place just off the bottom
of the vegetable prepa­ration bowl attachment.

USING A REGULAR DISC:

4) Place the cutting disc
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.

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. Fill the
bowl no more than ⅔ full.
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.

• VEGETABLE PREPARATION ATTACHMENT

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

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 discs.

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

Do not remove atta
running.

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

HOW TO USE THE LARGE FEED OPENING

Never fill the hopper while the unit is running.

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. Once
all the foodstuff is processed, turn off the unit and
repeat as needed to finish the prep.

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.

CLEANING

WARNING

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

• 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. Always
replace the cap once

cleaning is complete

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.

ENGLISH

Remove all attachments before cleaning. The bowl
and vegetable preparation assemblies should be
cleaned per the following instructions or as required
by local health department regulations.

The bowl, blade, lid, vegetable preparation bowl,
vegetable preparation top, pushers, and plates
are dishwasher safe. All of the attachments listed
above can be washed in a dish machine or three­tank 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.

Inspect 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.

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

• 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 sharpened professionally if you prefer.

Put on your cut-resistant gloves

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

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

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

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

5. Turn the blade over, and rub the stone flat

against the underside of the blade to remove the
feather edge formed at step 5.

- Repeat the procedure for the other blade.

- Wash the blade before use.

• BLADES AND DISCS

The blades on the slicing and julienne discs are all
subject to wear and should be changed as required
to ensure high quality cutting.

SAFETY

The R 2 N / R 2 N Ultra / R 2 N CLR are fitted
with an interlock system.

When you open the bowl lid, the motor stops.
When you open the vegetable preparation top, the

motor stops.

WARNING

The blades and cutting discs are extremely
sharp. Handle with care.

To avoid splashing when running liquids in the
bowl, allow the blades to come to a complete stop
before opening the lid.

NOTE : The machines are equipped with a thermal
protector which automatically stops the motor if

the machine is overloaded. If this happens, press
the Off button and allow the machine to cool
completely before restarting.

the locking and safety systems.

Never put nonfood objects into the machine
openings.

Only use the food pushers to force the food into
the machine.

Do not overload the appliance.
Never leave the machine running unattended.
