Helpful Hints
MIXING AND BAKING SUGGESTIONS
• Ingredients should be added to the mixing bowl as they are specified in the recipe.
When combining dry and wet ingredients, you may wish to moisten ingredients on
Speed 1 or 2, then turn to the desired mixing speed.
• Use the mixing speed that is recommended in the recipe. Use the handy mixing
guide on the speed control dial of the Mixer to help you find the correct speed
to use.
• If times are specified in the recipe, use them. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVER MIX.
Over mixing can cause the mixture to become very tough.
• Should an object, such as a spatula, fall into the bowl while the Mixer is operating,
turn the mixer OFF immediately. Then, remove the object.
• Remove beaters and place in sink for easy clean up.
• DO NOT exceed 3-1/2 cups of flour in any recipe as this will exceed the capacity
of several unit components and may cause the motor to overheat.
Breads
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING KNEADED BREADS
When making kneaded breads, your Mixer will require more care than when making
ordinary mixtures, such as cake batter and cookie dough. The elasticity of the bread
dough and the shape of the dough hooks may cause your Mixer to do some unusual
things.
The bowl may tend to rock back and forth. We suggest that you guide the outside of
the bowl with one hand to help control the rocking action. AVOID GETTING YOUR
HANDS TOO NEAR THE DOUGH HOOKS.
The kneading action may cause the Mixer to slide on a slippery work surface. Be
sure the work surface and rubber feet on the bottom of the Mixer are clean and dry.
CAUTION : DO NOT use the mixer too near the edge of a table or counter top,
where it could fall off.
