The Cooks Professional 1200W Stand Mixer, Blender, and Mincer (Product Codes: G1183, G1184, G1185, G2880) is a versatile kitchen appliance designed for domestic use, offering a range of functions for food preparation. This multi-functional unit combines the capabilities of a stand mixer, a blender, and a mincer, making it suitable for various cooking and baking tasks.

Function Description:

The appliance serves three primary functions:

Stand Mixer: This function is ideal for mixing, beating, whisking, and kneading various ingredients. It comes with three interchangeable attachments:
- Flat Beater: Used for normal to heavy mixtures such as cakes, biscuits, creamed icing, quick breads, mashed potatoes, and pie pastry.
- Whisk: Designed for mixtures that require air incorporation, including eggs, egg whites, heavy cream, sponge cake, and mayonnaise.
- Dough Hook: Specifically for mixing and kneading yeast dough for breads, rolls, and buns. The stand mixer features a stainless-steel bowl and a clear splash guard to prevent splatters during operation. It also includes a countdown timer for precise mixing times, automatically stopping when the set time elapses or after 8 minutes if no specific time is set.
Blender: The blender function allows for blending fruits, vegetables, and other ingredients for cooking, as well as making iced drinks. It utilizes a 1500ml glass jug and is designed to process various consistencies, from liquids to thicker mixtures. The blender operates with a secure lid and splash guard.
Mincer: This attachment is used for mincing quality pork, lamb, or beef, suitable for making hamburgers, meat bases for dishes like bolognese and lasagne, and other recipes. It comes with three mincer plates (fine, medium, and coarse) to achieve different mince textures. The mincer includes a pusher to guide ingredients through the spiral drive.

Important Technical Specifications:

Power: 1200W, indicating a robust motor capable of handling demanding tasks.
Blender Jug Capacity: 1500ml (glass jar).
Speed Control: Features a 0-10 speed control dial, allowing for gradual adjustment from low to high speeds.
Pulse Function: A 'P' (Pulse) setting provides short bursts of power for combining mixes, batters, dough, mincing meat, and blending, offering greater control over food texture.
Timer: A countdown timer with a maximum setting of 15 minutes (minimum 1 minute), adjustable in one-minute intervals. The display shows the remaining time.
Attachments: Includes a flat beater, whisk, dough hook, mincer attachment with three plates, and a blender jug.
Safety Features: Equipped with a head tilt release button for easy attachment changes, a locking mechanism for the blender jug, and a design that prevents operation if attachments are not correctly fitted.

Speed Control Guide: A detailed guide helps users select appropriate speeds for different tasks, emphasizing starting at the lowest speed to prevent splashing.

Countdown Timer: Provides precision for recipes requiring specific mixing durations, enhancing consistency in results. The timer pauses if the mixer is turned off and resumes when restarted.
Safety Interlocks: The blender will not operate if the jug is not correctly fitted, and the mincer requires proper assembly before use.
Recipe Support: The manual includes sample dough recipes (Plain pasta, Wholemeal pasta, Herb pasta, Pasta verdi) to guide users in utilizing the stand mixer.
Overload Protection: Users are advised not to overload the appliance with food or use all attachments simultaneously to avoid straining the motor.
Hot Liquid Handling (Blender): Hot liquids should be allowed to cool to room temperature before blending to prevent damage.
