The CL 52 is equipped with a removable lid, metal bowl and stainless steel motor base. The full moon hopper is ideal for cutting large products. For CL 52 a wide range of disk and grids are available to satisfy even the most demanding chefs when it comes to cutting up fruit and vegetables, i.e. slicing, grating, julienne, dicing and French fries discs. The head has been specially designed to handle bulky vegetables. Thanks to its simple design, all components requiring frequent handling for maintenance or cleaning can be fitted and removed in a few moments without special tools. To make things easier for you, this manual gives a breakdown of all the various fitting operations. This manual contains important information designed to help the user get the most out of this vegetable preparation machine. We therefore recommend that you read it carefully before using your machine. We have also included a few examples to help you get the feel of your new machine and appreciate its numerous advantages. SWITCHING ON THE MACHINE Before plugging in, check that your power supply corresponds to that indicated on the machine’s identi fication plate. The machine comes with a power supply cord having an integrally molded plug. The CL 52 should be connected to a grounded: 120 V/ 60 Hz /1 Phase power outlet. Robot-Coupe recommends a ground fault type outlet be used. THE LEVER-OPERATED

HOPPER AND ITS TOOLS

This hopper allows you to prepare all types of vegetables: - the large feed hopper is used to prepare bulky vegetables such as cabbage, celery, lettuce, etc., - the tube is used to prepare long or fragile fruit or vegetables. Two types of tool are designed for the the lever- operated hopper:

Always use the cone except for large sized vegetables when the removable divider is not in place. WARNING This appliance must be plugged into an grounded socket (risk of electrocution).

2) Cabbage cutter used to prepare

cabbage and lettuce and to prepare large sized vegetables such as potatoes and onions or other oversized vegetables. Wrench: Use this tool to safely remove the cabbage cutter. ❶ Assembly With the motor unit facing you, slot the black or white ejection tool onto the drive shaft and check that it is correctly positioned at the bottom of the bowl. Two ejection tools: The CL 52 is supplied with two ejection tools. The white ejector has been specially designed to cope with cabbage. For all other vegetables, use the black discharge plate. Discharge plateCabbage ejector7 english You will find all the combinations marked

on our machines and accessories price list. The dimensions of the dicing grid should always be equal to or greater than those of the slicing disc. Place the dicing grid in the bowl of the vegetable processor. Make sure that the tab on the grid is fully engaged in the locking slot of the motor unit.

Position your chosen disc: a) If you have opted for a slicing, grating or julienne disc: position the disc on the motor shaft. To ensure that it is correctly positioned, turn it in a clockwise direction. b) You have chosen a dicing equipment: i.e. a grid and a special slicing disc for diced vegetables. Slicing discs and dicing grids can be mounted in the following combinations: Gray shaded areas are acceptable combinations of slicing plate plus dicing grid. Position the French fries grid in the vegetable preparation bowl. Make sure that the French fries plate is correctly positioned in the locking slot of the motor unit. When the removable divider is in place, there is no need to use additional tools, such as loading cone and cabbage cutter. Next, fit the correspon- ding slicing disc (straight- edged blade) and rotate in a clockwise direction to ensure that it is correctly positioned. c) If you want to use the French fries equipment: This equipment comprises a French fries grid and a special French fries slicing disc. WARNING To avoid build-up of product between disk and grid cutting French fries, remember to insert the removable divider in the hopper and load the potatoes into the left-hand compartment (see photo opposite). CAUTION: use the wrench supplied with the appliance to remove the cabbage corer.

Insert the hinge pin into the locations provided at the back of the motor base. The locking handle should now be facing you, on the right. Loading cone Cabbage cutter Next fit the French Fry slicing disk and rotate in a clockwise direction to check that it is correctly positioned. Fit the removable divider into the feel lid when the French Fry kit is used. Do not use loading cone or cabbage cutter with French Fry cutter.

Then, screw the loading cone or the cabbage cutter onto the motor shaft according to the type of vegetable to be prepared (unless using the removable divider). It should be remembered that the loading cone is suitable for all types of vegetables except for cabbage and vegetables larger than 3 inches diameter. The cabbage cutter is designed for that purpose.

