The bowl tools and some of their uses

K-beater 

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

Dough Hook 

For yeast mixtures only.

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.

To use your bowl tools 

  1. Turn the head lift lever anti-clockwise and raise the mixer head until it locks 2. Ensure the bowl seating pad 9 is correctly fitted with the symbol uppermost.
  2. Fit the bowl on the base, press down and turn clockwise 3 to secure in position.
  3. Place the required tool into the socket. Then push up 4 and turn 5 the tool to lock into position.
    Note: If the K-beater or Whisk are not picking up ingredients from the bottom of the bowl refer to the “Tool Adjustment” section.
  4. Lift the mixer head slightly then turn the head-lift lever anti-clockwise and lower the mixer head until it locks.
  5. Start the machine by turning the speed control 6 to the desired speed setting. Use the pulse (P) position for short bursts of maximum speed.
  6. After use, return the speed control to ‘O’ OFF position and unplug your Kitchen Machine.
  7. Release the tool by turning clockwise to unlock from the tool socket and then remove.

Hints

  • To fully incorporate the ingredients stop mixing and scrape down the bowl with the spatula frequently.
  • For best results when whisking use eggs at room temperature.
  • 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 says otherwise.

Points for bread making
Important 

  • Never exceed the maximum capacities stated – you may 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.

Yeast

  • Dried yeast (the type that needs reconstituting): pour the warm water into the bowl. Then add the yeast and the sugar and leave to stand for about 10 minutes until frothy.
  • Fresh yeast: crumble into the flour.
  • Other types of yeast: follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Put the dough into a greased polythene bag or a bowl covered with a tea towel. Then leave somewhere warm until doubled in size.

Important

Ensure that no bowl tools are fitted or stored in the bowl when using other
outlets.

Tool Adjustment

K-beater & Whisk 

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 sized spanner:
TYPE KVC30 = 15mm
TYPE KVL40 = 19mm

Then follow the instructions below:

  1. Unplug the appliance.
  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 and K-beater should be almost touching the bottom of the bowl 8.
  4. Using a suitable spanner loosen the nut sufficiently to allow adjustment of the shaft 9. To lower the tool closer to the bottom of the bowl, turn the shaft anticlockwise. 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: Spanner shown is for illustration purpose only.

Dough Hook 

This tool is set at the factory and should require no adjustment.

Care & Cleaning

  • Always switch off and unplug before cleaning.
  • A little grease may appear at the slow speed outlet 2 when you first use it. This is normal – just wipe it off.

Power Unit And Outlet Covers 

  • Wipe with a damp cloth, then dry.
  • Never use abrasives or immerse in water.

Bowl

  • Wash by hand, then dry thoroughly or wash in the dishwasher.
  • Never use a wire brush, steel wool or bleach to clean your stainless steel bowl. Use vinegar to remove limescale.
  • Keep away from heat (cooker tops, ovens, microwaves).

Tools & Splashguard 

Wash by hand, then dry thoroughly or wash in the dishwasher.

Troubleshooting guide

Problem Cause Solution
The whisk or K-beater knocks against the bottom of the bowl or not reaching the ingredients in the bottom of the bowl. Tool at the wrong height and needs adjusting. Adjust the height using a suitable spanner – see “Tool Adjustment” section.
Slow speed attachment cannot be fitted. Check your attachment is compatible for use with your model.
Twist connection system required (Model KAX)
Attachment must have the KAX twist connection system to fit the outlet.
