I. INTRODUCTION

The Robot Coupe commercial food processor per­forms a host of culinary feats. It is designed for high
speed and quality vegetable processing. The Robot
Coupe will chop, grind, puree, mix, or knead using
the cutter bowl attachment.

This operators manual is broken down into sections
giving you detailed instructions for assembly and op­eration of the continuous feed attachment and the cut­ter bowl attachment. Close attention should be paid
to all instructions in this manual to ensure a long life
utilization of your food processor.

This manual should be kept within easy
access to all users for reference, and
should be read completely by all first time
users of the machine.

Maintaining the food processor in good working con­dition is one of the most important measures to be
taken. Inspect the machine and all parts regularly to
make sure they are in good working condition.

DO NOT operate a machine that has mal­functioned in any way.

Discard any food processed at the time
of a malfunction and have the machine inspected

and repaired at one of the Robot Coupe Authorized
Service Agencies, a list is provided in the back of this
manual. Contact one of these service agencies for
all of your service, parts and accessory requirements.

CAUTION: Your Robot Coupe comes
with a sharp cutting “S” blade. Always
handle with safety in mind. We suggest
that a pair of cut-resistant gloves be worn
when handling the “S” blade.
