III. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS A. GENERAL OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS The R6VN is a state-of-the-art processor. It utilizes state-of-the-art electronics to control and monitor the motor speed. This unit offers a infinitely variable speed ranging from 370 to 3000 revolutions per minute (RPM). This wide range of speed is used to match the product to be processed to the best cutting speed of the cutting blades.

R6VN series D Operation Manual Some applications, such as mixing dry powders, may require the use of lower speeds with the bowl attach- ments. However, a controlled chop and good puree will not be accomplished at the lower speeds with the bowl attachment.
R6VN series D Operation Manual CONTINUOUS FEED ATTACHMENT: This attachment is always used with speeds less than 1725 RPM (medium high). Running the machine with this attachment at speeds higher than me- dium high (1725 RPM) should not be done under any circumstances. The continuous feed attachment should only be run at speeds approaching the medium high setting during a shredding operation such as shredding carrots or cabbage.

R6VN series D Operation Manual THE UNIT SHOULD BE IN THE OFF POSITION 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.

The standard machine comes with two (2) plates. Check your most current price list for which plates are included as standard. User applications may require additional plates. The Robot Coupe processor will perform a variety of functions: slicing, grating, dicing, and julienne. There are a total of 34 different plates available to perform these functions (see below).
