USING THE BOWL LIFT
The mixer will not operate unless the bowl is in the "up" position. Raise the bowl by turning the bowl
lift handle (Figure 1 [20]) clockwise. To lower the bowl, turn the bowl lift handle counter-clockwise.
It is necessary to lower the bowl to change the agitator. This also makes the bowl accessible for filling.
TIMER AND START/STOP CONTROLS
This mixer will start only when the Swing Ring Safety Guard is closed, the bowl is in the raised
position and the timer is set or placed in the "HOLD" position. To start the mixer, first turn the timer
(Figure 1 [14]) to the desired mixing time then push the Green "Start" push-button (Figure 1 [18]). The
mixer will automatically stop when the timer has reached "0". To stop the mixer before the timer has
reached "0", push the red "Stop" push-button (Figure 1 [19]). The timer may be set for up to 15 minutes
or may be set to the "HOLD" position for continuous operation. When setting a time of less than 5
minutes, turn the timer beyond 5 minutes and then return it to the desired time.
Both the Start and Stop push-buttons are momentary contact type push-buttons. They prevent accidental
start-up in the event of power interruption.
NOTE: Although the motor shuts off instantly when the Swing Ring Safety Guard is opened, or the
bowl is lowered, or the "Stop" push-button is pushed, the agitator may NOT come to a complete stop for
several revolutions. DO NOT PUT HANDS OR UTENSILS INTO THE BOWL OR NEAR THE
BEATER HEAD SHAFT UNTIL IT HAS FULLY STOPPED.
NOTE: Do not operate the mixer without a bowl in place.
VARI-SPEED CONTROL
A major advantage of Univex mixers is there Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Unlike other
mixers, CVT lets you change speeds while the mixer is running. To change speeds move the speed
control lever (Figure 1 [15]) to the desired speed. The speed indicator label (Figure 1 [16]) shows four
speeds. Numerous intermediate speeds give the cook or baker tremendous flexibility.
Use speed "1" (slow) for heavy mixtures like pizza, bread or roll dough. Speed "1" should also be used
with the meat and food chopper attachment. For most mixing tasks, start on speed "1" and progress to
higher speeds as needed. Use high speeds for whipping cream and beating eggs, and thin batter. To
avoid damaging your mixer, follow the speed, volume limits and attachments recommendations
shown in the table of mixing capacities (Figure 4) on page 12.
If you notice any slippage during mixing, the mixer may be overloaded. Reduce the load, or reduce the
speed until the mixing action is smooth. Refer to the Trouble-Shooting Guide on page 10.
If the mixer jams and the motor stalls, immediately press the "Stop" push-button. Take necessary steps
to reduce the load. Never put hands in the bowl to clear a jam.
NOTE: Always return to speed "1" before shutting the mixer off. Do not move the speed control lever
when the mixer is not running, because this will cause the belt to become loose and the mixer will not
operate properly.
If the mixer has been shut off by the timer, or the "Stop" push-button in speed 2, 3 or 4, follow these
steps to avoid belt slippage or jerky start: Empty the bowl. Set the timer to "HOLD". Press the "Start"
push-button and as the mixer begins to operate, move the speed control lever back to speed "1". Press
the "Stop" push-button and return the timer to "0". Your mixer is now ready for use.
