PleaseseeFigure1.
‐DONOTattempttoliftthemixeralone.This
machineis15kg.Thetransportationshould
requiretwopeople,pleaseseeFigure2
‐Cleanthemixerbeforeuse.Itisnormalforthe
factorytoapplyagenerousamountofgrease
inandonthemachinebeforeinitialuse.
‐Duringthetransportationorfitting,pleasedo
notleanover35degreetoavoidthegearoil
leakingfromthegearoilcontainer.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
CAUTION:NEVERUSEEXTENSIONCORD.Lowampsupplycoulddamagethemixerorcauseafire.

Beforeconnectingthismachinetotheelectricalsupply,checkthatthedetailsontheratingplate(located
ontherearofthemachine)correspondtothedetailsofyourelectricalconnection.

Themixerissuppliedwithatrailingleadfittedwithamoldedplug.Ifthestyleofplugisunsuitableforthe
socketyouplantouse,theplugmustbecutoffandreplacedwithanappropriateplug.
Machinesarefittedwithacolorcodedthreecorecableasfollows:
(1) Brown:Live
(2) Blue:Neutral
(3) Green/Yellow:Earth

Asthecolorofthewiresmaynotcorrespondtothecoloredmarkingsidentifyingtheterminalsinyour
plug,youshouldproceedasfollows:
‐Thewirewhichiscoloredbluemustbeconnectedtotheterminalwhichismarkedwiththe
letterNorcoloredblack.
‐Thewirewhichiscoloredbrownmustbeconnectedtotheterminalwhichismarkedwiththe

‐Thewirewhichiscoloredgreen/yellowmustbeconnectedtotheterminalwhichismarkedwith
theletterEorcoloredgreen.
Themixershouldbepluggedintoaswitchedsocketwhichisolatesallpolesandhasaminimumcontact
clearanceof3mmandlocatedclosetothemixerforuseinanemergencyandtofacilitateservicing.
Themachinemustbeincorporatedintoapotentialequalizationsystem.
Theleakagecurrentforthisapplianceisnogreaterthan1mA/KW.
Iftheelectricalsupplycabletothemachinebecomesdamaged,itmustbereplacedbyaspecificationor
higherandsuitablefortheMixer’smotorload.

Thegroundwireisfixedtothemachineandthisconnectionmustbekeptintact.

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hasbeenrestedtoOFF.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.

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3:
(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.
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4.
NOTE:InstallthebowlBEFOREinsertingagitators.

BOWL LIFT & BOWL GUARD
CAUTION:MakesurethespeedcontroldialisintheOFFposition.
Thebowlcradleandbowlguardareelectricallyinterlockedsothatthe
machinewillonlyoperatewiththebowlcradleattheraisedposition.Please
seefigure5.Inadditiontothis,thebowlguardmustbeinstalledintoplace.

NOTE:Onlyoncethebowlisraisedwiththebowlguardinstalled,the
machinecanoperate.Thusensuringtotalusersafetyatalltimes.Oncethe
guardhasbeenremovedorthebowllowered,themachinewillstop
immediately.TheMixercanonlyberestartedbyturningspeedcontroldial
toOFFpositionandturnONagain.

CleaningInstructions
CARE OF YOUR MIXER
CAUTION:ALWAYSDISCONNECTORUNPLUGTHEELECTRICALPOWERFROMTHEMIXERBEFORE
CLEANING.
Themixerisdesignedforsimplemaintenancecarriedoutbyoperators.Itmaybenecessaryfrom
timetotimetoapplyalittleVaselineandoiltotherodsonwhichthebowlcradleslides.Ifso,usealittle
foodqualitylubricant,ensuringthatthereisnoexcessoilthatcouldcontaminatethefoodmix.
Cleanthemixerthoroughlyafteruse.Afterisolatingthemachinefromtheelectricitysupply,the
bodyshouldbewipeddownwithadampcloth.Donotspraythemachinewithorimmerseitinwater.
Donotforgettocleantherearofthemachineanddonotallowtherearventstobecomeblockedasthis
mayresultinoverheating.
Payparticularattentiontothebowlpinsandanysurroundingareasofthecradletopreventthe
accumulationofmix,asthiscouldpreventcorrectlocationofthebowl.Forthesamereasonensurethat
thebeatershaftandeachofthesocketsonthetoolsarecleanedthoroughly.Thebowlandtoolsshould
bewashedinhotsoapywater,rinsedanddriedbeforebeingputintostorage.Donotwashtheagitators
inadishwasher,asthepolishedfinishwillbeadverselyaffectedbythedishwashingchemicals.
