Attachments
Your Stand Mixer comes with three mixing attachments, each is designed for a specific task.
Whisks (11)
Use the Whisk attachments for whisking eggs and cream. Don’t use the whisk for heavy mixtures (like fruit cake or cookie dough).
Beaters (12)
Use the Beaters for mixing cake mixes, cookie dough and creamed potatoes.
One of the Beaters is fitted with a Drive Plate (13) which helps the bowl rotate during use. This Beater also has a red band on the shaft. Ensure this Beater is fitted to the raised Socket (2) with the RED interior. Otherwise your stand mixer may not work correctly.
Note: Depending on the ingredients being mixed, the bowl may require some assistance to rotate. Manually turn the bowl to help incorporate the ingredients.
Dough Hook (14)
Use the Dough Hooks for pastry mixtures.
Dough Hooks need to be fitted correctly or they will not knead the dough. Ensure the Dough Hook with the flat end and the red band on the shaft is fitted to the raised Socket (2) with the RED interior.
The Dough Hooks are designed so they cannot be fitted incorrectly.
Not suitable for heavy dough.
