hints
●
Some recipes, in particular those with a high water content, will not be able to reach a
cooking temperature above 100°C (as this is the boiling point of water).
●
When adding ingredients to the bowl during cooking, turn the speed down and add the ingredients slowly and
evenly.
●
To heat sauces quickly use a continuous stir setting .
●
You may find changing the tool for different processes during your meal preparation gives better results e.g. use
the high temperature flexible beater to fry vegetables and then the stirring tool whilst cooking pieces of meat or
poultry.
●
If using the splashguard during cooking, always remove it before lifting the mixer head. Be aware of condensation
formed on the splashguard and heat shield.
●
When lifting the mixer head lift it slowly to allow any liquid on the underside of the heat shield to flow back into
the bowl.
●
Three stir functions are available which enable you to select the appropriate amount of stirring for individual
recipes. Some recipes will require constant stirring to stop ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the bowl,
whereas others will benefit from intermittent stirring to maintain the consistency of the food.
●
For optimum performance adjust the tool heights see page 8.
●
The maximum cooking time is 3 hours after which time the mixer will automatically switch off.
●
It is possible to heat food without a tool in position, however a speed must be selected. This may be
advantageous when melting foods e.g. butter, chocolate.
●
Each time the timer/temperature selector button is pressed the display will alternate between displaying the
cooking time and the temperature reached at that point.
High speed, high temperature whisk control
To whisk at high speed at temperatures above 60°C, turn the speed control to the desired whisking speed and
then press and hold the pulse button. This will be accompanied by a beeping sound and the speed and
temperature indicator lights will flash quickly. The whisking speed will slowly increase to the selected speed.
Repeat the procedure to increase the speed further. You can reduce the whisking speed or turn off the mixer as
normal.
This function MUST only be used with the whisk. You should not exceed the maximum
cooking capacity of 3 litres and you must ensure the splashguard is fitted. The machine
must not be left unattended.
after cooking
●
Be careful when handling or touching any part of the mixer when being used in the cook mode or after cooking,
IN PARTICULAR THE BOWL, SPLASHGUARD AND TOOLS as they will remain HOT long after the appliance has
been switched off. Use the handles to remove and carry the bowl. Use oven gloves when handling the hot bowl
and hot mixing tools.
●
The underside of the bowl will remain hot long after the heating has stopped. Use caution when handling and
use the work surface protection mat provided to protect heat sensitive surfaces.
