Standard Accessories
| Item | Description | Qty |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Flat Beater | 1 |
| 2 | Dough Hook | 1 |
| 3 | Wire Whip | 1 |
| 4 | Bowl | 1 |
Notes:
- Any agitator is easily installed by simply raising it onto the mixing axle, and rotating it clockwise on the shaft until it locks into place. To remove, raise the agitator on the shaft until it clears the lock and then rotate counter-clockwise and lower.
- All of the accessories are precisely fitted to the bowl, have rounded corners, and are easily removed for cleaning.
Unpacking the Equipment and Initial Setup
Carefully remove crating or packaging materials from the equipment. Models shipped on pallets are bolted to the pallet. Bolts must be removed to safely separate the equipment from the pallet. Place the equipment on a flat surface with sufficient space around the mixer to allow for safe cleaning and service.
This product must be hardwired; it does not plug into a standard wall outlet. Have a licensed electrician connect the unit to the power supply.
Installation:
- Read this manual in its entirety prior to installation and operation. DO NOT install if you do not understand everything in this manual.
- Select a location for the mixer keeping in mind that:
- Surface must be level
- Location should be accessible for maintenance and service
- Location should offer adequate clearance for installing and removing agitators, bowls or attachments
- Location offers sufficient space for adding ingredients to the mixer
- Make sure that the rear ventilation outlet of the mixer is not blocked
Operation Instructions
Please ensure that your power supply matches your machine. This mixer does not come with a plug and must be hard wired. Consult a professional Electrician for installation.
For changing the speed: Please stop machine first before changing speed in order to avoid damage to the gear box. Also make sure that the bowl is in fully lifted position and the guard is closed.
- Slow Speed is the middle, dough hook setting. The knob will be facing forward.
- Medium Speed is the bottom, flat beater setting. The knob will be straight down.
- High Speed is the top, whisk setting. The knob will be straight up.
Mixing: Always use the correct attachment for the job.
- A. Wire Whip: Suitable for mixing liquids and soft ingredients, can work in all speeds. Do not run for more than 15 minutes.
- B. Flat Beater: Suitable for mixing dry ingredients, can work in low & medium speeds only. Do not use in high speed. Do not run for more than 15 minutes.
- C. Dough Hook: Suitable for mixing dough, can work in low & medium speeds only. Do not use in high speed, do not run for more than 20 minutes. Absorption ratio must be more than 50%. Refer to mixer capacity chart.
Mixer Capacity Chart
| Product | Agitator and Speed | Maximum Bowl Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Bread and Roll Dough -60% AR | Dough Hook - 1st only | 50 lb. |
| Heavy Bread Dough -55% AR | Dough Hook - 1st only | 40 lb. |
| Pizza Dough, Thin -40% AR | Dough Hook - 1st only | 25 lb. |
| Pizza Dough, Medium -50% AR | Dough Hook - 1st only | 35 lb. |
| Pizza Dough, Thick -60% AR | Dough Hook - 1st only | 40 lb. |
| Raised Donut Dough -65% AR | Dough Hook - 1st and 2nd | 25 lb. |
| Mashed Potatoes | Flat Beater | 35 lb. |
| Waffle or Hot Cake Batter | Flat Beater | 20 qt. |
| Egg Whites | Wire Whisk | 2 qt. |
| Whipped Cream | Wire Whisk | 6 qt. |
| Cake Batter | Flat Beater | 35 lb. |
When mixing dough (pizza, bread or bagels), check your "AR" absorption ratio - water weight divided by flour weight. Above capacities based on 12% flour moisture at 70°F water temperature. If high gluten flour is used, reduce above dough batch size by 10%.
Example: If recipe calls for 5 lb. of water and 10 lb. of flour, then 5 divided by 10 = 0.50 x 100 = 50%AR.
- 2nd Speed should never be used on mixtures with less than 50% AR.
- Do not use attachments on hub while mixing.
When calculating the correct size mixer for your application, here are some helpful weights & measures:
- 8.3 lb. = 1 gallon of water
- 2.08 lb. = 1 Quart.
