important
G
Some movement of the mixer head is normal when mixing
heavy loads such as bread dough.
G
If the mixer head is raised during operation, the machine will stop working
straight away. To re-start the mixer, lower the mixer head, turn the speed
switch to the off position, wait a few seconds and then re-select the speed.
The mixer should resume operating straight away.
G
If for any reason power to the mixer is interrupted and the machine stops
working, turn the speed switch to the off position, wait a few seconds and
then re-select the speed. The mixer should resume operating straight away.
The mixer will not operate unless all the outlet covers are
G
correctly fitted to the machine.
If you hear the machine labouring either switch off and remove
G
some of the mixture or increase the speed.
Always remove attachments fitted to the medium and high speed outlets
G
before raising the mixer head.
hints
G
Switch off and scrape the bowl with a spatula when necessary.
G
Eggs at room temperature are best for whisking.
G
Before whisking egg whites, make sure there's no grease or
egg yolk on the whisk or bowl.
Use cold ingredients for pastry unless your recipe states otherwise.
G
When creaming fat and sugar for cake mixes, always use the fat at room
G
temperature or soften it first.
Your mixer has been fitted with a 'soft start' feature to minimise spillage.
G
However if the machine is switched on with a heavy mixture in the bowl
such as bread dough, you may notice that the mixer takes a few seconds to
reach the selected speed.
points for bread making
important
Never exceed the maximum capacities stated - you will overload the
G
machine.
Some movement of the mixer head is normal when mixing heavy loads such
G
as bread dough.
The ingredients mix best if you put the liquid in first.
G
At intervals stop the machine and scrape the mixture off the dough hook.
G
Different batches of flour vary considerably in the quantities of liquid required
G
and the stickiness of the dough can have a marked effect on the load
imposed on the machine. You are advised to keep the machine under
observation whilst the dough is being mixed; the operation should take no
longer than 6-8 minutes.
