The Robot Coupe Immersion Blender is a versatile kitchen appliance designed for a wide range of culinary tasks, from blending soups and purees to whipping creams and sauces. This manual covers various models, including the MP 350 Turbo, MP 450 Turbo, MP 550 Turbo, MP 600 Turbo, MP 800 Turbo, and their Combi and FW variants, each offering specific functionalities to cater to different kitchen needs.

Function Description

The primary function of the Immersion Blender is to process food directly in the container, eliminating the need to transfer ingredients. It is equipped with different attachments to perform various tasks:

Blade Attachment: Ideal for making soups, vegetable purees, and pulps. The sharp blades efficiently break down ingredients to achieve smooth and consistent textures.
Whisk Attachment: Perfect for preparing pancake batter, mayonnaise, beaten egg whites, chocolate mousse, butter sauces, whipped cream, or smooth fromage frais. The whisk ensures aeration and smooth mixing for delicate preparations.
Mixing Tool Attachment (FW XL models): Specifically designed to blend and homogenize very light preparations such as purees and soups made with dehydrated flakes and sauce + spice mixes. It is not intended for making pasta or thick purees.

The Immersion Blender is designed for commercial use, making it suitable for restaurants, catering services, and other food preparation facilities. It is built to withstand the demands of a professional kitchen environment.

Usage Features

The Immersion Blender offers several features to enhance usability and safety during operation:

Electrical Current and Temperature Overload Protection: The appliance is equipped with safety mechanisms that automatically stop the motor if it overheats or experiences an electrical overload. If this occurs, the blender can be restarted after a cooling period of up to 30 minutes.
Control Button (CB) and Safety Button (SB): To start the Immersion Blender, the safety button must be pressed and held simultaneously with the control button. This two-step process prevents accidental activation.
Continuous Operation: For extended blending tasks, a locking button (LB) allows the user to maintain continuous operation without holding down the control button. This feature is particularly useful for larger batches.
Variable-Speed Operation (V.V. models): Models with variable speed allow users to adjust the motor speed by turning a button (VS). This feature is beneficial for different preparations, enabling a lower speed to reduce splashing, especially when using the whisk attachment. The automatic speed regulation maintains the selected speed even if the consistency of the product changes.
Mashed Potatoes Function (Combi and FW models): Certain models include a self-regulating speed system specifically developed for pureeing tasks using the whisk. A white circle on the speed variation switch indicates the dedicated speed for mashed potatoes.
Removable Handle Attachment: To improve ergonomics and safety, a removable handle can be attached to the motor base. This handle allows users to hold the Immersion Blender with both hands, providing better control and reducing strain.
Proper Immersion: For optimal efficiency and to prevent splashing, the bell of the blade attachment or two-thirds of the whisk tube should be completely immersed in the product.
Ventilation Openings: Users must ensure that the ventilation openings in the motor housing do not come into contact with any liquid to prevent damage.
Power Cord Management: After cleaning, the power cord can be wound around specially designed lugs to prolong its lifespan and keep it organized.
Overload Warning Light (MP 600 Turbo and MP 800 Turbo): These models feature an intensity warning light that flashes for 5 seconds in case of overload or when processing very thick preparations, indicating that the motor will stop shortly. This allows the user to adjust the preparation or restart the blender if needed.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for ensuring the longevity and optimal performance of the Immersion Blender. The design facilitates easy assembly and disassembly for cleaning and inspection.

Cleaning Procedures:
- Motor Housing: The motor housing should be cleaned with a lightly dampened cloth (not dripping) using a detergent or disinfectant. It is essential to prevent liquid from coming into contact with the electrical components or seeping into the ventilation openings. The motor assembly should never be run through a dish machine.
- Tube and Bell: After each use, the tube and bell can be submerged in water and run for a few seconds for a simple cleaning. For thorough cleaning, the bell can be removed from the tube.
- Blade: The blade can be removed from the bell for comprehensive cleaning. Users should wear cutting gloves when handling the sharp blades. After cleaning, all parts should be dried carefully to prevent oxidation.
- Aluminum and Plastic Parts: Soft-metal-safe cleaning agents should be used for aluminum parts. For plastic components, care must be taken as many cleaning agents can be corrosive. Strong alkaline detergents should be avoided.
- Whisk Gearbox: The whisk gearbox should never be immersed in water or run through a dishwasher. It can be cleaned with a lightly dampened cloth.
- Whisks: The whisks can be cleaned by hand or in a dishwasher. The whisk ejector should always be removed for effective cleaning.
- Mixing Tool Housing and Mixing Tool: The mixing tool housing should not be immersed in water or put in the dishwasher; it can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. The mixing tool itself can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.
Blade and Whisk Inspection: The performance of the blender depends on the condition of the blades and whisks. These components are subject to wear and should be replaced periodically to maintain consistent quality. A blade service kit is available for replacement. Defective or damaged whisks should not be used.
Tube Seal and Seal Ring: To maintain a watertight seal between the tube and bell, the tube seal and seal ring should be inspected for wear and replaced if necessary. The seal ring can be lubricated with food-grade grease.
Cartridge Replacement: The cartridge needs to be changed if liquid seeps into the foot or if there is any play in the blade. The manual provides instructions for dismantling and mounting the cartridge using a knife dismantling tool.
Power Cord Replacement: In case of damage (cuts, burns, etc.), the power cord can be replaced using the supplied dismantling tool. Instructions are provided for both removing the old cord and installing a new "Easy-Plug" cord.
Storage: After cleaning and drying, the Immersion Blender should be stored properly to protect its components and ensure readiness for future use.

The manual emphasizes safety warnings, including the sharpness of blades, the importance of unplugging the blender before cleaning or maintenance, and the necessity of immersing the bell completely before operation. It also advises against using extension cords and recommends plugging the unit into a GFI type outlet. For service inquiries, users are directed to contact their distributor or the Robot Coupe U.S.A., Inc. service department.
