important
Some movement of the mixer head is normal when mixing heavy loads such as bread dough.

• If the mixer head is raised during operation, the machine will stop working straight away. To re-start the mixer, lower the mixer head, turn the speed switch to the off position, wait a few seconds and then re-select the speed. The mixer should resume operating straight away.

• If for any reason power to the mixer is interrupted and the machine stops working, turn the speed switch to the off position, wait a few seconds and then re-select the speed. The mixer should resume operating straight away.

• The mixer will not operate unless all the outlet covers are correctly fitted to the machine.

• If you hear the machine labouring either switch off and remove
  some of the mixture or increase the speed.

• hints

  • Switch off and scrape the bowl with a spatula when necessary.

  • Eggs at room temperature are best for whisking.

  • Before whisking egg whites, make sure there’s no grease or egg yolk on the whisk or bowl.

  • Use cold ingredients for pastry unless your recipe states otherwise.

  • When creaming fat and sugar for cake mixes, always use the fat at room temperature or soften it first.

  • Your mixer has been fitted with ‘soft start’ feature to minimise spillage. However if the machine is switched on with a heavy mixture in the bowl such as bread dough, you may notice that the mixer takes a few seconds to reach the selected speed.
    points for bread making
    important

  • Never exceed the maximum capacities stated – you will overload the machine.

  • Some movement of the mixer head is normal when mixing heavy loads such as bread dough.

  • The ingredients mix best if you put the liquid in first.

  • At intervals stop the machine and scrape the mixture off the dough hook.

  • Different batches of flour vary considerably in the quantities of liquid required and the stickiness of the dough can have a marked effect on the load imposed on the machine. You are advised to keep the machine under observation whilst the dough is being mixed; the operation should take no longer than 6-8 minutes.
    speed switch
    These are a guide only and will vary depending upon the quantity of mix in the bowl and the ingredients being mixed.

• beater

  • creaming fat and sugar start on min gradually increasing  to a higher speed
  • ● beating eggs into creamed mixtures use a medium to high speed
    ● folding in flour, fruit etc use a low to medium speed
    ● all in one cakes start on a low speed gradually increasing to a higher speed
    ● rubbing fat into flour use a low to medium speed

• whisk

  • gradually increase to maximum

• dough hook

  • use a low to medium speed

maximum capacities

• shortcrust pastry 450g flour weight
• sponge cake (one stage mix) 1.6 Kg total mix
• fruit cake mix 1.8 Kg total mix
• bread dough 500g flour weight
• egg whites 8

Electronic speed sensor control

Your mixer is fitted with an electronic speed sensor control that is designed to maintain the speed under different load conditions, such as when kneading bread dough or when eggs are added to a cake mix. You may therefore hear some variation in speed during the operation as the mixer adjusts to the load and speed selected – this is normal.

to fit and use the splashguard

1. Fit the bowl into the base and add the ingredients.
2. Fit the tool then lower the mixer head
3. Fit the splashguard onto the bowl by sliding the cut away section around the mixer head 4.
4. To remove the splashguard reverse the above procedure.
   • During mixing, ingredients can be added directly to the bowl via the chute.
