MIXING
This section explains operation of the mixer and how to install bowls and agitators.
BOWL
New mixer bowls and agitators (beaters, whips, spiral dough hook, ingredient chute and splash cover) should
be thoroughly washed with hot water and a mild soap solution, rinsed with either a mild soda or vinegar solution,
and thoroughly rinsed with clear water before being put into service. This cleaning procedure should also be fol-
lowed for bowls and agitators before whipping egg whites or whole eggs.
The bowl must be installed before the agitator. To install the bowl, fully lower the bowl support (Fig.3).
30 quart Mixer - Position the bowl so two large holes on bowl tabs are above the bowl pins on the bowl support,
then turn counter-clockwise until it stops. Bowl will be locked when it is raised to mix position.
40 quart Mixer - Position the bowl so two holes on bowl tabs are above the bowl pins on the bowl support, then
lift the bowl lift arm to raise the bowl. Bowl will be locked when it is raised to mix position.
AGITATOR
To install an agitator (Fig. 4), the bowl must be installed and fully lowered. Place the agitator in the bowl, push it
up on the agitator shaft, and turn it clockwise to seat the shaft pin in the slot of the agitator shank.
ATTACHMENTS (Optional for the 30 & 40 quart mixers)
To install an attachment, loosen the thumb screw on the attachment hub (Fig.1A, page 5) and remove the plug.
Insert the attachment into the attachment hub making certain that the square shank of the attachment is in the
square driver of the mixer. Secure the attachment by tightening the thumb screw.
The meat and food chopper attachment must be operated in Speed 1. If material in the cylinder stalls the
mixer, stop the mixer at once. Do not attempt to restart the mixer in a lower speed. Unplug power cord and
then remove the adjusting ring, knife, plate, and worm and clear the obstruction. This attachment must not be
used to chop bread crumbs.
Attachment hub must not be used while mixing product.
Close bowl guard/wire cage and raise bowl support to mix postion, move the speed select knob to the desired
speed and start the mixer to operate the attachment. If bowl support is lowered off the mix position, mixer will
stop.

The mixer should be thoroughly cleaned daily.
Bowls and agitators should be removed from the mixer and cleaned in a sink.
DO NOT use a hose to clean the mixer — it should be washed with a clean damp cloth.
Clean the bowl guard/wire cage by wiping with a cloth or sponge and warm soapy water.
