3. Position the Mixing Bowl into base and turn it anticlockwise to lock into place. (See fig. 2).

NOTE: Do not overfill the Max. level that marked on the bowl.

4. Select the desired attachments, which are depending on the mixing task to be performed: beater for mixing and beating egg, dough hook for kneading, and the whisk for beating and frothing egg white. Attach the beater, whisk or dough hook by positioning the attachment on to the driving shaft then push it upward on the shaft as far as it will go. Turn it clockwise to hook the attachment onto the shaft. (See fig. 3 & 4).

5. If mixing liquid ingredients, place the splashguard over the opening of the bowl after connecting a mixing attachment and lowering the mixer head (See fig. 5).

6. Select a recipe and prepare the ingredients as directed. Add the ingredients into the bowl.

A click sound will be heard when the head has reached the correct position. Do not let the mixing head fall down freely. Always guide as instructed above.

8. Plug the power cord into a standard domestic power outlet. Turn the Speed Selector on to start mixing at lower speed and gradually increase to the desired speed.
   WARNING: Do not insert utensils into the bowl when the appliance is operating.

9. The maximum operation time per use shall not exceed 5 minutes and a minimum of 20 minutes rest time must be maintained between two consecutive cycles. When kneading yeast dough, start the speed selector at a low speed and then increase to a higher speed to achieve the best results.
   NOTE: While operating, put one hand on top of the unit to stabilise the unit and avoid the units wobble.
   NOTE: During kneading, some ingredients may be adhered to the inside of the bowl. To access them, stop the operation, remove the splash guard, disconnect the appliance from the mains outlet and scrape the ingredients from the inside wall of bowl using the spatula provided.

    Note : When Kneading dough, To avoid flour spilling, advise to operate it at speed 1 for 30 seconds first, then adjust the speed to level 3. Do not knead dough over speed.

Helpful Hints

• Never scrape down sides of bowl while mixer is in operation. If scraping is necessary, first turn the mixer OFF.
• When mixing liquid ingredients, always starts off at the lowest speed to avoid splattering.
• Prior to mixing any ingredients, the mixer bowl and wire whisk must be very clean and dry.
• When making mousse, don’t overbeat your egg whites or your cream. If the egg whites are beaten too dry, they’ll fall apart; if the cream is overbeaten, it won’t blend evenly through the mousse.
• When making whipped creams, first chill the bowl and the whisk.
• Do not over-knead dough. Over-kneading will prevent the dough from rising.
• If adding dry ingredients through the splash guard, first measure ingredients onto a piece of parchment paper, then form a cone with the paper to add ingredients through opening.
• Refrigerated ingredients, such as butter and eggs, then should be at room temperature before mixing begins. Set these ingredients out ahead of time.
• To eliminate the possibility of shells or deteriorated-off eggs in your recipe, break eggs into separate container first, then add to the mixture.
• Do not over-beat. Be careful that you only mix/blend mixtures as recommended in your recipe.

2. Raise the mixer head to the “up” locked position.
3. Remove the bowl, splash guard and attachments.
