Features of your Café Series® Planetary Mixmaster® Power Drive Bench Mixer

Drive Outlet

The drive outlet allows for the attachment of a range of accessories including pasta rollers and pasta cutters.

1200W motor

Powerful motor achieves thorough mixing results.

Full die-cast metal body with sintered metal gears

The heavy duty die-cast metal body combined with sintered metal gears deliver quality, style and superior performance.

Planetary mixing action

Enables the mixing attachment (beater, Scrapemaster™ spatula beater, whisk or dough hook) to rotate whilst travelling around the inside of the bowl, and reach all

areas of the bowl ensuring ingredients are completely mixed.

Splashguard with pouring chute

Splashguard prevents ingredients from spilling out of the mixing bowl. The pouring chute allows adding ingredients directly into the mixing bowl without having to stop the mixer and lifting the mixer head.

Overmould Handle

The handle on the mixing bowl allows for ease of use during operation and the overmould handle provides comfort for your hand.

Slow start

The mixing speed is gradually increased to prevent ingredients splashing out of the mixing bowl.

Stainless steel mixing bowl

The 4.5L mixing bowl is ideal for mixing large or small quantities of ingredients.

Cord storage

For added convenience the unused cord length can easily be pushed into the base of the mixer for storage.

Pause / Start button

Allows you to instantly stop the mixer to assess the mixing progress and/or add additional ingredients without affecting

the timer.

Carrying grips

Grips at both sides of the mixer base allow for easy carrying.

Lifting the mixer head during the mixing process will automatically cut power to the motor.

Scrapemaster™ spatula beater

Excels at combining ingredients and simultaneously scrapes the sides and the bottom of the mixing bowl, virtually eliminating hand-scraping and batter build-up on the blade. Superior bowl clearance also makes this attachment ideal for smaller mixing quantities.

Die-cast alloy beater

Provides maximum aeration for creaming butter and sugar, and is also ideal for mixing heavy cake mixes.

LCD screen with timer

LCD screen displays mixing time and speed setting. Timer function can be set to count up or down as required.

Speed control dial with 12 variable settings

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

Pause mode

At any stage during your mixing task you can pause the mixer. This enables you to assess the mixing progress, scrape any food mixture down the sides of the mixing bowl

with a spatula, or add additional ingredients - without affecting the timer.

Pause the mixer during operation by pressing the at the front of the speed control dial.

The time on the LCD screen will flash continuously, displaying the mixing time at which the mixer has been paused.

In pause mode, you are able to reset or adjust the timer if desired. Please see details on the Count-up and Count-down timer features below.

To resume your mixing task, simply press the button again. The mixer will resume mixing at the same speed setting, and the timer will resume counting up/down depending on your selection made.

Count-up timer

The count up timer informs you how long your ingredients have been mixing for. The next time you mix the same ingredients you can then set the count-down timer for the specific time.

As soon as you start mixing, the timer will automatically start to count up.

The maximum mixing time is 20 minutes and will be displayed on the LCD screen as “20:00” (twenty minutes, zero seconds).

The mixer will automatically stop mixing after 20 minutes and beep twice.

The screen will flash for about 5 seconds.

The timer will automatically re-set to

“00:00”.

The LCD screen will display the speed setting that it stopped at and this setting will continue to flash.

If you pause the mixer at any time during the mixing process by pressing the button at the front of the speed control dial, the mixing time displayed on the LCD screen will flash until you resume mixing by pressing the button again.

To reset the timer to “00:00”, turn the speed control dial anti-clockwise to the “0” location or, when paused, press the ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons simultaneously.

Count-down timer

The count-down timer is especially useful when following a recipe that specifies mixing times.

The ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons allow you to choose the desired mixing duration. Press the

‘+’ button and you will add 30 seconds. Press the ‘-’ button and you will reduce the previously set mixing time by 30 seconds.

For example, if a recipe calls to “beat for 2 minutes”, you can set the count-down timer to 2 minutes. Simply press the ‘+’

button until “02:00” is displayed on the LCD screen, i.e. press the ‘+’ button four times.

If you would like to change the countdown time after your initial setup, press the button, then press the ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons to increase or reduce the mixing time to the nearest 30 sec increment.

