This document serves as an instruction manual for a Smeg stand mixer, specifically models SMF02, SMF03, and SMF13. It provides comprehensive guidance on the appliance's safety, description, usage, and maintenance.
The Smeg stand mixer is designed as a versatile kitchen appliance primarily for mixing, whipping, whisking, and kneading both solid and liquid ingredients to prepare a wide range of dishes. With the addition of optional accessories, its functionality extends to rolling out and cutting pasta into various shapes. The mixer operates with a planetary mixing action, where the accessories rotate around their own axis in the opposite direction to the mixer's rotary movement. This ensures thorough blending of all ingredients across the entire bowl, yielding excellent results for all preparations.
The mixer features a motor head, body, and a speed selector (3) that allows users to choose the most appropriate speed for their task. A head raising/lowering release button (4) facilitates easy access to the bowl and accessories. The lower attachment (5) is designed for standard accessories, while a front attachment hub (6) with a cover (7) accommodates optional accessories. The appliance includes a bowl base (8) and a bowl (9), which can vary in design and material depending on the model.
Standard accessories include an aluminium dough hook (11) for slowly combining, mixing, and kneading leavened doughs like bread, pasta, and pizza. An aluminium flat beater (12) is provided for combining, mixing, and starting all mixing procedures, ideal for cake batters, pastries, biscuits, and thicker mixes. A stainless-steel wire whisk (13) is used for beating, mixing, whisking, and whipping ingredients such as butter, egg whites, and cream, as well as preparing creams, custards, and sauces. Some models also include a flex edge beater (14) with flexible silicone edges for mixing doughs and soft batters, ensuring even consistency. A pouring shield (10) is available on some models to protect against splattering and to facilitate adding ingredients during use.
The appliance incorporates a safety lock system that automatically shuts off the mixer when the motor head is raised. It also features a Smooth Start System, which gradually increases speed upon startup to prevent damage to the appliance and accessories and to avoid ingredients from being ejected from the bowl.
Before first use, it is crucial to unpack the appliance, remove all packaging, and clean the body and head with a damp cloth. The bowl and standard accessories should be thoroughly washed and dried. The mixer must be plugged into an earthed three-pin socket, and extension cords or adapters should not be used.
To use the mixer, place it on a flat, stable, and dry surface. Press the release button (4) and raise the motor head (1). Insert the bowl (9) into its base (8) and turn it clockwise until it locks. Select the appropriate accessory for the task and insert it into the lower attachment (5), pushing it upwards and turning it anticlockwise until it locks into place. Ensure the bowl and accessory are correctly locked before operation. Add ingredients to the bowl, then lower the motor head (1) by pressing the release button (4). If using, position the pouring shield (10) with the opening facing outwards.
Always ensure the speed selector (3) is in the "O" (OFF) position before plugging the mixer into the power socket. Select the desired speed (3) to begin mixing. For increased safety, if power is disconnected (e.g., by raising the head or unplugging), the speed selector must be returned to the zero position before restarting.
General advice for optimal use includes never exceeding the maximum speed and capacity to prevent damage. Start at a low speed until ingredients are mixed, then gradually increase. Add ingredients to the edge of the bowl, not directly onto the moving accessory. Reduce speed when adding dry or liquid ingredients to prevent splattering. The pouring shield is recommended for liquid mixtures or when adding dry ingredients.
Specific tips are provided for various preparations:
A table of recommended speeds and maximum capacities is provided, serving as a guideline. The actual speed and capacity may vary depending on the accessory, mixture quantity, and ingredients.
Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for the appliance's longevity and safe operation. Before cleaning, always unplug the mixer and allow it to cool down. Never immerse the motor base (2) in water or other liquids. Splattered liquids or batters should be wiped off immediately with a soft, damp, cotton cloth.
The manual also includes a troubleshooting section for common issues such as the motor not starting, the head raising during operation, the appliance vibrating, accessories hitting the bowl, or the accessory struggling to turn. Solutions range from checking power connections and resetting the speed selector to contacting an authorised service centre for repairs or adjustments. If problems persist or other faults occur, users are advised to contact their local technical support centre.
