INTRODUCTION TO YOUR NEW EMULSIFIER-MIXER Blixer®2• Blixer®3 • Blixer®4 • Blixer®4V.

ROBOT-COUPE has developed a new concept in appliances: the Blixer

The Blixer

combines the features of two well-known

appliances: the cutter and the blender-mixer.

The Blixer

is perfectly geared to professional needs. It can perform a number of tasks that you will soon discover as you use it.

The Blixer

will make it easy to prepare mixed liquid

or semi-liquid, raw or cooked meals. The Blixer

replaces the blender which has never been entirely satisfactory because it cannot process solid foods.

Thanks to its simple design, all components requiring frequent handling for maintenance or cleaning can be fitted and removed quickly.

To make things easier for you, this manual gives a breakdown of all the various assembly operations.

This manual contains important information designed to help the user get the most out of the emulsifier-

mixer Blixer

WARNING

This appliance must be plugged into an grounded socket (risk of electrocution).

Your Blixer®2 • Blixer®3 • Blixer®4 • Blixer®4V. is fitted with a single phase motor.

It comes with a power supply cord which plugs into a standard 120V/60Hz, 15 Amp grounded power outlet.

• CONTROL PANEL

Red knob = “Off” switch. Green knob = “On” switch. Black knob = “Pulse” control.

Blixer®2 • Blixer®3 • Blixer®4:1 speed 3450 rpm. Blixer®4 V. : Variable speed : 300 to 3600 Rpm

ASSEMBLY

1) With the motor base facing you, place the bowl onto the m otor base with the handle toward the front. Turn the bowl just off-center and to the left as you lower it onto the base.

3) Place the blade assembly onto the motor shaft. Rotate the blade assembly until it drops into place. The bottom blade should be level with and just off the bottom of the bowl.

4) Position the scraper arm handle, lining it up with the arrow. Hold the scraper arm in place with one hand. With the other hand, press down on the scraper arm handle, in order to compress the two lid wipers, and tur n in an clockwise direction.

We therefore recommend that you read it carefully before using your machine.

SWITCHING ON THE MACHINE

• ADVICE ON ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Before plugging in, make sure your power supply corresponds to that indicated on the machine’s serial number plate.

2) Then, turn the bowl back to the right (counterclockwise) locking it onto the motor base tabs.

5) Locate the downward-facing tab on the bowl lid. Place the lid on the bowl with the tab over the bowl handle, then lock the bowl clamps over the lid.

OPERATION

THE UNIT SHOULD BE OFF EXCEPT WHEN PROCESSING IS UNDERWAY. It is recommended that the machine be operated on a 50% duty cycle. This is easily accomplished since the preparation time (cleaning, coring, peeling, and loading) takes longer than the processing time. This will increase the life of your machine.

When running frozen products in the bowl attachment, the size of the product should not exceed 1 inch (2.5 cm).

The Blixer cutting tasks in minimum time ; we recommend therefore that you keep a close eye on the mixture in order to obtain the desired results.

• Minced foods: meat, fish... • Vegetable purees

• Mousses: vegetables, fish... • Compotes of stewed fruit

This simply entails diluting spoon-feeding preparations:

• Minced meat + gravy • Puree + liquid (broth, milk...)

• Soups / creamed soups • Fruit compotes + syrup or water

• Soups and any preparations that can be liquidized.

• Butter mixtures: snail butter, salmon butter, anchovie butter…

• Sauces: green sauce, mayonnaise, remoulade, ailloli, emulsify

sauces with tomatoes, cream, parsley…

• Grinding for bisque: lobster, scampi, seashells...

• Grinding: herbs, seeds, powders....

CLEANING

WARNING

As a precaution, always unplug your appliance before cleaning it (risk of electrocution).

• MOTOR UNIT

Never immerse the motor unit in water. Clean it with a damp cloth or sponge.

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.

Cleaning of the motor base assembly must be done with care.

First unplug the unit. A sponging with a cloth lightly soaked (not dripping) in a mild detergent is acceptable, making sure the water is not permitted to penetrate the shaft seal or around the switches. Clean around the shaft seal with a small brush, taking care to remove all food. Do not forget to clean the motor shaft. Rinse the motor base first using a cloth lightly dampened (not dripping) with water, then with a sanitizing solution, and dry the machine with a soft cloth removing all liquids from seal areas.

WARNING: NEVER USE PURE BLEACH.

Always dilute the detergent following the instructions given by the manufacturer. Clean per the following instructions or as required by local health department regulations.

• BLADE

The blade cap should be removed for cleaning if necessary. Wear cut-resistant gloves when removing the cap. Put a screwdriver or similar tool into the blade assembly from the bottom, and knock the cap out the top.

• WIPER ASSEMBLY

Position the scraper arm handle, lining it up with the arrow. Hold the scraper arm in place with one hand. With the other hand, press down on the scraper arm handle, in order to compress the two lid wipers, and turn in an anticlockwise direction.

The bowl, blade, cap, lid, and wiper assembly are dishwasher safe. They can be washed in a dish machine or three-tank system pot sink. Pre-rinse the attachments before washing to remove any bulk food on the par ts. A stiff bristle brush

ENGLISH

or power sprayer faucet attachment is effective in knocking the food out of the crevices as a pre-rinse procedure. The washer should have an industr ystandard wash, rinse and sanitization cycle. Allow the parts to air-dry after sanitizing and before reassembly.

NOTE: The high temperatures of dish machines will tend to shorten the life of the plastic and rubber parts. Hand washing using a three-pot sink will provide for the longest life of these parts.

Wear cut-resistant gloves when cleaning the blade.

MAINTENANCE

• BLADE

The quality of the cut depends mainly on the sharpness of your blades and the degree of wear. The blades are actually wearing par ts, which should be replaced occasionally to ensure consistent quality in the final product.

• MOTOR SEAL

An examination should be made periodically to assure that a seal against liquids is being maintained around the motor shaft. With proper care and depending on use, the seal should last for a year or more. However, it can and should be replaced whenever wear or erosion is noted or minimally once every three to six months. It is recommended that the seal be replaced by an authorized repair agency.

• BOWL LOCKING WASHER

The bowl locking washer is located below the bowl and holds the bowl in place. If it becomes worn, it needs to be replaced.

• WIPER ASSEMBLY

The assembly includes three rubber wipers. They will need to be replaced when they become worn. Replacements are available.
