PPM chlorine solution or other approved sanitizing
agent. The use of a small brush will assist in remov-
ing food particles from around the blade and inside
the hub. Allow the parts to air dry laying flat on a
drying tray.
Autoclave: The blade assembly will withstand clean-
ing in an autoclave system with temperatures less
than 210 degrees C. However, it will reduce the life
of the blade as compared to other sanitizing meth-
ods.
Inspect the area on the outside of the bowl and feed
attachment around the handle and magnetic rod to
ensure they are clean. Use a brush on these areas if
necessary.
MOTOR BASE: Cleaning of the motor base assem-
bly must be done with care.
First unplug the unit . A sponging with a cloth lightly
soaked (not dripping) in a mild detergent is accept-
able, making sure the water is not permitted to pen-
etrate 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 sani-
tizing solution, and dry the machine with a soft cloth
removing all liquids from seal areas.
(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 rea-
sonably 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 as-
sure that a seal against food is being maintained
around the motor shaft. With proper care, and de-
pending on use, the seal should last for a year or
more. However, it can and should be replaced when-
ever wear or erosion is noted, or minimally once per
year. 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 sharpen-
ing periodically. Replacement of the dull blades or
plates 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, opera-
tion, cleaning, and handling instructions, common
sense and regular maintenance.
