the mixing tools and some of their uses
For making cakes, biscuits, pastry, icing, fillings, éclairs and mashed
potato.
For eggs, cream, batters, fatless sponges, meringues, cheesecakes,
mousses, soufflés. Don’t use the whisk for heavy mixtures (eg creaming
fat and sugar) - you could damage it.
For yeast mixtures.

Turn the head-lift lever anti-clockwise and raise the mixer head till it
locks.
Turn till it stops then push.
Fit the bowl onto the base - press down and turn clockwise 
Turn the head-lift lever anti-clockwise and lower the mixer head till it locks.
Select a speed, then switch on by turning the speed switch.

Eggs at room temperature are best for whisking.
Before whisking egg whites, make sure there’s no grease or egg yolk
on the whisk or bowl.
Use cold ingredients for pastry unless your recipe says otherwise.
points for bread making
Never exceed the maximum capacities below - you’ll 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.
