NOTE:

Longer mixing times may be required for larger or double quantities.

Do not use the Scraper Beater for mixing heavy dough (bread, pizza etc) or whisking egg whites.

The above timings are to be used as a guide only.

When adding flour to the mixing bowl, always use splash guard and ensure the mixer is on the folding/kneading setting. This will prevent flour from escaping the bowl.

The Scraper Beater can also be used as a spatula when removing cake, biscuits or other mixtures form the mixing bowl (see Fig. 3).
