ASSEMBLY

• BOWL ATTACHMENT

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

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

INTRODUCTION TO YOUR NEW R 2 Dicing • R 2 Ultra Dicing

The R 2 Dicing / R 2 Ultra Dicing is a versatile machine designed to meet your professional needs. It can perform a number of tasks, as well as save much in time and labor.

This food processor consists of a bowl assembly and a vegetable preparation attachment. The 3 quart bowl is used for chopping, grinding, pureeing, blending, mixing, and kneading ingredients used in most recipes.

A wide range of cutting plates are available for use with the vegetable preparation attachment. Cutting plates are available for slicing, waved slicing, grating, pulping, julienne and dicing.

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 easily assembled or removed.

All users should read this operation manual before operating the machine.

SWITCHING ON THE MACHINE

•ADVICE ON ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

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

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

4) Note the plastic tab on the bowl lid. Place the lid on the bowl with the tab turned to the front and slightly to the left of the bowl handle; then, turn the lid back to the right until it comes to a stop with the tab over the bowl handle.

The device is now ready for use.

• VEGETABLE PREPARATION ATTACHMENT

The vegetable preparation attachment consists of two main detachable parts: the continuous feed attachment and the continuous feed lead.

1) With the motor base facing you, fit the continuous feed attachment onto the motor base; the exit chute should be at the rear of the machine.

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

4b) Next place the appropriate dicing plate onto the discharge plate and screw the butterfly nut tight on the motor shaft.

To dice carrots or hard vegetables, we advise you to use the small cylindrical opening.

5) Place the continuous feed lead onto the continuous feed attachment, and rotate it back to the right until it locks onto the bowl tabs.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• 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 yield the longest life for your machine.

• BOWL ATTACHMENT

The cutter bowl is used for grinding, kneading, pureeing, blending, mixing, and emulsifying. Before placing the product into the bowl, some products such as meats and cheeses should be precut into 1-2 inch portions. When filling the bowl, allow space above the product for circulation.

There are two ways to run your machine : chopping, using a quick start/stop action with the Pulse button or running continuously for a fine chop or puree. To obtain a uniform chop of products such as meats and cheeses, begin with a uniformly portioned product. Pulse the machine until the desired result is reached. Then, if a puree or fine chop is desired, press the On button, and allow the machine to run until the product has the right consistency.

USING A DICING ASSEMBLY :

4a) If you have chosen to dice, position the dicing grid in the continuous feed attachment.

The grid can be positionned in only one way. The blades should be visible trough the feed lead opening.

2) Turn the attachment to the right until it locks onto the motor base tabs.

3) Place the discharge plate onto the motor shaft. It should fall into place just off the bottom of the continuous feed attachment.

USING A REGULAR PLATE :

4) Place the cutting plate of your choice onto the discharge plate. It may be necessary to rotate the plate until it drops fully onto the discharge plate.

Follow step 5.

• VEGETABLE PREPARATION ATTACHMENT

The vegetable preparation attachment is used for slicing, grating, waved slicing, julienne, pulping and dicing.

The vegetable preparation attachment consists of two feed openings :

- one large feed opening for cutting vegetables

such as cabbage, celeriac, etc.

- a cylindrical feed opening inside the large

pusher for long or hard vegetables and highprecision cutting.

For optimum cutting, use this section as a guide.

Do not attempt to run frozen products through the cutting plates.

Do not put anything other than food products into the feed openings.

Do not remove attachments while the motor is running.

Do not apply excess pressure to the food pushers : This can cause damage to the motor and other parts.

HOW TO USE THE LARGE FEED OPENING

Fill the hopper with the foodstuff. Apply the pusher on the food with a constant and moderate pressure. Press the On button to start the motor. To get the best quality cut, maintain a moderate pressure on the pusher until the full hopper is processed.

HOW TO USE THE CYLINDRICAL SMALL OPENING

Remove the small pusher from the large pusher. Fill the small opening with the foodstuff and follow the same procedure as above.

ENGLISH

Autoclave:

The blade assembly will withstand cleaning in an autoclave system with temperatures less than 210 degrees C. However, it will reduce the life of the blade as compared to the following cleaning instructions.

Remove all attachments befor

e cleaning. The bowl and continuous feed assemblies should be cleaned per the following instructions or as required by local health department regulations.

The bowl, blade, lid, continuous feed bowl, continuous feed lead, pushers, and plates are dishwasher safe. All of the attachments listed above 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 parts. A stiff bristle brush 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 industry standard 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 and plates.

Inpect the area on the outside of the bowl around the handle and the outside of the continous feed bowl around the interlock pin to ensure they are clean. Use a brush on these areas if necessary.

• MOTOR BASE

Never immerse the motor base in water. Clean using a damp cloth or sponge.

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

First unplug the unit. A sponging with a cloth lightly dampened (not dripping) in a mild detergent is acceptable, making sure the water is not permitted to penetrate the shaft seal or around the switches and in the ventilation openings. 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. Dry the machine with a soft cloth removing all liquids from seal areas.

• ATTACHMENTS :

CLEANING THE BLADE ASSEMBLY

There is a removable cap attached to the top of the S-blade assembly. This cap should be removed before cleaning the blade assembly.

Caution: The blades are sharp. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade.

The blade cap may be removed by carefully pulling the cap up away from the blade. It may be helpful to pull slightly to the side. The cap is held in place by small plastic clips that snap into the body of the blade assembly. If the cap is difficult to remove, you can use a small diameter rod or screwdriver inserted through the bottom side of the blade assembly to knock out the cap using a quick sharp impact. Again, use caution when handling the blade.

IMPORTANT

MAINTENANCE

• MOTOR SEAL

An examination should be made periodically to ensure that a seal against liquids is being maintained around the motor shaft. The seal 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.

• BLADE

Blades should be kept sharp. It is not necessary to have a razor edge. However, they will need sharpening periodically. Replacement of the dull blades or plates is recommended.

SHARPENING THE BLADE

The blade will require sharpening on a periodic basis depending on use. The use of a dull blade will sometimes give unsatisfactory results. Follow the directions shown to sharpen the blade, or have the blades shar-

pened professionally if you prefer.

- Put on your cut-resistant gloves

- Use a Robot Coupe stone or any good sharpening stone.

- Hold or clamp the blade flat on the edge or corner of a sturdy table.

- With the other hand, hold the stone at a 30 degree angle against the top bevel of one blade.

- Pull the stone into the blade edge moving from hub to tip, several strokes, until the blade is sharp.

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.
