mashed potato.
whisk ●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.

to use your mixer
1Press down on the head release lever and raise the mixer
head until it locks into position.
to insert a tool 2 Select a tool and push into the tool socket .

●If the mixer head is raised during operation, the machine will stop
working straight away. To re-start the mixer, lower the mixer head,
turn the speed switch to the off position, wait a few seconds and then
re-select the speed. The mixer should resume operating straight away.
●If for any reason power to the mixer is interrrupted and the machine
stops working, turn the speed switch to the off position, wait a few
seconds and then re-select the speed. The mixer should resume
operating straight away.

hints ●Switch off and scrape the bowl with a spatula when necessary.
●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 states otherwise.
●When creaming fat and sugar for cake mixes, always use the fat at room temperature or soften
it first.
●Your mixer has been fitted with ‘soft start’ feature to minimise spillage. However if the machine
is switched on with a heavy mixture in the bowl such as bread dough, you may notice that the
mixer takes a few seconds to reach the selected speed.
points for bread making
important ●Never exceed the maximum capacities stated - you will overload the
machine.
●Some movement of the mixer head is normal when mixing heavy loads such as bread dough.
●The ingredients mix best if you put the liquid in first.
●At intervals stop the machine and scrape the mixture off the dough hook.
●Different batches of flour vary considerably in the quantities of liquid required and the stickiness
of the dough can have a marked effect on the load imposed on the machine. You are advised
to keep the machine under observation whilst the dough is being mixed; the operation should
take no longer than 6-8 minutes.
speed switch
These are a guide only and will vary depending upon the quantity of mix in the bowl and the
ingredients being mixed.

to a higher speed
●beating eggs into creamed mixtures use a medium to high speed
●folding in flour, fruit etc use a low to medium speed
●all in one cakes start on a low speed gradually increasing

Your mixer is fitted with an electronic speed sensor control that is designed to maintain the
speed under different load conditions, such as when kneading bread dough or when eggs are
added to a cake mix. You may therefore hear some variation in speed during the operation as
the mixer adjusts to the load and speed selected - this is normal.
to fit and use the splashguard
1Fit the bowl into the base and add the ingredients.
2Fit the tool then lower the mixer head
3Fit the splashguard onto the bowl by sliding the cut away
section around the mixer head .
4To remove the splashguard reverse the above
procedure.
●During mixing, ingredients can be added
directly to the bowl via the chute.
