Helpful Hints; Cleaning & Storage - West Bend HANDMIXERPLUS Instruction Manual

• Refrigerated ingredients, such as butter and eggs, should be at room temperature before
mixing begins. Set these ingredients out ahead of time.
• To eliminate the possibility of shells or rotten eggs in your recipe, break eggs into a
separate container first, then add them to the mixture.
• Always start mixing at a lower speed, and gradually increase to the recommended speed
as stated in the recipe.
• Do not over-mix. Only mix / blend for the maximum time recommended in your recipe.
Fold into dry ingredients only until just combined. Always use the low speed.
• Seasonal temperature changes and the temperature and texture of ingredients may vary
from area to area. These factors play a part in the required mixing time and the results
achieved.
NOTES:
• When kneading yeast dough, set the speed to a lower setting to achieve the best results.
• If using the mixer at high speed, do not exceed 1 minute of continuous operation, and allow
1 minute idle between two continuous cycles.
• If running the mixer with clean blades (i.e., no batter on the blades), do not exceed 15
seconds of continuous operation.
• The maximum continuous operating time per normal use should be less than 5 minutes,
and you should allow the mixer to remain idle for a minimum of 20 minutes
between two continuous cycles.
