FEATURES

To Use Your Mixer

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

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:

1. Unplug the machine.

2. Raise the mixer head and insert the whisk or beater.

3. 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).

4. Using a suitable spanner loosen the nut sufficiently to allow adjustment of the shaft (9) or (14). 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.

5. Re-tighten the nut.

6. Fit the tool to the mixer and lower the mixer head. (Check its position see points above).

7. Repeat the above steps as necessary until the tool is set correctly. Once this is achieved tighten the nut securely.

Note: The spanner shown is for illustration purposes only.

Dough Tool

Creaming Beater
