4
PARTS
1. Speed control/eject
2. Vents
3. Pips
4. Whisks
FITTING/REMOVING THE WHISKS
1. Switch off (0) and unplug the mixer before fitting or removing the whisks.
2. Turn each whisk to align the pips on the shaft with the grooves in the drive
head, then push it into the drive head till it clicks into place (fig. A).
3. The whisks may be inserted into either drive head. When fitting the second
one, you may find that the first one is in the way. Remove the second one, turn
it through 180º and try again.
• To eject the whisks, switch off (0) and unplug the mixer, then shake any excess
mixture into the mixing bowl.
• Hold both whisks, to prevent them jumping out, and press the speed control
into the handle (fig. B).
USING THE MIXER
1. Unwind the cable and plug it into a power socket.
2. Move the speed control to the desired speed. There are 6 speeds available,
from 1(low) to 6(high).
3. To switch off, move the speed control to 0.
• To avoid splashing/splattering, don’t start the mixer till the whisks are inside
the mixing bowl and immersed in the food/liquid to be mixed.
• Use the whisks for beating/aerating light dough, batter, egg whites and cream.
• Don’t use the mixer for kneading dough, it’ll overload the motor.
• If the motor starts to labour, add more liquid to the mix, if possible, or switch
off and carry on by hand.
• If you need to set the mixer down, switch off (0), and shake any mixture off the
whisks.
• Don’t run the mixer continuously for more than 3 minutes, to avoid
overheating. After 3 minutes, let it cool for 5 minutes before reusing.
TIMINGS AND SPEEDS
• If you’re using a recipe book, follow the recipe.
• If you’ve no recipe, you’ll need to experiment to find the best settings.
• Timing and speed will vary with the amount, thickness, and composition of the
mix.

5
• Generally, large quantities, thick mixes, and a high ratio of solids to liquids
require longer timings and slower speeds.
• Smaller quantities, thinner mixes, and more liquids than solids require shorter
timings and higher speeds.
• Speed and timing aren’t critical. If you’re unsure, use bursts. Switch on, switch
off, look/feel/taste, till it feels right.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Switch off (0) and unplug before cleaning.
2. Wipe outer surfaces a damp cloth. If necessary, use a little washing-up liquid.
3. Wash the whisks in hot soapy water, rinse, and dry.
• Don’t put the mixer in water or any other liquid.
• Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
