Page 6
R4Y and R6Y Series A
Operation Manual
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: Some models may be equipped with a manual reset
circuit breaker. If the machine is overloaded or run too long
under heavy load conditions, the breaker 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
left side of the motor base. Press the button in to reset the
overload protector. It may be necessary to allow the machine
to cool a few minutes before restarting.
DO NOT allow the machine to run unattended.
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, or running continuously for a fine chop
or puree.
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
follow the instructions for chopping. For powdered cheese
chop until the cheese is about pea size then allow the motor
to run continuously until you have a fine powder.
4. TO CHOP ONIONS, CELERY, CABBAGE, ETC. Quarter onions, and cut other vegetables into 2 to 3 inch portions.
Place the product into the bowl up to 3/4 full and follow the
previous chopping instructions until you reach the desired consistency. CAUTION: If you overfill or allow the machine to run
continually, the product on the top may not be cut while that
on the bottom will be pureed.
5. TO PUREE OR MIX: To puree, make sauces, or to mix
and blend, place the ingredients into the bowl (do not overfill),
turn the unit on, and allow to run continuously.
6. TO MAKE MAYONNAISE: Place in the bowl 6 eggs, 3
tsp. of salt, 3 tsp. of sugar, 2/3 tsp of dry mustard, a pinch of
white pepper, and a pinch of red pepper. Turn the unit on.
Begin adding 2 qts. of oil pouring very slowly through the top
allowing the stream of oil to fall on the top of the cutter blade.
When you have added 1/2 of the oil, pour in 4 oz. of vinegar
and the balance of the oil. After all of the oil has been added
let the machine run for 20 seconds longer. The mayonnaise
is now homogenized.
7. TO MAKE BREAD CRUMBS: Place torn fresh or dried
bread in the bowl, and quickly start and stop the unit. Continue this process until you reach the desired consistency, or
allow the unit to run continuously for fine powered bread
crumbs as used in stuffing mix.
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 inches square. Quickly press the on and then the
off button alternately 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 2 inches square. Begin as with the chopping
instructions 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.
DO NOT remove the bowl lid until the blades
have come to a complete stop.
DO NOT remove the bowl while the motor is
running.
DO NOT put nonfood objects into the bowl.

Sharpening the “S” blade
The “S” 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.
1. Put on your cut-resistant gloves
2. Use a Robot Coupe stone or any good sharpening
stone.
3. Hold or clamp the blade flat on the edge or corner of
a sturdy table.
4. With the other hand hold the stone at a 30 degree
angle against the top bevel of one blade.
5. Pull the stone into the blade edge moving from hub
to tip, several strokes, until the blade is sharp.
6. Turn the blade over and rub the stone flat against the
underside of the blade to remove the feather edge
formed at step 5.
7. Repeat the procedure for the other blade.
8. Wash the blades before use.

Operation Manual
IV. CLEANING/PREVENTIVE
MAINTENANCE
(1) CLEANING: Proper cleaning of the machine is one of the
most important preventive maintenance measures the user
can employ. The high acid content of food can cause harm to
the electrical parts contained within the housing. Although a
seal isolates these elements from the outside, food juices will
tend to seep. If food juices are allowed to collect on the machine over periods of use, erosion of the seal can occur. It is
recommended that the machine be cleaned after each operational use.
Correct cleaning procedures are required to assure that damage is not inflicted in the cleaning process. The motor base
assembly contains the motor and electrical components.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE MOTOR BASE ASSEMBLY IN WATER!
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
The machine should be cleaned per the following instructions
or as required by local health department regulations.
ATTACHMENTS: Remove and all attachments before cleaning. The bowl, blade, and lid are dishwasher safe. These
attachments can be washed in a dish machine or three tank
system pot sink. Pre-rinse the attachments before washing
to remove any bulk food. 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 plastic and rubber parts. Hand washing using a three pot sink
will provide for the longest life of these parts.
MOTOR BASE: Cleaning of the motor base assembly must
be done with care. First unplug the unit. A sponging with a
cloth lightly soaked (not dripping) in a mild detergent is acceptable, making sure the water is not permitted to penetrate
the shaft seal or around the switches. 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, and dry the machine with a soft cloth
removing all liquids from seal areas.
BLADE ASSEMBLY:
Wear cut-resistant gloves when cleaning the blade.
The blade assembly on the 6 liter models must be disassembled before cleaning. See the Assembly/Disassembly
section of this manual. After washing, allow the parts to airdry before reassembly.
(2) PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS
While your Robot Coupe is a ruggedly constructed machine,
overall handling should be accomplished with a sense of use
rather than abuse. Reasonable care should be exercised.
While the machine is reasonably portable, care should be taken
not to drop it. Equally, caution should be exercised in handling all the parts to assure they are not damaged.
An examination should be made periodically to assure that a
seal against liquids is being maintained around the motor shaft.
With proper care, and depending on use, the seal should last
for a year or more. However, it can and should be replaced
whenever wear or erosion is noted, or once every three to six
months. It is recommended that the seal be replaced by an
authorized repair agency.
Blades should be kept sharp. It is not necessary to have a
razor edge however, they will need sharpening periodically.
See the directions for sharpening within this manual. Replacement of the dull blades is recommended.
(3) CARE: Your Robot Coupe is a piece of kitchen equipment
and like all other kitchen equipment, care and caution should
be used when operating. Although training requirements are
minimal, only responsible individuals familiar with this operation manual should be allowed to operate your Robot Coupe.
In general, the best preventive measures that can be applied
are close adherence to the assembly, operation, cleaning,
and handling instructions, common sense and regular maintenance.
