Kenwood KM280 manual Points for bread making, Speed switch, Maximum capacities, Care and cleaning

hints

●Switch off and scrape the bowl with a spatula when necessary.

●Eggs at room temperature are best for whisking.

●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.

●When creaming fat and sugar for cake mixes, always use the fat at room temperature or soften it first.

●Your mixer has been fitted with a ‘soft start’ feature to minimise spillage. 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 machine.

●Some movement of the mixer head is normal when mixing heavy loads such as bread dough.

●The ingredients mix best if you put the liquid in first.

●At intervals stop the machine and scrape the mixture off the dough hook.

●Different batches of flour vary considerably in the quantities of liquid required 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.

speed switch

These are a guide only and will vary depending upon the quantity of mix in the bowl and the ingredients being mixed.

electronic speed sensor control

Your mixer is fitted with an electronic speed sensor control that is designed to maintain the speed under different load conditions, such as when kneading bread dough or when eggs are added to a cake mix. You may therefore hear some variation in speed during the operation as the mixer adjusts to the load and speed selected - this is normal.
