Frequently Asked Questions - RC 8 TEAM

How to assemble the bowl and lid of the RC 8 food processor?

Place the bowl on the shaft, aligning the 3 tabs with the slots, then turn clockwise until it clicks. Place the lid with the arrow slightly to the right of the handle, then turn until the arrow is in the middle of the handle.

What are the safety features preventing start-up?

The appliance is equipped with two safety devices: one at the bowl level (it must be correctly engaged on the motor unit) and the other at the lid level (it must be properly closed). If either is incorrectly positioned, the appliance will not start.

How to use the Pulse function?

Turn the selector to the 'P' (pulse) position for only one or two seconds. Release to automatically return to '0'. This function is ideal for milkshakes or preparations requiring short pulses.

Which foods should not be chopped with the chopping knife?

Do not attempt to chop very hard foods such as ice, sugar cubes, or coffee beans. The chopping knife is designed for soft to medium-hard ingredients (meat, vegetables, fruits).

How to safely clean the RC 8 food processor?

Always unplug the appliance before cleaning. The motor unit can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth (do not immerse). The bowl and accessories can be rinsed under water, but be careful of the very sharp blades.

What is the maximum continuous usage time?

The maximum continuous usage time is indicated on the appliance's rating plate (noted KB xx min). After each cycle, allow a pause of at least 10 minutes to let the motor cool down.

Can I use the food processor for hot preparations?

Yes, but with caution. Never pour boiling water into the bowl. The lid must be properly closed to avoid splashes. Use the appropriate speed and do not fill the bowl beyond its capacity.

How to change the blades (grating/slicing)?

Make sure the appliance is unplugged and the selector is at '0'. Slide the accessory onto the short part of the holder, with the desired blade facing up. Place the assembly on the shaft inside the bowl, then close the lid.

What to do if the appliance does not start even though everything seems in place?

Check that the bowl is properly engaged (turn it until it clicks) and that the lid is correctly closed (arrow in the middle of the handle). If the problem persists, contact a qualified after-sales service.

Can I put the bowl in the dishwasher?

Yes, the bowl and accessories can go in the dishwasher, but the motor unit should only be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid washing the blades in the dishwasher if you are concerned they may become dull.
