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.

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.

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:

Figure 1

– Beater for creaming butter

and sugar, plus mixing heavy
cake mixes.

– Whisk for aerating, whisking

egg whites, whipping cream.

– 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).

.

4. Place the bowl on the base. Then
gently rotate the bowl in a clockwise
direction until it locks into position (Fig

movement.

5. Add ingredients to the mixing bowl.

6. Turn the lever whilst pushing the head
of the mixer down. (Fig. 4)

7. Plug the power cord into a 230/240 Volt
AC power outlet.

8. Turn the speed control dial clockwise to
commence mixing (Fig. 5). Please refer
to the mixing guide on page 7.

Warning: Switch off the appliance and
disconnect from supply before changing
accessories or approaching parts that
move in use.

9. When mixing is complete, turn the
speed control dial anti-clockwise to the
‘O’ position.

11. Turn the lever to release the head of the
mixer until it is locked into the tilt back
position (see Fig1. page 4).

Safety Mechanisms

Mixing Guide

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.

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.

KNEADING

Doughs (pastry, bread, scones etc.)

FOLDING

Combining or initial mixing of ingredients
Folding

LIGHT MIXING

Beating – sugar and butter, cake mixes

CREAMING & BEATING

Whisking – light batters
Beating – heavy batters/icing

WHIPPING & AERATING

Whisking – egg whites/cream

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.
