WIRE WHISK ADJUSTMENT
(Fig. 7)
The Wire Whisk may be adjusted to a lower position to reach a low level of ingredients in the bowl. Adjust as follows:
- Turn speed dial to 0.
- Unplug Mixer from electrical outlet.
- Press down release lever to tilt head back and lock in place.
- Remove the whisk from the shaft.
- Use a flat blade screwdriver to turn the adjustment set screw in the top of the whisk
- To raise the whisk in the bowl, lower the set screw by turning clockwise.
- To lower the whisk in the bowl, raise the set screw by turning counterclockwise.
- Reattach the whisk to the mixer shaft.
Be careful not to turn set screw too far down or up or it may fall out. Also, if turned too far down, the screw may obstruct attaching whisk to shaft. |
MIXING TIPS
- Observe the batter or dough in bowl while mixing.
Mix only until contents achieve the appearance called for in recipe, such as "smooth" or "creamy." - Follow recipe guidelines when adding nuts, raisins or candied fruits to a mixture.
Fold such solid ingredients into the bowl in the last few seconds of slow stirring (speed 1), when batter is sufficiently thick to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of baking pan. Dust sticky, candied fruits with flour for equal distribution throughout the batter. - If not using Splash Guard, mixtures containing large amounts of liquid ingredients should be initially mixed at lower speeds to avoid splashing. Once mixture thickens increase speed.
HOW TO USE THE MIXER FUNNEL
NOTE
Regular use of the Easy Pour Funnel accessory is highly recommended. The accessory inserts into the Mixer Funnel, is removable for convenient cleaning, and using it helps keep Mixer Funnel surfaces free of ingredient residue.
Using one ingredient at a time, slowly add into pour funnel.
Mixer can be operating at low speed when ingredients are being added as long as the Splash Guard is in place.
Gradually continue to add remaining ingredients through the pour funnel.
If you need to scrape down sides of bowl, first turn speed dial to 0 and raise up tilt head.
When pouring liquids through funnel make sure to place speed setting on 0 or low number to keep ingredients from splashing.
Course ingredients such as nuts, dried fruits, or morsels should be folded into the mixture at the final stage of mixing.
TIP: Lightly dust coarse ingredients with all-purpose flour to keep them from retreating to the bottom of the bowl.
Once all ingredients are well-combined, raise up tilt head and twist mixing bowl counterclockwise to remove bowl from clamping plate.
After finished using mixer, clean exterior surfaces by wiping with a damp cloth. Use dry cloth to wipe thoroughly free of moisture before putting mixer away.
CLEANING
Unplug Mixer before touching beaters or other accessories.
Failure to do so can result in broken bones, cuts or bruises
- Always unplug Mixer before cleaning. NEVER immerse Mixer in water. The exterior of the Mixer should only be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.
- Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads when cleaning Mixer.
- Always remove accessories before cleaning Mixer. If washing accessories by hand, rinse and dry completely. Most accessories and the glass bowl are dishwasher safe. Only place the bowl lid in the upper dishwasher rack. Only hand wash the Wire Whisk.
