The bowl tools and some of their uses

K-beater

For making cakes, biscuits, pastry, icing, fillings, éclairs and mashed potato.

Whisk

For eggs, cream, batters, fatless sponges, meringues, cheesecakes, mousses,

soufflés. Do not use the whisk for heavy mixtures (e.g. creaming fat and sugar) - you could damage it.

Dough Hook

For yeast mixtures only.

To use your bowl tools

Ensure the cord is fully unfolded from the cord storage compartment ⑫ before using the Kitchen Machine.

1 Push the head-lift lever ① down and raise the mixer head until it locks ②.
2 Fit the bowl on the base and turn clockwise ③ to secure in position.
3 Place the required tool into the socket. Then push up ④ and turn ⑤ the tool to lock into position.
Note: If the K-beater or Whisk are not picking up ingredients from the bottom of the bowl refer to the "Tool Adjustment" section.
4 Lower the mixer head by pushing the head release lever down ⑥ and lower the mixer head until it locks ⑦.
5 Plug into the power supply and the ‘mixer ready indicator light’ will illuminate.
6 Start the machine by turning the speed control to the desired speed setting. Use the pulse (P) position for short bursts of maximum speed.
7 After use, return the speed control to 'O' OFF position and unplug your Kitchen Machine.
8 Release the tool by turning clockwise to unlock from the tool socket and then remove.

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 frequently.

• For best results when whisking use eggs at room temperature.

• 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 says otherwise.

Points for bread making Important

• Never exceed the maximum capacities stated - you may 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.

Yeast

• Dried yeast (the type that needs reconstituting): pour the warm water into the bowl. Then add the yeast and the sugar and leave to stand for about 10 minutes until frothy.
• Fresh yeast: crumble into the flour.
• Other types of yeast: follow the manufacturer's instructions.
• Put the dough into a greased polythene bag or a bowl covered with a tea towel. Then leave somewhere warm until doubled in size.

Important

Ensure that no bowl tools are fitted or stored in the bowl when using other outlets.

To fit and use your Splashguard

3 Push the splashguard onto the underside of the mixer head ⑧ until fully located.

The hinged section should be positioned as shown.

• During mixing, ingredients can be added directly to the bowl via the hinged section of the splashguard ⑨.
• You do not need to remove the splashguard to change tools.
  6 Remove the splashguard by raising the mixer head and pushing it down.

Tool Adjustment

K-beater & Whisk

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 KVC51 = 15mm

TYPE KVL61 = 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 10.
4 Using a suitable spanner loosen the nut sufficiently to allow adjustment of the shaft ⑪. 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 11 shown is for illustration purpose only.

Dough Hook

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