HINTS AND TIPS
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.
Generally, large quantities, thick mixes, and a high ratio of solids to liquids suggest
longer timings and slower speeds.
Smaller quantities, thinner mixes, and more liquids than solids suggest shorter timings
and higher speeds.
Speed and timing aren’t critical. If you’re unsure, use bursts.
Switch on, switch off, look/feel/taste, until it feels right.
Refrigerated ingredients, ie. butter and eggs should be at room temperature before
mixing begins. Set these ingredients out ahead of time.
To eliminate the possibility of shells or rotten eggs in your recipe, break the eggs into a
separate container first, check them and then add them to the mixture.
Do not over-beat. Be careful that you only mix/ blend mixtures until recommended in
your recipe. Fold into dry ingredients only until they are “just” combined. Always use a
low speed.
Always start mixing at slow speeds. Gradually increase to the recommended speed as
stated in the recipe.
If you want to clean the sides and base of the mixing bowl/ container with a hand-held
utensil, first switch the machine to “0” / “OFF”.
To avoid unnecessary splashing, immerse the beaters into the mixture before
switching the appliance ON.
Unplug the appliance when not in use, before fitting or removing the beaters and
before cleaning it.
Avoid coming into contact with moving parts. Keep hands, hair, clothes, as well as
spatulas and other utensils away during operation to prevent injury and/or damage to
the appliance.
The speed can be adjusted at any time. Starting from “0” / “OFF” and then adjusting
the speed to the food type being mixed.

Hints for beating egg whites
Be sure that the bowl and beaters are clean.
Be sure that there is egg yolk in the egg white.
Egg whites should be at room temperature for maximum volume.
Use high setting.
Beating time will vary according to the freshness of the eggs.
Hints for whipping cream
Use heavy cream.
Chill cream before whipping.
Use a deep bowl.
For best results, chill both beaters and bowl.
Start beating at a low speed to prevent spatter, increase to high as cream thickens.
Beating time will vary according to the fat content, age and temperature of the cream.
PROCESSING GUIDE
The following guide is to be used as a reference only. It is purely guide. Climatic conditions,
personal preference, seasonal temperature changes, temperature of ingredients and their
texture variation from area to area –will all play a part in the required mixing time and the
results achieved. It is best to try recipes/ingredients and adjust as necessary.
