Kneading Hook (c1)
The hook is used when making all types of
bread or yeast dough and takes all the hard
work out kneading. The planetary action
ensures a smooth, elastic dough. Use it for
bread, rolls, buns, pizza, pasta dough and
sweet dough including yeast batter doughs for
savarin, kugelhopf and rum babas.
Mixer blade (c2)
This is the attachment that is most frequently used.
You can use it for mixing cake mixtures either by
the creamed or all-in-one method, making pastry,
for rubbed-in mixtures such as crumbles and rock
cakes, mashed potatoes, biscuit dough, choux
pastry, icing and crumbing biscuits for
cheesecakes and biscuit crumb flan cases.
Whisk (c3)
The shape of the whisk is designed to
incorporate the maximum amount of air into
the food. Use for whisking egg whites,
meringues, whipping cream, batters mixtures,
mayonnaise, whipped desserts such as
soufflés and mousses, cheesecakes, and
whisked sponges. Do not use the whisk for
heavy mixtures, such as creaming fat and
sugar, as you could damage it.
Blender (d)
Ideal for blending and puréeing soups and
sauces, making frothy milkshakes, smoothies
and cocktails, puréeing soft fruits or cooked
vegetables and fruit, making batters and
mayonnaise. The stainless steel jug, apart
from being stylish, has the advantage of
keeping the ingredients cool which is ideal
when making smoothies, cocktails and
milkshakes. It can blend up to 1.5 litres.
Mincer (e) (Available as an additional accessory)
This accessory enables you to mince your
own meat, game, poultry and fish to make
burgers, fish cakes, pâtés, terrines and minced
meat for chilli-con-carne, bolonnaise sauce,
Shepherds pie, meatballs, etc. There are two
different sizes of mincing screens – medium
and coarse.
Mini-chopper (f) (Available as an
additional accessory)
Useful for chopping cloves of garlic, herbs,
parsley, cooked ham, small amounts of bread
for breadcrumbs and baby food.
Note: the mini-chopper is not designed to grind
coffee beans or hard spices.
Grinder (g) (Available as an additional accessory)
Grinds spices, pepper, dried figs and dried
fruit in seconds.
Note: the grinder is not designed to grind coffee
beans. A separate coffee grinder is available to
purchase.
Stainless steel bowl (b1)
The large capacity bowl is made of stainless
steel which has the advantage of staying cool
when whipping cream, making pastry and
whisking egg whites. The bowl has handles to
assist when scraping out food and is
dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
Splash guard (b2)
The splashguard stops powdery food like flour
from producing a cloud of powder when mixing.
It also prevents any splashes from liquid being
mixed in the bowl. There is an opening at the
front so that additional ingredients can be
spooned directly into the bowl during mixing. The
accessory can easily be changed without having
to remove the splashguard.
Spatula (h)
The flexible spatula is designed to fit the
contours of the bowl and scrape every last
bit of mixture out.
Dough cutter (i)
An extremely useful tool, for cutting bread and
biscuit dough. Make up a batch of dough and
divide it into portions using the dough cutter.

reduce it (a12).
- For longer times press and hold the
button and the setting will change more
quickly.
- For shorter times or fine adjustment, press
the button or the button briefly
several times.
