Problem
Possible Solution
Unsure of whether
to use beaters or
dough hooks
• Use beaters for all mixing/whipping tasks.
• Use dough hooks only for preparation of yeast/
bread doughs.
• DO NOT use a dough hook with a beater-
this will damage your Kambrook Stand Mixer
Unsure of which speed
setting to use
• Use the mixing guide on page 12 to help select
correct mixing speed when preparing recipes.
• Begin mixing at lowest speed, then increase
to higher speed to prevent splattering.
Object has fallen into
the stand mixer bowl
• Should an object, such as a spoon or spatula, fall
into the bowl while mixing, immediately switch the
Stand Mixer OFF, turn off at the power outlet and
remove cord from the power outlet, then remove
object.
• If the Stand Mixer is damaged in any way, return
to a Kambrook Authorised Service Centre.
Over mixing
has occured
• Mix for the recommended time in the recipe
to avoid over mixing.
Egg whites are
not whipping
• Be sure beaters and bowls are completely clean
and dry before use - even a small amount
of fat will affect the whipping performance.
Bread dough is
not combining
• Some brands of flour absorb more liquid than
others, so additional amounts of liquid may need
to be added if the bread is not combining.
• DO NOT exceed speed setting 1 when kneading.
• DO NOT place hands near dough hooks
when mixer is operating.
The Stand Mixer is
shaking on the bench
while it is in use.
• Remove some of the contents from the bowl,
as the contents may be too heavy.
• The speed setting may be set too high for the
task; reduce the speed.
If batter is too firm
• Add more liquid to your batter.
Mixture is curdling after
the eggs have been
added
• Add eggs one at a time, beating well after
each addition.
• Make sure eggs are at room temperature.
Sugar crystals still
visible after creaming
• Continue to cream until sugar has dissolved,
or use caster sugar.
