PROPERTIES OF YOUR NEW HAND MIXER
Your new Design Hand Mixer Pro is intended for mixing beverages, sauces, and
soups, whisking cream and egg white, stirring runny batters (e.g. for pancake or
waffles), kneading light doughs (e.g. cake mixtures), as well as puréeing, chopping,
and mincing solid food (e.g. meat, onions, potatoes, carrots, apples). However,
please keep in mind that the Design Hand Mixer Pro cannot substitute all other kit-
chen utensils. The appliance is
NOT
suited for kneading very heavy dough (e.g.
heavy yeast dough, bread dough), extracting juices of fruit and vegetables, or grin-
ding very hard ingredients (e.g. nuts, kernels, hard chocolate).
SELECTING THE SPEED
Note
Speed selection is only possible with the wire tools (beaters, whisk, dough hooks).
When using the bar blender or chopping system, you cannot select a speed. Addi-
tionally, these accessories are agitated via the “Pulse” button with the speed selector
switched to the position “M” only. To avoid extra high risk of injuries, when using the
bar blender, the motor will only operate, while the “Pulse” button is pressed. When
using the wire tools (beater, whisk, dough hook), simply slide the speed selector to
the desired speed setting “1” to “5”. The suitable speed setting is determined by the
textures of the ingredients and the desired consistency (see the following table). To
use the pulse function you need to select a speed setting and, with the motor running,
press the “Pulse” button to make the motor turn with maximum speed, according to
speed selector setting “5” as long as you hold the button pressed. Please find some
guidelines for selecting the suitable speed setting in the following table.
The position “M” is intended for using the bar blender and chopper system only. For
achieving the optimal results when using these accessories, high speed of the blades
is crucial. Therefore, speed selection is not possible and the appliance will operate
at maximum power all the times.
