HELPFUL HINTS • If necessary, switch unit off and scrape sides of bowl with spatula for best results. • Eggs at room temperature are best for whisking and beating. • Before whisking egg whites, make sure there is no grease or egg yolk on the whisk or bowl. • Use cold ingredients when making pastries unless recipe states otherwise. TROUBLESHOOTING - STANDARD ACCESSORIES (the "V" Beater, whip, and dough hook attachments are pre set at the factory, but they can be adjusted if necessary) • If the accessories (stainless steel whip or stainless steel V-beater) should knock against the bottom of the bowl or is not reaching the ingredients in the bottom of the bowl, you can adjust the height by: - Unplug stand mixer. - Raise the mixer head and insert the accessory. - Hold it, and loosen the nut as shown. - Lower the mixer head. - Adjust the height by turning the shaft. For ideal operation the stainless steel whip and stainless steel V-beater should be almost touching the bottom of the bowl. - Raise the head, hold the accessory in place and tighten the nut. • Your mixer is fitted with an overload protection device and will stop if overloaded to protect the machine. In the unlikely event this happens: - Switch off and unplug the mixer. - Remove some of the ingredients to reduce the load, and allow the mixer to stand for a few minutes. - Plug in and reselect the speed. If the mixer does not restart immediately allow to stand for additional time.
