important
Some movement of the mixer head is normal when mixing

heavy loads such as bread dough.
If the mixer head is raised during operation, the machine will stop working
G
straight away. To re-start the mixer, lower the mixer head, turn the speed
switch to the off position, wait a few seconds and then re-select the speed.
The mixer should resume operating straight away.
If for any reason power to the mixer is interrupted and the machine stops
G
working, turn the speed switch to the off position, wait a few seconds and
then re-select the speed. The mixer should resume operating straight away.
The mixer will not operate unless all the outlet covers are

G
some of the mixture or increase the speed.
Always remove attachments fitted to the medium and high speed outlets
G
before raising the mixer head.
hints

G Eggs at room temperature are best for whisking.
Before whisking egg whites, make sure there's no grease or

egg yolk on the whisk or bowl.
Use cold ingredients for pastry unless your recipe states otherwise.
G
When creaming fat and sugar for cake mixes, always use the fat at room
G

Your mixer has been fitted with a 'soft start' feature to minimise spillage.

However if the machine is switched on with a heavy mixture in the bowl

points for bread making
important
Never exceed the maximum capacities stated - you will overload the
G
machine.
Some movement of the mixer head is normal when mixing heavy loads such
G
as bread dough.
G The ingredients mix best if you put the liquid in first.
At intervals stop the machine and scrape the mixture off the dough hook.
G
Different batches of flour vary considerably in the quantities of liquid required
G
and the stickiness of the dough can have a marked effect on the load
imposed on the machine. You are advised to keep the machine under
observation whilst the dough is being mixed; the operation should take no
longer than 6-8 minutes.