For example, you set the count-down timer to 3 minutes and turn the speed control dial to start mixing on a chosen speed. After 1 minute, 25 seconds, you pause the mixer by pressing the button. The LCD displays the remaining count-down time of 01:35. If you now press the ‘+’ button once to increase the mixing time, the display will show 02:00 (which is the nearest 30 sec increment).

To reset the timer to “00:00”, turn the speed control dial anti-clockwise to the “0” location or, when paused, press the ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons simultaneously.

When the chosen mixing time is completed, the mixer will beep twice to inform you that the time has expired. It will stop mixing automatically. The timer display “00:00” and the LCD screen will flash for about 5 seconds. The LCD screen will display the speed setting that it stopped at and this setting will continue to flash.

If you need to resume mixing, simply press the button or, alternatively, reset the mixer by turning the dial to “0”, and then turn the dial clockwise.

Kitchen Timer function

The timer function can be used without mixing as a kitchen timer or stopwatch.

Timer: Set the time as described in the Count-down timer section on page 9, then press the button while the dial is in “0” (i.e. no speed selected).

When the set time expires, the mixer will beep and the LCD screen will flash

continuously until the button is pressed.

Stopwatch: Simply press the button whilst in “0” (i.e. no speed selected). The maximum time the LCD screen can display is 90 minutes and will be displayed on the LCD screen as “90:00” (ninety minutes, zero seconds).

When the maximum time has been reached, the mixer will beep and the time display on the LCD screen will flash continuously until the button is pressed.

To reset the timer to zero (“00:00”), press the button, then press the ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons simultaneously.

Safety Mechanisms

Thermo cut-off – temperature overload

The mixer is equipped with a self-resetting safety device which safeguards against overheating the motor with excessive loads. If overheating occurs, the mixer will automatically activate the overheating protection device and switch itself off. The mixer will beep and the screen will flash continuously. Switch the mixer off and

unplug it from the power point. Release the mixer head and tilt it back until it is locked into the tilt back position. Let the mixer rest for 30 min.

Electronic protection cut-out

If the mixing load is too heavy for the selected speed and prevents the attachment from rotating, the mixer will cut-out to prevent damage to the unit. If the LCD screen flashes fast and continuously, the motor has not been able to achieve or maintain the set speed. In this case, unplug the mixer and remove some of the mixture from the bowl, working in batches.

Mixer head safety mechanism

The mixer head must be locked down or the motor will not operate. If the mixer head is tilted upwards during operation, the mixer will automatically stop. This is a safety mechanism to avoid injury. To resume your mixing task, lock the mixer head back down and press the button.

Standby mode

The mixer will automatically switch off the LCD screen after 20 minutes to save power. To exit the standby mode, press any button or turn the dial.

Care and Cleaning

Before cleaning your Sunbeam Café Series® Planetary Mixmaster® Power Drive, ensure that the power is turned off at the power outlet, then remove the plug.

Wipe over the outside area of the Planetary Mixmaster® Power Drive including the head and base, with a dampened cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth.

Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord.

Sunbeam recommends to wash the mixing bowl, splashguard, beater, Scrapemaster™ spatula beater, whisk and dough hook in warm soapy water and wipe dry – use a brush if necessary to remove any sticky food particles.

All plastic components deteriorate through prolonged dishwasher use. However, parts of your Café Series® Planetary Mixmaster® are tolerant to dishwasher use. These include the stainless steel mixing bowl, beater, Scrapemaster™ spatula beater, whisk and dough hook.

Note: Place only on the top rack of the dishwasher.

Stainless steel whisk

After washing the stainless steel whisk, the outer wire may have moved out of position and become misaligned (see Figure 9).

Please clip the outer wire back into position (see Figure 10).

Maintenance Service

Your Sunbeam Café Series® Planetary Mixmaster® Power Drive should be regularly checked. After approximately four years

of domestic use, the grease in the gear compartment should be examined. We suggest at that time you send the mixer to your nearest Sunbeam Appliance Service Centre to ensure efficient, correct servicing.

Storage

Keep your Sunbeam Café Series® Planetary Mixmaster® Power Drive in a convenient position on your kitchen bench ready for use at all times. Place the beater, Scrapemaster™ spatula beater, whisk and dough hook in the mixing bowl as storage of these attachments in a drawer with other kitchen equipment may cause damage.

Note: Never wind the power cord around the mixer after use as the warmth from the motor may cause damage to the power cord. For added convenience the unused cord length can easily be pushed into the base of the mixer for storage.
