2 To switch off, move the speed control to 0.
fitting the whisks
3 Switch off (0) and unplug the mixer before fitting or
removing the whisks.
4 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.
5 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.
removing the whisks
6 To eject the whisks, switch off (0) and unplug the mixer,
then shake any excess mixture into the mixing bowl.
7 Hold both whisks, to prevent them jumping out, and press
the speed control into the handle.
using the mixer
8 Unwind the cable and plug it into a power socket.
9 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.
10 Use the whisks for beating/aerating light dough, batter,
egg whites and cream.
12 Don’t use the mixer for kneading dough. Kneading will
overload the motor.
13 If the motor starts to labour, add more liquid to the mix, if
possible, or switch off and carry on by hand.
14 If you need to set the mixer down, switch off (0), and shake
any mixture off the whisks.

to avoid overheating. After 3 minutes, let it cool for 5
minutes before reusing.
16 Don’t try to sit the mixer on it’s end – it’ll fall over.
timings and speeds
17 If you’re using a recipe book, follow the recipe.
18 If you’ve no recipe, you’ll need to experiment to find the
best settings.
19 Timing and speed will vary with the amount, thickness,
and composition of the mix.
20 Generally, large quantities, thick mixes, and a high ratio of
solids to liquids suggest longer timings and slower speeds.
21 Smaller quantities, thinner mixes, and more liquids than
solids suggest shorter timings and higher speeds.
22 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
Switch off (0) and unplug before cleaning.
Wipe outer surfaces a damp cloth. If necessary, use a little
washing-up liquid.
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.
connection
This product doesn’t need an earth. Use a 13A
BS1362 fuse in a 13A BS1363 plug. Fit the blue
wire to N, and the brown wire to L. Fit the cord
grip. If in doubt, call an electrician. Don’t use
a non-rewireable plug unless the fuse cover is
fitted. If you remove the plug, dispose of it.
