IV. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
TROUBLE SHOOTING AIDS:
The Robot Coupe has been designed to provide maxi-
mum trouble free performance. Adherence to the as-
sembly and operating instructions will further assure
good performance. Additionally, if simple common
sense rules are applied to the unit, a long life utiliza-
tion will be achieved.
(1) Care: While the Robot Coupe is a ruggedly con-
structed machine, overall handling should be accom-
plished with a sense of use rather than abuse. The
motor housing is made of rugged cast aluminium and
will yield a long life if not maltreated. While the ma-
chine is reasonably portable, care should be taken
not to drop it. Remove the continuous feed assem-
bly and any plates or other attachments before relo-
cating the machine.
Your machine should never
be picked up by the continuous feed lead or the
cord. Always lift from the bottom of the motor
base assembly.
Equal caution should be exercised
in handling all of the parts for your own safety and to
assure they are not subject to undue force.
(2) Cleaning: The machine should be cleaned per
the following instructions or as required by local health
department regulations. Proper cleaning of the ma-
chine is one of the
MOST IMPORTANT preventive
maintenance measures the user can employ. The
high acid content of some foods can cause harm to
the seals protecting the electrical parts contained
within the housing. It is recommended that the ma-
chine be cleaned after each operational use and mini-
mally once per day.
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 of the motor/base assembly must be done
with care.
First, unplug the unit
- A sponging
with a soluble soft metal ( Aluminum ) safe detergent
is acceptable, making sure the water is not permitted
to penetrate the seals. Clean around the seals with a
small brush, taking care to remove all food. Clean
the motor shaft with a small brush.
Read the label for the dish machine detergent you
are using to determine if it is safe for soft metals. If
you can not determine if it is safe for soft metals, then
contact your supplier for this information.
Many other cleaning detergents can also cause cor-
rosion of soft metals.
Clean the aluminum parts using only soft
metal ( Aluminum ) safe detergents.
The continuous feed assembly, pushers, and plates
are dishwasher safe if used with a soft metal safe
detergent. These attachments can also be washed
in a three tank system pot sink.
NOTE: The high temperatures of dish machines
will tend to shorten the life of the plastic and rub-
ber parts. Hand washing using a three pot sink
will provide for the longest life of these parts.
Pre-rinse the attachments before washing to remove
any bulk food on the parts. A stiff bristle brush or
power sprayer faucet attachment is effective in knock-
ing the food out of the crevices especially when clean-
ing the cutting plates. The washer should have an
industry standard wash, rinse, and sanitization cycle.
Allow the parts to air dry after sanitizing and before
reassembly.
(3) Preventive Maintenance: In addition to cleaning
the seals, an examination should be made periodi-
cally to assure that a seal against food is being main-
tained. With proper care, and depending on use, the
seals should last for a year or more. However, they
can and should be replaced when wear or erosion is
noted or at least once every three to six months to
prevent motor bearing damage. It is recommended
that the seals be replaced by an authorized repair
agency.
Good operational performance is obtained when the
blades are sharp. Continued use can dull the blades.
All of the cutting plates are made so that the blades
or grids can be replaced when they become dull. Al-
ways store the plates in the plate holders. Additional
plate holders can be obtained from your food service
distributor.
In general, the best preventive measure that can be
applied is close adherence to the assembly and op-
eration instructions along with common sense and
regular cleaning.
Your Robot Coupe is a piece of kitchen equipment
and like all other kitchen equipment, care and cau-
tion should be used when operating. Although train-
ing requirements are minimal, only responsible indi-
viduals familiar with this operation manual should be
allowed to operate your machine.
