ABOUT YOUR SCRAPER BEATER

The Breville scraper beater folds ingredients
and continuously scrapes down the sides and
bottom of the bowl for exceptionally thorough
mixing. It virtually eliminates the need to
scrape the bowl by hand with a spatula and
cuts mixing time up to 60%.

Under-mixed batters produce poorly baked
results, resulting in collapsing, unevenness of
crumb, holes, low rising, streaking and course
textures. The scraper beater will help to ensure
a thoroughly mixed batter for your favourite
cakes, biscuits, frosting and more.

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION

PAge heAder.....

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION

ASSEMBLING THE MIXER

Before using your Breville Scraper Mixer
Pro for the first time, remove any packaging
material and promotional labels. Ensure the
speed control dial is in the OFF position, the
mixer is switched off at the power outlet and
the power cord is unplugged.

Remove the mixing bowl, beater, whisk and
dough hook and wash in warm soapy water
with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
The bowl and the attachments may be
washed in the dishwasher.

NOTE

When first using your Breville Scraper
Mixer Pro, you may notice an odour
coming from the motor. This is normal
and will dissipate with use.

ATTACHING THE BOWL

1. Place the mixer base on a level, dry

surface such as a bench top. The mixer
motor head should be in the horizontal
(closed) position. Raise the mixer
motor head by pressing the
RELEASE button.

2. Lift the mixer motor head up until it tilts

back and locks into the open position.

3. Insert the mixing bowl into the bowl

locking recess of the mixer stand and
turn clockwise until the bowl locks
securely into place.

NOTE

To remove or insert the mixing bowl,
the mixer motor head must be raised
and locked into the open position.

12

PAge heAder.....

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION

ATTACHING THE SCRAPER BEATER,
FLAT BEATER, DOUGH HOOK OR
WHISK TO THE MIXER MOTOR HEAD

1. Ensure the mixer motor head is in the

raised/open position. Align the groove
in the top of the mixing attachment with
the locking pin on the spindle extending
down from the mixer motor head.

2. Push the attachment upwards and turn

clockwise until it locks securely onto the
locking pin on the spindle (see Fig. 1).

Fig. 1

3. Lower the mixer motor head by pressing

the RELEASE button and gently pushing
the mixer motor head down until it locks
into the horizontal (closed) position
(see Fig. 2).

NOTE

When ingredients are in the mixing
bowl, the scraper beater may make a
slight noise as it scrapes the sides and
bottom of the bowl. This is normal and
should not cause concern.

Do not turn the mixer on with the
scraper beater in place if the mixing
bowl is empty. This will cause the
scraper beater to make a loud noise as
it scrapes the bowl.

OPERATING THE MIXER

Planetary Mixing Action

By replicating a similar mixing action used
by commercial mixers in bakeries and
patisseries, the Scraper Mixer Pro head
rotates around the bowl whilst rotating
the beater in the opposite direction. This
ensures a superior and thorough mixing
result without the need for a rotating bowl.

Fig. 2

4. The splash guard can now be assembled

if required. Slide the main ring into
position on top of bowl, then assemble
the pour spout.

1. Ensure the speed control dial is set to

the OFF position, plug the cord into
a 220-240V power outlet and switch
the power ON at the power outlet. The
illuminated LED speed indicator band
will flash and the count up/down timer
will display 0:00. The mixer is now
ready to be used.

13

PAge heAder.....

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION

NOTE

If the mixer has not been used for
3 minutes it will automatically change
from STANDBY mode to a power
saving OFF mode and the illuminated
LED will switch off. To exit OFF mode
and begin mixing, turn the dial to the
selected speed or press one of the
count up/down timer buttons.

2. Add ingredients to the mixing bowl as

indicated in the recipe.

Always begin mixing by selecting a low
speed setting on the speed control dial.
Starting on a low speed will prevent
ingredients splattering. Increase the
speed as suited to the mixing task. The
speed setting can be adjusted during
operation by moving the dial clockwise
for the main mixing settings. Use the
mixing guide in this booklet as
a reference.

THE COUNT-UP TIMER

The count-up timer is especially useful
to gauge mixing time. You can monitor
the time it takes to thoroughly mix the
ingredients, so that the next time you mix
the same ingredients you can set the count­down timer for the specific time.

The count-up timer will automatically
begin counting up as soon as the dial is
rotated from OFF to one of the speeds.
When the dial is turned to PAUSE the total
time will be displayed on the LCD and will
flash. When the dial is turned to OFF, the
LCD display will reset back to 0:00.

If necessary, stop the mixer during
operation and scrape any food mixture
down the sides of the mixing bowl with
a spatula.

NOTE

Always turn the mixer off if you
need to scrape the bowl during use,
and then switch back on and
continue mixing.

PAge heAder.....

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION

THE COUNT-DOWN TIMER

The count-down timer is especially useful
for any recipe that specifies the length
of time ingredients should be mixed.
For example, if a recipe reads, “beat for 3
minutes,” you can set the count-down timer
to 3 minutes by pressing the up/down
arrows. After 3 minutes of mixing, an alarm
will sound and the motor will automatically
turn off. The count-down timer will flash
OFF. The control dial must to be rotated to
the OFF position to reset the timer and to
continue mixing.

To set the count down timer, press the up or
down arrows until the desired mixing time is
displayed on the LCD screen.

NOTE

Press and hold the arrows down to
scroll through the timer setting
more quickly.

Rotate the dial clockwise to select the
desired speed and to begin mixing. When
the timer has finished counting down,
0:00 will flash on the LCD screen and a
beep will sound to notify you that the time
has expired. The mixer will automatically
turn the motor off. The control dial must
be rotated to the OFF position to reset the
timer and to continue mixing.

NOTE

The maximum time displayed on the
timer is 60 minutes. The mixer will
automatically switch OFF at
60 minutes. The control dial needs to
be rotated to the OFF position to reset
the timer and to continue mixing.

PAUSE MODE

While mixing, at any stage, you can rotate
the control dial to the PAUSE setting. This
will turn the motor off and pause the timer.
This enables you to assess the mixing
progress or add additional ingredients
without affecting the timer.

For example, if you are mixing using the
count-up timer mode, you can rotate the
control dial from one of the mixing speeds
to PAUSE. The mixer motor will stop and the
timer will pause. Once ready, you can rotate
the dial back to one of the mixing speeds,
the timer will continue to count-up from
the exact time it was paused. Alternatively,
if you have turned the mixer to PAUSE you
can then reset the timer to 0:00 by rotating
the dial to OFF position.

If using the PAUSE function in count­down timer mode, you can suspend the
timer at any stage during the count-down
process by rotating the control dial to the
PAUSE setting. To continue mixing in the
count-down timer mode, simply rotate the
dial back into one of the mixing speeds or
alternatively to the OFF position to reset the
timer to 0:00.

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION

MOTOR HEAD SAFETY CUT-OFF

The mixer is equipped with a motor head
safety cut-off. If the mixer head is lifted up at
any time while the mixer motor is switched
on, the safety cut-off will automatically
switch the motor off and set the mixer into
standby mode.

To restart the motor, lower the mixer head
into the secured position, turn the speed
control dial away and back to previous
speed setting to resume mixing and time
recording if mixer head is lower down within
5 minutes.

If the mixer head is not lower down for 5
minutes or more, to restart the motor, turn
the dial to off first, then dial to required
speed setting. Time recording will start
from 0.

To turn the mixer off, turn the dial to the
OFF position and unplug the appliance.

ELECTRONIC PROTECTION
CUT-OFF - CURRENT OVERLOAD

The mixer is equipped with an electric
protection cut-off and will automatically
stop operating if the motor is stalled or
overloaded. This is normally a result of
excessive ingredients being processed at
one time. Should the mixer go into this
mode, the LED indicator band will flash and
the error message “E1” will flash on the LCD
screen and the buzzer will beep 3 times.

If this error occurs, turn the speed control
dial to the OFF position, switch the
appliance off at the power outlet and unplug
the cord. Remove some of the ingredients in
the mixing bowl and then restart the mixer.

THERMO CUT-OFF -
TEMPERATURE OVERLOAD

The mixer is equipped with a self-resetting
safety device which safeguards against
overheating the motor with excessive
loads. If overheating occurs, the mixer will
automatically activate the overheating
protection device and the motor will switch
itself off. Should the mixer go into this
mode, the LED indicator band will flash and
the error message “E2” will flash on the LCD
screen and the buzzer will beep 3 times.
