- The underside of the bowl will remain hot long after the heating has stopped. Use caution when handling and use the work surface protection mat provided to protect heat sensitive surfaces.
Hints and Tips
- Some recipes, in particular those with a high water content, will not be able to reach a cooking temperature above 100°C (as this is the boiling point of water).
- When adding ingredients to the bowl during cooking, turn the speed down and add the ingredients slowly and evenly.
- To heat sauces quickly use a continuous stir setting.
- If using the splashguard during cooking, always remove it before lifting the mixer head. Be aware of condensation formed on the splashguard and heat shield.
- When lifting the mixer head lift it slowly to allow any liquid on the underside of the heat shield to flow back into the bowl.
- Four stir delay functions are available which enable you to select the appropriate amount of stirring for individual recipes. Some recipes will require constant stirring to stop ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the bowl, whereas others will benefit from intermittent stirring to maintain the texture of the food.
