Hints and Tips
Beater
When creaming fat and sugar for
cake mixes, always use the fat at
room temperature or soften it first.
Switch off and scrape the bowl
with a spatula when necessary.
Use cold ingredients for pastry
unless your recipe states otherwise.
Dough hook
The ingredients mix best if you put
the liquid in first.
At intervals stop the machine and
scrape the mixture off the dough
hook.
A F
–
Flour
Different batches of flour vary
in the amount of liquid required.
The stickiness of the dough has
a direct effect on the load on the
machine. Keep the machine under
observation whilst the dough is
mixing.
Whisk
Important
Do not use the whisk for heavy
mixtures e.g. creaming fat and
sugar as you will damage it.
Best results achieved when eggs
are at room temperature.
Before whisking egg whites, make
sure there is no grease or egg yolk
on the whisk or the bowl.
Mayonnaise - for best results
scrape down the bowl after the
addition of the oil and run for a
further 10 secs at max speed.
Batter Mixes - add the flour to the
bowl first, then liquid and mix on
minimum speed to incorporate the
ingredients.
Electronic Speed Sensor
Control
Your mixer is fitted with an electronic
speed sensor control that is designed
to maintain the speed under different
load conditions, such as when kneading
bread dough or when eggs are added to
a cake mix.
You may therefore hear some variation
in speed during the operation as the
mixer adjusts to the load and speed
selected - this is normal.
