If the appliance is overloaded or used continuously for an extended period, the motor may overheat and shut down. To resume operation, switch off the appliance, disconnect it from the power socket, and allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes. Once the motor has fully cooled, the appliance can be used again.

How to Operate

BEFORE USING THE STAND MIXER

Prior to assembling the appliance, ensure all packaging material is removed and disposed of safely.
Wash the Mixing Bowl, Beater, Dough Hook, and Whisk attachments thoroughly in warm soapy water using a soft cloth, then rinse and dry them.

USING THE STAND MIXER

Ensure the Speed Control is set to 0 before proceeding.
Note: Failure to set the Speed Control to 0 may trigger the appliance’s safety feature, preventing activation. Refer to the SPECIFIC WARNINGS if needed to start the appliance.
Press and hold the Tilt Button while lifting the Mixer Head. Release the tilt button to lock the head in place.

Place the Mixing Bowl into the grooves on the mixer’s base and turn clockwise to lock it securely. Ensure the bowl is firmly locked before proceeding.
Attach the Splash Guard directly to the Upper Body.
Select the Mixing Attachment suitable for your recipe.

Align the grooves on the attachment with the attachment shaft, then press the attachment in while turning anti-clockwise to lock it into place.
Add ingredients to the Mixing Bowl, avoiding overfilling. It is recommended not to exceed 1.2kg of ingredients at a time, and for dough kneading, maintain a mix of roughly 2 parts flour to 1 part water.
Press and hold the Tilt Button to unlock the Mixer Head and return it to the horizontal position. Release the tilt button to lock it into place.

Plug the power cord into the mains supply. This will illuminate the Speed Control and flash blue.
Turn the Speed Control clockwise to select a speed and start mixing. Start at a lower speed to prevent splattering, then adjust as needed. Refer to the MIXING GUIDE for recommended speeds.
To use the Pulse function, turn the Speed Control anti-clockwise from the off position, holding it in place for longer pulses.

Pause mixing periodically to scrape down the sides of the Mixing Bowl with a spatula.
When mixing is finished, return the Speed Control to the 0 position and unplug the appliance from the power supply.
Lift the Mixer Head as described earlier and remove the Attachment by pushing it in and rotating it clockwise.

Problem	Solution
Unsure on which attachment to use for mixture.	• Utilize the dough hook solely for preparing yeast or other bread doughs. • Use the whisk to aerate egg whites. • Employ the beater for all other mixing tasks.
Unsure on which speed setting to use for mixture.	• Refer to the MIXING GUIDE above for recommended speed settings for various mixtures. • Start mixing at the lowest speed and gradually increase to higher speeds to prevent splattering.
Over-mixing has occurred.	• Refer to the mixing guide above for recommended speed settings for various mixtures.
Eggwhites not whipping.	• Ensure that both the whisk and bowl are thoroughly clean, as even small amounts of fat may impact whipping performance.
Lumps in batter or dough.	• Sift the flours and sugar before mixing.
Bread dough is not combining.	• Some brands of flour may absorb more liquid than others, so additional liquid may be required. • Avoid using high speeds to knead dough.
The batter is too firm, and some ingredients are sticking to the sides of the bowl.	• Add more liquid to the batter and use a spatula to scrape anyfood mixture down the sides of the bowl.
Mixture is curdling after eggs have been added	• Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each one. • Make sure eggs are at room temperature before use.
Sugar crystals still visible after creaming	• Continue to cream until sugar has dissolved, or use caster sugar.
