INTRODUCTION

The new Mini MP 170 V.V. and Mini MP 220 V.V. models are the latest additions to Robot-Coupe’s range of power mixer. They have been specially designed for processing smaller quantities. They are fitted with a foot and blades which can be entirely dismantled, and their shaft measure 6

/8inches long respectively.

and 8 These power mixer are tools which are totally adapted to the needs of professionals. They will enable you to make soups, vegetables purées and cereal preparations with little effort. The variable-speed function will enable you to adjust the speed to suit each preparation and to start the processing at a lower speed in order to reduce splashing. The simple design of these appliances allows the assembly and disassembly of the moving parts, 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

The appliance should be plugged into a grounded outlet. Make sure that the voltage of your power supply matches that shown on the identification plate of your appliance.

OPERATING THE MINI POWER MIXER

• OPERATION

The power mixer is equipped with electrical current and temperature overload protection. If the power mixer stops unexpectedly you may try to restart it by following steps 3-5 below. If the power mixer does not restart, allow it to cool for a period of up to 30 minutes and the temperature overload will automatically reset. You should then be able to restart following steps 3-5 below.

1. Plug your appliance into the power outlet, making sure you do not press the button (CB).

2. Insert the foot into the preparation.

3. Press the control button (CB), and the power mixer will start up.

4. To stop the power mixer, release the control button (CB).

• VARIABLE-SPEED OPERATION

Follow steps 1 to 3 above, then:

5. Change the speed of the motor by turning the variable speed button (MV) towards the maximum or minimum as required.

Variable-speed: Speed between 2 000 and 12 500 rpm.

With the self-regulating speed system, once you have selected a speed, it will remain constant, even

if the consistency of your mixture changes.

WORKING POSITION

For a more ergonomic approach, we recommend that you hold the handle of the appliance in one hand and the container with the other. It is a good idea to tilt the power mixer slightly, making sure that the bell does not touch the bottom of the container.

Always make sure that the bell is sufficiently immersed to avoid splashing and that the air vents of the motor unit do not come into contact with any liquid.

For optimum efficiency, two thirds of the shaft should be immersed in the preparation.

Do not rest the bell against the bowl. The splashguard should always be in place.

CLEANING

WARNING

Always unplug the power mixer before cleaning it! Always dilute bleach according to the instructions on

the label. Never run the power mixer through a dishwasher! The type and concentration of the sanitation agent

must comply with 21 CFR 178.1010 regulations. Clean according to local health department regu-

lations.

• MOTOR HOUSING

The power mixer must be clean through all stages of production. Clean between each job using a detergent or disinfectant. Dilute the detergent/ disinfectant following the instructions normally specified on it’s packaging container. Use a cloth lightly dampened (not dripping) with the cleaning solution. Do not allow liquid to come into contact

with the electrical components contained within the housing. Be careful when cleaning around vents do not allow liquid to drip or seep into the housing. Use a cloth lightly dampened (not drip-

ping) with water to remove detergent/disinfectant then dry using a clean cloth.

After using the power mixer in a hot mixture, cool the bottom of the tube in cold water before disassembling the bell from the shaft.

Clean immediately after use to prevent product from sticking to surfaces.

W ARNING

Never immerse motor housing and/or handle in liquid! The housing contains the electrical components and is not sealed against liquid. Contact with liquid can cause damage to the blender and serious injury to the operator.

• SHAFT AND BELL

There are two ways to proceed:

Simple cleaning procedure

Submerge the shaft and bell in water and run for a few seconds to clean. Unplug the power cord.

Complete cleaning procedure

Unplug the power mixer and rinse the bell under a water tap. Remove the bell from the shaft, then remove the blade (wear cutting gloves) ! Be careful to avoid damaging the surface of the blade shaft and the watertight seals. Always dilute the detergent/disinfectant (see above). Thoroughly dry all parts before reassembling.

• BLADE

The blade can be removed from the bell for thorough cleaning. Always dry thoroughly to avoid spotting.

• ALUMINUM

Use soft-metal-safe cleaning agents!

• PLASTIC

Be careful, many cleaning agents are corrosive and are not safe for use on plastics !

Do not use strong alkaline detergent (having a high concentration of soda or ammonia).

MAINTENANCE

• BLADE

Over time the blades will become worn and will need to be replaced. The washer and seals should also be replaced at this time. A blade service kit is available.

• SHAFT SEAL

In order to maintain a watertight seal between the shaft and bell, inspect the seal for wear and replace it if necessary.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

THE POWER MIXER DOES NOT START.

- Did you follow the previous operating instructions? See section-Operating The Power Mixer.

- Pull the plug and try another outlet.

- Check outlet for current (breaker or fuse).

THE POWER MIXER STOPS DURING (WHILE) PROCESSING.

See the section on Operating the power Mixer. The first paragraph describes the overload protection. It may be necessary to allow the machine to cool for up to 30 minutes before restarting.

If you cannot locate the cause of the problem

- Release the control button (CB).

- Unplug the power mixer.

- Are the blades free to rotate in the bell ?

- Is the drive shaft free to rotate ? To check this, unplug the power mixer, remove the bell and test the rotation of the end of the drive shaft manually.

Check the condition of the plug and the power cord.

THE POWER MIXER STARTS TO SMELL HOT OR SMOKE.

Turn the power mixer off and unplug it. Call your local authorized service agency.

W ARNING

THE BLADES ARE SHARP! It is recommended that cutting gloves be worn when handling the blades. Handle and store the blades with safety in mind.

Never try to override or defeat the purpose of the safety mechanisms!

Never put anything (utensils etc.) but food material near the blades on the power mixer!

Never overload the power mixer! Never turn the power mixer on, unless the bell is

completely immersed in the product. Always unplug the power mixer before doing any

cleaning or maintenance!
