Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR
SUNBEAM MIXMASTER BENCH MIXER.
• Never eject beaters, dough hooks or whisks
when the appliance is in operation.
• Ensure fingers are kept well away from moving
beaters, whisks and dough hooks.
• Ensure that the bowl is secured and locked
onto the base of the mixer before commencing
mixing.
• Do not unlock or remove the mixing bowl from
the base of the mixer whilst mixer is in use.
Sunbeam is 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.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
• The temperature of accessible surfaces may be high
when the appliance is operating.
• Never leave an appliance unattended while in use.
• Should you be using a spatula during mixing,
ensure that the spatula is kept well away from
moving beaters, whisks and dough hooks.
• Never tilt back the head of the mixer whilst the
appliance is in operation.
• When using extremely heavy loads the
appliance should not be operated for more
than 1 minute 30 seconds. This does not
apply to the recipes detailed in this booklet.
• Ensure long hair is tied back and young
children are not near the moving bowl.
• 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.
• Do not operate any electrical appliance with a
damaged cord or after the appliance has been
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.
• Appliances are not intended to be operated by
means of an external timer or separate remote
control system.
• This appliance is intended to be used in household
and similar applications such as: staff kitchen areas

Attachment eject button
The eject button, located on the top of the
handle releases the beaters, dough hooks or
whisks for easy cleaning.
Twin-motor 3-way beating action
Patent pending twin-motor design enables one
motor to drive the beaters, each turning in
opposite directions. The second motor drives the
bowl, thus combined, this new technology results
in a more powerful and thorough mixing result.
Variable bowl speed
The bowl speed increases and decreases
automatically as the beater speed is increased
and decreased.
Off-centre head & beaters
The head of the mixer and beaters are positioned
off-centre to make it easier to add ingredients
during mixing.
Tilt back locking head
The head of the mixer tilts back and locks
securely into position to allow easy removal of
mixing bowls and attachments.
Bowl selector
Simply slide the bowl selector lever to the left
when using the small bowl and to the right when
using the large bowl.

to use, place it on the rotating base.
Gently rotate the bowl in an anti-clockwise
direction until it drops into position or
is sitting flat (a). Then rotate the bowl
clockwise to lock it into position (b).
The bowl should feel firm with no
movement (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.
(10)
Tip: When kneading yeast dough's, use
speed 1-5 to achieve best results. For
more specific instructions for the use of
the dough hooks see 'Helpful Hints for a
Successful Dough' on page 14 of this book.
3. When mixing is complete, turn the speed
control dial to the left or downwards, until
you have reached the 'Off' position (11)
and unplug the cord from the power outlet.
Using your Mixmaster
1. With the speed control dial in the 'Off'
position, plug the power cord into a
230/240 Volt AC power outlet.
2. The speed control dial turns the mixer
'On' and 'Off', controling the beater speeds
and also the bowl rotation speed. Turn the
speed control dial to the right or upwards
to commence mixing (10).
Clearly marked instructions for correct
mixing speeds for each type of mixture are
shown in the 'Mixing Guide' on page 8.

(see diagrams 1 and 2 on page 4).
5. To remove the particular attachments
(either beaters, whisks or dough
hooks) place fingers loosely around the
attachments and press the eject button
located at the front of the handle (12).
Role of the twin-motor 3-way
beating action
Sunbeam launched its 3-way beating action
in the late 1920s which revolutionised
mixing at the turn of a dial. The 3-way
beating action is determined by each of the
two beaters turning against each other, plus
then the bowl also rotating.
Our latest innovation of this historic 3-way
beating action has been the introduction
of an additional motor into the design. One
motor is located in the head of the mixer.
This drives the individual beaters, turning
each in opposite directions.
The second motor is located in the base
of the neck of the mixer and drives the
turntable, in turn rotating the bowl against
the direction of the outside beater. The
speed of the bowl rotation is automatically
determined depending on the mixing speed
selected.
Therefore as the mixing speed increases
so does the speed of the bowl, and as the
mixing speed is decreased, the bowl speed
also slows.
These actions combine to ensure a more
powerful and thorough mixing result.
This twin-motor design is patent pending.

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 mixer depending on what stage
of the recipe you are working on. This is
communicated in the recipe section.
10
When mixing larger quantities you may
need to increase the mixer 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.
