OperatingInstructions
BEFORE USING THE MIXER
Beforeusingthemixer,ensurethatallusersarefamiliarwiththecorrectoperationofthemachine.In
particular,careshouldbetakentoensurethatthebowlandmixingtoolsarecorrectlyfittedandthatthe
bowlguardisinpositionpriortostartingthemachine.
SAFETY AT WORK
‐NEVERplaceyourhandoranykitchenutensilinthebowlwhilstthemixerisinoperation.
‐Keephands,hairandclothingawayfrommovingparts.
‐Isolatethemachinefromtheelectricalsupplybyremovingtheplugfromthesocketbefore
cleaning,servicingoradjustinganypartsorattachments.
‐Donotusethemachinewithanycoverorguardremoved.
‐Certainoperatornoticeadvisingaboutthesafeuseofthismixerisattachedtothemachine.
OFFICE, SHOPS AND RAILWAY PREMISES ACT, 1963
TheaboveActrequiresthatthismachineandattachmentsshallbeoperatedonlybyaproperly
instructedpersonorbyanemployeewhoisunderthesupervisionofaproperlyinstructedperson.The
instructionshallincludeindicationofthepossibledangersarisingandtheprecautionstobeobserved.The
Actalsorequiresthatnopersonundertheageof18shallcleanamachineifthisexposeshimtoriskof
injuryfromamovingpartofthatmachineoranyadjacentmachine.
CORRECT USE OF THE MIXER
‐Itistheresponsibilityoftheoperatorstousethemixercorrectlywithintherecommended
limitations.Alwaysfollowtheinstructionsonthesideofthemachinewhenchanginggear.Ifthe
motorlabors,pleasestopthemachineandreducethesizeofthemiximmediately.Damage
resultingfromimproperuseiswillvoidthewarranty.
‐Foroperatorsafety,themachineisfittedwithabowlguardwhichiselectricallyinterlockerto
ensurethatthemixercannotoperateunlesstheguardiscorrectlypositionedandthebowlisraised.
Excessiveforceusedtoopenandclosethebowlguardmaydamagetheelectricallyinterlocker,and
willvoidthewarranty.
‐Foradditionalsafety,themixerhasanovoltreleasefeaturewhichmeansthatintheeventofa
powerfailure,themachinewillonlyrestartafterthecontrolbuttonhasbeenpressedagain.This
arrangementensuresthatwhenthesupplyisrestored,themachinecannotrestartonitsown.
‐Carefulhandlingofbaggedproductsbyminimizingtheheightabovethebowlbasefromwhichthey
arepoured.
‐Carefulslittingofbagsinthelowerpartofthebowltoallowdustfreedischargeofflourasflouras
possible.
‐Usetemporarybowlcoverstominimizeopeningsthroughwhichflourmanyescape.

TOOL SELECTION
Thebeater,whiskandspiraldoughhookaretoolsfor
theworkimpliedbytheirnames.Donotusethebeater
fordoughmakingorthewhiskforanythingotherthan
whisking,aeratingormixinglightmixtures.
TheTable1showsthetypicalusesforeachofthe
tools.Formoredetails,pleaserefertoPage14.
NOTE:Alwayswashagitatorwithmildsoapandapply
lightquantityofmineraloiltoplanetaryshaftafter
cleaning.
FITTING THE BOWL
Withthebowlcradlelowered,placethechosenmixingtoolinthebowl
andpositionthebowlonthecradle.Therearethreelocationpointswhen
fittingthebowl.PleaserefertoFigure2:
(1)Thelockingpinattherearofthebowlshouldlocateintheholeofthe
cradle.
(2)Thetwoholesinthebowlhandlesmustengageonthepinslocatedonthe
cradle.
(3)Pleaseensurethatthebowlisseatedcorrectlyonthecradlebefore
securingthebowllockinglatchespriortouse.
(ForBiggerCapacityMixer,above50qt)
NOTE:Pleaseusebowltrucktoloadandunloadbowlcontainingmorethan
50lbsperbatch.
FITTING THE MIXING TOOL
Slidethebayonetfittingoftheagitatorontothedriveshaftandtwistclockwiseto
secureitinposition.Toremovetheagitator,slidethetooluptheshaftslightlyandtwist
counterclockwise.PleaserefertoFigure3.
NOTE:InstallthebowlBEFOREinsertingagitators.
NOTE:Agitatorsshouldalwaysrotateinaclockwisedirectionaroundbowl.Ifagitators
movecounterclockwise,pleasecontactlicensedelectricianimmediatelytoremedy
incorrectwiring.
BOWL LIFT & BOWL GUARD
Thebowlcradleandbowlguardareelectricallyinterlockedsothatthemachinewillonlyoperatewith
thebowlcradleattheraisedposition.Inadditiontothis,thebowlguardmustbelockedintoplaceby
slidingitintopositionacrossthetopofthebowltothepointwhereitwillslidenofurther.
NOTE:Onlyoncethebowlisraisedandthebowlguardlocked,themachinecanoperate.Thusensuring
totalusersafetyatalltimes.Oncetheguardhasbeenopenedorthebowllowered,themachinewill
stopimmediately.TheMixercanonlyberestartedbypressingthestartbuttonagain.
Duringthemixingprocess,additionalingredientscanbeaddedbythechutelocatedontherighthand
