Do not scrape frequently the Bowl while the Stand Mixer is operating. The Bowl and Beater are designed to provide thorough mixing without frequent scraping. Scraping the Bowl once or twice during mixing is usually sufficient. Turn Off the Mixer before thoroughly scraping the bowl.

MIXING TIME
Your Bowl Lift Stand Mixer will mix faster and more thoroughly than most other electric Mixers. It is designed so that all the motion takes place in the Beaters / Attachments with the bowl staying stationary. Therefore, the mixing time in most traditional and non-packaged recipes should be adjusted to avoid overbeating. Cakes, for example, may need only half as much beating time as with other mixers.

MIXER TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

To help determine the ideal mixing time for a recipe, observe the batter or dough and mix only until it has the desired appearance described in your recipe, such as “smooth and creamy”.

Always add ingredients as close to the side of the bowl as possible, not directly into the moving beater. When using the splash guard, you can add ingredients into its funnel opening.

When adding Nuts, Raisins or Candied Fruits, follow individual recipes for guidelines about includ-ing these ingredients. In general, solid materials should be folded in during the last few seconds of mixing onSpeed 1 (Pulse). The batter should be thick enough to prevent the fruit or nuts from sinking to the bottom of the pan during baking. Sticky fruits should be dusted with flour for better distribution in the batter.

Mixtures containing large amounts of liquid ingredients should be mixed at lower speeds to avoid splashing. Increase mixer speed only after the mixture has thickened.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING : Injury Hazard: Unplug mixer before touching beaters or other accessories. Failure to do so can result in broken bones, cuts or bruises.

Always unplug Stand Mixer before cleaning. Do not immerse Mixer in water. The exterior of the Mixer should only be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.

NOTE : Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads when cleaning your Stand Mixer. NEVER immerse the body of the Stand Mixer in water or any liquid.

Beaters, Attachments and Bowls should be washed as soon as possible after use to keep food from drying on them.

Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
