important points for bread making
•
Never exceed the maximum capacities -
you will overload the machine.
• If you hear the machine labouring,
switch off, remove half the dough and
do each half separately.
• The ingredients mix best if you put the
liquid in first.
• At intervals stop the machine and
scrape the mixture off the dough hook.
• Different batches of flour vary
considerably in the quantities of liquid
required and the stickiness of the dough
can have a marked effect on the load
imposed on the machine. You are
advised to keep the machine under
observation whilst the dough is being
mixed.
electronic speed sensor control
Your mixer is fitted with an electronic
speed sensor control that is designed
to maintain the speed under different
load conditions, such as when kneading
bread dough or when eggs are added
to a cake mix. You may therefore
hear some variation in speed during
the operation as the mixer adjusts to
the load and speed selected - this is
normal.
