Introduction
We are confident that you will be delighted with your PARAMOUNT MIXER, and it will become a most
valued appliance in your commercial kitchen.
A new mixer can seem very complex and confusing at first glance. To ensure you receive the utmost
benefit from your new Paramount Mixer, there are two important things you can do:-
Firstly
Please read the instruction book carefully and follow the directions given. The time taken will be well
spent.
Secondly
If you are unsure of any aspect of the installation, instructions or performance of your appliance, contact
your Paramount dealer promptly. In many cases a phone call could answer your question.
The Paramount BM80 is a dependable mixer for kneading and mixing all kinds of dough. The mixer has 4
speed selections and an electronic timer. The mixer comes with various style attachments which can be
used to obtain the best results. These are made of alloy aluminum or of a food hygiene standard material.
This model Mixer is equipped with a powerful 3HP, 2 speed motor and a 2 speed gear drive design which is
driven through ‘Vee’ drive belts. The constant mesh helical gears are made of hardened alloy steel and are
continually oil lubricated. The oil level can be monitored through an easy view sight glass.
A stainless steel safety guard is optional and is fitted with a limit switch to turn ‘Off’ power when the guard
is in the ‘Open’ position.
With proper operation and maintenance this mixer will give you years of service, and obtain the best
results.

Speed 2 (Medium-Low) - For mixing cake batters, mashing potatoes and for developing dough.
Speed 3 (Medium-High) - For mixing maximum amount of air into light batches. The wire whip is
used for whipping cream, beating egg whites, mixing light icings,
meringues etc.
Speed 4 (High) - For accelerated mixing maximum amount of air into light batches similar
to ‘Speed 3’.
Bowl
The stainless steel bowl is a sanitary open rim design to meet todays exacting requirements.
The regular bowl for this mixer has a capacity of 80 quarts (76 litres).

Operation
8
Power Bowl Lift (Optional)
The bowl, on mixers with power bowl lift, can be raised and lowered through contact buttons located on
the control panel. If the ‘Up’ button is pressed, the bowl will raise to the top. If the ‘Down’ button is
pressed, the bowl will lower to the bottom. Auto lift is an option.
Mixers without power bowl lift have a hand wheel on the right hand side of the mixer to raise and lower
the bowl.
Agitators
When placing an agitator on the agitator shaft, lower the bowl, push the agitator up onto the shaft and
turn the agitator until the drive pin on the shaft reaches L-shaped slot in the agitator shank.
Dough Arm
It is frequently used for heavy bread dough, and preferable used at low
speed.
The moisture content of heavy dough is a critical factor when selecting proper
mixing speed. Never use ‘Speed 2’ when mixing heavy dough.
Flat Beater
It is commonly used for thin batters, cake and mashing potatoes, like stuffing
and preferable to be used at middle speeds.
Wire Whip
It is best for whipping cream and beating eggs and preferable to be used at
high speed.
Light
This mixer is fitted with a pilot lamp which illuminates the inner bowl area.
Attachment Hub
The attachment hub is designed to accommodate attachments such as a meat chopper, food chopper and
a food slicer / shredder. The machine should not be used for mixing whilst the hub attachments are
installed. Do not use the attachment hub whilst mixing.

Operation
9
* 1st speed only.
** 1st speed & 2nd speed only.
†If high gluten flour is used, reduce above dough batch size by 10 %.
Attachments
-
Optional
To install an attachment, loosen the thumb screw on the attachment hub and remove the plug. Insert the
attachment into the attachment hub making certain that the square shank of the attachment is in the
square driver of the mixer. Secure the attachment by tightening the thumb screw.
Move the gear shift lever to the desired speed and start the mixer to operate the attachment.
The meat and food chopper attachment should be operated in second or third speed. If material in the
cylinder stalls the mixer, stop the mixer at once. DO NOT attempt to restart the mixer in a lower speed -
remove the adjusting ring, knife, plate, and worm and clear the obstruction.
Mixing Heavy Dough
The moisture content of heavy dough is a critical factor when selecting proper mixing speed. Do NOT use
2nd speed when mixing heavy dough with an Absorption Ratio (AR) of 60% or less. To determine the
Absorption Ratio (AR) of a product, the water weight divide by the flour weight.
Example: Calculate the Absorption Ratio of a mixture containing 2 kg of water and 4 kg of flour.
AR = 2 ¸ 4 = 0.50 = 50 %.
