Features of your Planetary Mixmaster® Bench Mixer

A.850W motor

Powerful motor.

B.Planetary mixing action

Enables the mixing attachment (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.

C. Stainless steel mixing bowl

The 5L mixing bowl is ideal for mixing large or small quantities of ingredients.

D.Speed control dial with 8 variable settings

The combination of 8 electronic speeds and a powerful torque control motor ensures superior mixing control and maintains speed.

E. Lever for head release

The lever activates the head release of the mixer. It tilts upwards and locks securely into position to allow easy

insertion and removal of the mixing bowl and attachments. The in-built safety feature ensures that the mixer only starts when the mixer head is tilted downwards and securely locked in. Lifting the mixer head during the mixing process will automatically cut power to the motor.

F. Beater

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

G. Scraper Beater

Perfect for 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.

H. Stainless steel Whisk

Perfect for aerating, whisking egg whites, whipping cream.

I.Dough Hook

Takes the hard work out of kneading dough and other heavy mixtures.

Using your Planetary Mixmaster® Bench Mixer

Before using your Planetary Mixmaster® Bench Mixer

Before using your Planetary Mixmaster® Bench Mixer for the first time, remove any packaging material and promotional labels or tags. It is recommended to wash the mixing bowl, beater, scraper beater, whisk, dough hook, splash guard and pouring chute in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

– Beater for creaming butter and sugar, plus mixing heavy cake mixes.

– Whisk for aerating, whisking egg whites, whipping cream.

Set-up

Before assembling your Planetary Mixmaster® Bench Mixer, be sure the power cord is unplugged from the power outlet. Position the mixer on a level, dry surface such as a bench top.

1.Turn the lever to release the head of the mixer. Ease the mixer head backwards until it locks into its tilt position (Fig. 1).

2.Select the desired attachment depending on the mixing task to be performed:

– Dough Hook for kneading dough and other heavy mixtures.

– Scraper Beater for smaller

amounts of mixture or for

faster creaming of butter and

sugar. Also great for folding

ingredients

3. Attach the selected mixing attachment on to the mixing shaft. Align the groove in the top of the attachment into the locking pin on the mixing shaft. Push the attachment upwards over the locking pin and turn anti-clockwise until securely locked in. (Fig 2).

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.

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. Unplug the mixer and remove some of the mixture from the bowl, working in batches.

Note: When using extremely heavy loads the appliance should not be operated for more than 3 minutes. This does not apply to the recipes detailed in this booklet.

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.

Mixing Guide

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.

Hints & Tips

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 not 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 additional ingredients begin combining then slowly increase to the appropriate speed for the particular mixing task.
