important
• If the mixer head is raised during
operation, the machine will stop working
straight away. To re-start the mixer, lower
the mixer head, turn the speed switch to
the 'O' position, wait a few seconds and
then re-select the speed. The mixer should
resume operating straight away.
• Whenever the mixer head is raised the
'mixer ready indicator light' will go out.
When the head is lowered, the light will
illuminate indicating the mixer is ready to
use.
hints
• The fold function
folding light ingredients into heavier
mixtures for example meringues, mousses,
fruit fools, Genoese sponges and soufflés,
and to slowly incorporate flour and fruit
into cake mixtures. The mixer will operate
at a constant slow speed.
• To fully incorporate the ingredients stop
mixing and scrape down the bowl with the
spatula.
• Eggs at room temperature are best for
whisking.
• Before whisking egg whites, make sure
there is no grease or egg yolk on the
whisk or bowl.
• Use cold ingredients for pastry unless your
recipe states otherwise.

can be used for
• When creaming fat and sugar for cake
mixes, always use the fat at room
temperature or soften it first.
• Your Kitchen Machine 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 such as
bread dough, you may notice that the
mixer takes a few seconds to reach the
selected speed.
electronic speed sensor control
Your mixer is fitted with an electronic
speed sensor control that is designed to
maintain the speed under different load
conditions, such as when kneading bread
dough or when eggs are added to a
cake mix. You may therefore hear some
variation in speed during the operation as
the mixer adjusts to the load and speed
selected - this is normal.
important points for using
your folding tool
• Do not use a high speed as a low
speed is required to optimise the folding
performance.
• The tool is not designed to be used to mix
hot ingredients, allow the ingredients to
cool before using the folding tool.
• For best results do not over whisk egg
whites or cream – the folding tool will not
be able to fold the mixture correctly if the
whisked mix is too firm.
• Do not fold the mixture for too long as the
air will be knocked out and the mix will be
too loose. Stop once the mix is sufficiently
incorporated.
• Any unmixed ingredients left on the paddle
or sides of the bowl should be carefully
folded in using a spatula.
