    MAINTENANCE

• MOTOR SEAL

An examination should be made periodically 
to ensure that a seal against liquids is being 
maintained around the motor shaft. The seal 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.

• BLADE

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.

SHARPENING THE BLADE

T h e   b l a d e   w i l l 
require sharpening 
on a periodic basis 
depending on use. The 
use of a dull blade 
will sometimes give 
unsatisfactory results. 
Follow the directions 
shown to sharpen the 
blade, or have the 

blades sharpened professionally if you prefer.

Put on your cut-resistant gloves

1.  Use a Robot Coupe stone or any good

sharpening stone.

2.  Hold or clamp the blade flat on the edge or

corner of a sturdy table.

3.  With the other hand, hold the stone at a 30

degree angle against the top bevel of one blade.

Remove all attachments before cleaning. The bowl 
and vegetable preparation assemblies should be 
cleaned per the following instructions or as required 
by local health department regulations.
The bowl, blade, lid, vegetable preparation bowl, 
vegetable preparation top, 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 
rubber 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.

Inspect the area on the outside of the bowl around 
the handle and the outside of the continous feed 
bowl around the interlock pin to ensure they are 
clean. Use a brush on these areas if necessary.

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.

4.  Pull the stone into the blade edge moving from

hub to tip, several strokes, until the blade is
sharp.

5.  Turn the blade over, and rub the stone flat

against the underside of the blade to remove the
feather edge formed at step 5.

- Repeat the procedure for the other blade.
- Wash the blade before use.

• BLADES AND DISCS

The blades on the slicing and julienne discs are all 
subject to wear and should be changed as required 
to ensure high quality cutting.

    SAFETY

The R 2 N / R 2 N Ultra / R 2 N CLR are fitted 
with an interlock system.

When you open the bowl lid, the motor stops. 
When you open the vegetable preparation top, the 
motor stops. 

The blades and cutting discs are extremely 

sharp. Handle with care.

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

NOTE :

 The machines are equipped with a 

thermal 

protector

 which automatically stops the motor if 

the machine is overloaded. If this happens, press 
the 

Off

 button and allow the machine to cool 

completely before restarting.
