The Robot-Coupe Power Mixers perform a host of culinary feats. The mixer attachment will allow you to make soups, vegetable purees and pulps while the whisk attachment is ideal for making pancake batter, mayonnaise, beaten egg whites, chocolate mousse, butter sauces, whipped cream or smooth fromage frais.

The variable speed function will enable you to adjust the speed to suit each preparation and to start the processing at a lower speed in order to reduce splashing.

The power mixer is easily assembled and disassembled for maintenance and cleaning.

The power mixer is equipped with electrical current and temperature overload protection. If the power mixer stops unexpectedly you may try to restart it by following steps 3-5 below. If the power mixer does not restart, allow it to cool for a period of up to 30 minutes and the temperature overload will automatically reset. You should then be able to restart following steps 3-5 below.

1. Check that the control button (CB) is in the released position.
2. Connect the cord to the power supply
3. Put the tube into the product with the bell completely immersed and the splash guard in place.
4. Press and hold down the safety button (SB).
5. Press the control button (CB) and the power mixer will start.
6. Release the safety button (SB).
7. To stop the power mixer, release the control button (CB).

1. Follow steps 1-6 above, then: While the control button (CB) is pressed, press the locking button (LB).
2. Release the control button (CB).
3. Release the locking button (LB), and the power mixer will run continuously.
4. To stop the power mixer, press and release the control button (CB).

SB VS CB LB

Follow steps 1 to 6 above, then change the speed of the motor by turning the button (VS) toward the maximum or minimum as required.

It is advisable to start at a low speed when using the whisk.

WORKING POSITION

- MIXER OPERATION

Hold the blender firmly by the handle and the bottom of the motor unit and tilt it at a slight angle. Move the mixer around in the container for complete processing. The power mixer can be rested against the rim of the container but must be tilted so that it does not touch the bottom of the container.

1/3 2/3

If using the power mixer support (optional accessory), on the top of the container, the power mixer should be positioned in the middle of the support and at a slight angle. Do not operate the power mixer with the bell straight up-and-down against the bottom of the container.

1/3 2/3

The splashguard should always be in place.

Always make sure that the bell is completely immersed to avoid splashing and that the ventilation openings in the motor housing do not come into contact with any liquid!

For optimum efficiency two thirds (2/3) of the tube should be immersed in the product.

• WHISK OPERATION

We recommend that you hold the power mixer by the handle and the bottom of the motor unit.

You can also hold the appliance by the handle with one hand, leaving the other hand free to hold the bowl, if necessary.

While processing we recommend that you move the whisk around in the bowl, in order to ensure that the mixture is completely homogeneous. We strongly advise you to keep the whisk from touching the sides of the bowl. For maximum efficiency, at least one-fifth of the whisk length should be immersed. We also strongly advise you to start the processing at a low speed.
