To Use Your Mixer

Lift the head release lever 9 at the back of the Stand mixer 1 and at the same time lift the head 1 until it locks in the raised position 2.
Place the required tool into the socket. Then push up 3 and turn 4 the tool to lock into position.

Lift the head release lever 9 at the back of the Stand mixer and at the same time lower the mixer head 1.
Plug into the power supply and the ‘mixer ready indicator light’ will illuminate.
Switch on by turning the speed control to the desired setting.

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.
Your Stand mixer has been fitted with a ‘soft start’ feature to minimize 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.

Recommended Usage Chart
This is for guidance only and will vary depending on the exact recipe and
ingredients being processed.

Recommended Usage Chart This is for guidance only and will vary depending on the exact recipe and ingredients being processed.
	K-beater For making cakes, biscuits, pastry, icing, ﬁllings, eclairs and mashed potato.
	Hints and Tips • To avoid splashing of ingredients gradually increase the speed. • To fully incorporate the ingredients, stop mixing and scrape down the bowl with the spatula frequently. • Use cold ingredients for pastry unless your recipe says otherwise.

All In one cake mixes	Total Weight		2kg		Min Max		1
	Creaming Beater For creaming and mixing soft ingredients.
	Hints and Tips • To avoid splashing of ingredients gradually increase the speed. • When creaming fat and sugar for cake mixes, always use the fat at room temperature or soften it first. • Do not use with heavy recipes such as dough or hard ingredients, for example, those containing fruit stones, bones or shells.

	Whisk For eggs, cream, batters, fatless sponges, meringues, cheesecakes, mousses, soufflé’s
	Important • To avoid splashing of ingredients gradually increase the speed. • Do not use the whisk for heavy mixtures (all in one cake and creaming fat & sugar) as you could damage it. • Best results achieved when eggs are at room temperature. Before whisking egg whites, make sure there is no grease or egg yolk on the whisk or the bowl.

		Dough Tool For yeasted dough mixes
		Hints and Tips Important • Never exceed the maximum capacities and speeds stated you may overload the machine. • If you hear the machine laboring, switch off, remove half the dough and do each half separately. • The ingredients mix best if you put the liquid in ﬁrst. • At intervals stop the machine and scrape the mixture off the dough tool. Yeast • Dried Yeast (the type that needs reconstituting): pour the warm water into the bowl. Then add the yeast and sugar and leave to stand for 10 minutes until frothy. • Fresh yeast: crumble into the ﬂour • Other types of yeast: follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

	Folding Tool The folding tool is designed for folding light ingredients into heavier mixtures for example meringues, mousses, fruit fools, Genoese sponges, soufflé’s, and to fold the flour into cake mixes.
	Hints and Tips Important • It is not to be used with heavy recipes such as dough, creaming fat, and sugar or all-in-one cake mixes. • When adding flour to a mix, place it on a sheet of grease-proof paper. Fold the side in to form a spout. Gradually add the flour to the mix using the fold function. • Do not use a high speed as a low speed is required to optimize 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 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 using a spatula.

To Fit And Use Your Splashguard

Raise the mixer’s head until it locks.
Fit the bowl onto the base.
Push the splash guard onto the underside of the mixer head 6 until fully located. The hinged section should be positioned as shown.
Insert required tool.
Lower the mixer head.
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.

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:

Unplug the machine.
Raise the mixer head and insert the whisk or beater.
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 13.
Using a suitable spanner loosen the nut sufficiently to allow adjustment of the 9 or 14 shaft. 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.
Re-tighten the nut.
Fit the tool to the mixer and lower the mixer head. (Check its position see points above).
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 purposes only.
Dough Tool
This tool is set at the factory and should require no adjustment.

Creaming Beater

The creaming beater is designed for creaming and mixing soft ingredients. Do not use 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 10 then fit one side into the groove before gently hooking the end in place 11. Repeat with the other side 12.

Care and Cleaning
