Before assembling your mixer, be sure the

power cord is unplugged from the power outlet and the speed control switch is in the ‘0’ OFF position.

1. Press the ‘tilt’ button, located on top of the neck of the mixer. While the button is depressed, hold the handle and ease the head of the mixer back, see figure 1. The mixer head will lock into this tilt position, see figure 2.

2. Select the desired attachments, depending

on the mixing task to be performed: beaters for whisking, mixing and beating, or dough hooks for kneading.

Inserting the beaters

3a. Beaters can be inserted in either socket,

as the beaters are identical.

Inserting the dough hooks

3b. To insert the dough hooks, place the

dough hook with the small washer into the left socket. Place the other dough hook into the right socket.

Note: Ensure both beaters or dough hooks

are fully inserted into the correct sockets or your mixing results may be affected.

Using your mixer

1. With the speed control switch in the ‘0’ OFF position, plug the power cord into a 230-240V AC power outlet.

2. Use the speed control switch to turn the mixer ‘ON’ and ‘ OFF’ and to control the mixing speeds.

Clearly marked instructions for correct

mixing speeds for each type of mixture are shown in the Mixing Guide on page 8.

Tip: Always start mixing at slow speeds

and increase the speed gradually to prevent ingredients splashing out of the mixing bowl.

When adding dry ingredients use the

lowest speed to prevent the ‘snow storm’ effect.

Tip: When kneading yeast doughs, use

‘LO’ speed 1 to achieve best results. (For specific instructions for the use of dough hooks see Helpful Hints for a Successful Dough on page 14).

3. When mixing is complete, turn the speed control switch to the ‘0’ OFF position and unplug the cord from the power outlet.

4. Hold down the ‘tilt’ button and ease the head of the mixer back until the mixer head is locked into the tilt position, see figures 1 and 2.

5. To remove the beaters/dough hooks, place fingers loosely around the spindles and press the eject button located at the front of the head of the mixer, see figure 5.

Press eject button

Care and Cleaning

Before cleaning your Sunbeam Mixmaster® Compact / Compact Pro, ensure the power is turned off at the power outlet, then remove the plug.

Wipe over the outside area of the mixer and turntable with a dampened cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth.

Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord.

Wash the mixing bowl, beaters and dough hooks in warm soapy water and wipe dry. The beaters and dough hooks may also be placed and washed in the dishwasher.

Important: Do not place the mixing bowl in the dishwasher.

Maintenance Service

Your Sunbeam Mixmaster Compact Pro should be regularly checked. After approximately four years of domestic use, the grease in the gear compartment should be examined (commercial use after two years). We suggest at that time you send the Mixer to your nearest Sunbeam Appliance Service Centre to ensure efficient, correct servicing.

Compact /

Note: The mixer and the turntable have been factory oiled and no additional home oiling is necessary.

Storage

Keep your mixer in a convenient position on your kitchen bench ready for use at all times. Place the beaters and dough hooks into the bowl (storage of beaters and dough hooks in a drawer with other kitchen equipment may cause damage).

Note: Never wind the power cord around the motor after use as the warmth of the motor may cause damage to the power cord.
