B Operation and Suggested Speed Settings
To begin, select which attachment is suitable for the ingredients you will mix. As a guide,
the three attachments can be used for the following functions:
Flat Mixing Paddle (for normal to heavy mixtures)
Stir, mix or beat - perfect for cakes, cookies, batters, pastry, icing/frosting
and mashed potato.
Chef’s Whisk (for mixtures that need air incorporating)
Ideal for whipping eggs, cream, meringues, cheesecakes and mousses.
Please note: Do not use the chef’s whisk for heavy mixtures (e.g. creaming
fat and sugar) - this may damage the attachment.
Dough Hook (for mixing and kneading doughs)
Ideal for bread, rolls, pizza and pasta.
WARNING: Always keep hands, hair, clothing spatulas and other kitchen utensils away
from the attachments during operation. Attachments will rotate at speed during use –
keep clear of moving parts.
Once you have fitted the appropriate attachment and lowered the mixer head, you will
need to choose a suitable speed setting for your recipe. Speed settings can vary due to a
number of factors such as quantity, temperature and consistency of ingredients. Please
see the below table as a general guide.
