- Adding Ingredients: Add your ingredients to the mixing bowl. For best results, add dry ingredients first, then wet ingredients.
- Power On: Plug the mixer into a suitable electrical outlet (220V).
- Select Speed: Turn the speed control knob to the desired setting. The mixer offers adjustable speed control with 2 main speed settings, allowing you to gradually increase or decrease speed as needed. Start at a low speed to prevent splashing, then increase as ingredients combine.
- Mixing: Allow the mixer to operate until ingredients are thoroughly combined or the desired consistency is achieved. The integrated LED light provides clear visibility of the mixing process.
- Using the PerfectRiseLid: For dough proofing, after mixing, remove the mixing accessory and cover the bowl with the PerfectRiseLid. This lid ensures optimal air circulation and humidity, preventing the dough surface from drying out while it rises.
