Operating Instructions
General Operation:
- Ensure the mixer is correctly assembled with the desired attachments.
- Add ingredients to the mixing bowl or blender jug. Do not overfill.
- Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.
- Select the desired speed using the speed selector. Start at a low speed to prevent splashing, then gradually increase.
- For short bursts of maximum power, press and hold the Turbo button.
- When finished, switch the speed selector to '0' (off) and unplug the appliance.
- Press the eject button to release the attachments.
Mixing and Beating (with Beaters):
Use beaters for whipping cream, egg whites, mixing cake batters, and light doughs. Start at a low speed to incorporate ingredients, then increase as needed.
Kneading (with Dough Hooks):
Use dough hooks for heavier doughs like bread or pizza dough. Begin at a low speed to combine ingredients, then increase to a medium speed for kneading. Do not continuously operate for more than 5-7 minutes to prevent motor overheating.
Blending (with Blender Attachment):
Attach the blender jug to the designated port. Use for smoothies, sauces, and purees. Ensure the lid is securely in place before operating. Do not blend hot liquids.
Immersion Blending (with Immersion Blender Attachment):
Attach the immersion blender to the main unit. Use directly in pots or tall containers for soups, sauces, and baby food. Ensure the blade is fully submerged before starting. Avoid contact with the bottom of the pot to prevent scratching.
