OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the motor base on a flat, clean, dry countertop or table.

3. Select the desired attachments, which will depend on the mixing task to be performed: Beaters are used for mixing various ingredients, whipping egg white or cream. Dough hooks are used for kneading dough.
4. Insert the selected attachments into the corresponding sockets.
   The attachments shall be inserted in the specified position. For each set of attachment, there is one with a gear that can only be inserted into the bigger socket of the motor unit. The other attachment can only be inserted into the smaller socket of the motor unit.
   NOTE: Ensure beaters or dough hooks are fully inserted into place, otherwise the appliance will not work properly.
   NOTE: Do not use two different types of attachment at the same time.

STAND MIXER FUNCTION

COOKING TIPS

1. Refrigerated ingredients, i.e., butter and eggs, should be at room temperature before mixing in the Hand & Stand Mixer. Set these ingredients out ahead of time.
2. To avoid having eggshells in your recipe, break eggs into separate bowl first, then add them to the mixture in the Hand & Stand Mixer bowl.
3. Do not over-mix. Be careful to only mix/blend dough until recommended in the recipe. Fold dry ingredients only until just combined. Always use the low speed to start.
4. Different climate conditions and seasonal temperature changes affect the temperature of ingredients and their texture from area to area. All these play a part in the required mixing time.
5. Always start mixing at slow speeds. Gradually increase to the recommended speed as stated in the recipe.
6. When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, add small quantities at a time to reduce spillage.
7. Ingredients should be added to the mixing bowl as they are specified in the recipe.
8. Should an object, such as a spatula, fall into the bowl while the mixer is operating, turn the speed switch to the "0" setting immediately, then remove the object.
9. For easier clean-up remove beaters and rinse immediately with warm water.
10. If some ingredients are not mixed sufficiently, turn off the appliance and try to push the ingredients towards the middle of the bowl with a plastic spatula. Turn the unit on again to finish mixing.
11. If the quantity of ingredients to be mixed is very small, the Stand Mixer might not be able to mix them properly. In this case, please use the hand mixer.
