the mixing tools and some of their uses

K-beater

  • For making cakes, biscuits, pastry, icing, fillings, éclairs and mashed potato.

whisk

  • For eggs, cream, batters, fatless sponges, meringues, cheesecakes, mousses, soufflés. Do not use the whisk for heavy mixtures (e.g. creaming fat and sugar) – you could damage it.

dough hook

  • For yeast mixtures.

folding tool

  • The folding tool is designed for folding light ingredients into heavier mixtures for example meringues, mousses, fruit fools, Genoese sponges, soufflés and to fold flour into cakes mixes. It is not to be used with heavy recipes such as dough, creaming fat and sugar or all in one cake mixes.

creaming beater

  • The creaming beater is designed for creaming and mixing soft ingredients. Do not use with 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 bk then fit one side into the groove before gently hooking the end in place bl. Repeat with the other side bm.

to use your mixer

  1. Lift the head release lever 9 at the back of the kitchen machine 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 Kitchen Machine 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 from the tool socket and then remove.

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.
  • To fully incorporate the ingredients stop mixing and scrape down the bowl with the spatula.
  • Eggs at room temperature are best for whisking.
  • Before whisking egg whites, make sure there is no grease or egg yolk on the whisk or bowl.
  • Use cold ingredients for pastry unless your recipe states otherwise.
  • When creaming fat and sugar for cake mixes, always use the fat at room temperature or soften it first.
  • Your Kitchen Machine has been fitted with a ‘soft start’ feature to minimise 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.

important points for using your folding tool

  • Do not use a high speed as a low speed is required to optimise the folding 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 will be knocked out 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 in using a spatula.

important points for bread making

  • Never exceed the maximum capacities -you will overload the machine.
  • If you hear the machine labouring, switch off, remove half the dough and do each half separately.
  • The ingredients mix best if you put the liquid in first.

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 bn.
  4. Using a suitable spanner loosen the nut sufficiently to allow adjustment of the shaft 9 or bo. 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.
    • 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.
  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 acheived tighten the nut securely.
    Note: Spanner shown is for illustration purpose only.
    Dough Hook: This tool is set at the factory and should require no adjustment.
