• All of the accessories are precisely fitted to the bowl, have rounded corners, and are easily removed for cleaning.

Unpacking the Equipment and Initial Setup
Carefully remove crating or packaging materials from the equipment. Models shipped on pallets are bolted to the pallet. Bolts must be removed to safely separate the equipment from the pallet. Place the equipment on a flat surface with sufficient space around the mixer to allow for safe cleaning and service. Plug only into grounded electrical outlets matching the nameplate rated voltage. Do not use an extension cord with this equipment. Do not plug this equipment into a power strip or multi-outlet power cord.
removable for cleaning.

   • Surface must be level
   • Location should be accessible for maintenance and service
   • Location should offer adequate clearance for installing and removing agitators, bowls or attachments
   • Location offers sufficient space for adding ingredients to the mixer
   • Make sure that the rear ventilation outlet of the mixer is not blocked

Operation Instructions

Please ensure that your power supply matches your machine
For changing the speed ‘ Please stop the machine first before changing speed in order to avoid damage to the gearbox. Also, make sure that the bowl is in fully lifted position and the guard is closed.

• Slow Speed is the middle, dough hook set. The knob will be facing forward.
• Medium Speed is the bottom, flat beater set. The knob will be straight down.
• High Speed is the top, whisk setting. The knob will be straight up.

Mixing: Always use the correct attachment for the job.

| A. Wire Whip: Suitable for mixing liquids and soft ingredients, can work in all speeds. Do not run for more than 15 minutes.
---|---
B. Flat Beater: Suitable for mixing dry ingredients, can work in low & medium speeds only. Do not use in high speed. Do not run for more than 15 minutes.
C. Dough Hook: Suitable for mixing dough, can work in low & medium speeds only. Do not use in high speed, do not run for more than 20 minutes. The absorption ratio must be more than 50%. Refer to mixer capacity chart.

Mixer Capacity Chart

When mixing dough ( pizza, bread or bagels), check your “AR” absorption ratio – water weight divided by flour weight.
Above capacities are based on 12% flour moisture at 70°F water temperature. If high gluten flour is used, reduce the above dough batch size by 10%.
For changing the speed: Please stop the machine first before changing speed in order to avoid a damaged gear box.
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.

• Do not use attachments on hub while mixing.
  When calculating the correct size mixer for your application, here are some helpful weights & measures:

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

Cleaning

WARNING: DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE CLEANING
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 and then rinse off with either a mild vinegar or soda solution and then rinse again with clean water. It is highly recommended 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 clean 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.
