CL 60 E • CL 60 E V.V.

The CL 60 is perfectly geared to professional needs.
It can perform any number of tasks, which you will
gradually discover as you use it.

The CL 60 “E” version is built from stainless steel
(100% stainless steel motor base and automatic
feed head). It has been designed to operate at two
speeds, 375 and 750 rpm, in order to ally accuracy
of cut with rapidity.

It can be fitted with any one of 4 different feed heads,
in order to increase the machine’s output, make the
user’s job easier and offer the most appropriate tool
for each type of preparation. The heads are designed
to be tilted in line with the motor base, in order to
reduce space and facilitate use.

The CL 60 is supplied with a wide range of discs
and grids to satisfy even the most demanding chefs
when it comes to processing fruit and vegetables, as
they can be used for slicing, ribbon cutting, grating,
shredding, dicing,chipping and ripple-cutting.

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 supplies a
breakdown of all the various fitting operations.

These instructions contain important information
designed to help the user get the most out of the CL60
vegetable preparation machine.

The machine is supplied with a cable to which you
simply attach the appropriate electrical plug for your
system. The cable has four wires, one earth wire,
plus three phase 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, a red arrow marks the blade
rotation direction. If the blade turns in a clockwise
direction, swap over two wires :

Since GREEN/YELLOW is the earth,

DO NOT DISCONNECT.

FUNCTIONS OF HOPPERS

AND THEIR TOOLS

• PUSHER FEED-HEAD

This hopper allows you to prepare all types of
vegetables:

- the large feed hopper is
used to prepare bulky
vegetables such as
cabbage, celery, lettuce,
etc.,

- the tube is used to prepare
long or fragile fruit or
vegetables.

The lever-fitted feed tube can be
adjusted to 3 positions depending on
the height of the operator. To change
the position, loosen the attachment
and adjust to the desired position.

Two types of tool are designed for the lever-type
hopper:

1) The loading cone, which guides

the vegetables (except for cabbage)
towards the blades. This tool must be
screwed firmly onto the motor shaft.

2) The hollowing cutter used only to
prepare cabbage.

A special tool for unlocking
the cabbage corer.

• HOLE FEED HEADS

4 TUBES FEED-HEAD

This feed-head is equipped
with 4 straight holes: 2
straight tubes of 50 mm
diameter and 2 straight
tubes of 70 mm diameter.

This hopper is designed
for the preparation of long
vegetables like carrots, cucumbers,leeks, etc., or
of fragile fruit and vegetables such as tomatoes,
bananas, etc.

STRAIGHT AND SLOPING TUBE HOPPER

This hopper consists of
two straight tubes with
a diameter of 75 mm
diameter, a 50 mm insert
and 2 pushers of 50 mm
and 70 mm. The insert
allows you to modify the

diameter of the tubes.

This hopper performs the same functions as the
one described above with its straight tube. But it is
different in that it is equipped with a sloping tube
especially designed for slanted cutting.

No special tool is required to attach these hoppers
onto the disc.

• AUTOMATIC FEED-HEAD

This hopper is intended for
continuous cutting tasks.

It is ideal for slicing
delicate vegetables such as
mushrooms and tomatoes,
grating carrots, slicing
potatoes and cutting french
fries, to mention but a few
of its uses.

This hopper is not suitable for certain specific tasks,
such as :

- slicing long vegetables (use the hole feed-heads).

- preparing bulky vegetables which are too big to
be fed into this hopper (use the pusher feed-head).

Make sure that the agitator is in place, in order to
avoid blockages and variations in cutting quality.
It is vital that this tool be fitted each time the
automatic hopper is used.

Two types of tool are designed for the lever-type
hopper:

1) The agitator, which guides the

vegetables (except for cabbage)
towards the blades.

2) Introducing the vegetables too
quickly can result in a logjam. If this
occurs, clear the blockage using the
crank supplied for that purpose (all
other means are strictly prohibited).

The crank serves to clear the machine if it becomes
clogged up with bulky vegetables.

21

INSTALLING THE DISCS

AND TOOLS

Two ejection tools:

The CL 60 is supplied with two ejection tools. The
white ejector has been specially designed to cope
with cabbage. For all other vegetables, use the black
plastic ejector disc.

With the motor unit



facing you, slot the black
or white ejection tool
onto the motor shaft and
check that it is properly

the bowl of the vegetable
processor.

Make sure that the spur on
the grid is fully engaged
in the locking slot of the
motor unit.
