electronic speed sensor control
Your mixer is fitted with an electronic speed sensor control that is designed
to maintain the speed under different load conditions, such as when
kneading bread dough or when eggs are added to a cake mix. You may
therefore hear some variation in speed during the operation as the mixer
adjusts to the load and speed selected - this is normal.

1 Fit the bowl into the base and add the ingredients.
2 Fit the tool then lower the mixer head
3 Fit the splashguard onto the bowl by sliding the cut away section around the
mixer head .
4 To remove the splashguard reverse the above procedure.

During mixing, ingredients can be added directly to the bowl via the chute.
