OPERATING
You can use the Mixer to mix, knead and whisk food. The Mixer and Mixing Bowl are
each driven separately by their own motors, and the speeds of the Mixer and Mixing
Bowl can be individually adjusted. The Mixer has a single ON/ Speed Range Selector
Switch while the Mixing Bowl has an independent On/Speed Selector Switch. The
Mixer can be easily removed from the processor stand in a moment and used as a
standard Hand Mixer (figure 2). When used in this way, move the hand mixer in a
smooth circular motion around the inside of the Bowl containing the ingredients.
PREPARING FOR USE
 Fitting the Mixer to/ or removing from the stand (figure 2).
Before fitting or removing the Mixer switch off the appliance and remove the plug from
the electrical outlet.
 To fit, push the mixer on to the stand (the two latches on the mixer stand engage in the
mixer) and then press down to lock.
To remove, press the Lock Release (figure 2) and pull the Mixer upwards.

USING YOUR HAND/STAND MIXER

INSERTING/REMOVING BEATERS DOUGH HOOKS
Before releasing the Beaters or Dough Hooks, switch off the Mixer and remove the
plug from the electrical outlet.
Push the Beaters or Dough Hooks into the slots on the underside of the mixers, until they click
into place. The two Dough Hooks have different plug shapes and must be pushed into
the correct slots. Inserting the wrong way would lead the dough to “move” upwards. One
of the Dough Hooks has an additional small ring near the collar on the shaft. This
Dough Hook will only fit in the slot for which it is intended.
This is identified by a symbol,
To remove the accessories, hold firmly with one hand, while pressing the Beater
Ejector Button (figure 3).
CONNECTION
Before using your Hand Mixer for the first time, wash the Beaters in hot/ soapy water,
or the dishwasher. Rinse and dry.
Be sure the speed controls are in the "0" position and the unit is unplugged from an
electrical outlet. Plug cord into an electrical outlet. Insert Beaters as indicated above.

RAISING/ LOWERING THE MIXER
Ensure the Mixer is switched off before raising/ lowering. Press the Raise/ Lower
Button (figure 4) and lift the Mixer up or lower it until it clicks in place. This will facilitate
removal of Beaters as well the Bowl.
PLACING/ REMOVING THE MIXING BOWL
Place the Mixing Bowl on the guide on the Stand (figure 5) and latch in place by gently
turning it clockwise. To remove it, turn it counterclockwise to unlatch. It may be
necessary to hold the base to prevent it from rotating. The off-center position of the
Mixer makes it easy to add ingredients while the Mixer is in operation.

MIXING WITH THE STAND MIXER
When the Mixer is attached to the Stand, the Mixing Bowl can be switched on in up to
two different speeds. The Mixer must not be run continuously for more than 10
minutes at a time. After this time, allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes before
re-using.
Maximum processing quantities:
Processing in the Mixing Bowl must not exceed 1.5 kg solid or 1.75 liquid foodstuffs.
The On/ Mixer Speed Range Selector Switch (figure 6, item 2) is used to:
 Switch the Mixer on,
 Control the Mixer Speed (5 speed settings) in the pre-selected speed range.
As long as the Burst of Power Button (figure 6, item 4) is pressed and held when
the appliance is in operation, the mixer operates at its maximum speed.
The additional 5 speeds for the Stand Mixer are obtained by selecting the Mixing Bowl

The Mixing Bowl has two speed settings. The Mixing Bowl On/Speed Selector Switch
(figure 7) is used to switch the Mixing Bowl on and select it's speed as follow:
0/Off = off
1 = low speed
2 = high speed
MIXING WITH THE HAND MIXER
Slowly guide Mixer around sides and through center of bowl, going in the same
direction. Be careful not to over beat the mixture. Over beating the mixture tends to
make some mixtures tough.
Whenever scraping of the bowl is required, stop the Mixer and scrape sides and
bottom of bowl with the rubber spatula as needed. Turn speed control to "0" and rest
Mixer on its heel rest while adding ingredients. Be sure to position Beaters over mixing
bowl so any dripping will fall back into mixing bowl.
Ingredients should be added to the mixing bowl as they are specified in the recipe.
When combining wet and dry ingredients, you may wish to moisten ingredients on low
speed, and then turn to the desired speed as specified in the mixing guide.
