3 Use
3.1 Using the mixer
(Fig. A, B and C)
• Place the mixer on a flat, stable and dry
surface.
• Press the release button (4).
• Keep the button pressed and raise the
head (1), guiding it with your hand.
• Insert the bowl (9) in its base (8). Grasp
the bowl by its handle and turn the bowl
(9) clockwise until it locks into place.
• Select the accessory required based on
the type of mixing to be performed.
Caution
Do not operate the mixer with the
accessory without having locked
the bowl in position.
• Insert the accessory into the lower
attachment (5) and push it upwards.
Keep pressing the accessory upwards
and turn it anticlockwise until the pin locks
fully into place (5).
Ensure that the accessory is
correctly locked into place in the
attachment.
• Add the ingredients to the bowl.
• Keep the button (4) pressed and lower
the head (1), guiding it with your hand.
• Position the pouring shield* (10) on the
bowl, if required, with the opening facing
outwards.

EN-6
Use
Using the pouring shield* (10)
• Fit the pouring shield onto the
upper rim of the stainless steel
bowl* after having inserted
the bowl into its base, inserted
the accessory into the lower
attachment and after having
lowered the head into the
operating position.
• Fit the pouring shield with the
opening facing outwards so
that ingredients can be added
to the bowl without having to
stop the mixer.
Caution
Remove the pouring shield to
raise or lower the head with the
accessory fixed to the lower
attachment.
• Make sure that the speed selector (3) is
in the "0" (OFF) position.
• Insert the plug into the power socket.
• Select the required speed (3) to start
the appliance and begin mixing the
ingredients. See “Recommended
speeds”.
Caution
• For increased safety, each
time power is disconnected
to the motor, for example by
raising the head or unplugging
the appliance from the socket,
the speed selector first has to
be placed in the zero position
before the mixer is restarted.
• You should anyway always
move the speed selector to
the 0 (OFF) position before
pressing the button to move the
motor head.
Caution
• Do not touch the accessories
while the appliance is in
operation.
• Do not operate the mixer with
the accessory inserted and the
bowl empty.
It is possible for the motor head
to move slightly when mixing
or kneading dense mixtures or
large quantities. This should be
considered normal and will not
compromise the operation or long
lifetime or the appliance.
* Standard only on certain models. Also available as an
optional accessory.

EN-7
EN
Use
3.2 When finished
(Fig. B and D)
• Place the speed selector (3) in the "0"
(OFF) position and remove the plug from
the power socket.
• Remove the pouring shield (10) from the
bowl, if present.
• Press the release button (4) to raise the
head (1).
• Push the accessory slightly upwards and
turn it clockwise to release it from the pin.
Remove the accessory from the lower

3.3 Functions
Safety lock system
The appliance has a safety system which
automatically shuts off the appliance when
the motor head is raised.
Smooth Start System
When the appliance is started, the speed
is gradually increased until the set speed
is reached. This prevents damage to the
appliance and accessories and ensures
that ingredients are not ejected from the
bowl.
Planetary movement
The mixer accessories move with
a planetary mixing action.
The movement is generated by the
accessory rotating around its axis
in the opposite direction to the
rotary movement of the mixer.
This maximises coverage of the
entire bowl so that all ingredients
are thoroughly blended
with excellent results for all
preparations.
Hot appliance
Following prolonged use,
the upper part of the motor
head may heat up. This is not,
however, normally indicative of a
malfunction.

EN-8
Use
3.4 General advice
• Never exceed the maximum speed and
capacity indicated in the table in order to
prevent damage to the appliance.
• Turn on the appliance at a low speed
until all the ingredients are mixed, then
increase the speed on the basis of the
required operation.
• When adding ingredients, always pour
them onto the edge of the bowl and not
directly onto the moving accessory.
• Reduce the speed when you add dry or
liquid ingredients to stop them splattering.
Increase the speed again when they
have been mixed.
• Use the pouring shield* on the bowl
for liquid mixtures or when adding dry
ingredients to avoid getting objects in the
vicinity of the stand mixer dirty or being hit
by splattered liquids or powder.
• Keep the bowl and accessories clean,
and attach them to the appliance only
when they are perfectly dry.
• Clean the head and body of the mixer
carefully using a damp cloth if they are
dirty.
Tips for whisking egg whites
• For the best results, use egg whites at
room temperature.
• Before whisking the egg whites, ensure
that the accessory and bowl are not
damp or greasy and that they have no
trace of yolk on them.
• To prevent splattering, gradually increase
the speed up to the recommended
speed, then whisk until you achieve the
required stiffness.
• Thestandmixerallowsveryrapidwhisking
of egg whites. Pay close attention to the
process to avoid over-whisking the egg
whites, which would result in separation.
Tips for whipping cream
• For the best results, use cold whipping or
double cream straight out of the fridge.
• To prevent splattering, gradually increase
the speed up to the recommended speed,
then whip until you achieve the required
consistency.
• When whisking a quantity equivalent to
one litre of liquid cream, start at speed of
7-8 for the first minute, or at least until it
starts to thicken. Then increase the speed
to 10 for the remaining time.
Recommendations for recipes using eggs
• For the best results, use eggs at room
temperature.
• When working with stiff pasta doughs,
do not exceed the quantity of 3 medium
eggs, adding small quantities of water if
necessary.
* Standard only on certain models. Also available as an
optional accessory.

EN-9
EN
Use
Recommendations for kneading
• Make sure that the proportion of liquids
in doughs is sufficient (at least 50-60% of
the quantity of flour, by weight). Doughs
which are too dry and therefore stiff can
overload the motor.
• If the appliance is struggling, switch it off,
divide the dough into two pieces and
knead them separately.
Bread/pizza dough and egg pasta
dough
• Start the appliance at speed 1 until the
ingredients have been incorporated, then
increase to speed 2.
• In order to allow the ingredients to best
amalgamate, we recommend adding the
liquid ingredients to the bowl at the start.
• Egg pasta, bread, pizza: only knead
using the dough hook. Use the flat beater
only to start the kneading procedure. DO
NOT use the flex edge beater*.
Prepared cake batters
• For up to 1 kg of batter: start the appliance
at a low speed until the ingredients start to
come together, then gradually increase
the speed up to 7 for the remaining time.
• For up to 2 kg of batter: start the appliance
at speed 1 until the ingredients start to
come together, then gradually increase
the speed up to 3-4 for the remaining
time.
Pastry
• Cold ingredients should always be used
when making pastry, particularly short
pastes, unless the recipe states otherwise.
• When preparing cakes, initially beat
butter at room temperature with sugar,
then add the eggs and finally the flour.
* Standard only on certain models. Also available as an
optional accessory.
