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
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 include com-

ponents 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.

Wiring

• The appliance requires single-phase* current as

far as the wobbulator, which turns the latter into
variable-speed three-phase current to supply the
motor.

• Y ou must connect the machine to a 200-240 V / 50
or 60 Hz single-phase* alternating current supply
with an ear thed 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 earth contact, a
continuous fault current may fail to trip a differential
circuit breaker that is only sensitive to alternating
current (type AC).

As the appliance has a single-phase* supply, it is
therefore advisable to use a GFCI that is sensitive to
impulse current (type A), identified by the following
symbol : .

Caution : these GFCIs may go under different

names, according to the manufacturer.

Appliances with wobbulators 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 :

(see page 21) and make sure that all the attach­ments are correctly positioned.

USE

• Never try to override the locking and safety
systems.

• Never introduce any 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 while it is empty.

CLEANING

• As a precaution, always unplung your appliance
before cleaning it.

• Always clean the appliance and its attachments at
the end of each cycle.

• Never place the motor unit in water.

• For parts made of aluminum alloys, use cleaning
fluids suitable for aluminum.

• For plastic parts , do not use detergents that are

too alkaline (i.e., 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 unplung 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 in any way or if the
appliance fails to work properly or has been damaged
in any way.

• Do not hesitate to contact your local Maintenance

Department if something appears to be wrong.

2) Remove the disc by lifting it from underneath
using the hub and if necessary, turn in an
anti-clockwise direction to release.

In the case of dicing or French fries cutting equipment,
you should pull out the grid and disc assembly in
one go. The discharge plate can then be removed
by means of the two holes. Then pull out the
discharge plate with the aid of the two holes.

3) When fitting dicing equipment, we recommend
that you clean the inside of the bowl with a damp
cloth or sponge, particularly the part onto which the
grid is to be fitted.

Always use a clean grid.

4) Fit the discharge plate, disc or dicing equipment
as indicated in “assembly procedures“ in points
(1 and 2).

5) Close the lid of the vegetable preparation
machine and lock onto the motor unit using the
fastening hook.
