ISSUE	TIP

Choice of beaters	Do not use a dough hook with a beater - this will damage
	the Mixer.

Speed Settings	Use the mixing guide above to select a suitable mixing speed
	when preparing recipes. Begin mixing at lowest speed then
	increase to higher speed to prevent splattering.

Bowl Speed	Use the low bowl speed for speeds 1-6 and the high bowl speed
	for speeds 6-12.

Mixing	Mix for the recommended time in the recipe - avoid over
	mixing.
	Should an object such as a spoon or spatula fall into the bowl
	while mixing immediately turn the mixer off, unplug at the
	power outlet and remove the object.

Egg white	Be sure the beaters and bowl are completely clean and dry
	before use - a small amount of fat and egg yolk will affect
	whipping performance.

Bread dough	Add liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients. Use speed 1 to
	knead ingredients into a dough ball. DO NOT place hands near
	dough hook when mixer is operating.
