8 Pull the speed switch backwards
to reach the desired speed (the
first dot on the mixer is the slowest
speed setting). Line up the dot on
the side of the speed switch with the
corresponding speed.
lAs the mixture thickens, increase the
speed.
lIf the machine starts to slow or
labour, increase the speed.
lMove the switch forwards to the
pulse “P” position to operate the
motor at maximum speed. The
motor will operate for as long as the
pulse is held in position.

desired consistency, return the
speed switch to the off “O” position
and raise the mixer/cradle.

the mixing operation.

the speed switch is in the off “O”
position and unplug the mixer. Hold

hints
lWhen creaming for cake mixtures,
use butter or margarine at room
temperature or soften before use.
lFor best results with small quantities,
use the handmixer without the
stand.
lLarge quantities and thick mixtures
may require a longer mixing time.
lIf you wish to mix larger quantities
or heavier mixes, remove the mixer
from the stand and use a bowl of an
appropriate size.
lTo re-knead bread doughs
remove the mixer from the
stand and use hand held.
