Maintenance; Motor Seal; Blade; Blades And Discs - Robot Coupe R 2 N Ultra Manual

Remove all attachments before cleaning. The bowl
and vegetable preparation assemblies should be
cleaned per the following instructions or as required
by local health department regulations.
The bowl, blade, lid, vegetable preparation bowl,
vegetable preparation top, pushers, and plates
are dishwasher safe. All of the attachments listed
above can be washed in a dish machine or three-
tank system pot sink. 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 knocking the food out of
the crevices as a pre-rinse procedure. The washer
should have an industry standard wash, rinse, and
sanitization cycle. Allow the parts to air dry after
sanitizing and before reassembly.
NOTE : The high temperatures of dish machines
will tend to shorten the life of the plastic and
rubber parts. Hand washing using a three-pot sink
will provide for the longest life of these parts.
Wear cut-resistant gloves when cleaning the blade
and plates.
Inspect the area on the outside of the bowl around
the handle and the outside of the continous feed
bowl around the interlock pin to ensure they are
clean. Use a brush on these areas if necessary.
I M P O R T A N T
Check that your detergent is suitable for
cleaning plastic parts. Some washing agents
are too alkaline (e.g. high levels of caustic
soda or ammonia) and totally incompatible
with certain types of plastic, causing them to
deteriorate rapidly.

MAINTENANCE

• MOTOR SEAL

An examination should be made periodically
to ensure that a seal against liquids is being
maintained around the motor shaft. The seal can
and should be replaced whenever wear or erosion
is noted or minimally once every three to six
months. It is recommended that the seal be replaced
by an authorized repair agency.

• BLADE

Blades should be kept sharp. It is not necessary
to have a razor edge. However, they will need
sharpening periodically. Replacement of the dull
blades or plates is recommended.
SHARPENING THE BLADE
T h e
require sharpening
on a periodic basis
depending on use. The
use of a dull blade
will sometimes give
unsatisfactory results.
Follow the directions
shown to sharpen the
blade, or have the
blades sharpened professionally if you prefer.
Put on your cut-resistant gloves
1. Use a Robot Coupe stone or any good
sharpening stone.
2. Hold or clamp the blade flat on the edge or
corner of a sturdy table.
3. With the other hand, hold the stone at a 30
degree angle against the top bevel of one blade.
4. Pull the stone into the blade edge moving from
hub to tip, several strokes, until the blade is
sharp.
5. Turn the blade over, and rub the stone flat
against the underside of the blade to remove the
feather edge formed at step 5.
- Repeat the procedure for the other blade.
- Wash the blade before use.

• BLADES AND DISCS

The blades on the slicing and julienne discs are all
subject to wear and should be changed as required
to ensure high quality cutting.
The R 2 N / R 2 N Ultra / R 2 N CLR are fitted
with an interlock system.
b l a d e w i l l
When you open the bowl lid, the motor stops.
When you open the vegetable preparation top, the
motor stops.
W A R N I N G
The blades and cutting discs are extremely
sharp. Handle with care.
To avoid splashing when running liquids in the
bowl, allow the blades to come to a complete stop
before opening the lid.
NOTE : The machines are equipped with a thermal
protector which automatically stops the motor if
the machine is overloaded. If this happens, press
the Off button and allow the machine to cool
completely before restarting.
