TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Problem:
The accessories knock
against the bottom of the bowl or are not
reaching the ingredients at the bottom of
the bowl.
Solution:
Adjust the height by doing the
following:
•
Detach the accessory.
•
Hold and loosen the nut as shown.
•
For ideal operation, the chef’s whisk
and flat mixing paddle should be
almost touching the bottom of
the bowl.
•
Raise the stand mixer head, hold the
accessory in place, and tighten.
2. Problem:
Your stand mixer has an
overload protection device and if
overloaded, it will shut down to protect
the motor.
Solution:
In the unlikely event that this
happens:
• Turn off and unplug the unit.
•
Reduce the load by removing some of
the ingredients, and allow the stand
mixer to stand for a few minutes.
•
Plug in and reset the speed. If the
stand mixer does not start when you
press the on button, allow the unit to
stand for additional time.
TIPS AND HINTS
• Before preheating the oven, adjust
shelves to accommodate your baking
task. Pies bake best when baked in the
lower third of the oven.
• Carefully follow each mixing step in a
recipe. Take care not to over- or under-
mix. Make use of the Countdown Timer
feature of the Cuisinart
®
Stand Mixer to
help with suggested mixing times.
• Don’t crowd the oven, and avoid opening
the oven door during baking – use the
oven light to help you watch. With certain
recipes, particularly cookies, when baking
more than one pan in the oven at a time,
rotate pans halfway through the baking
cycle.
• Proper measurements are very important
when baking. To measure flour correctly,
stir the flour first, then spoon into the
measuring cup. Level off the top with the
blunt side of a knife blade or the handle
of a spoon. Do not press or compact
flour. It is also very important not to
measure directly from the bag – while the
flour is pre-sifted, it has been pressed/
compacted to fit into the bag. Baked
goods made from unstirred flour are likely
to be heavy and dry because too much
flour is used.
• Remove butter from the refrigerator
and cut into ½-inch (1.25 cm) pieces to
help it come to room temperature while
measuring out the remaining ingredients –
this will hasten the softening process. Do
not warm butter in the microwave, which
can change the structure of the butter if
it melts and give the finished product a
different texture.
• To separate eggs for use in any recipe,
break them one at a time into a small
bowl. Gently remove the yolks, then
transfer the whites to a spotlessly clean
glass or stainless bowl. If a yolk breaks
into a white, use that egg for another
recipe. Just a drop of egg yolk in the
