    The SoftEdgeBeater™ is ideal for creams and toppings. The silicone corners gently clean the sides of the bowl, ensuring all ingredients are get into the mixture and in the process of mixing are evenly distributed.

  10. Note: The SoftEdgeBeater™* is not intended for beating thick mixtures such as dough, use a special dough hook for this. For hard ingredients such as dried fruit, peel or bones, use a flat beater.

    PerfectRiseLid™ insulates and helps create a moist environment for the dough to rise to the required level. Covering the bowl with the PerfectRiseLid™ lid prevents the dough from drying out and forming a dried layer on the surface of the dough, which prevents the dough from rising and impairs the result when baking.

If the flat attachment is touching the bottom of the bowl, or if it is too far from one side bowl, it is possible to properly adjust it. See Section 14 for detailed instructions.
