Introduction Introduction We are confident that you will be delighted with your PARAMOUNT MIXER, and it will become a most valued appliance in your commercial kitchen. A new mixer can seem very complex and confusing at first glance. To ensure you receive the utmost benefit from your new Paramount, there are two important things you can do.
Specifications Motor HP (0.25kW) powerful, ball bearing, ventilated within mixer enclosure. Electrical Supply 230-240 Volts AC, 50Hz, 1P+N+E. Transmission The gears are constantly mesh in a special lubricant assuring long life; transmission gears are of heat treated alloy steel, high accurate construction. All bearings are ball bearings. Positive timing belt drive eliminates slip and speed variation.
Installation Before installing the mixer, check that the available electrical supply match that of the mixer as stated on the mixer’s rating plate. Unpacking Immediately after unpacking the mixer, check it for possible shipping damage. If this machine is found to be damaged after unpacking, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within one day of delivery.
Operation Keep hands, clothing and utensils out of the bowl whilst the machine is in operation. Failure to follow the operation instructions or improper use of the mixer may result in damage to the mixer, or cause injury to the operator. Important: Great care must be taken to minimise dust emission when handling dry ingredients such as flour.

Operation Mixing Bowl / Agitators New mixers bowls and agitators (beaters, whip, and dough arms) should be thoroughly washed with hot water and mild soap solution, rinsed with either a mild soda or vinegar solution, and thoroughly rinsed with clean water BEFORE being put into service. This cleaning procedure should also be followed for bowls and agitators before whipping egg whites or whole eggs.

Operation Mixing Heavy Dough The moisture content of heavy dough is a critical factor when selecting proper mixing speed. Never use speed when mixing heavy dough with an Absorption Ratio (AR) of 50% or less. To determine the Absorption Ratio (AR) of a product, the water weight divide by the flour weight. Example: Calculate the Absorption Ratio of a mixture containing 5 lbs.
