Sunbeam are very safety conscious when

designing and manufacturing consumer products,
but it is essential that the product user also
exercise care when using an electrical appliance.
Listed below are precautions which are essential
for the safe use of an electrical appliance:

• Read carefully and save all the instructions
provided with an appliance.

• Always turn the power off at the power outlet
before you insert or remove a plug. Remove
by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.

• Turn the power off and remove the plug
when the appliance is not in use and
before cleaning.

• Do not use your appliance with an extension
cord unless this cord has been checked
and tested by a qualified technician or
service person.

• Always use your appliance from a power
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked
on the appliance.

• Close supervision is necessary when your
appliance is being used near children or
infirm persons.

• Never leave an appliance unattended while
in use.

• Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.

• Do not use an appliance for any purpose
other than its intended use.

• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas
flame, electric element or on a heated oven.
Do not place on top of any other appliance.

• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang
over the edge of a table or bench top or touch
any hot surface.

• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance
by unskilled persons, some appliances are
‘sealed’ using tamperproof screws. Such
appliances should always be returned to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for adjustment or repair if required.

• Do not operate any electrical appliance with a
damaged cord or after the appliance has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. If damage
is suspected, return the appliance to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for examination, repair or adjustment.

• For additional protection, Sunbeam
recommend the use of a residual current
device (RCD) with a tripping current not
exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit
supplying power to your appliances.

• Do not immerse the appliance in water
or any other liquid unless recommended.

If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance,

please visit www.sunbeam.com.au or contact the Sunbeam Consumer Service Line.

Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.

Before using your Mixmaster Series II

Before assembling your Sunbeam Mixmaster
Series II, be sure the power cord is
unplugged from the power outlet and the
speed control dial is in the 'O' position.

1. Press the ‘tilt' button, located on the
neck of the Mixmaster and swing the
mixer head up, see Figure 1. The mixer
head will lock into this tilt position.

2. Select the desired attachments depending
on the mixing task to be performed;

– Beaters for creaming butter and sugar,

mixing cake mixes and whisking cream
and egg whites.

– Dough hooks for kneading dough and

other heavy mixtures.

Inserting attachements

3a.Take the two beaters, place the

oval shaped beater (A) into the
left socket, (outer position).
Place the other beater, with
the plastic nodules on the base
(B) into the right socket, (inner
position), see Figure 2.

3b. Take the two dough hooks, place the

dough hook with the shorter hook at
the bottom (A) into the left socket,
(outer position). Likewise, place the
dough hook with the longer hook at
the bottom (B) into the right socket,
(inner position), see Figure 3.

inserted appear to be touching, as they do in
the illustration on the right, then they have
been inserted incorrectly.

Note: Be sure both beaters or dough hooks
click firmly in place, you may need to twist
the attachments slightly to engage them in
position prior to pushing them into place.

Attachments can only be locked in place if
they are in the correct socket. If only one
of the attachments will lock in place, the
attachments are in the wrong sockets.

4. Place the mixing bowl onto the metal base
plate so that it is sitting evenly. Lock the
bowl into place by turning it clockwise,
see Figure 5.

5. Press ‘tilt’ button to lower the head with
the selected attachments (either, beaters
or dough hooks) in place, into the mixing
bowl. See Figure 6.

Using your Mixmaster Series II

1. With the speed control dial in the 'O'
position, plug the power cord into a
230-240 volt power outlet.

Note: The power indicator light on the speed
control dial will now be illuminated.

2. Use the speed control dial to turn the
Mixmaster 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 7.

Tip: Start mixing at slow speeds and increase
speed gradually to prevent ingredients
splashing out of the mixing bowl. When
adding dry ingredients, particularly flour,
lower the speed temporarily until ingredients
are combined.

Tip: When kneading yeast doughs, use
speed 1 to achieve best results. For specific
instructions for the use of dough hooks see
'Helpful Hints for a Successful Dough' on
page 13.

Selecting the mixing bowl speed

1. The mixing bowl automatically turns on

when the speed control dial is turned
on. For majority of mixing tasks the

bowl speed should be set on the 'LO'
speed setting. For light mixes requiring
maximum mixing performance such as
cakes and meringue, the 'HI' bowl speed
is recommended as this passes the
mixture through the beaters more often
for faster results. For large volumes the
bowl speed should be reduced to "LO",
particularly in thick mixtures.

