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

problem
The whisk or K-beater knocks against the bottom of the bowl or isn’t
reaching the ingredients in the bottom of the bowl.
Adjust the height. Here’s how:
Unplug.
Raise the mixer head and insert the whisk or beater.
Hold it, then loosen the nut 
Lower the mixer head.
Adjust the height by turning the shaft. Ideally the whisk/K-beater should
be almost touching the bottom of the bowl 
Raise the head, hold the whisk/K-beater and tighten the nut.
care
The bowl, whisk, 'K' beater and dough hook may be washed in sudsy
water. Your mixer needs only to be wiped over with a damp cloth.
Always switch off and remove plug from power supply. Never use
abrasives and never put the machine in water. After initial use a small
amount of grease may appear at the outlets after running in. This may
be wiped away and will not effect the performance of your machine.
to fit and use your round/D-shaped
splashguard (if supplied)
Raise the mixer head until it locks.
Fit the bowl onto the base.
Push the splashguard on until fully located . The hinged section
should be positioned as shown round  and D-shaped 
Insert required tool.
Lower the mixer head ensuring the splashguard follows the shape of
the bowl.
During mixing, ingredients can be added directly to the bowl via the
hinged section of the splashguard.
You do not need to remove the splashguard to change tools.
Remove the splashguard by raising the mixer head and sliding it down.
