RECOMMENDATIONS CONCERNING THE INSTALLATION OF VARIABLE-SPEED

APPLIANCES AND PERSONAL SAFETY

These recommendations apply to machines equipped with an induction motor and a single-phase or three-phase wobbulator.

NB:

- The electrical circuit and the protective devices must comply with national regulations.

- The machine must be wired in by a qualified electrician

Protecting your appliance

• Like all electronic devices, wobbulators in clude

components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharges (ESDs). Before conducting any work on these wobbulators, technicians must therefore rid themselves of electrostatic charges.

• The machine must be disconnected from the

mains supply before any internal connection operations are carried out.

• Repeatedly switching on the appliance will cause

the wobbulator to overload and may result in its destruction. After the machine has been switched off, you must wait for 3 minutes before switching it back on again.

50 or 60 Hz single-phase power supply

• The appliance runs on single-phase or three-

phase current as far as the variator, which turns the current into variable frequency three-phase current to supply the motor.

• You must connect the machine to a 200-240 V / 50 or 60 Hz single-phase alternating current supply with an earthed socket. A higher voltage will destroy the wobbulator.

• The earthed socket ensures operator safety.

Circuit interrupters ensuring user safety

Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) intended for variable-speed appliances need to be selected with great care in order to ensure operator safety. GFCIs may be sensitive to alternating current (type AC), impulse current (type A) or all currents (type B).

Danger! Wobbulators feature a bridge-connected

rectifier of the mains supply voltage. For this reason , in the event of an ea rth contact , a continuous fault current may fail to trip a differential circuit breaker that is only sensitive to alternating current (type AC).

It is therefore advisable to use a GFCI that is sensitive to impulse current (type A), identified by the following symbol: or (B) .

Caution: sthese GFCIs may go under different

names, according to the manufacturer.

Applianc es with wobbula tors produce a fault current on the earth wire. This current may be sufficient to trip the differential circuit breaker unnecessarily. This may occur if :

• Several variable-speed appliances are connected to the same GFCI.

• The appliance produces a fault current that is above the GFCI’s actual trip threshold.

Caution: As there are manufacturing tolerances,

the actual trip threshold of a GFCI will be between 50% and 100% of its theoretical nominal threshold. Should a problem arise, measure the fault current and the GFCI’s actual trip threshold.

You can begin by consulting the characteristics of your appliance in the table below:

*Connection instructions:

To protect users, it is vital to connect the R 30 V.V. and R 45 V.V. machines to the mains supply via a connection unit equipped with the above-mentioned residual current device. They must not be connected through a plug and socket.

• Never insert an object into the container where the

food is being processed.

• Never push the ingredients down with your hand.

• Do not overload the appliance.

• Never switch the appliance on when it is empty.

CLEANING

• As a precaution, always unplug your appliance

before cleaning it.

• Always clean the appliance and its attachments at

the end of each cycle.

• Never immerse the motor unit in water.

• For parts made from aluminum, use cleaning fluids

intended for aluminum.

• For plastic parts , do not use detergents that are too alkaline (e.g., containing too much caustic soda or ammonia).

• Robot-Coupe can in no way be held responsible for the user’s failure to follow the basic rules of cleaning and hygiene.

MAINTENANCE

• Before opening the motor housing, it is absolutely vital to unplug the appliance.

• Check the seals and washers regularly and ensure that the safety devices are in good working order.

• It is particularly important to maintain and check the attachments since certain ingredients contain corrosive agents, e.g. citric acid.

• Never operate the appliance if the power cord or plug has been damaged or if the appliance fails to work properly or has been damaged in any way.

• Do not hesitate to contact your local Maintenance Service if something appears to be wrong.

CLEANING

• BOWL

Once the bowl is empty, return it to its vertical posi-

tion, close the lid and run the machine at the 2

speed (3,000 rpm). This will clear the blades of any food residue. You can also preclean the bowl by pouring in a few litres of hot water, then running the

machine for a few minutes at the 2ndspeed. As all the electrical parts are waterti ght, this

machine is extremely easy to clean. It can be washed daily with a hand shower spray (never use a power washer).

If you are not intending to use your appliance for a while, remember not to lock the bowl into position, to avoid unnecessary wear of the seals.

• BLADES

- Plac e the bla de remover on the motor shaft.

- Put the blade assembly back in position.

