• 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.

• To fully incorporate the ingredients stop mixing and scrape down the bowl with the spatula.

• Eggs at room temperature are best for whisking.

• Before whisking egg whites, make sure there is 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 Kitchen Machine 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. 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. important points for using your folding tool

• Do not use a high speed as a low speed is required to optimise the folding 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 will be knocked out 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 in using a spatula. the mixer 5important points for bread making

• Never exceed the maximum capacities - you will overload the machine.

• 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 hook.

• 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 mixer
