Using attachments

Before inserting or removing attachments, always make sure stand mixer is unplugged and speed control is set to OFF .

The dough hook should be used for heavy pastries and heavier doughs that require kneading.

WHISK

The whisk is designed to whip liquids, such as egg whites, cream and light cake batters. Use the whisk to incorporate air for whipped cream and meringues. Do not use the whisk for mixing thick mixtures, such as dough, fudge or mashed potatoes, as these could damage the whisk.

  • Your stand mixer is designed to whisk a minimum of 2 large egg whites or 120 ml (1/2 cup) of cream. Mixing performance is enhanced as the tip of the whisk  is immersed into the liquid.

STAND MIXER TIPS

GENERAL MIXING TIPS
  •  Place liquid ingredients into bowl first and then add dry ingredients.
  • Always stay near stand mixer during use.
  • To begin mixing, use the lower speed settings until the ingredients are thoroughly combined. This will reduce splattering.
  • Always add ingredients as close to the sides of the bowl as possible, not  directly into the moving attachment.
  • Mixtures containing large amounts of liquid ingredients should be mixed  at lower speeds to avoid splashing. Increase speed only after the mixture has thickened.
  • When mixing thin batters, use medium speeds and frequently stop the mixer  to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
  • Ensure butter or margarine is at room temperature before adding to the mixer.
  • Add ingredients one at a time, thoroughly mixing after each addition.
  • Add flour a bit at a time.
  • If a spoon or other tool is accidentally caught in an attachment or the motor  stalls, turn the speed control to OFF ( ), then unplug.
EGG WHITES

Place egg whites in a clean, dry mixing bowl. Attach bowl and whisk. To avoid splashing, gradually turn speed control to desired speed. See chart below.

AMOUNT SETTING
2 to 8 egg whites up to 10
10 or more egg whites up to 8

Your stand mixer beats egg whites quickly. Watch it carefully to avoid overbeating. Here is what to expect:

Frothy: Large, uneven air bubbles.
Begins to hold shape: Air bubbles are fine and compact; product is white.
Soft peaks: Tips of peaks fall over when the whisk is removed.
Almost stiff: Sharp peaks form when whisk is removed, but whites are still soft.
Stiff but not dry: Sharp, stiff peaks form when whisk is removed. Whites are uniform in colour and glisten.
Stiff and dry: Sharp, stiff peaks form when whisk is removed. Whites are specked and dull in appearance.

WHIPPED CREAM

Pour cold whipping cream into chilled bowl. Attach bowl and whisk. To avoid
splashing, gradually turn to designated speed and whip to desired thickness. See chart below.

AMOUNT SETTING
up to 946 ml (2 pints) up to 10
946+ ml (2+ pints) up to 8

Your stand mixer whips cream very quickly. Watch cream closely during whipping because there are just a few seconds between whipping stages. Look for these characteristics:

Begins to thicken: Cream is thick and custard-like.
Holds its shape: Cream forms soft peaks when whisk is removed. Can be folded into other ingredients when making desserts and sauces.
Stiff: Cream stands in stiff, sharp peaks when whisk is removed. Use for topping on cakes or desserts, or filling for cream puffs.

Care recommendations

WARNING :  Electric shock hazard. Do not immerse mixer, cable or plug in water or any other liquid.

BEFORE CLEANING
  1. Make sure stand mixer is unplugged and speed control is set to OFF .
  2. Remove the attachment by pushing it upwards into the attachment coupling. Turn the attachment anti-clockwise until it unlocks. Pull down and remove.
CLEANING  
Base, control panel, lead Wipe with a damp cloth or sponge. Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners.
Bowl For best results, we recommend hand-washing the bowl. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Flat beater, dough hook, whisk, splash/ pouring shield These items can be washed in a dishwasher.

NOTE: The splash/pouring shield is dishwasher-safe, in the top rack only. DO NOT use the high temperature/intensive setting when washing in the dishwasher. A high temperature/intensive cycle could damage the product. Parts may also be washed with hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Troubleshooting

Food is not mixed.

  • Place liquid ingredients in the bowl before adding dry ingredients.
  • Stop stand mixer and scrape sides of bowl.
  • Increase speed.

Food splatters during mixing.

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

Stand mixer ‘walks’ (moves) on worktop during mixing.

  • Reduce speed.
  • Reduce quantity of ingredients in bowl.
  • Make sure worktop is clean. This allows the mixer feet to grip the worktop and reduce stand mixer movement.

Stand mixer shuts off during use.

  • There is a 30-minute auto shut-off feature.
  • Stand mixer has overheated. Turn off, unplug and wait for 15 minutes before using.
  •  Mixing implements have become obstructed. Turn off, unplug and remove obstruction.
