This document describes the Philips HR3740 and HR3741 hand mixers, designed for household use. These appliances are versatile tools for various baking and cooking tasks, offering multiple speed settings and specific attachments for different ingredients.
The Philips hand mixer is primarily used for mixing, whipping, and kneading ingredients. It features a motor unit with a power cord and a cord clip for organized storage. The mixer is equipped with a speed control dial, allowing users to select from five different speed settings (1-5), with '0' being the OFF position. For quick access to maximum power, a Turbo button (T) is available, which, when pressed and held, instantly boosts the speed. An eject button is also present to easily release the beaters or dough hooks after use.
The mixer unit has two holes for attaching accessories: Hole A is designed for beaters and dough hooks with a smaller gear ('a'), while Hole B accommodates beaters and dough hooks with a larger gear ('b'). This ensures proper fit and function of the different attachments.
The HR3740 model comes with two strip beaters, which are ideal for whipping egg whites, cream, and mixing cake batter, cookie dough, pancake batter, waffles, and puff pastries. The HR3741 model, on the other hand, includes two wire beaters, serving similar whipping and mixing purposes. Both models also come with two dough hooks, specifically designed for kneading yeast dough and pasta dough.
Before first use, all parts that come into contact with food should be thoroughly cleaned. When preparing to use the mixer, it is crucial to ensure that the voltage indicated on the bottom of the appliance matches the local power voltage.
To begin mixing, the beaters or dough hooks must be inserted into the mixer unit before connecting the appliance to the mains power. Once the attachments are securely in place, the mixer can be plugged in. For optimal and splash-free operation, users should lower the beaters into the ingredients before switching on the appliance.
When mixing, it is recommended to start at a low speed (speed 1) to prevent splashing, gradually increasing the speed as needed. For whipping tasks, such as egg whites or cream, speed 5 is recommended for the best results. The Turbo button can be engaged for a quick burst of maximum power when extra mixing intensity is required.
The appliance is designed to handle various quantities and processing times, as indicated in the user manual. It is important not to exceed these limits to ensure the longevity and safe operation of the mixer. For larger quantities or extended processing times, it is advised not to process more than one batch without interruption. The appliance should be allowed to cool down to room temperature before continuing with subsequent batches to prevent overheating.
When using dough hooks, the amount of liquid may need to be adjusted based on humidity and temperature conditions to achieve the desired dough consistency.
Proper maintenance is essential for the appliance's performance and lifespan. Before cleaning the mixer or releasing any accessories, the appliance must be switched off and disconnected from the mains power.
The motor unit, which houses the electrical components, should never be immersed in water or rinsed under the tap. Instead, it should be cleaned with a moist cloth.
The beaters and dough hooks, being detachable and food-contact parts, can be cleaned in warm water with some washing-up liquid or placed in a dishwasher.
For storage, the power cord can be conveniently wound around the heel of the appliance using the integrated cord clip. The mixer unit and its attachments should be stored in a dry place, away from direct sunlight or other heat sources, to protect them from damage and prolong their life.
The appliance is designed with safety in mind. It can be used by individuals with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or those lacking experience and knowledge, provided they receive supervision or instruction on safe use and understand the associated hazards. Children, however, should not play with the appliance and should be kept away from it and its cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons to avoid a hazard. The appliance complies with all standards regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF), ensuring safe use when handled properly according to the instructions.
At the end of its life, the product should not be disposed of with normal household waste. Instead, it should be handed in at an official collection point for recycling. This practice helps preserve the environment and prevents negative consequences for environmental and human health, aligning with country-specific rules for the separate collection of electrical and electronic products.
