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 off position, wait a few seconds and

then re-select the speed. The mixer should resume operating

Whenever the mixer head is raised the mixer ready indicator light

will go out. When the head is lowered, the light will glow indicating

the mixer is ready to use.

Switch off and scrape the bowl with a spatula when necessary.

Use the fold position for slow incorporation of ingredients such

as when mixing flour and fruit into cake mixes. Simply turn the

switch to . The mixer will operate for 2

⁄2 revolutions and then

automatically stop. The switch should then be returned to the off

‘O’ position. Repeat as necessary.

Eggs at room temperature are best for whisking.

Before whisking egg whites, make sure there’s no grease or egg

yolk on the whisk or bowl.

Use cold ingredients for pastry unless your recipe states otherwise.

When creaming fat and sugar for cake mixes, always use the fat at

room temperature or soften it first.

Your mixer has been fitted with a ‘soft start’ feature to minimise

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.

points for bread making

Never exceed the maximum capacities below - you will overload

To protect the life of the machine always allow a rest of 20 minutes

If you hear the machine labouring, 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

Different batches of flour vary considerably in the quantities of liquid

required and the stickiness of the dough can have a marked effect

on the load imposed on the machine. You are advised to keep the

machine under observation whilst the dough is being mixed; the

operation should take no longer than 5 minutes.

These are a guide only and will vary depending upon the quantity of

mix in the bowl and the ingredients being mixed.

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 -

shortcrust pastry 680g flour

fruit cake mix 2.72 Kg total mix

stiff bread dough 1.35 Kg flour

soft bread dough 1.3 Kg flour

adjustment of the shaft . To lower the tool closer to the

bottom of the bowl, turn the tool shaft anti-clockwise.

To raise the tool away from the bottom of the bowl turn

the shaft clockwise.

5 Fit the tool to the mixer and lower the mixer head. Check its

position (see point 1).
