4. Press the turbo button Yto over-ride the speed switch, for a burst of high

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.
• Generally, large quantities, thick mixes, and a high ratio of solids to liquids
need longer timings and slower speeds.

5
• Smaller quantities, thinner mixes, and more liquids than solids need shorter
timings and higher speeds.
• Speed and timing aren’t critical. If you’re unsure, use short bursts.
HINTS AND TIPS
• Use the wire whisks for beating/aerating light dough and batter.
• Use the balloon whisk for beating/aerating egg whites and cream.
• To avoid splashing, don’t start the mixer till the whisks are immersed in the
food/liquid to be mixed.
• Use the hooks for heavier dough (e.g. bread, fruit-cake).
• Don’t use the hooks for kneading dough, just for mixing the ingredients.
Kneading will overload the motor.
• Kneading dough by hand is kinder, and gives better results.
• If you need to set the mixer down, switch off (O), and shake any mixture off the
whisks/hooks before removing them from the mixing bowl.
• You may stand the mixer on its end.
• Don’t run the mixer for more than 4 minutes at a time. After 4 minutes, let it
rest for 5 minutes.
• If the motor starts to labour, add more liquid to the mix, if possible, or switch
off (O) and carry on by hand.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Switch off (O) 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.
