Operating the mixer
Things to keep in mind
1. Always double-check that the agitator has fully engaged the locating pin on the agitator
drive shaft BEFORE switching on the machine.
2. Always match the mixing speed to the foodstuff being mixed. The general rule-of-thumb is that
the heavier and denser the ingredients, the slower the mixing speed.
3. It is usually easier, and safer, to fi ll the mixing bowl at the machine.
Standard operation
1. Fill the mixing bowl with the required ingredients.
2. Select and fit the correct agitator for the job.
3. Raise the mixer head by using the mixer head lift handle.
4. Place ingredients into bowl and then lower the mixer head.
5. Select the appropriate mixing speed using the speed selector.
6. Turn the machine on using the power switch.
7. When mixing is completed, switch off the power at the power switch, lift the
mixer head and either remove the bowl or remove the mixed contents of the bowl.
Changing or fitting an agitator
1. Make sure that the machine is switched off.
2. Grasp the agitator firmly and turn it clockwise to disengage the tool from the locating pin on the agitator
drive shaft. Draw the agitator down the drive shaft. If no agitator is fitted, go to Step 3.
3. Slide the selected agitator onto the drive shaft, lining up the channel on the top of the agitator shank with
the locating pin on the drive shaft.
4. Continue to slide the agitator up the drive shaft until the locator pin reaches the base of the “L” - shaped
slot in the shank. Turn the agitator anti-clockwise to lock the tool onto the shaft.
Sometimes the space between bottom of mixing agitator and bowl is too close and sometimes it is too wide
so adjusting the height of mixing agitator is necessary.
To adjust the height of the mixing agitator please follow the below directors –
A. Shut off power first,
B. Use a spanner to release the nut of the
mixing agitator,
C. Adjust the space to ensure the agitator sits
into the bowl at the correct position.
D. Tighten up the nut.
