PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR APPLIANCE

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Getting Started

Before First Use

Read all safety instructions before the first use
Be sure to clean your stand mixer as listed in the Care and Cleaning section of this manual.

Auto Stop

The stand mixer will automatically turn off after 10 minutes of continuous operation. This prevents potential safety problems and prolongs the life cycle of the appliance.
This mixer will automatically shut off if you unlock the tilt head and lift while in operation. If this happens the dial must be reset to “0” before the mixer will turn on again.

Mixing Bowl Notes

Turn the control knob to the 0 positions (Off position) before starting.
This stand mixer has a capacity of approximately 4¼US cups flour or 2½ lbs. of dough.
Follow the recommended quantities, processing time, and speed as indicated in this owner’s manual. DO NOT exceed the suggested processing speed, doing so could harm the appliance.

Batter

When making cake batter with the beater attachment, be careful to not overbeat the batter. This can add extra air into the batter and cause the cake to mound in the center and crack while baking.

Whisking

Always make sure your bowl and accessories are clean and dry when you are whisking egg whites or whipping cream.
The weather can affect your egg whites.
Humidity can make it difficult to create stiff white peaks due to moisture in the air.
A great way to create whipping cream is to chill the whisk and bowl in your refrigerator for 20-30 minutes before whisking.

Dough

It is sometimes helpful to start blending your dough with the beater accessory until a loose dough is formed. Then switching the beater for the dough hook. This is not a required step but can be helpful with wet doughs.
Make sure to stay at the recommended dough speed to prevent over-kneading.
Frequent scraping of the bowl will prevent the dough from sticking to the bottom of the bowl or climbing the dough hook, especially when you have a very wet dough.

Controls

Use the control knob to select your desired speed.

NOTE: Make sure the control knob is Off, in the “0” position when not in use, before unplugging, and before locking the tilt head.
See page 8 for the mixing chart.

Tips

• To avoid splatter, always increase speed gradually.
• Whisk: before whisking egg whites or cream, make sure that the bowl and the whisk are dry and free from grease.
• Kneading: use the dough hook to knead yeast dough for bread and pizzas.
• Adjust the amount of liquid to form the dough according to the humidity and temperature condition.
• If you want to re-knead the dough with your stand mixer, press the dough down to the bottom of the bowl to avoid the dough wrapping on the tool. Make sure that you re-knead the dough within the recommended speed.
