CONTROLS

START BUTTON – Press to start the mixer.
STOP BUTTON – Press to stop the mixer. (Model #541CMIX30 will need to twist clockwise to release and reset)
GEAR LEVER – Use to adjust the speed of the mixer.

OPERATION

• Press the START button to start mixing.
  NOTE: If the mixer is straining to mix the product, turn the mixer off and remove some of the contents from the bowl before restarting.

• Press the STOP button to stop mixing.

OVERLOAD SWITCH

The overload switch is located at the back of the machine next to the power cord.
If the machine becomes too hot, the overload switch will stop the machine automatically. If this happens:

1. Turn off the mixer.
2. Reduce the load in the mixing bowl.
3. Push the overload switch back in to reset it.
4. Allow the machine to cool for 20 minutes.

NOTE: In the event of a power surge, the overload switch will cut in to prevent the machine from restarting automatically when power is restored.
NOTE: Always disconnect the machine from the main power supply when not in use.

MIXER CAPACITY CHART

When mixing dough (pizza, bread, or bagels), check your “AR” absorption ratio – water weight divided by flour weight.
Above capacities based on 12% flour moisture at 70°F water temperature. If high gluten flour is used, reduce above dough batch size by 10%.

EXAMPLE: If recipe calls for 5 lb. of water and 10 lb. of flour, then 5 divided by 10 = 0.50 x 100 = 50% AR.

• 2nd Speed should never be used on mixtures with less than 50% AR.
  When calculating the correct size mixer for your application, here are some helpful weights and measures:

• 8.3 lb. = 1 gallon of water – 2.08 lb. = 1 Quart.

CLEANING

WARNING

All new mixer bowls and accessories including whips, beaters, and dough hooks should be properly washed before use.
Wash with hot water and a mild soap solution. Rinse off with either a mild vinegar or soda solution. Rinse again with clean water. It is highly recommended that this cleaning procedure is followed for bowls and accessories prior to whipping egg whites or whole eggs.

• The mixer should be cleaned daily with a damp cloth.
• If the unit has not been used for some time, it is recommended that the procedure above is followed before mixer use.
• It is important that the rear bowl lift guides are greased every three months to prevent corrosion.
