• Place the mixer on a flat, stable and dry surface.

• Press the release button (4).

• Keep the button pressed and raise the head (1), guiding it with your hand.

• Insert the bowl (9) in its base (8). Grasp the bowl by its handle and turn the bowl (9) clockwise until it locks into place.

• Select the accessory according to the type of mixing to be performed.
  Caution
  Do not operate the mixer with the accessory without having locked the bowl in position.

• Insert the accessory into the lower attachment (5) and push it upwards. Keep pressing the accessory upwards and turn it counterclockwise until the pin locks fully into place (5).
  Ensure that the accessory is correctly locked into place in the attachment.

• Add the ingredients to the bowl.

• Keep the button (4) pressed and lower the head (1), guiding it with your hand.

*Using the pouring shield (10)**

• Fit the pouring shield onto the upper rim of the stainless steel bowl* after having inserted the bowl into its base, inserted the accessory into the lower attachment and after having lowered the head into the operating position.
• Fit the pouring shield with the opening facing outwards so that ingredients can be added to the bowl without having to stop the mixer.

Caution
Remove the pouring shield to raise or lower the head with the accessory fixed to the lower attachment.

• Make sure that the speed selector (3) is in the “0” (OFF) position.
• Insert the plug into the power socket.
• Select the required speed (3) to start the appliance and begin mixing the ingredients. See “Recommended speeds”.

Caution

• For increased safety, each time power is disconnected to the motor, for example by raising the head or unplugging the appliance from the socket, the speed selector first has to be placed in the zero position before the mixer is restarted.
• You should anyway always move the speed selector to the 0 (OFF) position before pressing the button to move the motor head.

Caution

• Do not touch the accessories while the appliance is in operation.
• Do not operate the mixer with the accessory inserted and the bowl empty.

It is possible for the motor head to move slightly when mixing or kneading dense mixtures or large quantities. This is normal and will not affect the operation, long lifetime or the appliance.

When finished (Fig. B and D)

• Place the speed selector (3) in the “0” (OFF) position and remove the plug from the power socket.
• Remove the pouring shield (10) from the bowl, if present.
• Press the release button (4) to raise the head (1).
• Push the accessory slightly upwards and turn it clockwise to release it from the pin. Remove the accessory from the lower attachment (5).
• Remove the bowl (9) from its base by turning it counterclockwise to release it.

Functions

Safety lock system
The appliance is fitted with a safety system that automatically shuts off the appliance when the motor head is raised.

Smooth Start System
When the appliance is started, the speed is gradually increased until the set speed is reached. This prevents damage to the appliance and accessories and ensures that ingredients are not ejected from the bowl.

Planetary movement
The mixer accessories move with a planetary mixing action. The movement is generated by the accessory rotating around its axis in the opposite direction to the rotary movement of the mixer. This maximizes coverage of the entire bowl so that all ingredients are thoroughly blended with excellent results for all preparations.

Hot appliance
Following prolonged use, the upper part of the motor head may become hot. This does not, however, normally indicate a malfunction.

General advice

• Never exceed the maximum speed and capacity indicated in the table in order to prevent damage to the appliance.
• Turn on the appliance at a low speed until all the ingredients are mixed, then increase the speed according to the required operation.
• When adding ingredients, always pourthem onto the edge of the bowl and not directly onto the moving accessory.
• Reduce the speed when you add dry or liquid ingredients to prevent splattering. Increase the speed again when they have been mixed.
• Use the pouring shield* on the bowl for liquid mixtures or when adding dry ingredients to avoid getting objects in the vicinity of the stand mixer dirty or being splashed by liquids or powder.
• Keep the bowl and accessories clean. Attach them to the appliance only when they are perfectly dry.
• Clean the head and body of the mixer carefully using a damp cloth.

Tips for whisking egg whites

• For the best results, use egg whites at room temperature.
• Before whisking the egg whites, ensure that the accessory and bowl are not damp or greasy and that they have no egg yolk on them.
• To prevent splattering, gradually increase the speed up to the recommended speed, then whisk until you achieve the required stiffness.
• The stand mixer allows egg whites to be whisked very quickly. Pay close attention to the process to avoid over-whisking the egg whites, which would result in separation.

Tips for whipping cream

• For the best results, use cold whipping or double cream straight out of the fridge.
• To prevent splattering, gradually increase the speed up to the recommended speed, then whip until you achieve the required consistency.
• When whisking a quantity equivalent to one liter of liquid cream, start at speed of 7-8 for the first minute, or at least until it starts to thicken. Then increase the speed to 10 for the remaining time.

Recommendations for recipes using eggs

• For the best results, use eggs at room temperature.
• When working with stiff pasta doughs, do not exceed the quantity of 3 medium eggs, adding small quantities of water if necessary.

Recommendations for kneading

• Make sure that the proportion of liquids in doughs is sufficient (at least 50-60% of the quantity of flour, by weight). Doughs which are too dry and therefore stiff can overload the motor.
• If the appliance is struggling, switch it off, divide the dough into two parts and knead them separately. Bread/pizza dough and egg pasta dough
• Start the appliance at speed 1 until the ingredients have been incorporated, then increase to speed 2.
• For best results when amalgamating ingredients, we recommend that you add liquid ingredients to the bowl at the beginning.
• Egg pasta, bread, pizza: only knead using the dough hook. Use the flat beater only when starting the kneading procedure. DO NOT use the flex edge beater*.

Prepared cake batters

• For up to 1 kg batter: start the appliance at a low speed until the ingredients start to come together, then gradually increase the speed up to 7 for the remaining time.
• For up to 2 kg of batter: start the appliance at speed 1 until the ingredients start to come together, then gradually increase the speed up to 3-4 for the remaining time.

Pastry

• Cold ingredients should always be used when making pastry, particularly short pastes, unless the recipe states otherwise.
• When preparing cakes, initially beat the butter at room temperature with sugar, then add the eggs and lastly the flour.

Recommended speeds

The speed selector (3) indicates the most appropriate accessory to use with the selected speed. The speeds indicated in the table are approximate and can vary depending on the recipe and the interaction of the different ingredients used.
