Thermo cut-off – temperature overload
The mixer is equipped with a self-resetting
safety device which safeguards against
overheating the motor with excessive
loads. If overheating occurs, the mixer
will automatically activate the overheating
protection device and switch itself off.
Switch the mixer off and unplug it from the
power point. Release the mixer head and
tilt it back until it is locked into the tilt back
position. Let the mixer rest for 30 min.
Electronic protection cut-out
If the mixing load is too heavy for
the selected speed and prevents the
attachment from rotating, the mixer will
cut-out to prevent damage to the unit.
Unplug the mixer and remove some of the
mixture from the bowl, working in batches.
Mixer head safety mechanism
The mixer head must be locked down or the
motor will not operate. If the mixer head is
tilted upwards during operation, the mixer
will automatically stop. This is a safety
mechanism to avoid injury.
Safety Mechanisms
Note: When using extremely heavy loads
the appliance should not be operated for
more than 3 minutes. This does not apply
to the recipes detailed in this booklet.
Please keep in mind that the various mixing tasks and related speeds, listed in the table
below, may vary slightly from recipe to recipe. Please refer to it regularly as you develop
your understanding of how different ingredients interact when mixing.

Hints & Tips
For most recipes, it is better to begin
your mixing on a slower speed until the
ingredients begin combining, then move
to the appropriate speed range for the
particular task.
Generally, there is not one set speed for
an entire recipe. You will need to change
the speed of the mixer depending on what
stage of the recipe you are working on. This
is communicated in the recipe section.
When mixing larger quantities you may
need to increase the mixer speed due to the
amount of mixing required and the larger
load on the machine.
When building up a recipe that requires
the addition of dry ingredients, such as
flour, slow the speed down whilst these
ingredients are being added to avoid a
snow storm effect. Once the additional
ingredients begin combining then slowly
increase to the appropriate speed for the
particular mixing task.
