Operating Instructions

Always ensure the mixer is unplugged before attaching or removing any accessories or the mixing bowl.

General Operation:

• Speed Control: Turn the speed control knob to select the desired speed from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest).
• Pulse Function: For short bursts of maximum power, turn the knob to the 'P' (Pulse) setting and hold. Release to stop.
• Overload Protection: If the mixer is overloaded, it may automatically shut off. Turn the speed knob to '0', unplug the unit, and allow it to cool down for 15-20 minutes before resuming use. Reduce the load if necessary.

Using Main Mixing Attachments:

• Dough Hook (Levels 1-4): Ideal for heavy mixtures like bread dough, pizza dough, and pasta dough. Start at a low speed and gradually increase as the dough forms.
• Flat Beater (Levels 2-6): Suitable for medium-heavy mixtures such as cake batter, cookie dough, mashed potatoes, and salads. Use lower speeds for initial mixing and higher speeds for creaming.
• Wire Whisk (Levels 6-10): Best for light mixtures requiring aeration, like whipping egg whites, cream, and making light sauces. Start at a medium speed and increase to high for maximum volume.

Using Specialized Attachments:

• Meat Grinder: Attach the meat grinder assembly to the front hub. Ensure meat is cut into small pieces and free of bones or excessive sinew. Use appropriate grinding plate. Turn on the mixer to a medium speed (e.g., Level 4-6) and feed meat into the hopper using the food pusher.
• Juice Blender: Attach the blender base to the top port of the mixer head. Place the glass jar onto the base and secure the lid. Add ingredients. Use speeds from Level 6-10 or the Pulse function for blending.
• Slicer & Shredder: Attach the slicer/shredder housing to the front hub. Insert the desired slicing or shredding cone. Turn on the mixer to a medium speed (e.g., Level 4-6) and feed ingredients through the chute using the food pusher.
• Pasta Maker: Attach the pasta maker assembly to the front hub. Select and insert the desired pasta disc. Prepare your pasta dough separately. Turn on the mixer to a low speed (e.g., Level 2-3) and feed small pieces of dough into the hopper.

Care and Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your COOKLEE Stand Mixer.

Cleaning:

• Before Cleaning: Always unplug the mixer from the power outlet before cleaning.
• Mixing Bowl and Attachments: The stainless steel mixing bowl, dough hook, flat beater, and wire whisk are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. For other attachments like the meat grinder components, blender jar, slicer/shredder parts, and pasta maker discs, hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots or corrosion.
• Mixer Base: Wipe the mixer base with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the mixer base in water or any other liquid. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may scratch the surface.
