Wire Whisk Tips
• A whisk is designed to whip liquids, such
as egg whites and cream. Do not use the
whisk for mixing thick mixtures such as
dough or fudge.
Flat Beater Tips
• Use the flat beater attachment to mix
cakes, cookie dough, fudge, and potatoes.
Cookie dough is one of the thickest
doughs to mix. Make it easier by
following these tips:
• Have butter or margarine at room
temperature.
Dough Hook Tips
• Use the dough hook on settings 2-4 to
knead yeast bread recipes.
• For optimum mixer performance,
single loaf recipes are recommended.
• Bread can be shaped into any shape
and baked in almost any pan. The only
thing this affects is the baking time.
• When yeast is dissolved in warm water,
the water temperature should be 105°
to 115°F. This is usually very warm tap
water.

• Your mixer is designed to whisk a mini-
mum of 2 large egg whites or 1 cup of
cream. Mixer performance is enhanced
as the tip of the whisk is immersed into
the liquid. If smaller quantities are need-
ed, a hand mixer is recommended.
• Add ingredients one at a time, thoroughly
mixing after each addition.
• Add flour one cup at a time.
• If the mixer seems to struggle, increase
the setting.
• Bread rises best in a moist, warm
environment. For a perfect place to
raise bread, place bread in a micro-
wave oven or regular oven with a pan
of steaming water. Do not turn oven
on, but close the door.
• Knead yeast bread dough until the
dough has a satin appearance.
• The dough hook is designed with
a weighted balance on the lip to
enhance kneading performance.
4. The Mixer Bowl and Attachments
can be washed in hot, soapy water or
in a dishwasher.
5. For best results, place the Mixer Bowl
in the dishwasher with the top of the
bowl facing down.
6. Wipe Mixer Head and Base with a
damp cloth.
