
light ash faster still. This third level allows you to
test the thermal relay, motor failsafe, mains supply
synchronization and braking relay, using buttons I,
II, T and 0.
Press buttons I and II simultaneously to return to the
normal ashing rate, i.e. testing level I.
If a test indicates a problem with one of the buttons,
check its wiring and contact block.
If the test indicates that one of the parts is missing,
make sure that all the removable parts of your
cutter mixer (bowl, lid and lid arm) are in place. If
the problem persists, check the detectors and their
wiring.
If you have not been using your machine intensively,
which may cause it to overheat and trigger the ther-
mal failsafes:
- if the test indicates a defect in the thermal
relay, check that the latter has been correctly set
(automatic position and current specified in the
diagram).
- If the motor failsafe test is negative, check the
wiring.
A problem with mains supply synchronization
or with the brake relay means that the PCB needs
changing.

• WORKING HEIGHT
We recommend that you position the R 8 - R 8 V.V. -
R 10 - R 10 V.V. on a stable worktop so that the
upper edge of the large feed head is at a height of
between 1.20 and 1.30 m.
We advise you to position your R 15 - R 15 V.V.
- R 20 - R 20 V.V. on a stable surface. There is no
recommended working height since this is a oor-
standing model.

SAFETY
This ROBOT-COUPE range of vertical cutter mixers
is equipped with a mechanical safety system
and a motor brake. Moreover, the machine will
not operate unless the bowl and lid are correctly
positioned on the motor base.
Once the lid is opened, the motor stops.
To restart the machine, simply close the lid and press
the green «On» switch.
These models are fitted with a thermal failsafe which
automatically switches the motor off if it is overloaded
or has been left running for too long.
If this happens, allow the machine to cool completely
before restarting.
