cooking temperature above 100°C (as this is the boiling point of water).
When adding ingredientsto the bowl during cooking, tur n the speed down and add the ingredientsslowly and
evenly.
Toheat sauces quickly use a continuous stir setting .
Youmay find changing the tool for different processes during your meal preparation gives better results e.g. use
the high temperatureflexible beater to fry vegetables and then the stirring tool whilst cooking pieces of meat or
poultry.
If using the splashguardduring cooking, always remove it before lifting the mixer head. Be aware of condensation
formed on the splashguardand heat shield.
When lifting the mixer head lift it slowly to allow any liquid on the underside of the heat shield to flow back into
the bowl.
Threestir functions are available which enable you to select the appropriate amount of stirring for individual
recipes.Some recipes will require constant stirring to stop ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the bowl,
whereasothers will benefit from intermittent stirring to maintain the consistency of the food.
For optimum performance adjust the tool heights see page8.
The maximum cooking time is 3 hours after which time the mixer will automatically switch off.
It is possible to heat food without a tool in position,however a speed must be selected. This may be
advantageous when melting foods e.g. butter,chocolate.
Each time the timer/temperatureselector button is pressed the display will alternate between displaying the
