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.

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.

CATERING AND RESTAURANT WORK

• Soups, creamed soups

• Vegetable purees : carrots, spinach, celery,
turnips, French beans, potatoes etc.

• Mousses : vegetable, fish

• Fruit compotes

• Sauces : green, rouille, remoulade, cream
emulsions, tomato or parsley

• Bisques : langoustines and shellfish

• Pancake batter

HYGIENE

The equipment must be clean at all stages of
production.

It is vital to clean the power mixer thoroughly
between each job using a detergent or disinfectant.

• N.B. NEVER USE PURE BLEACH

- Dilute the detergent/disinfectant following the
manufacturer’s instructions on the label.

- Scrub well if necessary.

- Leave the disinfectant/detergent to take effect if
necessary.

- Rinse thoroughly.

- Dry properly using a clean cloth.

CLEANING

WARNING

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

After using the power mixer in a hot preparation,
cool the bottom of the foot in cold water before dis­mantling the bell from the foot.

After completion of preparation, clean immediately
to prevent food from sticking to surfaces.

• MOTOR UNIT

Never put the motor unit and its handle in water,
clean them with a damp cloth or a sponge.

• FOOT AND BELL

It is possible to proceed in two ways:

• Simple cleaning procedure

- Place the foot and bell into a suitable container
with water and switch on for a few seconds to
clean the bell and the foot.

- After unplugging the appliance - essential -, making
sure that no water finds its way into the foot.

9

- Detach the bell from the foot to avoid a build-up
of condensation (Mini MP 190 V.V., Mini MP
240 V.V., Mini MP 190 Combi and Mini MP
240 Combi).

• Complete cleaning procedure

- Unplug the power mixer.

- Rinse the bell under the tap.

- Remove the bell from the foot, then remove the
blades. Be careful to avoid damaging the surface
of the blade shaft and the watertight seals. Do not
use too strong a detergent when cleaning the
parts.

- Ensure that all the different parts are thoroughly
dried before reassembly.

• BLADE AND EMULSIFYING DISC

In order to clean the appliance thoroughly, the
blades and the disc must be removed from the bell
beforehand.

After they have been cleaned, make sure you
always dry the disc or blades properly to avoid
oxidation.

• WHISK

The whisks can be cleaned either by hand or in a
dishwasher.

Never immerse the gear box in water.
Never put in the dishwasher the gear box.
Clean it with a slightly damp cloth or sponge.

10

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.

MAINTENANCE

• BLADE

The performance of the cut essentially depends on
the state of your blades and their wear. The blades
are subject to wear and as such need to be replaced
from time to time to ensure the consistent quality of
the end product.

You are also advised to change, at the same time,
the washer and the watertight seals.

• WHISK

The success of your preparation will depend
essentially on the state of the metal wires and their
amount of wear and tear. They should therefore be
replaced from time to time in order to ensure
optimum quality of the finished product.

• FOOT SEAL

In order to maintain a per fect watertight seal
between the foot and the bell it is necessary to
check the wear of the seal regularly and replace it if
necessary.

WARNING

Fromtimetotime,check:

- The state of the button’s watertight membrane.
Even the tiniest cracks will allow liquid to seep in.

- The state of the blender housing. This, should not

show any signs of cracking or any abnormal
openings which could allow access to the live
components.
