The Bosch Universal Plus® Mixer utilizes a powerful 800 watt motor,
ideal for mixing large batches of dough.

You can stop your mixer to add ingredients, or to let the dough you
are making rise. When restarting your mixer, while mixing dough, it

is important to “Pulse” the motor rst.

1. Turn the knob to the momentary setting (M)
and release. Repeating several times.

2. Begin with Speed 1, and slowly work your
way up to the desired speed, allowing the
mixer to run for 30 to 40 seconds at each
speed.

Doing this allows the kneading arm to break free of the dough and
operate properly. It also ensures the motor does not ‘out pace’
the transmission when kneading a large amount of dough from a
stopped position.

Cookie Paddles are great for butter

cream and cream cheese frosting as

well as stiffer doughs like cookie

dough.

Note: Cookie Paddles should only

be used with the Metal Whip Drive.

Mixing Tips

Use the Right Tool

Wire Whips (included) are ideal for beating egg

whites, whip cream, and light batters.

Batter Whisks are perfect for cake and
pancake batters and other batters of the same
consistency.

Dough Hook (included) is essential for great
bread dough. It is also good for many other
types of extremely heavy doughs.

When using your mixer it is essential you use the proper tool for
each recipe.

The Bosch Universal Plus® blender
attachment is ideal for smoothies, drink
mixes, and other fabulous and healthy
treats. The Universal Plus® Mixer and
blender contain a safety feature that will
not allow the mixer to turn on unless
the blender lid is locked into place.

Blender Tips

To lock the blender lid in place simply
put the lid on the blender jar and push
the tab on the lid into the slot on the
blender handle. Lock by turning the lid
counterclockwise, unlock by turning the
lid clockwise.

LOCK

1. Rinse the blender to remove all left over food particles.

2. Fill the blender 1/3 to 1/2 full of hot water and
place back on the mixer, and add a few drops
of dish soap.

3. Replace the blender lid and turn on the mixer

for 30 seconds.

4. Remove the blender from the mixer, rinse, and dry.

Be sure the base of the blender is completely dry
before placing onto the blender drive
socket.

CAUTION: Avoid getting any liquid in
the blender drive socket to protect the
motor.

Food Processor Tips

The food processor will not operate
unless it is fully assembled before
attaching to the mixer.

1. Insert either the chopping blade or
a disk.

2. Put the lid in place and lock the tab
into the handle.

This will shift the safety block on the
bottom of the food processor and
allow it to attach to the mixer.

Slip this “tadpole” over the mixing bowl drive shaft to block dough
from getting into the center column. Use only with the dough hook.

L’EQUIP Blade Wrench

See your Bosch Retailer to purchase these accessories

This tool works like a wrench. It helps to provide

the leverage needed to loosen your blender blade

assembly, and return it to the proper tension.

Tab

The Bosch Universal Plus® Mixer attachments are top rack dish­washer safe. However, dishwasher use is not recommended for
cleaning Bosch stainless steel parts (dough hook, stainless steel
whip drive, and bowl drive shaft). High heat and chemicals found in
soaps can cause them to corrode.

In normal use, the mixer may build up condensation in the center column
of your bowl. This condensation, or other moisture, may collect in the
drive socket. Over time moisture may cause the socket to corrode.

Mixer Washing Tips

To protect the drive socket, periodically
rub vegetable oil on it with a cotton
swab.

Note: A cotton swab is also
ideal for removing any excess
moisture from the drive socket.

Note: Remove the drive shaft from the bowl before washing.

Always allow the bowl to dry thoroughly in an upright position.
The drive shaft should be dried separately. Make sure both are
completely dry before reassembling and placing them back on the
drive socket.
CAUTION: Avoid getting
any liquid in the drive
socket to protect the
motor.

To attach the blender to
the blender drive socket
after the lid is locked in
place, line up the arrow
on the blender handle
with the raised dot on
the machine. Turn the
blender counterclockwise
with a slight downward
pressure until the jar is

rmly seated.
