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.

STANDARD BOWL LIFT

The Handwheel is used to raise and lower the bowl on mixers with the standard bowl lift. Turn the Handwheel clockwise to raise the bowl or counterclockwise to lower it. Mixers equipped with Handwheel bowl lift device must be turned off to lower the bowl.

POWER BOWL LIFT (Optional)

CAUTION: Before lowering the bowl onto a bowl truck, always unlock both bowl clamps.

To raise the bowl and bowl support, move the switch lever clockwise to the RAISE position. To lower the bowl and bowl support, move the switch lever counterclockwise to the LOWER position. An overload slip clutch will ratchet at the top and bottom stop positions to signal end of travel and protect the operating mechanism.

In case of a power failure, the bowl may be raised or lowered manually. Remove the apron (secured by four thumb screws) and use a 1" open-end wrench to turn the lift screw hex in the desired direction.

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 under the 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.

If a bowl adapter is required, install it on the bowl support as you would the bowl and then install the bowl on the adapter.

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.
