3.1 Attaching and Detaching Accessories

To attach an accessory, align its bayonet fitting with the shaft on the motor head, push up, and twist counter-clockwise until it locks. To detach, push up and twist clockwise to release.

3.2 Speed Control and Pulse Function

The kitchen machine features a rotary knob with 6 speed settings and a Pulse function.

• Speeds 1-6: Adjust the knob to select the desired mixing speed. Lower speeds are suitable for gentle mixing and kneading, while higher speeds are ideal for whisking and aerating.
• Pulse Function: Turn the knob to the 'P' (Pulse) setting and hold it. The motor will operate at maximum speed as long as the knob is held in this position. This is useful for short bursts of power or for incorporating ingredients quickly.

3.3 Recommended Usage for Attachments

• Dough Hook: Ideal for kneading heavy doughs such as bread, pizza, or pasta dough. Use lower speeds (1-3) for kneading.
