Correct cleaning procedures are required to assure that dam-
age is not inflicted in the cleaning process. The motor base
assembly contains the motor and electrical components.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE MOTOR BASE ASSEM-
BLY IN WATER.
CLEAN THE ALUMINUM MOTOR BASE ASSEM-
BLY USING ONLY SOFT-METAL-SAFE DETER-
GENTS.
Cleaning of the motor/base assembly must be done with care.
First, unplug the unit - a sponging with a soluble detergent is
acceptable, making sure the water is not permitted to pen-
etrate the seals. Clean around the seals with a small brush,
taking care to remove all food. Do not forget to clean the
motor shaft with a small brush.
(3) Preventive Maintenance: In addition to cleaning the seals,
an examination should be made periodically to assure that a
seal against liquids is being maintained. With proper care
and depending on use, the seals should last for a year or
more. However, they can and should be replaced when wear
or erosion is noted or minimally every 6 months. It is recom-
mended that the seals be replaced by an authorized repair
agency.
Good operational performance is obtained when the blades
are sharp. Continued use can dull the blades. The blades
can be replaced when they become dull.
In general, the best preventive measure that can be applied
is close adherence to the assembly and operator’s instruc-
tions along with common sense.
Your Robot Coupe is a piece of kitchen equipment and like all
