SPECIFICATIONS

INSTALLATION INSTALLATION

BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR MIXER, CHECK TO BE SURE THAT YOUR ELECTRICAL SERVICE SPECIFICATIONS MATCH THOSE OF YOUR MIXER AS PRINTED ON THE MIXER’S NAMEPLATE.

LOCATION
Place the mixer in its operating location. Bench should be placed on a sturdy level surface. There should be adequate space around the mixer for the user to operate the control and install and remove bowls.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: THE PROVIDED ELECTRICAL CORD ON THIS MACHINE IS A THREE-PRONG GROUNDING CORD. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE MACHINE IS PLUGGED INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET.

CONTROLS

NOTE: New mixer bowls and agitators (beaters, whip, and doughhook) should be thoroughly washed with hot water and a mild soap solution, rinsed with either a mild soda or vinegar solution, and thoroughly rinsed with clean water BEFORE being used. This cleaning procedure should also be followed for bowls and agitators before whipping egg whites or whole eggs.

SPEED INDICTOR BAR: The speed indicator bar displays which speed (1-5) the mixer
is currently set to. If the mixer senses that there is an uneven load in the mixer bowl, a notification will flash on the display.

DIGITAL DISPLAY: The digital displays are divided into two sections. The left single-digit display is the program display area, which is used to display the current set program number. The right two-digit display is the time display, which is used to show the time in minutes, or in seconds if the timer is less than 1 minute. If the time is shown in minutes, a dot on the timer display will flash to signify that it is still counting. If a program is not selected and the timer is not set, it will count up from 0 and the program display will show 0. If the timer is above 99, the program display will show “-“, indicating a countdown.

If a program is selected the program display area will display the current program number (1-6) and the time display area will display the remaining time that corresponds to the specific program. The timer will always count down based on the program that is selected.

• BUTTONS: The buttons on the control panel are as follows:
• Start/Pause – Begins or pauses the mixer’s motor
• Stop – Stops the mixer’s motor
• Timer Up Arrow – Increases the amount of time on the timer
• Timer Down Arrow – Decreases the amount of time on the timer
• Speed Up Arrow – Increases the speed of the motor
• Speed Down Arrow – Decreases the speed of the motor
• Programs – Used to create or select from preset programs
• Program Selection Numbers (1-6) – Chooses the program that corresponds to the respective program number

OPERATION

POWER ON AND POWER OFF
After powered on, all of the indicators and the digital display will flash on, and the buzzer will sound for 1 second. If the device was normally shut down before powered off last time, it will enter a standby state after 1 second. The digital displays will all display 0, and the indicator will display speed level 1. If the motor was running when last powered off, the state before the unit was powered off will be restored after 1 second, but the motor will change from a running state to a paused state. In case of a shutdown, please stop the motor first and then unplug the power.

START AND STOP THE MIXER
Before starting the mixer, make sure the bowl is attached and the lift is engaged in the “up” position, then press the start/stop button to start the motor. Whether the motor is started or not, you can adjust the speed by pressing the up and down speed button arrows. You can also adjust the timer by pressing the up or down timer arrows on the display.
If the timer is adjusted after the mixer is started, the adjustment time will not be remembered and will only be effective for this operation. If the timer is not set to 0, the countdown will start again immediately.

After the mixer is started, press the Start/Pause button in order to temporarily pause the running of the motor. When the motor is paused, the timer will also stop until the Start button is pressed again, at which time it will start again.
To return to the standby state, press the Stop button when the mixer is running or suspended.

HOW TO RECORD AND SET THE PROGRAM

1. Press the Start/Pause button to start the machine. Once this is pressed, the machine will begin recording your actions.
2. Use the up and down arrows to select your speed preference.
3. If you’d like your speed to change mid-mix, adjust speed at your desired time (for example: changing from speed 1 to speed 2 at 30 seconds, just press the up arrow to the second speed indicator at the 30 second mark).  There is no need to pause or stop the mixer to change speed.
4. If you want the mixer to pause to add ingredients, press the Start/Pause button, and lower the bowl lever (Error E2 will show in the display, disregard as that error just means the bowl is down). This will tell the program to pause itself at the desired time. (For example – if you want the mixer to pause at 60 seconds, press the Start/Pause button, lower the bowl, add ingredients, raise the bowl and press the Start/Pause Button to begin again. This will be a saved function in your program.)
5. When you are finished with the recording, press the Stop button.
6. To save the program, hold the Programs button and the program number button (1-
7. simultaneously (approximately 3 seconds). For example, if you want to save it as program number 3, press the Programs button and the 3 at the same time.
8. The display will show the program number and time duration once it is saved.
9. To choose a saved program, press the corresponding program number and then press the Start/Pause button to begin the program.

Any current program can be reprogrammed by saving over the program number at any time without needing to clear it.

CLEAR THE SAVED PROGRAMS
In order to clear out the saved programs in the mixer, simultaneously hold down the Program and the Stop keys for 5 seconds. The digital display will flash, “–“, and then return to the normal display after 3 seconds. This is a signifier that all saved programs have been cleared from the unit.

COUNTDOWN TIMER AND REMINDER
When the countdown is less than 15 seconds, the alarm will sound to notify the user every 2 seconds until the timer reaches 0. The motor will stop running automatically and the digital display will flash to show “00”. Once the timer reaches zero, the alarm will sound once every 10 seconds for 1 minute.

POWER OFF MEMORY
If the motor loses power during operation, the controller will restore the program and the remaining running time before losing power next time when the motor is powered on, but the motor will change to the suspended state
