Hints

• The fold function  can be used for folding light ingredients into heavier mixtures for example meringues, mousses, fruit fools, Genoese sponges and soufflés, and to slowly incorporate flour and fruit into cake mixtures. The mixer will operate at a constant slow speed.
• Eggs at room temperature are best for whisking.
• Before whisking egg whites, make sure there is no grease or egg yolk on the whisk or bowl.
• Use cold ingredients for pastry unless your recipe states otherwise.
• When creaming fat and sugar for cake mixes, always use the fat at room temperature or soften it first.
• Your Kitchen Machine 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.

Important points for bread making

• Never exceed the maximum capacities -you will overload the machine.
• If you hear the machine labouring, switch off, remove half the dough and do each half separately.
• The ingredients mix best if you put the liquid in first.
• At intervals stop the machine and scrape the mixture off the dough hook.
• 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.

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.
