Instructions for Use

Before First Use

Wash all of the attachments in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the hand mixer motor unit with a soft, damp cloth and allow to dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the mixer motor unit in water or any other liquid.

NOTE: When using the mixer for the first time, a slight odour may be emitted. This is normal and will soon subside. Allow for sufficient ventilation around the mixer.

Using the Hand Mixer

All attachments must be securely fitted before use; do not attempt to remove them until the attachment has stopped moving.

With the Whisk Attachments

WARNING: Max. operation time is 3 minutes. Allow to cool for 2 minutes before using the mixer again.

The whisk attachments are ideal for mixing light ingredients such as egg whites, cream and instant desserts. To avoid spillage, it is best to start slowly and build up to the required speed one setting at a time.

1. Before connecting the hand mixer to the mains power supply, carefully attach the whisk attachments onto the hand mixer by aligning the tabs and pushing in until they click into place.
2. Place the food to be whisked into a mixing jug or bowl, then plug in and switch on the hand mixer at the mains power supply.
3. With the whisk attachments secure, lower them into the mixing jug or bowl and then move the 5-speed selector switch to the desired speed setting.
4. Slowly move the hand mixer in a clockwise direction to avoid splashing. Once whisking is complete, move the 5-speed selector switch back to '0' to switch off the hand mixer.
5. After use, unplug the mixer and remove the whisk attachments by gently pulling them outwards whilst holding down the eject button. Do not press the eject button without holding the attachments, as they may drop.

NOTE: Whilst mixing liquid, especially hot liquid, use a tall container or whisk small quantities at a time to reduce spillage, splattering and the possibility of injury from scalding.

WARNING: Do not use the whisk attachment to blend very hot or boiling liquid, as this may cause injury. Switch off and unplug from the mains power supply before attempting to remove the whisk attachments and before cleaning.

With the Dough Hook Attachments

The dough hook attachments are ideal for mixing bread dough. Ensure that the dough is not too dry to ensure that the dough hooks can work correctly. Dough hooks work best on a lower speed setting.

1. Before connecting the hand mixer to the mains power supply, carefully attach the dough hook attachments onto the hand mixer by aligning the tabs and pushing in until they click into place.
2. Place the food to be kneaded into a mixing jug or bowl, then plug in and switch on the hand mixer at the mains power supply.
3. With the dough hook attachments secure, lower them into the mixing jug and then move the 5-speed selector switch to the desired speed setting.
4. Slowly move the hand mixer in a clockwise direction to avoid splashing. Once kneading is complete, move the 5-speed selector switch back to '0' to switch off the hand mixer.
5. After use, unplug the mixer and remove the dough hook attachments by gently pulling them outwards whilst holding down the eject button. Do not press the eject button without holding the attachments, as they may drop.

NOTE: Whilst mixing liquid, especially hot liquid, use a tall container or dough hook small quantities at a time to reduce spillage, splattering and the possibility of injury from scalding.

WARNING: Do not use the hand mixer attachment to blend very hot or boiling liquid, as this may cause injury. Switch off and unplug from the mains power supply before attempting to remove the dough hook attachments and before cleaning.

Turbo Button

The turbo button is located above the 5-speed selector switch. Press and hold this to activate the highest speed setting; it can also be used to activate a burst of increased mixing speed whilst a different mixing speed is active.

NOTE: The hand mixer must be switched on for the turbo button to be used. If the switch is set to '0', the turbo button will not activate.

Troubleshooting

Storage

Check that the hand mixer is cool, clean and dry before storing in a cool, dry place. Never wrap the cord tightly around the hand mixer; wrap it loosely to avoid causing damage.
