USING THE STAND MIXER

CHOOSING THE RIGHT ACCESSORY

SPEED CONTROL GUIDE

All speeds have the Soft Start feature which automatically starts the Stand Mixer at a lower speed to help avoid ingredient splash-out and “flour puff” at start-up, then quickly increases to the selected speed for optimal performance.

NOTE: The speed control can be set between the speeds listed in the chart to obtain speeds 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 if a finer adjustment is required? Do not exceed Speed 2 when preparing yeast doughs as this may cause damage to the Stand Mixer.

ASSEMBLING THE STAND MIXER

1. Check to be sure that the Stand Mixer is unplugged, and the speed control is turned to “0”.
2. Raise the motor head: Slide the locking lever to the unlock position and lift the motor head. Once lifted, slide the locking lever to the lock position to keep the motor head up.
3. Attach the bowl: Place the bowl on the bowl clamping plate and gently turn it in a clockwise direction to lock it into place.
4. Attach any accessory: Slip the accessory onto the beater shaft and press upward as far as possible? Turn the accessory counterclockwise to hook the accessory over the pin on the shaft.

5. Lower the motor head: Slide the locking lever to the unlock position and guide the motor head down. Make sure motor head is completely down, then slide the locking lever to the lock position, Before mixing, test lock by attempting to raise the motor head.

   • (OPTIONAL) To adjust beater to bowl clearance: Tilt the motor head back; then turn the screw slightly counterclockwise (left) to raise the beater, or clockwise (right) to lower the beater. Adjust the beater so that it just clears the surface of the bowl. If you over adjust the screw, the bowl lock lever may not lock into place.
   • (OPTIONAL) Place the pouring shield: Slide the pouring shield from the front of the Stand Mixer over the bowl until the pouring shield is centred. The bottom rim of the pouring shield fits inside of the bowl. The pouring chute will be just to the right of the attachment hub as you face the Stand Mixer.

OPERATING THE STAND MIXER

NOTE: The Stand Mixer may warm up during use? Under heavy loads with extended mixing time, the top of the unit may become hot. This is normal.

WARNING
Injury Hazard
Unplug mixer before touching beaters. Failure to do so can result in broken bones, cuts, or bruises.

1. Plug the Stand Mixer into a grounded outlet. Always set the speed control lever on lowest speed to start, then gradually increase speed to avoid splashing ingredients. See the “Speed control guide” to select the best speed for your recipe.
2. Do not scrape the bowl while the Stand Mixer is operating. The bowl and beaters are designed to provide thorough mixing without frequent scraping. Scraping the bowl once or twice during mixing is usually sufficient.

NOTE : The pouring shield* can be used to avoid ingredients splashing out of the bowl when mixing as well as to easily pour ingredients in the bowl while mixing.

DISASSEMBLING THE STAND MIXER

1. Raise the motor head: Check to be sure that the Stand Mixer is unplugged, and the speed control is turned to “0”; then slide the locking lever to the unlock position and lift the motor head. Once lifted, slide the locking lever to the lock position to keep the motor head up.
   (OPTIONAL) Remove the pouring shield: Lift the front of the pouring shield clear of the rim of the bowl, and pull away from the Stand Mixer.
