TO CHOP HARD CHEESE:
(Low speed only) Place chunks
of well chilled cheese into the bowl (not over 2 1/2 lbs). With
the lid locked in place, quickly start and stop the motor.
Continue this process until you have reached the desired
consistency. For powdered cheese, simply proceed as above
until the particles in the bowl are about pea size, then start the
unit and allow the blades to run continuously until you have a
fine powder.
TO CHOP ONIONS, CELERY, CABBAGE, CARROTS, ETC.:
Quarter onions, and cut other vegetables into 2 to 3 inch pieces.
Proceed using a quick start\stop action until the desired
consistency is achieved.
CAUTION:
If you turn the machine
on with vegetables in it and let it run too long, the bottom blade
will puree the ingredients and the top blade will be of little value
leaving a very uneven consistency.
TO PUREE OR MIX:
To puree tomatoes, make sauces, or to
mix and blend, place the ingredients in the bowl, turn the unit
on and allow it to run continuously until the product is rendered
to the desired consistency.
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.
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 powdered bread crumbs used
in stuffing mix.
CAUTION: Always allow the blades to come to
a complete stop before removing the lid.
GENERAL HINTS
1. Be sure your Robot Coupe machine is properly assembled
before using.
2. Always insure blade and attachment are tightly in place.
3. Do not fill the cutter bowl over 3/4 full.
4. Learn to operate the cutter bowl using a start\stop motion
so the consistency of the prepared product can be controlled.
Remember it is important to start with uniform pieces for uniform
results.
5. Wash the bowl, blade, and cover after every use. Do not
store food in the bowl.
6. If the motor does not start when the switch is on and the lid
is fully in position, disengage the lid (machine is now off) and
check to see if the attachment is locked in place. If okay,
unplug the unit and see is any food is jamming the blade.
7. If the machine malfunctions for any reason, discard any
food being processed at that time.
IV. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE/TROUBLE
SHOOTING AIDS
The Robot Coupe has been designed to provide maximum
trouble free performance. Adherence to the assembly and
operating instructions will further assure good performance.
Additionally, if simple common sense rules are applied to the
unit, a long life utilization will be achieved.
(1) Care: While the Robot Coupe is a ruggedly constructed
machine, overall handling should be accomplished with a sense
of use rather than abuse. The continuous feed attachment and
the motor housing are made of rugged cast aluminium and will
yield a long life if not maltreated. While the machine is
reasonably portable, care should be taken not to drop it. Remove
the continuous feed and any plates or other attachments before
relocating the machine. Your Robot Coupe should never be
picked up by the bowl or the cord. Always lift from the bottom
of the motor base assembly. Care should be exercised in
relocating it. Equal caution should be exercised in handling all
of the parts to assure they are not subject to undue force.
(2) 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
electrical parts contained within the housing. Although these
elements are isolated from the outside through seals, vegetable
juices will tend to seep. If vegetable juices are permitted to
collect on the machine over periods of use, erosion of the seals
can occur. It is recommended that the machine be cleaned
after each operational use, and minimally once per day.
The blade assembly should be taken completely apart
and washed after each days use.
This will prevent the parts
from becoming jammed or “freezing up” and is required for sani-
tary purposes. Follow the previous assembly/disassembly in-
structions carefully, and
wear cut-resistant gloves when han-
dling the cutting blades.
