Warning: Do not stick a knife, metal spoon, fork and so on into the bowl when the appliance is
operating.
DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF THE INGREDIENTS, THE BOWL CAN BE USED TO
PREPARE UP TO 2 KG OF DOUGH.
CHOOSING A SPEED
If you have ingredients in the bowl which may splash (e.g. cream or flour), start with the lowest
speed, then increase it if necessary.
If you feel that the machine is turning without enough torque, increase the speed.
This guide may help you select a speed for most tasks. These guides are manufacturer
recommendations and must be considered along with user preferences and experience. Please
adjust the mixer’s speed as needed.
Accessory Speed
Dough hook 1/3 of full speed
Stirrer ½ of full speed
Whisk Full speed
Alternatively, the Pulse (P) setting may be used for fast, single operations.
SUGGESTIONS FOR USE
Refrigerated ingredients, ie. Butter and eggs should be at room temperature before mixing
begins. Set these ingredients out ahead of time.
To eliminate the possibility of shells or rotten eggs in your recipe, break the eggs into a
separate container first, check them and then add them to the mixture.
Do not over-beat. Be careful that you only mix/ blend mixtures until recommended in your
recipe. Fold into dry ingredients only until they are “just” combined. Always use a low speed.
Climatic conditions. Seasonal temperature changes, temperature of ingredients and their
texture variation from area to area all play a part in the required mixing time and the results
achieved.
Always start mixing at slow speeds. Gradually increase to the recommended speed as
stated in the recipe.
Page 8

If you want to clean the sides and base of the mixing bowl/ container with a hand-held
utensil, first switch the machine to “0” / “OFF”.
To avoid unnecessary splashing, immerse the attachment into the mixture before switching
the appliance ON.
Unplug the appliance when not in use, before fitting or removing the mixing attachments
and before cleaning it.
Avoid coming into contact with moving parts. Keep hands, hair, clothes, as well as spatulas
and other utensils away during operation to prevent injury and/or damage to the appliance.
The speed can be adjusted at any time. Starting from “0” / “OFF” and then adjusting the
speed to the food type being mixed. For thicker mixtures, a low speed is recommended. For
fine consistency, use the high-speed settings.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
This stand bowl mixer is for household use only and is not user-serviceable.
Do not open or change any parts by yourself. Please refer to a qualified electrical service
department or return to the supplier if servicing is necessary.
Always remember to unplug the unit from the electrical outlet when not in use and before
cleaning. Ensure that the speed control is set to “0” / “OFF”.
It is much easier to clean the mixing accessories and bowl directly after they have been
used. Wash them in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry well.
The body of the appliance should be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not let water enter the
appliance.
Do not use bleach or other abrasive substance or solvents to clean your appliance as it can
be damaging to the finish.
Do not immerse the mixer in water or any other liquid, or hold it under a running tap to
clean.
To remove stubborn spots/marks, wipe the surfaces with a cloth slightly dampened in
soapy water or mild non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse and dry with a clean, dry soft cloth.
CAUTION: The main body of the appliance should never be submerged in water or held under a
running tap. To clean, simply wipe with a damp cloth.
STORING THE APPLIANCE
