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 gear box.
Mixing: Always use the correct attachment for the job.

| A. Wisk: 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 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.

• 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.

MOTOR UNIT

FIGURE 5

NOTES:

• If the motor does not work, first verify the power source and connection. Next, check for damaged or faulty wiring or connections inside the mixer. A faulty motor may be the result of incorrect voltage, broken wires, a defective centrifugal governor. Motor damage may also be caused by bowl overload during mixing.
• Motor set includes motor axle (6), rotor (7) and stator.
• Figure 5-1 is component system diagrams of the motor.

SHIFTING MECHANISM
