• 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.

• 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.

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.

Stainless steel wire whisks

For whisking cream, egg whites, light batters and packet cake mixes.

Stainless steel 'V-groove' beaters

Heavy duty 'V-groove' beaters for creaming butter and sugar, plus mixing heavy cake mixes.

Stainless steel dough hooks

Heavy duty dough hooks take the hard work out of kneading dough and other heavy mixtures.

12 electronic speeds

The combination of 12 electronic speeds and a powerful torque control motor ensures superior mixing control and maintains speed regardless of the mixing load.

Stainless steel mixing bowls

4.4 and 2.1 litre mixing bowls are ideal for mixing large or small quantities of ingredients.

Die-cast metal body

The heavy duty die-cast metal body combined with non-slip rubber feet keep the mixer stable during operation.

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.

4. Hold down the 'tilt' button and ease the head of the mixer back until the mixer head is locked into the tilt back position (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.

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.
