LAKELAND 32926 6.5L Stand Mixer Instruction Manual

Thank you for choosing the Lakeland 6.5 Litre Stand Mixer.

Please take a little time to read this booklet before getting started and keep it in a safe place for future reference.

The 6.5 Litre Stand Mixer is perfect for mixing, whipping and kneading ingredients for your favourite cakes, bakes, biscuits and breads.

It has three versatile attachments; a dough hook to use on lower speeds for combining dry ingredients with liquid, and thicker mixtures like bread dough and muffins; a rubberised beater to use on medium speeds to mix cakes, icing and dips; and a whisk to use with higher speeds for whipping cream, meringues and eggs. The planetary mixing action works at 10 speeds to ensure even blending and a powerful 1800W motor. The stand mixer has a built in timer and a stainless steel 6.5 litre bowl has a splatter guard to minimise mess.

Here at Lakeland, our award-winning family-owned business still offers the same
excellent quality, value for money and exceptional customer service as when we founded the company back in the 1960s.

Our products are hand-picked and thoroughly tested so you can be sure that everything you purchase will be a pleasure to use for many years to come.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Question: Why is my stand mixer not working?
Answer: The stand mixer may not be plugged in and switched on, or the speed has not been selected. Check the stand mixer is plugged in and switched on, the power button on the LED control panel should be illuminated and the arm of the stand mixer is down. Press the power button to illuminate the LED control panel and increase the speed to 1 and then the start/pause button to check. Check that the attachments and splatter guard are properly fitted, so that the arm is fully tilted down, or the stand mixer will not work.
Question: Why is the beater attachment struggling to rotate?
Answer: The mixture is too thick or you have added too many ingredients to the bowl, add more liquid. If your recipe states otherwise, your mixture cannot
be mixed with the stand mixer. You may need to soften the ingredients or chop them into smaller pieces before further mixing.
Question: Why is my mixture splattering over the work surface?
Answer: The speed may be set too high, select a lower speed.
Make sure the splatter guard is attached to the bowl.
Question: Why is the mixing bowl making a noise when mixing?
Answer: The mixing bowl may not be located properly, check that is is locked correctly into place. The attachment might not be correct attached.
Question: Why is the stand mixer moving across the worksurface when in use?
Answer: Check that all the anti-slip suction feet are in position and that the appliance is on a dry, level surface.

RECYCLING YOUR ELECTRICALS

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires
UK distributors to maximise separate collection and environmentally friendly processing of WEEE.

UK distributors (including retailers) are required to provide a system which allows all customers buying new electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old items free of charge.

As a responsible retailer, we have met these requirements by offering all customers buying new electrical and electronic equipment free take-back of their old electricals on a like-for-like basis.
