1. Close the bowl guard (G). See Figures 3 or 4. The safety guard must be
closed for the mixer to operate. If the safety guard is open or not closed
properly then the mixer will not operate.
2. Select the desired operating speed based on the ingredients. Use the speed
select lever (F) to set the speed. See Figures 7 or 8.
Speed 1 – Use for mixing heavy dough with an absorption ratio of 50% or
less.
Speed 2 – Use for mixing cakes, batters or heavy dough with an absorption
ratio of more than 50%.
Speed 3 – Used for mixing egg whites.
NOTE:
The moisture content of heavy dough is critical when selecting the proper
mixing speed. Do not use speed 2 when mixing heavy dough with an
absorption ratio of 50% or less.

When mixing dough check the “AR” (Absorption Ratio) = Water weight divided by flour weight.
The capacities listed above are based on 12% flour moisture at 70° F (21° C) water temperature. If high gluten flour is used reduce batch
size by 10%.
1 gallon of water = 8.3 lbs.
1 quart of water =2.1 lbs.
Example:
If a recipe calls for 5 lbs. of water and 10 lbs. of flour, then 5 divided by 10 = 0.50 x 100 =50% AR.
Do not use 2nd speed with mixtures with below 50% AR.
3. Once the speed has been selected, press the on/off button to start
the mixer. Or, select a time by pressing the time up button (D) or time
down button (D). Press the on/off button.
4. To change speeds, press the red button to stop the mixer. Once
the mixing attachment has stopped rotating then change the speed
using the speed control knob. Once the new desired speed has been
selected then press the on/off button to reactivate the mixer.
5. The mixer will stop and the timer will beep three times after the time
cycle has ended.
NOTE:
Turn the mixer off before switching from one speed to another. Failure to
stop the mixer before changing speeds may damage the gearbox and void
the warranty.
