MIXING

Fig. 3
This section explains operation of the mixer and how to install
bowls and agitators.

BOWL

New mixer bowls and agitators (beaters, whips, spiral dough hook, ingredient chute and splash cover) should
be thoroughly washed with hot water and a mild soap solution, rinsed with either a mild soda or vinegar
solution, and thoroughly rinsed with clear water before being put into service. This cleaning procedure
should also be followed for bowls and agitators before whipping egg whites or whole eggs.
The bowl must be installed before the agitator. To install the bowl, fully lower the bowl support (Fig. 3).
60 quart Mixer - Position the bowl so two holes on bowl tabs are above the bowl pins on the bowl
support.

AGITATOr

To install an agitator (Fig. 4), the bowl must be installed and fully lowered. Place the agitator in the bowl, push
it up on the agitator shaft, and turn it clockwise to seat the shaft pin in the slot of the agitator shank.

ATTACHMENTS
To install an attachment, loosen the thumb screw on the attachment hub (Fig.1, page 4) and remove the
plug. Insert the attachment into the attachment hub making certain that the square shank of the attachment
is in the square driver of the mixer. Secure the attachment by tightening the thumb screw.
The meat and food chopper attachment must be operated in Speed 3 or lower. If material in the cylinder
stalls the mixer, stop the mixer at once. Do not attempt to restart the mixer in a lower speed-disconnect
electrical power, then remove the adjusting ring, knife, plate, and worm and clear the obstruction. This
attachment must not be used to chop bread crumbs.
Attachment hub must not be used while mixing product.
Close bowl guard/wire cage and raise bowl support to mix position, move the speed select knob to the
desired speed and start the mixer to operate the attachment. If bowl support is lowered off the mix position,
mixer will stop
