Hints and Tips
Beater

When creaming fat and sugar for cake mixes, always use the fat at room temperature or soften it ﬁrst.
Switch off and scrape the bowl with a spatula when necessary.
Use cold ingredients for pastry unless your recipe states otherwise.

Dough hooks

The ingredients mix best if you put the liquid in first.
At intervals stop the machine and scrape the mixture off the dough hook.

Flour

Different batches of flour vary in the amount of liquid required. The stickiness of the dough has a direct effect on the load on the machine. Keep the machine under observation whilst the dough is mixing.

Whisk
Important

Do not use the whisk for heavy mixtures e.g. creaming fat and sugar as you will damage it.
Best results are achieved when eggs are at room temperature.
Before whisking egg whites, make sure there is no grease or egg yolk on the whisk or the bowl.
Mayonnaise – for best results scrape down the bowl after the addition of the oil and run for a further 10 secs at max speed.
Batter Mixes – add the flour to the bowl first, then liquid, and mix at minimum speed to incorporate the ingredients.

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.

Points to note:

Never exceed the maximum capacities stated – you may overload the machine.
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 continue to operate. Always switch it off before raising your head.
The machine will not operate unless all the outlet covers are correctly ﬁtted.
If you hear the machine laboring either switch off and remove some of the mixtures or increase the speed.
Your mixer has been fitted with a ‘soft start’ feature to minimize 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.
Always remove attachments ﬁtted to the outlets before raising the mixer head.

Fit either the knife blade, one of the discs, or the citrus juicer. The knife blade and cutting section of the discs are sharp so always handle with care.

Hints and Tips

Cut meat, bread, and vegetables into 2cm cubes before processing.
Herbs are best chopped when clean and dry.
Take care not to overprocess when using the knife blade.
Do not use the knife blades to chop ice cubes or other hard foods such as spices, they may damage the attachment.
If adding almond essence or ﬂavouring avoid contact with plastic as this may stain.

Discs

Choose which feed tube you want to use. The pusher contains a smaller feed tube for processing individual items or thin ingredients.
Put the food into the feed tube.
Switch on and push down evenly with the pusher – never put your ﬁngers in the feed tube.

To use the small feed tube – put the large pusher inside the feed tube ﬁrst.
To use the large feed tube – use both pushers together.

Do not let the bowl ﬁll up as far as the cutting disc: empty it regularly.
Do not exceed the ‘MAX’ capacity level on the bowl.

Hints and Tips

When using the reversible discs ensure that the required cutting side is uppermost.
Use fresh ingredients.
Do not cut food up too small. To stop food from slipping over during processing ﬁll the width of the large feed tube or use the small feed tube.
When slicing or grating: food placed upright comes out shorter than food placed horizontally.
After use, there will always be a small amount of waste on the disc or in with the food.

Important

If the juicer starts to vibrate, switch off and empty the pulp from the ﬁlter. (The juicer vibrates if the pulp becomes unevenly distributed).
Some very hard foods may make your attachment slow down or stop. If this happens switch off and unblock the ﬁlter.
Switch off and empty the pulp and juice containers regularly during use.

Hints and Tips

Citrus Fruit – For the best results use the Citrus juicer which is available separately.
Insert soft food slowly to get the most juice.
Remove stones (plums, peaches, cherries, etc).
Remove tough skins (melons, pineapples, cucumbers, etc).
Soft-skinned and other foods just need washing (apples, pears, carrots, spinach, grapes, strawberries, celery, etc).

Health recommendations

To retain the vitamins drink the juice as soon as possible.
If you need to store the juice for a few hours put it in the fridge and add a few drops of lemon juice to keep it fresh.
Do not drink more than three 230ml (8 ﬂ.oz.) glasses of juice a day unless you’re used to it.
Dilute juice for children with an equal amount of water.
Juice from dark green (broccoli, spinach, etc.) or dark red (beetroot, red cabbage, etc.) vegetables is extremely strong, so always dilute it.
Fruit juice is high in fructose (fruit sugar), so people with diabetes or low blood sugar should avoid drinking too much.
