The bowl tools and some of their uses

K-beater
For making cakes, biscuits, pastry, icing, fillings, éclairs and mashed potato.

Whisk
For eggs, cream, batters, fatless sponges, meringues, cheesecakes, mousses soufflés. Don’t use the whisk for heavy mixtures (e.g. creaming fat and sugar) – you could damage it.

Hints

To fully incorporate the ingredients stop mixing and scrape down the bowl with the spatula frequently.
For best results when whisking use eggs at room temperature.
Before whisking egg whites, make sure there is no grease or egg yolk on the whisk or bowl.
Use cold ingredients for pastry unless your recipe says otherwise.

Points for bread making
Important

Never exceed the maximum capacities stated – you may overload the machine.
If you hear the machine labouring, switch off, remove half the dough and do each half separately.
The ingredients mix best if you put the liquid in first

Yeast

Dried yeast (the type that needs reconstituting): pour the warm water into the bowl. Then add the yeast and the sugar and leave to stand for about 10 minutes until frothy.
Fresh yeast: crumble into the flour.
Other types of yeast: follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Put the dough into a greased polythene bag or a bowl covered with a tea towel. Then leave somewhere warm until doubled in size.

Important
Ensure that no bowl tools are fitted or stored in the bowl when using other outlets.

To fit and use your Splashguard

To assemble
The splashguard assembly consists of 2 pieces: the head shield br and the splashguard bs. The splashguard cannot be fitted to the bowl unless the shield is fitted.

Raise the mixer head until it locks.
Clip the head shield upwards onto the underside of the mixer head 8until fully located.
Fit the bowl onto the base.
Lower the mixer head.
Rest the splashguard on the bowl rim and then slide forward until fully located 9.
During mixing, ingredients can be added directly to the bowl via the feed chute.
To remove the splashguard simply slide it away from the mixer bowl.
To remove the head shield, raise the mixer head until it locks. Remove the tool if fitted, then pull the head shield downwards from the underside of the mixer head.
Note : Only fit or remove the splashguard when the mixer head is in the locked position.

We recommend that the head shield is removed regularly from the mixer head for cleaning.

Tool Adjustment

K-beater & Whisk
The tools are set to the correct height for the bowl supplied in the factory and should not require adjustment. However, if you wish to adjust the tool use a suitable-sized spanner:

KVC50 = 15mm
TYPE KVL60 = 19mm

Then follow the instructions below:

Unplug the appliance.
Raise the mixer head and insert the whisk or beater.
Lower the mixer head. If the clearance needs to be adjusted, raise the mixer head and remove the tool. Ideally, the whisk and K-beater should be almost touching the bottom of the bowl 10.
Using a suitable spanner loosen the nut sufficiently to allow adjustment of the shaft 11. To lower the tool closer to the bottom of the bowl, turn the shaft anticlockwise. To raise the tool away from the bottom of the bowl turn the shaft clockwise.
Re-tighten the nut.
Fit the tool to the mixer and lower the mixer head. (Check its position see points above).
Repeat the above steps as necessary until the tool is set correctly. Once this is achieved tighten the nut securely.
Note : Spanner 11 shown is for illustration purposes only.

Dough Hook
This tool is set at the factory and should require no adjustment.

Care & Cleaning

Always switch off and unplug before cleaning.
A little grease may appear at the slow speed outlet 2 when you first use it. This is normal – just wipe it off.

Power Unit And Outlet Covers

Wipe with a damp cloth, then dry.
Never use abrasives or immerse in water.
Store excess cord into the cord storage compartment bm at the back of the machine.

Bowl

Wash by hand, then dry thoroughly or wash in the dishwasher.
Never use a wire brush, steel wool or bleach to clean your stainless steel bowl. Use vinegar to remove limescale.
Keep away from heat (cooker tops, ovens, microwaves).

Alternatively, they are dishwasher safe and can be washed on the top rack of your dishwasher. Avoid placing items on the bottom rack directly over the heating element. A short low temperature (Maximum 50°C) programme is recommended.
