Fitting and changing the mixing and whisking tools

1.Lift the upper section (1) by pressing the release button (4) in and flipping the section up. You may lift by the handle (2).

2.Place the required mixing or whisking tools (10-12) in the holes (6). Always use the same type of tool in both holes. The tool equipped with two red plastic couplings should be fitted to the hole on the left marked with a red dot.

3.Check that the tools are fitted correctly. You will hear a click when they are pushed right in. You may need to turn the tools slightly before they fit correctly.

4.Press the release button in, lower the upper section completely and check that it is locked firmly in the lowest position.

5.When the mixing or whisking tools are to be removed, you must lift the upper section and press the release button (3) on the handle. Then remove the tools from the holes.

Fitting and changing the mixing bowl

1.When the small mixing bowl is to be used, the mixing bowl selector (9) must be in the position to the left (seen from the front). When the large mixing bowl is to be used, the mixing bowl selector must be in the position to the right.

2.Place the mixing bowl selector in the correct position before the mixing bowl is fitted by pressing the handle down slightly, turning it fully to the left or right and releasing it so that it locks tight. The handle must be locked tight when the mixer is in use.

3.Lift the upper section as described in the section ‘Fitting and changing the mixing and whisking tools’ if this is necessary to be able to fit the bowl (if, for example, tools are fitted to the upper section).

4.Fit the bowl (8) by placing it on the base and turning it clockwise until it is firmly in place.

5.Release the bowl by turning it anti-clockwise until it is loose on the base and then lift it off.

Operating the mixer

1.The speed selector (5) is used to start and stop the mixer and to select the speed. When the speed selector is turned away from position 0 Off, the mixer starts. The mixing or whisking tools begin to move, and the mixing bowl rotates. Remember that the mixing or whisking tools must be in the mixture in the bowl before the mixer starts.

2.The speed can be set to 12 different settings, where 1 is the slowest, and 12 the fastest. The speed can be changed while the mixer is running.

3.The mixer can be switched off by turning the speed selector back to position 0 Off. The mixing and whisking tools and mixing bowl stop.

Tips

The following suggestions for mixing speeds are for guidance only. Always use common sense, and check the mixture in the bowl regularly while the mixer is running.

Speed	Use
1-3	Start for all whisking operations and for
	mixing dough or minced meat as well as
	mixtures of wet and dry ingredients
4-6	Mixing various sauces, mashed potato,
	etc.
7-9	Mixing cake mixes
10-12	Whisking cream, egg whites, whole
	eggs, etc.
	Also suitable for mixing butter and
	sugar, etc.

•When whisking large quantities of ingredients, it may be necessary to select a higher speed than normal.

•Lower the speed before adding flour, icing sugar or similar to a mixture as the ingredients may otherwise swirl around the area around the mixer due to the high speed.

•Never use too high a speed when mixing a very heavy mixture, e.g. white bread dough. If it is difficult for the tools to turn in the mixture, reduce the speed, and add a small amount of liquid, if required. If the mixer cannot go round in the mixture, you should do it manually, otherwise the motors in the mixer may become overloaded.

•The mixer is supplied with two sets of whisks, one light and one powerful, as well as a dough hook. The light whisks (10) are used to whisk cream, egg whites and similar, and the heavy whisks (11) are used for mixing butter and sugar, whisking cake mixes, etc. The dough hooks (12) are used for heavy mixtures, e.g. white bread dough and minced meat.

•The mixing and whisking tools can be kept in the mixing bowl on the mixer when they are not in use. If you keep them in a kitchen drawer, make sure it is high enough, otherwise the tools, the drawer or other items in the drawer may be damaged.

CLEANING

•Wipe the mixer with a damp cloth.

•The mixing bowls and the mixing and whisking tools can be washed in warm, soapy water and can also be washed in a dishwasher.

•Do not use any kind of strong or abrasive cleaning agent on the mixer or accessories. Never use a steel brush or scrubbing brush to clean the mixer, as the surface may be damaged.
