• If the accessories (stainless steel whip or stainless steel

For ideal

operation the stainless steel whip and stainless steel V-beater should be almost touching the bottom of the bowl.

– Raise the head, hold the accessory in place and

tighten the nut.

• Your mixer is fitted with an overload protection device

and will stop if overloaded to protect the machine. In the unlikely event this happens: – Switch off and unplug the mixer. – Remove some of the ingredients to reduce the load, and allow

the mixer to stand for a few minutes.

– Plug in and reselect the speed. If the mixer does not restart

immediately allow to stand for additional time.

SPEED CONTROLS – MIXING/ATTACHMENTS

(These are recommended speeds. Adjust to performance as needed for your recipe. For best results turn speed control slowly to the proper speed.) Note: All three power outlets are engaged when power knob is engaged.

STIRRING

The stirring speed is for combining things such as the dry ingredients in a cake, or the initial mixing of ingredients for bread dough. As a guide when making bread dough, the ingredients should be mixed on STIR for 45 seconds to 1 minute, and then the speed increased to 2 for additional 3 to 4 minutes.

2-4 – MIXING

The mixing speeds are great for combining the ingredients to mix items such as mashed potatoes; it also works great on batters that are thin or mostly liquid. This speed is for the colander/sieve and highspeed juice extractor attachments.

5-8 – BEATING

The beating speed is for finishing cake batter. This speed works with the food grinder/stuffer and also the pasta maker.

9-12 – CREAMING

The creaming speed is for creaming shortening and sugar, for making cookies or cakes, and frostings.

MAX – WHIPPING

The Whipping speed is for adding air to the mixture as in making meringues or custards. The whipping speed is also for making whipped cream. This speed can also be used for the high-speed blender attachment.

PULSE

This feature is used with the high-speed blender attachment. For a quick, controlled pulsing job. Hold on “P”; this will operate the blender on high-speed until released.