• • • • • • Dicing grid8 WARNING To avoid buildup between disk and grid cutting French fries, remember to insert the removable divider in the hopper and load the potatoes into the left-hand compartment (see photo opposite). Push with firm pressure to get full slice and consistent size French fries. Depending on the application, use the removable divider to prevent the more fragile ones (e.g. tomatoes) from being damaged by the loading cone. - Fill the hopper right up to the top with vegetables. - Lower the pusher so that it is flush with the top of the feed opening. - Press the pusher down to guide the food through the machine. The exact amount of pressure required will depend on the nature of the cut, bearing in mind that too much force reduces cutting quality without increasing throughput. - Cut cabbages in half and remove the core before processing, in order to avoid unnecessary strain and ensure an end-product of a higher quality.

HOW TO USE THE CYLINDRICAL HOPPER

Fill the cylindrical hopper right up to the top with vegetables. Apply a downwards pressure on the pusher and maintain it until all the vegetables have been processed. Always press the vegetables down with a pusher to improve cutting efficiency.

4) Fit the discharge plate, disc or dicing equipment

as indicated in “assembly procedures” in points

unit with the locking handle.

DISC CHOICE The lid of the vegetable processor features two feed openings: - One large hopper for cutting vegetables such as cabbage, celeriac, etc... This hopper can be partitioned with the divider. This makes it easier to deal with round or oval vegetables. - One cylindrical hopper for long vegetables and high-precision cutting. Cutting quality can be optimized if the compartment is used as a cutting guide. - Raise the pusher to gain access to the feed opening.

facing you, release the aluminium locking handle used to lock the veg prep head onto the motor unit. Lift the vegetable pre paration head, tilting it back to release the bowl.

2) Remove the disc by lifting it from underneath

using the hub and if necessary, turn in anti-clockwise direction to release… If you have been using a dicing unit, we recommend you remove the grid and the disc at the same time. This will be easier if you first rotate the discharge plate.

3) When fitting dicing equipment, we recommend

that you clean the inside of the bowl with a sponge, particularly the part onto which the grid is to be fitted. Always use a properly cleaned grid. Never process soft foodstuffs after hard ones without properly cleaning the grid beforehand. Use our D-Clean Kit (ref. 39881) to clean your: - 5 x 5 mm - 3/16” x 3/16” inch, - 8 x 8 mm - 5/16” x 5/16” inch, - 10 x 10 mm - 3/ 8” x 3/ 8” inch dicing grids quickly and easily.9 english WARNING As a precaution, always unplug your appliance before cleaning it (risk of electrocution). After removing the head of the vegetable preparation machine, take off the disc, followed by the grid and discharge plate where necessary. Dishwashers are best avoided in order to prevent the aluminium parts from becoming tarnished. Instead we recommend that you clean the machine and disk by hand using washing-up liquid. If you do put your machine in a dishwasher, we suggest that you use a detergent designed specially for alu minium. Metal-Safe detergents are available from detergent suppliers. Never immerse the motor base in water. Clean it with a sponge. CLEANING IMPORTANT Check that the detergent you use is suitable for cleaning aluminium parts. Popular less expensive washing agents are highly alkaline (e.g. high caustic soda or ammonia content) and therefore totally incompatible with alumi- nium, causing the parts to blacken. MAINTENANCE

• MOTOR SEAL The motor seal on the shaft should be lubricated regularly using a food safe lubricant. In order to keep the motor completely watertight, it is advisable to check the motor seal regularly for wear and tear and replace if necessary. The motor seal can be easily replaced without having to remove the motor, so we strongly advise you to ensure that it is in good condition.

• BLADES AND PLATES The blades on all our discs and dicing grids are wearing parts that need to be replaced from time to time, in order to maintain a constant high cutting quality.

• GRATING DISCS Grating discs deteriorate over time. We recommend you replace them from time to time, in order to maintain a constant high cutting quality. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
