Operatingthe Mixer

The Breville Stand Mixer features Planetary Mixing Action, a similar mixing action used by commercial mixers in bakeries and patisseries for 360 degree beater-to-bowl coverage. This is achieved by the counter-clockwise motion of the mixer head combined with the clockwise sweep of the beater. The result is thoroughly mixed ingredients without the need for a rotating bowl.

1.Ensure the power cord is unplugged and the Speed Control Dial is in the 'OFF' position.

2.Assemble the Mixer with the desired attachment and the mixing bowl (containing ingredients as directed in the recipe).

3.Press the 'Tilt-Release' button and simultaneously use the Lift Assist Handle to lower the mixer head until it locks into the closed position. Attach the pouring shield, if desired.

4.Unwind the power cord completely and insert the power plug into a grounded wall outlet. The LED’s on the speed indicator will illuminate one-by-one all the way to the top, then turn off one-by-one. The LCD screen will display '0:00'.

NOTE:

If the Mixer has not been used for 3 minutes it will automatically enter power-saving standby mode. When in standby mode, the LCD screen will cease to illuminate.To re-activate the Mixer out of standby mode and begin mixing, turn the Speed Control Dial or press one of the 'Count Up/Down' timer arrows.

5.Rotate the Speed Control Dial clockwise. Always begin mixing on the lowest speed then gradually increase to the desired higher speed to prevent ingredients spattering.

The LED Speed Indicator is conveniently labeled with suggested mixing tasks for each speed setting. Use this in combination with the attachment guide, printed on the inner body of the Mixer (visible once the mixing bowl is removed).
