Hints
• 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
1 Raise the mixer head until it locks.
2 Fit the bowl onto the base.
3 Push the splashguard onto the underside
of the mixer head 6until fully located.
The hinged section should be positioned as
shown.
4 Insert required tool.
5 Lower the mixer head.
• During mixing, ingredients can be added
directly to the bowl via the hinged
section of the splashguard 7.
• You do not need to remove the
splashguard to change tools.
6 Remove the splashguard by raising the
mixer head and pushing it down.
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 KVC30 = 15mm
TYPE KVL40 = 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 8.
4 Using a suitable spanner loosen the nut
sufficiently to allow adjustment of the
shaft 9. 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 shown is for illustration
purpose only.
Dough Hook
This tool is set at the factory and should
require no adjustment.
