Assembly and Operation of Your Kambrook
Stand Mixer

Before First Use

Before assembling your Kambrook
Stand Mixer, remove and safely
discard any packaging material
and promotional labels.

Ensure the Speed Control Dial is in
the ‘OFF’ position and the appliance
is switched off at the power outlet
and remove the power cord from
the outlet.

Wash the mixing bowls, beaters
and dough hooks in warm, soapy
water with a soft cloth. Rinse and
dry thoroughly.

Mixing bowls may also be washed
in the dishwasher.

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

Assembling the Mixer Head

1. Place the mixer stand on a level,
dry surface such as a bench top.
Ensure the mixer stand is in the
horizontal position.

2. To assemble the mixer head to the
mixer stand, press down and hold
the ‘Mixer Release Lever’ located
at the rear of the mixer stand.
Align the mixer head on the stand
so that the metal pivot on the
bottom of the mixer head fits into
the latched opening on the top
of the stand. Once fitted, release
the mixer release lever to lock the
mixer head in place as the top of
the lever should clamp securely
around the metal pivot.

3. To tilt the mixing head upward, press
inwards on the ‘Tilt’ button located
on the side of the mixer stand while
pulling up on the handle of the
mixing head to elevate.

NOTE: Make sure the mixer
head is securely attached to
the mixer stand before using.

WARNING: The mixer
should not be used as a
hand mixer. It must always
be used on the stand.

Attaching the Revolving
Turntable

1. To ensure the proper positioning
of the mixing bowl with the mixer,
the turntable has two positions.
Before adjusting the turntable,
decide which bowl will be used.
To adjust the turntable, remove it
from the base of the mixer stand.
To easily identify the correct
operating position for each bowl;
note the graphic icons printed
on the base depicting a large
bowl and a small bowl. Place the
turntable in the hole with the icon
corresponding to the bowl that will
be used (See Fig. 1). The turntable
should spin around freely.

inserted into the corresponding
socket, as indicated by the icon
images located on the underside
of the mixer head. One of the
beaters is shaped like a cone and
has a nylon button on the bottom.
The other beater is square-shaped.
Each beater only fits into its proper
socket. The beaters should be
inserted with a slight twisting
action until they click firmly into
place and hold tight.

power outlet on.

WARNING:

Never
exceed speed setting
number 1 when kneading
heavy ingredients such
as dough.

7. To commence mixing, turn the

Speed Control Dial in a clockwise
direction. Always begin mixing at
a lower speed setting to prevent
splattering. Increase the speed
suited to the mixing task. The
speed setting can be adjusted
during operation by turning the
dial forwards and back. As you
rotate the Speed Control Dial, the
numbered speed indicator light
will illuminate to the corresponding
speed setting. This numbered

dough hooks with care,
as they may be hot
after use.

period of time, i.e. for several
hours or overnight, as this may
damage the metal finish. Do not
wash or soak the mixer stand in
water or any other liquid. Clean
with a damp cloth and dry
thoroughly. Do not allow water or
any other liquid to enter the gear
system as damage may result.

CAUTION: Never immerse
the Stand Mixer, power

Mixing Guide

Problem Possible Solution

Unsure of whether
to use beaters or
dough hooks

• Use beaters for all mixing/whipping tasks.

• Use dough hooks only for preparation of yeast/

bread doughs.

• DO NOT use a dough hook with a beater­this will damage your Kambrook Stand Mixer

Unsure of which speed
setting to use

• Use the mixing guide on page 12 to help select
correct mixing speed when preparing recipes.

• Begin mixing at lowest speed, then increase
to higher speed to prevent splattering.

Object has fallen into
the stand mixer bowl

• Should an object, such as a spoon or spatula, fall
into the bowl while mixing, immediately switch the
Stand Mixer OFF, turn off at the power outlet and
remove cord from the power outlet, then remove
object.

• If the Stand Mixer is damaged in any way, return
to a Kambrook Authorised Service Centre.

Over mixing
has occured

• Mix for the recommended time in the recipe
to avoid over mixing.

Egg whites are
not whipping

• Be sure beaters and bowls are completely clean
and dry before use - even a small amount
of fat will affect the whipping performance.

Bread dough is
not combining

• Some brands of flour absorb more liquid than
others, so additional amounts of liquid may need
to be added if the bread is not combining.

• DO NOT exceed speed setting 1 when kneading.

• DO NOT place hands near dough hooks

when mixer is operating.

The Stand Mixer is
shaking on the bench
while it is in use.

• Remove some of the contents from the bowl,
as the contents may be too heavy.

• The speed setting may be set too high for the
task; reduce the speed.

If batter is too firm • Add more liquid to your batter.

Mixture is curdling after
the eggs have been
added

• Add eggs one at a time, beating well after
each addition.

• Make sure eggs are at room temperature.

Sugar crystals still
visible after creaming

• Continue to cream until sugar has dissolved,
or use caster sugar.

Trouble-shooting Guide

14

Problem Possible Solution

Lumps in batter
or dough

• Sift the flours and sugar before mixing.

Cooked pavlova
weeping (sugar not
dissolved)

• Continue to whip, until all sugar is dissolved. Test
by rubbing a small amount of mixture between
your fingers; if sugar granules are still felt, further
mixing is required.

Beaters or dough
hooks are stalling

• Dough or batter is too thick; add more liquid
or reduce quantity.

• Chocolate nuts, or fruit pieces are too large;
reduce the size of these ingredients to avoid
this problem.
