relatively short power supply cord as a
safety precaution to prevent personal
injury or property damage resulting from
pulling, tripping or becoming entangled
with a longer cord. Do not allow children
to use or be near this appliance without
close adult supervision. Longer detachable
power supply cords or extension cords are
not recommended but may be used if care
is exercised. If an extension cord is used, (1)
the marked electrical rating of the cord set
or extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2)
the cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.

BHM500XL_IB_A10.indd 8 17/09/10 11:07 AM

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE HANDY MIX DIGITAL™

BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove and safely discard any packaging
material and promotional stickers before
using the appliance for the fist time. Wash
the whisk, beaters and dough hooks in warm
soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry
thoroughly. The whisk, beaters and dough
hooks are also dishwasher safe. Wipe the
motor body with a damp cloth then dry
thoroughly.

NOTE

When first using your hand mixer,
you may notice an odor coming from
the motor. This is normal and will
dissipate with time.

USING THE HAND MIXER

NOTE

The whisk shaft has a collar and should
be inserted into the larger attachment
socket. Do not insert the wire whisk by
holding the wire end as this may cause
damage to the wires. Do not use the
whisk with any other attachment.

Step 3

Select a mixing bowl large enough to
accommodate the attachments, as a
bowl that is too small will damage the
attachments. Add ingredients to the mixing
bowl as directed in the recipe.

Step 4

Insert the power plug into a 110/120V power
outlet.

Step 1

Ensure the ‘ON/OFF’ switch is in the ‘OFF’
position and the power cord is unplugged
from the power outlet.

Step 2

Align the desired attachment shaft (whisk,
beaters, dough hooks) with the attachment
sockets on the underside of the hand mixer.
Push firmly, turning slightly if required, until
they click into place.

The attachment shaft with collar should
be inserted into the larger hole, while the
attachment shaft without collar should be
inserted into the smaller hole.

COLLAR LARGER HOLE

Step 5

Place the attachment (whisk, beaters, dough
hooks) into the ingredients inside the
mixing bowl. To commence mixing, move
the ‘ON/OFF’ switch to the ‘ON’ position.
Push the ‘Increase Speed’

button until
you have reached the required speed. If you
wish to make the speed slower at any time,
push the ‘Decrease Speed’

button.

The LCD screen will display the selected
speed as well as the mixing time that has
elapsed.

NOTE

Always begin mixing on a lower
speed setting to prevent splattering,
increasing to the desired speed for the
mixing task.

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE HANDY MIX DIGITAL™

Step 6

Move the hand mixer in a slight
circular action during mixing to allow
the attachments to efficiently mix
the ingredients. Stop the hand mixer
intermittently and use a plastic spatula to
scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl,
then continue mixing.

NOTE

To stop mixing at any time, move the
‘ON/OFF’ switch to the ‘OFF’ position
or decrease the speed to ‘0’.

NOTE

Always turn the hand mixer ‘OFF’ if you
need to scrape down the bowl during use.

NOTE

Avoid allowing the attachments to hit
against the side of the mixing bowl
while the hand mixer is operating
as this will result in damage to the
attachments.

CAUTION

Ensure the hand mixer is switched off
and unplugged from the power outlet
before inserting the attachments.

Step 7

When mixing is complete, move the ‘ON/OFF’
switch to the ‘OFF’ position then unplug the
power plug from the power outlet.

Step 8

Remove the attachments by pressing
the EJECT button while grasping the
attachment shafts. The attachments will be
released automatically. DO NOT try to pull
the attachments out of the sockets without
pressing the EJECT button.

TURBO BOOST FUNCTION

Pressing the ‘TURBO’ button while mixing
provides an extra burst of power (overriding
the speed setting being used). Press the
‘TURBO’ button and hold it down for no
more than 30 seconds to avoid overheating.
After the ‘TURBO’ button has been used,
always turn the hand mixer off and allow it
to cool for a few minutes before using again.

TIMER FUNCTION

Many recipes will tell you to mix, beat or
whisk ingredients together for a certain
amount of time. Your hand mixer has a
timer function which allows you to see
how long you have been mixing. Once you
begin operating the hand mixer, the timer
will automatically start counting. Once the
hand mixer is switched off, the timer will
automatically return to 00:00.

CAUTION

Avoid contact with attachments
during operation. Keep hands, hair,
clothing, spatulas and other utensils
away from the attachments to prevent
personal injury or damage to the hand
mixer.

CARE & CLEANING

CLEANING

Step 1

Before cleaning, ensure the ‘ON/OFF’ switch
is in the ‘OFF’ position and the power plug
is unplugged from the power outlet.

Step 2

Press the EJECT button and remove the
attachments.

Step 3

Use a rubber spatula to remove any mixture
remaining on the attachments. Wash the
whisk, beaters or dough hooks in warm
soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and
dry thoroughly. The attachments may also
be washed in the dishwasher. Do not allow
the attachments to soak in water for an
extended period of time as this may damage
the metal finish.

NOTE

Do not use abrasive scouring pads or
cleaners when cleaning the attachments
as these may scratch the surface.

STORAGE

Always unplug the hand mixer from the
power outlet before storage. Wrap the power
cord around the motor body. Stand the
motor body upright on its heel rest. Safely
store the attachments to avoid damage.

Step 4

Wipe the motor body with a damp cloth and
dry thoroughly. Polish with a soft dry cloth.

Step 5

Wipe any excess food particles from the
power cord.

CAUTION

Never immerse the hand mixer, power
cord or power plug in water or any
other liquid.

MIXING GUIDE

MEASURING AND WEIGHING
INGREDIENTS

Weighing Scales

For consistent results it is recommended to
use weighing scales if possible as they provide
greater accuracy than measuring cups. Place
a container onto the scale, tare (or zero) the
scales, then spoon or pour ingredients in until
the desired weight is achieved.

Dry Measuring Cups and Spoons

For dry ingredients, use nested plastic or
metal dry measuring cups and spoons.
Do not use tableware cups or spoons. It
is important to spoon or scoop the dry
ingredients loosely into the cup. Do not tap
the cup or pack the ingredients into the cup
unless otherwise directed eg. packed brown
sugar. This extra amount can affect the
critical balance of the recipe. Level the top
of the cup by sweeping the excess with the
back of a knife or spoon handle.

When using measuring spoons for either
liquid or dry ingredients such as yeast,
sugar, salt, dry milk or honey, measurements
should be level, not heaped.

Liquid Measuring Cups

For liquid ingredients, use transparent
plastic or glass liquid measuring cups with
the measurements marked clearly on the
side. Do not use non-transparent plastic
or metal measuring cups unless they have
measurement markings on the side. Place
the cup on a horizontal flat surface and
view markings at eye level. The level of the
liquid must be aligned to the appropriate
measurement mark. An inaccurate
measurement can affect the critical balance
of the recipe.

NOTE

Do not use tableware, cups or spoons
when measuring ingredients.

A speed indicator is conveniently printed on
the motor body with the suggested mixing
tasks for each speed setting. Use this in
combination with the tables below:
