Operation You can use the processor/hand mixer to mix, knead and whisk food. The mixer and mixing bowl are each driven separately by their own motors, and the speeds of the mixer and mixing bowl can be individually adjusted. However the mixer/processor has a single ON/OFF switch. The mixer can be easily removed from the processor stand in a moment and used as a standard hand mixer. When used in this way, move the hand mixer in a smooth circular motion around the inside of the bowl containing the ingredients.

The dough hooks (Figure 1/M) are used for heavy doughs, such as yeast dough, short crust pastry, potato batters and cake mixes. The whisk (Figure 1/L) is suitable for light cake mixes, egg white, cream, mayonnaise, purées and for stirring sauces and dessert powders.

• Stand Mixer 400 models are supplied with a plastic mixing bowl.
• Stand Mixer 450 models are supplied with a stainless steel mixing bowl with lid. Preparing for use Inserting/removing accessories (Figure 3) Before releasing the accessories, switch off the mixer and remove the plug from the mains socket! 0 Push the whisks or dough hooks into the accessory slots on the underside of the mixers, until they click into place. 1 The two dough hooks have different plug shapes and must be pushed into the correct slots. Insertion the wrong way round would lead to the dough being transported upwards! 0 One of the dough hooks has an additional small ring near the collar on the shaft. This dough hook will only fit in the slot for which it is intended. This is identified by a symbol.

0 To remove the accessories, hold firmly with one hand, while pressing the accessory release button (Figure 1/A). Raising/lowering the mixer (Figure 4) Ensure that the mixer is switched off before raising/lowering! 0 Press the raise/lower button (Figure 1/F) and swing the mixer up or down, until it clicks in place.

Fitting the mixer to/removing from the processor stand (Figure 2) Before fitting or removing the mixer, switch off the processor/mixer and remove the plug from the mains socket! 0 To fit, push the mixer on to the processor stand (the two latches on the processor stand engage in the mixer) and press down to lock. 0 To remove, press the lock release (Figure 1/G) and pull the mixer upwards. Locating/removing the mixing bowl (Figure 5)

With the mixer raised, the accessories can be easily changed and the mixing bowl located on the processor stand or removed. 0 Locate the mixing bowl on the guide on the base and latch in place by gently turning clockwise. 0 To remove the mixing bowl, turn anticlockwise to unlatch.

It may be necessary to hold the base to prevent it rotating. The off-centre position of the mixer makes it easy to add ingredients while the processor is in operation.

Working with the mixer/ processor

When the mixer is attached to the processor stand, the mixing bowl is automatically switched on when the mixer is switched on.

The appliance can be used for up to 10 minutes without stopping. It should be allowed to cool each time following prolonged, continuous operation (for at least 20 minutes after using for 10 minutes without stopping).

Maximum processing quantities: Processing in the mixing bowl must not exceed 1.5 kg solid or 1.75 l liquid foodstuffs. Switching the mixer ON (Figure 6) 0 Select the speed range with the speed range selector switch (Figure 1+6/C): low speeds, or high speeds. 0 The ON/OFF switch (Figure 1+6/B) is used to: – switch the mixer ON and OFF, – control the mixer speed (5 speed settings) in the pre-selected speed range. 0 As long as the Pulse button (Figure 1+6/D) is pressed and held when the appliance is in operation, the mixer operates at its maximum speed. Selecting the mixing bowl speed (Figure 7) The mixing bowl has two speed settings. 0 The mixing bowl speed selector switch (Figure 1/H) is used to select the mixing bowl speed: I = low speed II = high speed Switching the mixer OFF 0 Slide the ON/OFF switch (Figure 1+6/B) to "0". – The mixer and mixing bowl are switched off. Selecting the correct settings The following notes can be used as a guide. Mixer speed Speed range selector switch (Figure 1+6/C) ON/OFF switch (Figure 1+6/B)

• Kneading, Mixing: start with 1 or 2, than speed up to 5

• Stirring: start with 2 or 3, than speed up

• Whisking, Frothing: 4 or 5

Start all types of processing at a low speed. This will avoid powdery foods and liquids spraying out.
