bathroom, near a source of water, or outdoors.
3 Keep fingers, hair, clothing and kitchen utensils clear of the
whisks and hooks.
4 Switch off (0) before fitting or removing the whisks or

12 Slide the turbo button Ytowards the rear of the mixer to
over-ride the speed switch, for a burst of high speed (5).
13 This only works when the motor is already running (1 to 4).
timings and speeds
14 If you’re using a recipe book, follow the recipe.
15 If you’ve no recipe, you’ll need to experiment to find the
best settings.
16 Timing and speed will vary with the amount, thickness,
and composition of the mix.
17 Generally, large quantities, thick mixes, and a high ratio of
solids to liquids suggest longer timings and slower speeds.
18 Smaller quantities, thinner mixes, and more liquids than
solids suggest shorter timings and higher speeds.

19 Speed and timing aren’t critical. If you’re unsure, use bursts.
Switch on, switch off, look/feel/taste, till it feels right.
using the mixer
20 Use the whisks for beating/aerating light dough, batter,
egg whites and cream.
21 To avoid splashing, don’t start the mixer till the whisks are
immersed in the food/liquid to be mixed.
22 Use the hooks for heavier dough (e.g. bread, fruit-cake).
23 Don’t use the hooks for kneading dough, just for mixing
the ingredients. Kneading will overload the motor.
22 Kneading dough by hand is kinder, and gives better results.
23 If you need to set the mixer down, switch off (0), and shake
any mixture off the whisks/hooks before removing them
from the mixing bowl.
24 You may sit the mixer on its end, it’s quite stable.
25 Don’t run the mixer for more than 10 minutes at a time.
After 10 minutes, let it rest for 10 minutes.
26 If the motor starts to labour, add more liquid to the mix, if
possible, or switch off (0) and carry on by hand.
care and maintenance
1 Switch off (0) and unplug the mixer before cleaning.
2 Wipe outer surfaces with a damp cloth.
3 Wash the whisks and hooks in hot soapy water, or in the
cutlery basket of your dishwasher.
4 Don’t let liquid get into the vents.
5 Don’t put the mixer in water or any other liquid.
6 Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.

three simple recipes to get you started
basic biscuits (using the whisks)
100g (4oz) butter 150g (6oz) caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence 1 medium egg
100g (4oz) plain flour 100g (4oz) self raising flour
Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla essence at medium speed
for 1-2 minutes till light, pale and fluffy. Reduce speed, add
the egg, then gradually increase speed till everything has
combined.
Sift the flours together then work them into the mixture.
Form into balls, put them on a greased baking tray, flatten
them slightly, then bake in a pre-heated oven at 180°C for
12-15 minutes.
Cool on the tray for a few minutes, then move to a wire rack.
pizza dough (makes 2 large pizzas, using the hooks)
250ml (9floz) water 525g (1lb) strong white flour
1½ tbsp olive oil 1½ tsp dried yeast
1½ tsp sugar 1½ tsp salt
Sift the flour into a bowl and add the yeast, sugar and salt.
Add the water and oil and mix at mid to high speed till the
dough is fully incorporated and smooth in texture.
Cover the bowl with a damp tea towel or cling film and let it
rest in a warm place for about half an hour.
Remove the dough and knead by hand for a few minutes.
Cut the dough in half, roll out into circles on a floured surface
and put them on a non-stick baking sheet or a pizza baking
tray. Spread the pizza bases with a tomato based sauce and
top with your favourite toppings (ham, cheese, sweetcorn,
peppers, mushrooms, onions, pepperoni etc.)