- Loosen the screw using the stem.

- Dismantle the blade assembly by hand.

- To reassemble the blades, follow these instructions in the reverse order.

- Make sure you tighten the screw properly after reassembling the blades, in order to prevent the latter coming loose.

• LID

For perfect hygiene, remove the washer, cone and lid rest so that they can each be carefully cleaned.

We advise against putting them in the dishwasher. Instead, wash them by hand with a little washing-up liquid.

If you are not intending to use your appliance for a while, leave the lid open to avoid wear and tear of the seals.

Removing the lid seal



- Unhook the lid from the arm.



- Put the lid the wrong way round on the bowl.

MAINTENANCE

• BLADES

Afte r each task, we s trongly recomme nd you sharpen the blades briefly with a sharpening stone, especially after chopping parsley.

Sharpen them thoroughly once a month with the fine-textured sharpening stone supplied with the appliance.

The quality of the cut depends mainly on the sharpness of your blades and their degree of wear. The blades are wearing parts which should be replaced from time to time, in order to ensure constant quality of the finished product.

• V-RING SEALS

The sealing sleeve comprises a stainless-steel part



, a stainless-steel deflector fitted with a friction

ring



and 2 lip seals.

I M P O R T A N T

Check that your deter gent is suitable for cleaning the plastic parts. Cer tain washing ag ents a re too alkali ne (e. g. hig h le vels of caustic soda or a mmoni a) and totally incompatible with certain types of plastic, causing them to deteriorate rapidly.

• BOWL SEAL

The bowl seal, located between the bowl and the bushing, ensures that the bowl remains watertight.

The bowl seal must be regularly oiled, using food-grade silicone lubricant.

This part must be replaced each year, as the watertightness of the bowl depends on its degree of wear and tear.

In order to make it easier for you to clean your appliance, the bowl watertightness system is located on the underside of the bowl.

As a result, a small area here may fill up with foodstuff, though it will empty itself when the bowl is released.

• LID SEAL

he lid is designed to be completely watertight within the limits set out on page 37 (see examples of use). In order to ensure that it remains that way, you may have to change the seal occasionally, depending on how regularly you use your machine.

If you do not use yo ur machine regularly, we recommend that you leave the lid open when it is not in use jobs to preserve all these features.

• BLIXER SCRAPER ARM

The scraper arm is fitted with rubber wipers. These are wearing parts, which therefore need to be replaced from time to time in order to maintain optimum efficiency.

The wipers are easy both to remove and to fit.

Bowl seal

In order to ensure that the motor remains comple-

tely watertight, we recommend checking the lip

seals once a quarter for signs of wear and tear,

and replacing them every 6 months.

When the seals are worn, liquid may first run into the bearings, then reach the motor. If this happens, the seals, the bearings and even the motor may have to be replaced.

- Replacing the lip seals

1) Tools needed

See kit supplied on delivery.

2) Remove the bowl

3) Remove the bowl base seal.

4) Unscrew the

SAFETY

These appliances are fitted with an electromechanical safety device and a motor braking system (blades

halted in under 2 seconds by the electric motor brake).

Moreover, the machine will only start if the bowl is correctly positioned on the motor unit.

However, we recommend that you stop the motor before opening the lid, especially when liquid preparations are involved, in order to avoid splashing (before opening the lid, wait a few seconds).

These models are also fitted with a thermal pro- tection system, with automatic reset, which stops the motor if it is left on for too long or overloaded. These models are also fitted with a thermal alarm (the red light comes on) warning the user that the appliance is about to stop.

If this happens, wait until the appliance has cooled down before switching it back on (the orange light will go out and the green lights will come on again).

WARNING

The blades are extremely sharp.

Handle with care.

REMEMBER

Never try to override the locking and safety systems.

Never insert an object into the container where the food is being processed.

Never push the ingredients down with your hand. Do not overload the appliance. Never switch the appliance on when it is empty.

When the appliance is switched on, the current is several times greater than the nominal current.

“The switch-on current of appliances must be taken into account when determining the cross-section of the conductors and choosing the systems that protect against excess current, in order to avoid excessive voltage drops during the switch-on period and the untimely triggering of the protective device.”

We advise you to use a protective device specific to the switching-on of asynchronous motors. See recommended size in the table above. In every case, you must comply with the legislation currently in force.
