General Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Read this manual thoroughly before first use, even if you are familiar with this
type of product. The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and injury when correctly adhered to. Keep the manual in a safe
place for future reference, along with the completed warranty card, purchase
receipt and carton. If applicable, pass these instructions on to the next owner of
the appliance.
Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures
when using an electrical appliance, including the following:
Electrical Safety and Cord Handling
• Connection: Only connect the fully assembled appliance to a readily accessible
electrical wall outlet, and make sure that your outlet voltage and frequency
correspond to the voltage stated on the appliance rating label.
• Protect from moisture: Do not place the appliance near a sink or basin so that
the appliance, the mains plug and the power cord cannot accidentally come into
contact with water. If the appliance, mains plug or cord falls into water, turn off
the power immediately. Do not reach into the water!
• WARNING: Do not immerse! To reduce the risk of electrocution, never operate
this product with wet hands. Never immerse the device, the mains plug and/or
the power cord in water or other liquid.
• Power cord: Do not kink, squash or damage the power cord and protect it
from sharp edges and heat. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or
benchtop; do not let it touch hot surfaces. Keep it out of children's reach.
• Extension cord: We recommend you do not use the appliance with an
extension cord. But if you must use one, make sure it has the same technical
specifications as the one of the appliance.
• Cord handling: Unwind the power cord completely for use. The cord as well as
any extension cord required should be run in such a way that there will be no
risk of anyone pulling it inadvertently or tripping over it.
• Damage: Do not pick up or operate the appliance if the power supply cord, plug
or housing is damaged, or after it malfunctions or has been damaged in any
manner. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer
or a qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. In case of damage, contact
our after sales support line for advice.
• RCD: Unless your home is already fitted with a residual current device (safety
switch), we recommend installing an RCD with a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30mA to provide additional safety protection when using
electrical appliances. See your electrician for professional advice.

FAQs and Troubleshooting Guide
If you encounter problems with your stand mixer, check in the table below for
solutions to common problems. If none of the suggested solutions help you solve
the problem, or if you experience any other problems with your stand mixer, do not
try and manage them by yourself. Contact our after sales support centre for advice
on repair or replacement.
Problem Possible cause and solution
The mixer does not work. Check and ensure that the machine is properly
connected to the wall outlet and that power is
switched on at the outlet.
Make sure that the power outlet is not defective,
check it with another appliance, or use a different
outlet.
Check and ensure that the speed control dial is set
to the appropriate mixing speed (between positions
1 and 6).
Turning the speed control
dial has no effect.
Make sure the mixer head has been lowered
properly into the bowl and has audibly clicked into
place. The appliance will not work until the mixer
head is securely in place.
The mixer stops during
operation.
Make sure the mixing bowl is not overfilled. If the
bowl is too full, the motor may overheat and stop
working. In such a case, switch off and unplug the
appliance and remove some dough from the bowl.
Wait for at least 30 minutes and then continue
processing half of the dough until ready, then
process the remainder separately.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The stand mixer is equipped with an overload protection, which switches off the
motor if the appliance is overloaded. In such a case, switch off and unplug the
appliance and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before restarting. If the bowl is very
full, remove some dough from the bowl before restarting the appliance. Continue
processing half the dough until ready, then process the remainder separately.

Basic Pizza Dough
Ingredients
200ml Lukewarm water
25g Yeast
1 tsp Salt
Optional: ½ tsp dried onion or garlic powder, or dried herbs to taste
Splash of extra virgin olive oil
300g Flour
Method
• In the bowl of your Stand Mixer, combine the water, yeast, salt (and any
optional flavouring ingredients).
• Attach the dough hook to the mixer head, then place the mixing bowl into its
place on the base and turn to secure. Lower the dough hook into the bowl and
start mixing gently on a low speed setting until the yeast dissolves.
• Add the oil and the flour and continue mixing until the dough becomes elastic
and starts to pull away from the bowl. Then increase the mixing speed and mix
until the dough is sticky and smooth.
NOTE: Do not mix continuously for more than 6 minutes at any one time.
Should a longer mixing time be required, let the machine rest for
10 minutes in between consecutive cycles.
• Grease a large metal bowl with olive oil. Form the dough into a ball, transfer
it to the bowl and cover it with plastic wrap and a towel. Let the dough rise
in a warm place for about 2 hours, or until it doubles in size (in hot, humid
conditions this may take less time).
• After rising, briefly knead the dough for a few minutes with a little olive oil. For
a thin crust, divide the dough in half and roll out the pizza crust on a lightly
floured surface to fit your pizza stone, tray or pizza maker. For a thicker crust,
stretch out all the dough with your hands and roll until it is the size of a large
pizza pan.
• Preheat your oven to its maximum temperature, or preheat your pizza maker
according to the instructions. Spread a sauce and/or cheese over the base,
add your toppings and finish with a sprinkling of grated mozzarella cheese. Do
not use too much filling on the pizza.
• Bake the pizza until the base is crisp and the topping hot and melted.
