INTRODUCTION TO YOUR NEWEMULSIFIER-MIXER Blixer® 2 •Blixer® 3 • Blixer® 4 • Blixer® 4 V.

ROBOT-COUPE has developed a new concept inappliances: the Blixer ®.

The Blixer® combines the features of two well-knownappliances: the cutter and the blender-mixer.

The Blixer® is perfectly geared to professionalneeds. It can perform a number of tasks that youwill soon discover as you use it.

The Blixer® will make it easy to prepare mixed liquidor semi-liquid, raw or cooked meals.

The Blixer® replaces the blender which has neverbeen entirely satisfactory because it cannot processsolid foods.

Thanks to its simple design, all components requiringfrequent handling for maintenance or cleaning canbe fitted and removed quickly.

To make things easier for you, this manual gives abreakdown of all the various assembly operations.

This manual contains important information designedto help the user get the most out of the emulsifier-mixer Blixer®.

We therefore recommend that you read it carefullybefore using your machine.

OPERATION

THE UNIT SHOULD BE OFF EXCEPT WHENPROCESSING IS UNDERWAY. It is recommendedthat the machine be operated on a 50% dutycycle. This is easily accomplished since thepreparation time (cleaning, coring, peeling, andloading) takes longer than the processing time.This will increase the life of your machine.When running frozen products in the bowlattachment, the size of the product should not ex-ceed 1 inch (2.5 cm).The Blixer® will enable you to perform all yourcutting tasks in minimum time ; we recommendtherefore that you keep a close eye on the mixturein order to obtain the desired results.

CLEANING

• MOTOR UNITNever immerse the motor unit in water. Clean itwith a damp cloth or sponge.

I M P O R T A N T

Cleaning of the motor base assembly must be donewith care.First unplug the unit. A sponging with a cloth lightlysoaked (not dripping) in a mild detergent is accep-table, making sure the water is not permitted topenetrate the shaft seal or around the switches.Clean around the shaft seal with a small brush,taking care to remove all food. Do not forget to cleanthe motor shaft. Rinse the motor base first using acloth lightly dampened (not dripping) with water,then with a sanitizing solution, and dry the machinewith a soft cloth removing all liquids from seal areas.

WARNING: NEVER USE PURE BLEACH.Always dilute the detergent following the instructionsgiven by the manufacturer.Clean per the following instructions or as required bylocal health department regulations.

• BLADEThe blade cap should be removed for cleaningif necessary. Wear cut-resistant gloves whenremoving the cap. Put a screwdriver or similar toolinto the blade assembly from the bottom, and knockthe cap out the top.

Allowthe parts to air-dry after sanitizing and beforereassembly.NOTE: The high temperatures of dish machineswill tend to shorten the life of the plastic andrubber parts. Hand washing using a three-potsink will provide for the longest life of these parts.Wear cut-resistant gloves when cleaning the blade.

MAINTENANCE

• BLADEThe quality of the cut depends mainly on thesharpness of your blades and the degree of wear.The blades are actually wearing parts, whichshould be replaced occasionally to ensure consistentquality in the final product.

• MOTOR SEALAn examination should be made periodically toassure that a seal against liquids is being maintainedaround the motor shaft. With proper care anddepending on use, the seal should last for a yearor more. However, it can and should be replacedwhenever wear or erosion is noted or minimally onceevery three to six months. It is recommended that theseal be replaced by an authorized repair agency.

• BOWL LOCKING WASHERThe bowl locking washer is located below the bowland holds the bowl in place. If it becomes worn, itneeds to be replaced.
