To Fit And Use Your Splashguard
Refer to Illustrations S – T
Note: The splash guard is suitable for use with the 7L bowl only.
To assemble
The splashguard assembly consists of 2 pieces: the head shield and the splashguard.
The splashguard cannot be fitted to the bowl unless the shield is fitted.

  1. Raise the mixer’s head until it locks.
  2. Clip the head shield upwards onto the underside of the mixer head until fully located.
  3. Fit the bowl onto the base.
  4. Lower the mixer head.
  5. Rest the splashguard on the bowl rim and then slide forward until fully located.
    During mixing, ingredients can be added directly to the bowl via the feed chute.
  6. To remove the splashguard simply slide it away from the mixer bowl.
  7. To remove the heat shield, raise the mixer’s head until it locks. Remove the tool if fitted, then pull the head shield downwards from the underside of the mixer head
    Note: Only fit or remove the splash guard when the .mixer head is in the locked position.

We recommend that the head shield is removed regularly from the mixer head for cleaning.

Tool Adjustment

Refer to Illustration U
K-beater, Whisk, and Creaming Beater
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 KWL90 = 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.
    Creaming Beater – Ideally it should be in contact with the bowl surface so that it gently wipes the bowl during mixing.
  4. Using a suitable spanner loosen the nut sufficiently to allow adjustment of the 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.
  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 purposes only.

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