Setup
Follow these steps for initial setup of your Globe GSM175 Spiral Dough Mixer:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the mixer from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Report any damage to the carrier immediately.
- Placement: Place the mixer on a dedicated, stable, and level surface. Ensure adequate clearance around the mixer for ventilation and operation. The mixer dimensions are approximately 39.4 x 60.6 x 62 inches.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the mixer's 10 1/2 foot power cord to a dedicated 208V/60Hz/23A electrical outlet. Ensure the circuit is properly protected and grounded. Consult a qualified electrician if unsure.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, thoroughly clean the stainless steel bowl, spiral hook, and any surfaces that will come into contact with food. Use a mild detergent and warm water, then rinse and dry completely.
Operating Instructions
The Globe GSM175 Spiral Dough Mixer is designed for efficient dough production. Follow these steps for operation:
- Loading Ingredients: Ensure the mixer is off and unplugged before loading ingredients into the stainless steel bowl. The mixer has a 175 lb dough capacity.
- Power On: Plug in the mixer and turn on the main power switch.
- Control Selection: Use the push-button controls to select either manual or automatic operation.
- Speed Selection: The mixer features two speeds. The reversible 1st speed bowl drive is ideal for mixing smaller batches or initial ingredient incorporation. The 2nd speed is for more intensive mixing.
