Mixing Tips Cookie dough is one of the thickest doughs to mix. Make it easier by following these tips: • Use a large mixing bowl so that the ingredients spread out for easier mixing. • Have butter or margarine at room temperature. • Add ingredients one at a time and thoroughly mix after each addition. • Add flour one cup at a time. • To add chocolate chips or nuts to a very thick dough or batter, we recommend stirring them in by hand at the very end of the recipe. Parts and Features 1.
Using Your Mixer How to Assemble the Stand Mixer Before assembling the Mixer, make sure the speed control dial is in the OFF position and the electric cord is unplugged. Attaching the Turntable To assure the proper positioning of the mixing bowl with relation to the beaters, the turntable has two positions. Before adjusting the turntable, decide which bowl will be used. To adjust the turntable, remove it from the base.
Adding the Mixing Bowl When using the large bowl, the turntable should be placed in the off-center position, where the large bowl icon is located. Similarly, when using the small bowl, the turntable should be placed in the center position where the small bowl icon is located. Mixing bowls should NEVER be used in a conventional oven, microwave oven, on top of the range or on any other heated surface. If mixing bowls are scratched or chipped, do not use. Mixer bowl should not be used to blend in hot liquids.
Inserting Dough Hooks NOTE: The dough hooks must go into the correct sockets. The Mixer will operate with the dough hooks in the wrong position. However, you will not get proper kneading action and you could risk ruining a recipe. Read the following instructions carefully. 1. Make sure Mixer is unplugged and speed control dial is set to OFF. Lift Mixer head up and back to tilt it out of the way of the bowl, while holding it in an upright position. 2.
Operating Instructions ABOUT THE SPEED CONTROL DIAL The speed control dial is used for turning the Mixer ON and OFF and for selecting its 12 mixing speeds. Rotate the speed control dial in a clockwise direction to increase mixing speed; and in a counterclockwise direction to decrease mixing speed. As you rotate the speed control dial, notice that a numbered speed is aligned with the indicator on top of the Mixer head. This numbered speed indicates the speed at which the Mixer is operating.
Mixing Guide SPEED SETTING MIXING GUIDE EXAMPLE 1 Fold-Kneaded Use when mixing dry ingredients or when folding two portions of a recipe together, such as a beaten egg white into a batter. Use when directions call for LOW speed. Use for kneading bread. 2 Stir Use when stirring liquid ingredients or when gentle action is needed to moisten dry ingredients. 3 Blend Use when quick breads require a brisk action, just enough to blend ingredients but not enough to develop a smooth batter.
Caring For Your Mixer EJECTING THE BEATERS OR DOUGH HOOKS After you’ve finished mixing, turn the speed control dial to OFF and unplug the electric cord from the electrical outlet. Push the ejector button located beside the handle to remove beaters or dough hooks. Scrape excess batter off the beaters using a rubber or plastic spatula. Do not strike beaters on the rim of the bowl. Cleaning Your Mixer 1. Always turn off and unplug Mixer from electrical outlet before ejecting the attachments. 2.