2. When mixing is complete, turn the speed
control dial to the 'O' position and unplug
the cord from the power outlet.

Note: The indicator light will stay on until
power is disconnected from the mixer.

3. Hold down the ‘tilt’ button and ease the
Mixmaster head back until the mixer head
is locked into the tilt back position, see
Figure 1.

4. To remove the particular attachments

(either beaters or dough hooks), place

fingers loosely around the attachments
and hold down the ‘beater eject’ button
see Figure 7.

Using your Sunbeam Mixmaster Series II (continued)

One motor is located in the head of the
Mixmaster. This drives the individual beaters,
turning each in opposite directions.

The second motor is located in the neck
of the Mixmaster and drives the turntable,
in turn rotating the bowl. High or low bowl
speed can be selected by simply turning the
control dial positioned on the neck of the
Mixmaster Series II.

These actions combine to ensure a more
powerful and thorough mixing result.

Please keep in mind that the various mixing
tasks and related speeds, listed in the table
below, may vary slightly from recipe to
recipe.

Please refer to it regularly as you develop
your understanding of how different
ingredients interact when mixing.

NOTES: For most recipes, it is better to begin
your mixing on a slower speed until the
ingredients begin combining, then move to
the appropriate speed range for the particular
task.

Generally there is no one set speed for an
entire recipe. You will need to change the
speed of the Mixmaster depending on what
stage of the recipe you are working on. This
is communicated in the recipe section.

When mixing larger quantities you may need
to increase the Mixmaster speed due to the
amount of mixing required and the larger
load on the machine.

When building up a recipe that requires the
addition of dry ingredients, such as flour,
slow the speed down whilst these ingredients
are being added to avoid a snow storm effect.
Once the extra ingredients begin combining
then slowly increase to the appropriate speed
for the particular mixing task.

For your information, the following temperature settings are included as a guide. These
settings may need to be adjusted to suit the individual range.

Before cleaning your Sunbeam Mixmaster
Series II, ensure the power is turned off at
the power outlet, then remove the plug.

Wipe over the outside area of the Mixmaster
and base 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.
Give special attention to the nylon button
area on the beater - use a brush if necessary
to remove sticky food particles. The stainless
steel mixing bowl, beaters and dough hooks
may also be placed and washed in the
dishwasher.

Maintenance Service

Your Sunbeam Mixmaster Series II 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 Mixmaster to your
nearest Sunbeam Appliance Service Centre to
ensure efficient, correct servicing.

Note: The Sunbeam Mixmaster Series II and
the base have been factory oiled and no
additional home oiling is necessary.

Storage

Keep your Sunbeam Mixmaster Series II 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.

Care and Cleaning

Listed below is a guide regarding some of the
ingredients used in the recipes in this book.

Butter

Butter is made from approximately 80% milk
fat (cream) and is churned over a period of
time to produce a solid (butter). Butter is
used to stabilize, texturize and add flavour.
Butter may be salted or unsalted, it is best to
use unsalted butter for cake baking. Clarified
butter has the milk solids and salt removed,
which is ideal for pastry making as it can be
heated to higher temperatures than regular
butter.

Note: Margarine can be used as a substitute
for butter. It is made from vegetable oils,
therefore it may alter the end result. There
are various types of margarines, some of
these are butter-margarine blends and fat
reduced.

Yeast

A raising agent used in doughs. Yeast is
a microscopic living organism that grows
rapidly in suitable warm, moist conditions.
The yeast plant feeds on sugar and expels
carbon dioxide which expands the gluten
framework. When foaming yeast do not allow
the water temperature to exceed 40°C, as
this will kill the yeast. A 26˚C - 30˚C, draft
free area is most suitable for the growth of
yeast during the rising process. Both Dry
Yeast and fresh Compressed Yeast may be
used in the recipes included in this book.
(NB. 7g of dry yeast is equivalent to 20g of
compressed yeast).

Substitutes

If you find it necessary to substitute
ingredients in a recipe, check the following
alternatives:

1 cup self raising flour = 1 cup plain flour and
2 teaspoons baking powder.

1 cup plain flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder
= ½ cup each of plain and self raising flour.

Sultanas = equal measure of any other dried

fruit.
Golden Syrup = equal measure of treacle or

molasses.
1 cup buttermilk = 1 cup fresh milk and 2

teaspoons vinegar or lemon juice.
