Product Installation

Unpacking: Immediately before unpacking the mixer, check it for possible shipping damage. If you find the packaging material or the machine is damaged before unpacking, contact the carrier within 3 days of delivery.

Electrical Service: Prior to installation, test the electrical service to assure it agrees with the specifications on the machine data plate located on the backside of the pedestal.

Location: Place the Mixer in a convenient location, and allow working space on the bowl lift side. All maintenance can be handled from this side, the top and the front. Set the mixer level and use shims if the floor is uneven. The machined edge on the top of the transmission case makes an excellent surface for leveling.

Operation

Mixing Rotation: Be sure to check mixing rotation when electrical connects are in place for three (3) phase.

Control Panel: The control panel consists of an emergency stop button, an on-off switch, and a timer.

Hub Attachments: Attachments such as beaters, whips, and dough arms should be installed when the mixer is in operation. These attachments are used for whipping cream, beating eggs, and mixing thin batters.

Bowl

New mixer’s bowl and agitators (beater, whip, and dough arm) should be thoroughly washed with hot water and mild soap solution, rinsed with either a mild soda or vinegar solution, and thoroughly rinsed with clean water BEFORE being put into service. This cleaning procedure should also be followed for bowls and agitators before whipping egg whites with or whole eggs.

• Be sure the planetary runs in the direction shown by the arrow in the planetary head. Reverse direction is forbidden.
• To start motor, push ON button. The speed selector handle must be at one of the numbers indicating a speed, not at an intermediate position.

BE SURE TO CHECK MIXING ROTATION WHEN ELECTRICAL CONNECTS ARE IN PLACE FOR THREE (3) PHASE.

OPERATION

WARNING

• KEEP HANDS, CLOTHING AND UTENSILS OUT OF BOWL WHILE IN OPERATION.
• KEEP RIGID OR ICE-UP OBJECT AWAY FORM BOWL AND HUB ATTACHMENTS WHEN IN OPERATION.

The GEARSHIFT LEVER is used to change speeds. Always stop the mixer before changing speeds. To change speeds, tum the switch OFF, move the gear shift lever to the desired speed, and tum the switch back ON.

• Speed 1 (low) – This speed is for heavy mixtures such as bread dough, heavy batters, and potatoes.
• Speed 2 (medium) – This speed is for light dough which must rise quickly, heavy batters, and some whipping operations.
• Speed 3 (high) – This speed is fast speed for light work such as whipping cream, beating eggs, and mixing thin batters.

CONTROL PANEL

Overview

To install an agitator (No.5), the bowl (No.6) must be installed and fully lowered by bowl lift handle (No.2). Place the agitator in the bowl, push it up on the agitator shaft, and turn it clockwise to seat the shaft pin in the slot of the agitator shank.

BOWL

New mixer’s bowl and agitators (beater, whip, and dough arm) should be thoroughly washed with hot water and mild soap solution, rinsed with either a mild soda or vinegar solution, and thoroughly rinsed with clean water BEFORE being put into service. This cleaning procedure should also be followed for bowls and agitators before whipping egg whites with or whole eggs.

The bowl must be installed before the agitator. To install the bowl, fully lower the bowl support Position the bowl so the alignment bracket on the back of the bowl is in the bowl retainer and the alignment pins on the front of the bowl support fit in the holes on the sides of the bowl.

DOUGH ARM

• It is frequently used for heavy bread dough, and preferable to be use at low speed.
• The moisture content of heavy dough is critical when selecting proper mixing speed. You should never use 2nd speed when mixing heavy dough with an Absorption Ratio (AR) of 50% or less.

BEATER

• It is commonly used for thin batters, cake and mashing potatoes, like stuffing and preferable to be used at middle speed.

WHIP

• It is best for whipping cream and beating eggs and preferable to be used at high speed.

ATTACHMENTS

To install an attachment, loosen the thumb screw (No.7) on the attachment hub and remove the plug (No. 8). Insert the attachment into the attachment hub making certain that the square shank of the attachment is in the square driver of the mixer. Secure the attachment by tightening the thumb screw.

• Move the gear shift lever to the desired speed and start the mixer to operated the attachment

The meat and food chopper attachment should be operated in second or third speed. If material in the cylinder stalls the mixer, stop the mixer at once. DO NOT attempt to restart the mixer in a lower speed – remove the adjusting ring, knife, plate, and worm and clear the obstruction.

MAINTENANCE

NOTE: ALL MAINTENANCE WORK SHOULD BE DONE ONLY AFTER UNIT HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM ELECTRICAL POWER AND GROUNDING.

CLEANING

• Never use a metal or stiff brush to clean the mixer. Never clean the mixer with a water hose or any fluid pressure.
• The mixer should be thoroughly cleaned daily.
• Bowls and agitators should be removed from the mixer and cleaned in a link.
• The DRIP RING or SAFETY GUARD should be inspected periodically for moisture or lubricant dripping. Remove the cup and wipe it with a soft cloth. A large flat blade screwdriver may be used to remove the drip cup after remove the screw.

LUBRICATION

• The transmission case is filled special grease that will last for several years. When grease is needed for replacement, it should be ordered from our authorized service representative.
• Planetary gears are already filled with enough lubricating grease. No more grease is to be filled.

MIXING HEAVY DOUGH

The moisture content of heavy dough is a critical factor when selecting proper mixing speed. You should never use 2nd speed when mixing heavy dough with an Absorption Ratio (AR) of 50% or less.
To determine the Absorption Ratio (AR) of a product, the water weight divide by the flour weight.

Example: Calculate the Absorption Ratio of a mixture containing 5 lbs. of water and 10 lbs. of flour. 5 + 10 = 0.50 = 50 % = AR

• 1st speed only * 1st speed & 2nd speed only
• = If high gluten flour is used, reduce above dough batch size by 10 %.
