ASSEMBLY

BOWL ATTACHMENT

1. With the motor base facing you, place the bowl onto the motor base with the pin toward the front. Turn the bowl just off-center and to the left as you lower it onto the base.
2. Then, turn the bowl back to the right. The safety switch pin should come to a stop at the front of the motor base.
   The bowl, when properly assembled, should be just off and level with the top surface of the motor base assembly.
3. Place the blade onto the motor shaft. Rotate the blade until it drops into place.
   The bottom blade should be level with, and just off the bottom of the bowl.
4. Press the off button in case the machine was left turned on.
   Place the lid on the bowl so that the large feed-hopper is facing you. Rotate to the right until it locks.
   The machine is now assembled and ready for use. VEGETABLE PREPARATION ATTACHMENT
   Follow the same procedure as for the cutter attachment for points 1) and 2).
   • With the metal pin side up, place the plate support on the motor shaft. Rotate the plate support until it falls into place on the motor shaft.
   • Put the cutting plate of your choice on the motor shaft. Rotate the plate until it falls into place on the plate support.
5. Press the off button in case the machine was left turned on.
   • Place the lid on the bowl so that the large feed-hopper is facing you.
   • Close the lid by rotating to the right until it locks.

REMEMBER:
R 101 B is delivered as a bowl cutter mixer only (no vegetable preparation attachment)

 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

THE UNIT SHOULD BE OFF EXCEPT WHEN PROCESSING IS UNDERWAY.
It is recommended that the machine be operated on a 50% duty cycle. This is easily accomplished since the preparation time (cleaning, coring, peeling, and loading) takes longer than the processing time. This will yield the longest life for your machine.

USING THE CUTTING BLADE
The blade is used for grinding, kneading, pureeing, blending, mixing, and emulsifying. Before placing the product in the bowl some products such as meats and cheeses should be precut into 1-2 inch portions. When filling the bowl, allow space above the product for circulation.
There are two ways to run your machine: Chopping, using a pulse or start/stop action with the on/off switches (use the pulse button on the R 101 B and R 101 Plus), or running continuously for a fine chop or puree. To obtain a uniform chop of products such as meats and cheeses, begin with a uniformly portioned product. Pulse the machine until the desired result is reached. Then, if a puree or fine chop is desired, press the on button, and allow the machine to run until the product is the right consistency.

USING THE CUTTING PLATES
The vegetable preparation attachment is used for slicing, grating, waved slicing, julienne, and pulping.
The vegetable preparation attachment consists of two feed openings :

• one large feed opening for cutting vegetables such as cabbage, celeriac, etc.
• a small feed opening for long vegetables and high-precision cutting.
• Do not attempt to run frozen products through the cutting plates.
• Do not put anything other than food products into the feed openings.
• Do not remove attachments while the motor is running.
• Do not apply excess pressure to the food pushers: This can cause damage to the motor and other parts.

We advise you to use this blade mainly to chop parsley.

CLEANING

WARNING
As a precaution, always unplug your appliance before cleaning it (risk of electric shock).

ATTACHMENTS

• Remove all attachments before cleaning. The bowl and lid attachments should be cleaned per the following instructions or as required by local health department regulations.
• CLEAR PLASTIC BOWLS: Some models, such as the R 101 Plus, are shipped with a clear plastic bowl.
• NEVER CLEAN CLEAR PLASTIC BOWLS WITH CLORINE.
• The bowl, blade, lid, 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 rub-ber 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.
• Clean the outside of the bowl, the lid, and around the switch pin to ensure they are clean. Use a brush on these areas if necessary.

MOTOR BASE

• Cleaning of the motor base assembly must be done with care. The motor base contains the electrical components.
• NEVER IMMERSE THE MOTOR BASE ASSEMBLY IN WATER.
• First, unplug the power cord. Wipe down the motor base using a cloth lightly dampened (not dripping) with water, then with a sanitizing solution, and dry the machine with a soft cloth removing all liquids from the seal area. Do not allow water to penetrate 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 clean the motor shaft.

BLADE AND CUTTING PLATES

• Handle the blades and cutting plates with caution to prevent cuts. A stiff, long handled, bristle brush can be a very effective tool for cleaning the blade and cutting plates.

IMPORTANT
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.

BLADE AND CUTTING PLATES
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.

MOTOR SEAL
An examination should be made periodically to assure that a seal against liquids is being maintained around the motor shaft. With proper care, and depending on use, the seal should last for a year or more. However, it 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.

SAFETY

To avoid splashing when running liquids in the bowl, allow the blades to completely stop before opening the lid.

WARNING
THE BLADES ARE EXTREMELY SHARP. HANDLE WITH CARE.

The R 100, R 101, R 101B and R 101 Plus are fitted with a mechanical safety switch that causes the machine to turn off when the lid is removed. If this safety feature should ever fail, remove the machine from use and have the machine repaired by your service agency.

NOTE: The machines are equipped with a thermal protector which automatically stops the motor if the machine is left on for too long or overloaded. If this happens, allow the machine to cool completely before restarting.

REMEMBER

• Never try to override or defeat the purpose of the locking and safety systems.
• Never put nonfood objects into the machine openings.
• Only use the food pushers to push the food into the machine.
• Do not overload the appliance.
• Never leave the machine running unattended.
