USE

Fitting and changing the mixing and whisking tools

1.  Lift the upper section (1) by pressing the release

button (4) in and flipping the section up. You may lift

by the handle (2).

2.  Place the required mixing or whisking tools (10-12) in

the holes (6). Always use the same type of tool in

both holes. The tool equipped with two red plastic

couplings should be fitted to the hole on the left

marked with a red dot.

3.  Check that the tools are fitted correctly. You will hear

a click when they are pushed right in. You may need

to turn the tools slightly before they fit correctly.

4.  Press the release button in, lower the upper section

completely and check that it is locked firmly in the

lowest position.

5.  When the mixing or whisking tools are to be

removed, you must lift the upper section and press

the release button (3) on the handle. Then remove

the tools from the holes.

Fitting and changing the mixing bowl

1.  When the small mixing bowl is to be used, the

mixing bowl selector (9) must be in the position to

the left (seen from the front). When the large mixing

bowl is to be used, the mixing bowl selector must be

in the position to the right.

2.  Place the mixing bowl selector in the correct position

before the mixing bowl is fitted by pressing the

handle down slightly, turning it fully to the left or right

and releasing it so that it locks tight. The handle

must be locked tight when the mixer is in use.

3.  Lift the upper section as described in the section

‘Fitting and changing the mixing and whisking tools’

if this is necessary to be able to fit the bowl (if, for

example, tools are fitted to the upper section).

4.  Fit the bowl (8) by placing it on the base and turning

it clockwise until it is firmly in place.

5.  Release the bowl by turning it anti-clockwise until it

is loose on the base and then lift it off.

Operating the mixer

1.  The speed selector (5) is used to start and stop the

mixer and to select the speed. When the speed

selector is turned away from position 0 Off, the mixer

starts. The mixing or whisking tools begin to move,

and the mixing bowl rotates. Remember that the

mixing or whisking tools must be in the mixture in

the bowl before the mixer starts.

2.  The speed can be set to 12 different settings, where

1 is the slowest, and 12 the fastest. The speed can

be changed while the mixer is running.

3.  The mixer can be switched off by turning the speed

selector back to position 0 Off. The mixing and

whisking tools and mixing bowl stop.

Tips

The following suggestions for mixing speeds are for

guidance only. Always use common sense, and check

the mixture in the bowl regularly while the mixer is

running.

Speed

Use

1-3

Start for all whisking operations and for

mixing dough or minced meat as well as

mixtures of wet and dry ingredients

4-6

Mixing various sauces, mashed potato,

etc.

7-9

Mixing cake mixes

10-12

Whisking cream, egg whites, whole

eggs, etc. 

Also suitable for mixing butter and

sugar, etc.

• 

When whisking large quantities of ingredients, it may

be necessary to select a higher speed than normal.

• 

Lower the speed before adding flour, icing sugar or

similar to a mixture as the ingredients may otherwise

swirl around the area around the mixer due to the

high speed.

• 

Never use too high a speed when mixing a very

heavy mixture, e.g. white bread dough. If it is difficult

for the tools to turn in the mixture, reduce the speed,

and add a small amount of liquid, if required. If the

mixer cannot go round in the mixture, you should do

it manually, otherwise the motors in the mixer may

become overloaded.

• 

The mixer is supplied with two sets of whisks, one

light and one powerful, as well as a dough hook. The

light whisks (10) are used to whisk cream, egg

whites and similar, and the heavy whisks (11) are

used for mixing butter and sugar, whisking cake

mixes, etc. The dough hooks (12) are used for heavy

mixtures, e.g. white bread dough and minced meat.

• 

The mixing and whisking tools can be kept in the

mixing bowl on the mixer when they are not in use. If

you keep them in a kitchen drawer, make sure it is

high enough, otherwise the tools, the drawer or other

items in the drawer may be damaged.

CLEANING

• 

Wipe the mixer with a damp cloth.

• 

The mixing bowls and the mixing and whisking tools

can be washed in warm, soapy water and can also

be washed in a dishwasher.

• 

Do not use any kind of strong or abrasive cleaning

agent on the mixer or accessories. Never use a steel

brush or scrubbing brush to clean the mixer, as the

surface may be damaged.
