Operating Instructions

This section details how to use your HOWORK Stand Mixer for various tasks.

Speed Control and Attachments

• Dough Hook (Speeds 1-3): Use for kneading heavy mixtures such as bread dough, pizza dough, and pasta dough. Start at a low speed and gradually increase as the dough forms.
• Flat Beater (Speeds 2-4): Ideal for medium-heavy mixtures like cake batters, cookie dough, frostings, and mashed vegetables.
• Whisk (Speeds 5-6): Best for light mixtures such as whipping cream, egg whites, meringues, and light batters. Use higher speeds for maximum aeration.

Pulse Function (P)

The 'P' setting on the speed knob provides a pulse function, delivering short bursts of maximum power. This is useful for quickly incorporating ingredients or for tasks requiring intermittent mixing.

Tilt-Up Head Mechanism
