Read the instructions and keep them safe. If you pass the mixer on, pass on the
instructions too. Remove all packaging, but keep it till you know the mixer works.

important safeguards

Follow basic safety precautions, including:

1 The mixer must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible adult.
2 It’s not a toy, don’t let children play with it.

3 Don’t put the mixer in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom, near water, or

outdoors.

4 Keep fingers, hair, clothing, kitchen utensils, etc. clear of the bowl and attachments.

5 Switch off, unplug the mixer, and wait till the motor stops before fitting or removing

an attachment, before dismantling, and before cleaning.

6 Don’t put anything into the bowl that’s hotter than you can comfortably handle (i.e.

liquid temperature below 40°C).

7 Don’t let anything other than ingredients and the attachments get into the bowl

while the mixer is plugged in.
8 Don’t leave the mixer unattended while plugged in.
9 Sit the mixer on a water-resistant, dry, stable, level surface.

10 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.
11 Keep the mixer and the cable away from sources of heat.
12 Don’t run the motor for more than 10 minutes, or it may overheat. After 10 minutes,

switch off for at least 10 minutes, to let the motor cool.

13 Don’t use the mixer for any purpose other than those described in these instructions.
14 Don’t use attachments or accessories unless we supply them.
15 Don’t run the mixer empty, it may overheat.
16 Don’t use the mixer if it’s damaged or malfunctions.

manufacturing residues, dust, etc.

positioning

1 Sit the mixer on a water-resistant, dry, stable, level surface.
2 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.

3 Don’t plug the mixer in yet.

raising the arm

4 To withstand the load, the springs in the arm are quite powerful, so:

a) Hold the bottom of the mixer firmly, to reduce splashing.

b) Keep clear of the top of the arm, so it won’t hit you.

c) Check that the mixer is switched off (0).

d) Hold the bottom of the mixer with one hand.

e) Turn the arm release clockwise about a quarter of a turn, with the other hand.

f) The arm will spring up into the raised position.

g) Let the arm release go.

the bowl

5 To remove the bowl, turn it anti-clockwise (U) to release it from its bayonet fittings,

then lift it off the mixer.

a) Whenever possible, add ingredients while the bowl is off the mixer.

b) If this isn’t practical, stop the motor before adding ingredients.

c) If you have to add ingredients while the motor is running, try not to pour them on

the attachment, as this’ll cause splashing (certainly when using the whisk).

d) The contents of the bowl will rise when you start the motor – the higher the

speed, the more they’ll rise.

e) Try not to fill the bowl more than about half full (specially when using the whisk).

caution You must only use the bowl supplied – don’t use any other bowl.

6 To fit the bowl, lower it on to the mixer, and turn it clockwise (L) to lock it in place.

7 Handling the bowl is easier without an attachment fitted, so:

a) Fit the bowl before fitting the attachment.

b) Remove the bowl after removing the attachment.

the attachments

8 Fit and remove the attachments with the arm in the raised position.
9 Push the top of the attachment into the drive shaft, and turn, to lock it in place.

10 To remove it, turn it the opposite way, then pull it out of the drive shaft.

the speed control

11 Turn the control clockwise to the speed you want.
12 The range is from 1 (low) to 6 (high).
13 Turning the speed control anti-clockwise to Y will give you a pulse at high speed,

for use with the whisk.

14 In this position, the switch is spring-loaded – when you let go, it’ll move back to 0.
15 Use the Y function to give more precise control over the state of the mixture.

a) Turn the speed control to Y for a second or two, then release it.

b) Check the state of the mixture.

c) Repeat till the mixture is the consistency that you need.

, Don’t use Y with the beater or dough hook – you may overload the motor

16 You’ll have your own preferences, but generally:

attachment speed use

whisk

beater 3-4 creaming butter and sugar, medium cake mixes

dough hook 1-2 heavy mixtures, bread, pastry

5-6 + Y

beating/aerating cream, egg whites, batter, light mixes

lowering the arm

17 Again, the springs in the arm are quite powerful, so:

a) Check that the mixer is switched off (0).

b) Hold the bottom of the mixer with one hand.

c) Turn the arm release clockwise about a quarter of a turn, with the other hand.

d) Press firmly down on the top of the arm, till it’s horizontal.

e) Let the arm release go.

f) Let the arm go.
