InstallatIon of new mIxer:
Never lift the mixer by the handle for speed
adjustment.
Installation and securing:
The mixer must be mounted with rubber feet, which neutralize both shaking and rusting. Spacers can be inserted
under the mixer’s feet, if the oor is not completely even.
The mixer is placed directly on the oor. Foundation bolts
in the oor are only necessary under special conditions,
e.g. on ships.
Connection to power:
Before the mixer is connected to power, it should be
checked that the voltage and frequency printed on the
machine label is correct in relation to the place of installation. The machine label is placed at the top right side
of the mixer.
Checking of the direction of rotation of the planetary
head:
Lift up the bowl arms to normal working position
and start the mixer without bowl and tools. Check
the direction of rotation of the planetary head: the
planetary head must rotate in the direction as
stated by the arrow above the planetary head. If
the direction of rotation is wrong, 2 of the phase
wires of the connecting cable must be inverted.
In case of complaints, please contact your supplier.
The guarantee does not cover faults resulting from faulty
operation, overloading and lacking observance of direc-
tions of maintenance.
It should be checked that all loose parts are delivered
with the mixer such as bowl, tools, grease gun and rubber feet
The constant noise level of the workplace of the operator
is lower then 70 dB (A)
The mixer is designed for manufacture of products which do not during processing cause
reactions or emit substances which may be
detrimental to the user.
Putting your ngers in the bowl while the mixer
is running may cause injuries.

OBS:
The mixer is to be connected to power via a plug.
The plug must be dimensioned for min. 16 A,
230/400V~, IP44
When connecting;
1 phase with 0 + earth, use 3 pole plug
2 phases + earth, use 3 pole plug
3 phases + earth, use 4 pole plug
3 phases with 0 + earth, use 5 pole plug

AR = Absorption Ratio (%AR)
(Liquid in % of solids)
ConstruCtIon of the mIxer: reCommended maxImum speeds:
the maxImum CapaCIty of the mIxer:
Local variations in the characteristics of the ingredients can inu-
ence water absorption, volume and baking characteristics, etc.
* Scraper recommended
** Low speed operation is recommended
Example: A basic recipe contains 1 kg of solids and 0,6 kg
of liquid:
This gives AR =
0,6 kgs x 100
= 40%
1 kgs
If for instance it is required to use the maximum capacity of
the mixer, the calculated AR = 60% is used for determining
the amount of solids and liquid in the dough:
If a 100 L mixer is used, and a dough with AR = 60% is to
be kneaded, the maximum capacity is = 70 kg. Now the
weight of solids in this dough is calculated:
Solids =
Max. capacity x100 = 70 kg x 100
= 43,75 kg
AR + 100 60 + 100
Weight of liquid = 70 kg - 43,75 kg = 26,25 kg

A) Place the tool in the bowl. Open the safety guard
B)
Note: the bowl arms must be in the lowest position.
Place the bowl in the bowl arms. Check that the bowl
is pushed right back into the arms and that the “centre
ear” of the bowl arms is facing the mixer (g. 3).
Place
the mixer tool in the bayonet shaft. The tap of the tool
must be turned right into the bayonet hole. Close the
safety guard.
C)
Press to lift the bowl (g. 1). The bowl will auto-
matically stop in the top position.
D)
The mixing time can be set on the timer using the
and buttons. The mixer stops automati-
cally when the mixing time has run out. (If the mixer
stops at high speed when the mixing time runs
out, follow the instructions “Start-up after stop at
high speed” before starting the mixer again).
You can also start the mixer without setting a time.
If you do not set a time, the display will function as
a clock that counts up. See also “Timer function”
on page 5
E)
Start the mixer by pressing (g.1)
F) Turn the speed selector lever (g. 2) to the rear until
the required speed has been obtained, (notice the
recommended maximum speeds on page 3).
The speed must be changed only when the
mixer is running.
The mixer must not be started in high speed
when loaded.
Always change to low speed before using
or otherwise stopping the mixer
G)
During the mixing process the mixer can be paused
by pressing (rst change to low speed).
Yo u
can now lower the bowl or open the safety guard.
If you start the mixer again using the timer
settings will be unchanged.
If you start the mixer using the settings will be
reset. See also “Pause function”
H)
Before the mixer is stopped, the speed selector lever
must be moved back to lowest speed (g.2). Stop the
mixer by pressing (g.1).
J) When the tool has stopped rotating the bowl can be
lowered by pressing .
The mixer has a pause button , which should be used
to stop and start the mixer in a process where the timer
is used.
• Change to low speed
• Stop the mixer using . The timer will continue to
count downwards when you start the mixer again by
pressing .
• When you stop the mixer pressing you can lower
the bowl and open the safety guard. When you press
again, the timer continues to count downwards.
