CHANGING SPEEDS
The GEAR SHIFT LEVER is used to change speeds. Always stop the mixer before changing speeds. To change speeds, push the STOP button, move the gear shift lever to the desired speed, and restart the mixer by pushing the START button. NOTE: If you do not stop the mixer to change speeds, it will automatically shut itself off and you will have to restart it after changing speeds.
Mixer Speeds
Speed 1 (Low) — This speed is for heavy mixtures such as bread dough, heavy batters, and potatoes.
Speed 2 (Medium) — This speed is for light dough which must rise quickly, cake batters, mashing potatoes, and some whipping operations.
Speed 3 (High) — This is a fast speed for light work, such as whipping cream, beating eggs, and mixing thin batters.
BOWL LIFT
D340 models equipped with a Handwheel raise the bowl by turning the Handwheel clockwise; and lower the bowl by turning the Handwheel counterclockwise. Mixers equipped with Handwheel bowl lift device must be turned off to lower the bowl.
MIXING
This section explains operation of the mixer and how to install bowls, agitators, and attachments. A separate Use and Applications Handbook is provided with the mixer which contains information on mixing procedures and outlines specific uses for agitators, attachments, and accessories.
Bowl
New mixer bowls and agitators (beaters, whips, and dough arms) should be thoroughly washed with hot water and a mild soap solution, rinsed with either a mild soda or vinegar solution, and thoroughly rinsed with clear water BEFORE being used. This cleaning procedure should also be followed for bowls and agitators before whipping egg whites or whole eggs.
The bowl must be installed before the agitator.
To install the bowl, fully lower the bowl support. Position the bowl so the alignment bracket on the back of the bowl is in the bowl retainer on the bowl support and the alignment pins on the front of the bowl support fit in the holes in the bowl. Lock the bowl in place by rotating the bowl clamps over the ears of the bowl.
Agitator
To install an agitator, the bowl must be installed and fully lowered. Place the agitator in the bowl, push it up on the agitator shaft, and turn it clockwise to seat the shaft pin in the slot of the agitator shank.
To Raise the Bowl While Mixing
To raise the bowl while the agitator is mixing the product (when required by recipe or when using the Bowl Scraper Attachment): Load ingredients. Close Wire Cage Assembly. Select Low speed. To begin mixing, press and hold the Start button; then raise the bowl.
