the mixer  
G
Your mixer has been fitted with a ‘soft start’ feature to minimise  
spillage. However if the machine is switched on with a heavy  
mixture in the bowl such as bread dough, you may notice that the  
mixer takes a few seconds to reach the selected speed.

Never exceed the maximum capacities below - you will overload  
the machine.  
To protect the life of the machine always allow a rest of 20 minutes  
between loads.  
If you hear the machine labouring, switch off, remove half the dough  
and do each half separately.  
G

The ingredients mix best if you put the liquid in first.  
At intervals stop the machine and scrape the mixture off the dough  
hook.  
G
Different batches of flour vary considerably in the quantities of liquid  
required and the stickiness of the dough can have a marked effect  
on the load imposed on the machine. You are advised to keep the  
machine under observation whilst the dough is being mixed; the  
operation should take no longer than 5 minutes.

electronic speed sensor control  
Your mixer is fitted with an electronic speed sensor control that is  
designed to maintain the speed under different load conditions,  
such as when kneading bread dough or when eggs are added to a  
cake mix. You may therefore hear some variation in speed during  
the operation as the mixer adjusts to the load and speed selected -  
this is normal.
