FITTING THE ATTACHMENTS

1. Switch off (O) before fitting or removing the whisks/hooks.
2. Use both wire whisks or both hooks, don't mix them.
3. Fit the wire whisk/hook with the flange to the drive head with the large hole (FIG A).
4. You may fit the balloon whisk to either drive head.
5. Align the pips on the shaft with the slots in the drive head.
6. Push the shaft into the drive head till it clicks into place.

REMOVING THE ATTACHMENTS

1. Switch off (O) and unplug the mixer, then shake any excess mixture into the mixing bowl.
2. Hold both whisks/hooks, to prevent them jumping out, then press ▲ to eject them from the drive heads.

USING YOUR MIXER

1. Move the switch to the right to switch on.
2. Choose a speed between 1 (low), and 5 (high).
3. Slide the switch fully left (O) to switch off.
4. Press the turbo button Ⓞ to over-ride the speed switch, for a burst of high speed. This only works when the motor is already running (1 to 4).

TIMINGS AND SPEEDS

• If you're using a recipe book, follow the recipe.
• If you've no recipe, you'll need to experiment to find the best settings.
• Timing and speed will vary with the amount, thickness, and composition of the mix.
• Generally, large quantities, thick mixes, and a high ratio of solids to liquids need longer timings and slower speeds.
• Smaller quantities, thinner mixes, and more liquids than solids need shorter timings and higher speeds.

- Speed and timing aren't critical. If you're unsure, use short bursts.

HINTS AND TIPS

• Use the wire whisks for beating/aerating light dough and batter.
• Use the balloon whisk for beating/aerating egg whites and cream.
• To avoid splashing, don’t start the mixer till the whisks are immersed in the food/liquid to be mixed.
• Use the hooks for heavier dough (e.g. bread, fruit-cake).
• Don't use the hooks for kneading dough, just for mixing the ingredients. Kneading will overload the motor.
• Kneading dough by hand is kinder, and gives better results.
• If you need to set the mixer down, switch off (O), and shake any mixture off the whisks/hooks before removing them from the mixing bowl.
• You may stand the mixer on its end.
• Don't run the mixer for more than 5 minutes at a time. After 5 minutes, let it rest for 5 minutes.
• If the motor starts to labour, add more liquid to the mix, if possible, or switch off (O) and carry on by hand.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. Switch off (O) and unplug the mixer before cleaning.
2. Wipe outer surfaces with a damp cloth.
3. Wash the whisks and hooks in hot soapy water, or in the cutlery basket of your dishwasher.

QUICK RECIPE

Basic Biscuits (using the wire whisks)

• 100g (4oz) butter
  • 150g (6oz) caster sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 1 medium egg
  • 100g (4oz) plain flour
  • 100g (4oz) self raising flour

Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla essence at medium speed for 1-2 minutes till light, pale and fluffy. Reduce speed, add the egg, then gradually increase speed till everything has combined.

Sift the flours together then work them into the mixture.

Form into balls, put them on a greased baking tray, flatten them slightly, then bake in a pre-heated oven at 180^ C for 12-15 minutes.

Cool on the tray for a few minutes, then move to a wire rack.
