Tips
Cake mixes
For preparation of packaged cake mixes, use speed 3 for medium speed and 5 for
high speed. Follow time directions stated on the packaging.
Adding nuts/raisins
Solid foods should be folded in the last few moments of mixing on Speed 1. To
prevent the fruit/nuts from sinking during baking, ensure the batter is thick enough
and dust sticky fruits with flour for better distribution.
Liquid mixtures
Mixtures with a large volume of liquid should be mixed on lower speeds to prevent
splashing. Once the mixture has thickened then the speed can be increased. Here it
is recommended to use the splash guard to reduce spillages.

Tips
Dough/Bread mixtures
Note: There will be some movement in the mixing arm and hinge when mixing
heavy dough.
Always use the dough hook.
Use speed 1 or 2 to mix or knead yeast dough.
Do not exceed 1kg of dough.
Whipping egg whites or cream
Always use the whisk attachment.
Start on a high speed setting (4)
Gradually increase to the highest speed setting (6).
