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 slices, juliennes, and shreds with the continuous feed attachment, plus it 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 malfunctionand 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 and cutting plates. Always handle with safety in mind. We suggest that a pair of cut-resistant gloves be worn when handling the “S” blade and plates.

Operation Manual
The continuous feed lead, with the pushers in place, provides protection from the cutting plate. When the lead is turned to it’s closed position with the ramp in place over the pin, a safety switch is activated, and the machine can be turned on and off by use of the push buttons. If the lead is not in the closed position, the buttons will not function.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT THE PURPOSE OF THE SAFETY SWITCH MECHANISM.
ALWAYS USE THE OFF AND ON BUTTONS TO OPERATE THE MACHINE.
The Food Processor is now assembled and ready to perform its desired function.
III. 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.
NOTE: This machine is equipped with manual reset thermal overload protection. If the machine is overloaded or run too long under heavy load conditions, the overload will trip. If this occurs, first remove the bowl and reduce the amount of food being processed. The reset button is located on the bottom of the motor base. Press the button in to reset the overload protector.
BEFORE CONTINUING YOU SHOULD COMPLETELY READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL.
The continuous feed lead has two feed openings, one large and one small, with matching pushers. The food is inserted in the chosen opening by removing the pusher with one hand and then depositing the food into the chute with the other hand. The pusher should then be used to push the food through the opening.
DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS: Simply reverse the steps outlined in the assembly instructions with the power cord unplugged from its wall socket.
ALWAYS REMOVE THE CONTINUOUS FEED LEAD BEFORE REMOVING THE CONTINUOUS FEED ATTACHMENT. OTHERWISE, THE SAFETY PIN CAN BE BROKEN, PREVENTING MACHINE OPERATION.
DO NOT ALLOW THE MACHINE TO RUN UNATTENDED.
A. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF THE
CUTTER BOWL
The cutter bowl attachment is used for grinding, pureeing, blending, mixing, of ingredients. With the power switch off and the bowl and blade secured in place (per previous instructions), you are now ready to add product to the bowl. 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.
1. TO CHOP
To achieve a chopped consistency for vegetables, meats, cheese, etc., fill the bowl 2/3 to 3/4 full with portions no larger than 1 to 2 inch square. Press the pulse button until the desired consistency is reached.
If the motor stalls, reduce the amount of product in the bowl.
2.TO PUREE OR FINE CHOP: For a fine puree, emulsification, or fine chop, fill the bowl 2/3 to 3/4 full with portions no larger than 1 to 1 1/2 inches square. Begin by pulsing the machine to reduce the size then, press the on button, and allow the machine to run until the product is finely chopped or pureed. Some purees may require the addition of a liquid to obtain the correct consistency.
3.TO CHOP HARD CHEESE: Place uniform 1” to 1 1/2” cubes of chilled cheese up to 1 1/2 pounds into the bowl and pulse the machine. For powdered
cheese pulse the motor until the cheese is about pea |
