SPEED CONTROL:
The kitchen mixer is fitted with an infinitely variable speed control switch ( h ) located on the side of the
mixer. The speed of mixing will be determined by the type of mixing arm fitted and the consistency of the
food being mixed. It may be necessary to change the speed during the course of mixing, if the properties of
the food being mixed changes. eg. when a liquid begins to thicken the speed must be reduced.
WARNING:
When mixing ingredients, it is important to to start with a slow speed and gradually increase the speed until
the desired mixing rate is achieved. It is important not to overburden the mixer by using an inappropriate
speed, which is too high for the foodstuffs being mixed. Failure to follow this procedure will damage the
mixer.
STARTING:
-Ensure the mixing head is secured in the lowered position and the handle ( e ) is in the vertical position.
-Check that all components are correctly fixed to the mixer and that all safety guards are in place.
-Set the speed control to the zero ‘o’ position (ref 3-1)
-Turn on the power switch ( i ).
-As you rotate the speed switch in a clockwise direction the mixing speed will increase.
-For low speed mixing and when using the Hook arm the switch sholud be set at the near vertical position
(ref 3-2)
-For medium speed mixing and when using the Paddle arm the switch should be rotated to aprox 45 deg.
(ref 3-3).
-For high speed mixing and when using the Whisk arm the switch should be rotated to the horizontal posi-
tion, or higher (ref 3-4)
