To Use Your Mixer

Lift the head release lever 9 at the back of the Stand mixer 1 and at the same time lift the head 1 until it locks in the raised position 2.
Place the required tool into the socket. Then push up 3 and turn 4 the tool to lock into position.
Fit the bowl onto the base. Place the handle directly over the unlock symbol 1 then gently turn the bowl clockwise until the handle is directly above the lock symbol **1** . DO NOT USE excessive force and DO NOT overtighten 5.
Lift the head release lever 9 at the back of the Stand mixer and at the same time lower the mixer head 1.
Plug into the power supply and the ‘mixer ready indicator light’ will illuminate.
Switch on by turning the speed control to the desired setting.
Release the tool by turning clockwise to unlock from the tool socket and then remove it.

Important

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 ‘O’ position, wait a few seconds and then re-select the speed. The mixer should resume operating straight away.
Whenever the mixer head is raised the ‘mixer ready indicator light’ will go out. When the head is lowered, the light will illuminate indicating the mixer is ready to use.

Hints

The fold function can be used for folding light ingredients into heavier mixtures for example meringues, mousses, fruit fools, Genoese sponges and soufflés, and to slowly incorporate flour and fruit into cake mixtures. The mixer will operate at a constant slow speed.
Your Stand 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.

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.

Hints and Tips
Important
• It is not to be used with heavy recipes such as dough, creaming fat, and sugar or all-in-one cake mixes.
• When adding flour to a mix, place it on a sheet of grease-proof paper. Fold the side in to form a spout. Gradually add the flour to the mix using the fold function.
• Do not use a high speed as a low speed is required to optimize performance
• The tool is not designed to be used to mix hot ingredients, allow the ingredients to cool before using the folding tool.
• For best results do not over whisk egg whites or cream the folding tool will not be able to fold the mixture correctly if the whisked mix is too firm.
• Do not fold the mixture for too long as the air and the mix will be too loose. Stop once the mix is sufficiently incorporated.
• Any unmixed ingredients left on the paddle or sides of the bowl should be carefully folded using a spatula.

To Fit And Use Your Splashguard

Raise the mixer’s head until it locks.
Fit the bowl onto the base.
Push the splash guard onto the underside of the mixer head 6 until fully located. The hinged section should be positioned as shown.
Insert required tool.
Lower the mixer head.
During mixing, ingredients can be added directly to the bowl via the hinged section of the splashguard 7.
You do not need to remove the splashguard to change tools.
Remove the splashguard by raising the mixer head and sliding it down.

Tool Adjustment

K-beater, Whisk, Creaming beater and folding tool
The tools are set to the correct height for the bowl supplied in the factory and should not require adjustment.
However, if you wish to adjust the tool use a suitable 15mm spanner:
Then follow the instructions below:

Unplug the machine.
Raise the mixer head and insert the whisk or beater.
Lower the mixer head. If the clearance needs to be adjusted, raise the mixer head and remove the tool. Ideally, the whisk, K-beater, and folding tool should be almost touching the bottom of the bowl 8.
Creaming beater
• Ideally it should be in contact with the bowl surface so that it gently wipes the bowl during mixing 13.
Using a suitable spanner loosen the nut sufficiently to allow adjustment of the 9 or 14 shaft. To lower the tool closer to the bottom of the bowl, turn the shaft anti-clockwise.
To raise the tool away from the bottom of the bowl turn the shaft clockwise.
Re-tighten the nut.
Fit the tool to the mixer and lower the mixer head. (Check its position see points above).
Repeat the above steps as necessary until the tool is set correctly. Once this is achieved tighten the nut securely.

Note: Spanner shown is for illustration purposes only.
Dough Tool
This tool is set at the factory and should require no adjustment.

Creaming Beater

The creaming beater is designed for creaming and mixing soft ingredients. Do not use heavy recipes such as dough or hard ingredients, for example, those containing fruit stones, bones, or shells.

Fitting the Wiper Blade

The wiper blade is supplied already fitted and should always be removed for cleaning 15.
1 Carefully fit the flexible wiper blade onto the tool by locating the base of the wiper blade into the slot 10 then fit one side into the groove before gently hooking the end in place **11**. Repeat with the other side 12.

Care and Cleaning

Always switch off and unplug before cleaning.

Power unit and outlet cover
Wipe with a damp cloth, then dry.
Never use abrasives or immerse in water.
Store excess cord into the cord storage compartment at the back of the machine.

Stainless steel bowl

Keep away from heat (cooker tops, ovens, microwaves).

Tools and splashguard

Wash by hand, then dry thoroughly or wash in the dishwasher.

Creaming beater
Always remove the flexible wiper blade from the tool before cleaning 15.

Wash the flexible wiper blade and tool in hot soapy water, then dry thoroughly. Alternatively, the parts can be washed in a dishwasher.
