care, cleaning and storage
Make sure your mixer is switched off and unplugged from the mains supply
socket before cleaning, detaching or tting it to the mixer stand or before tting or
removing the beaters or dough hooks.
To make cleaning easier, clean your hand mixer and the beaters or dough hooks as soon

1. Set the speed selector to 0 (off) and unplug your hand mixer from the mains supply
socket.
2. Eject the beaters or dough hooks from your hand mixer by pressing the eject button.
The beaters or dough hooks are heavy and care should be taken not to let them fall
onto fragile surfaces or items when they are being ejected.
3. Wash the mixing bowl, beaters or dough hooks in warm soapy water. Alternatively,
wash them in a dishwasher.
4. Rinse and dry the beaters or dough hooks before storing or using again.
5. Wipe the base of the mixer stand and the body of the hand mixer with a soft, damp
cloth to clean. Never immerse the base or the hand mixer in water or any other
liquid.
Storage
Store your hand mixer in a clean, dry place, out of the reach of children, ensuring that all
the parts are dismantled.
hints and tips
1. Before starting, read the recipe completely.
2. Refrigerated ingredients, e.g. butter and eggs, should be at room temperature before
mixing begins. Set these ingredients out ahead of time. Cream is best when it is
whipped cold straight from the refrigerator.
3. Before starting your recipe, preheat the oven to the temperature recommended in the
recipe and gather all the ingredients and utensils near to the mixer.
4. Caster sugar is the preferred choice for cake making. Add it to the softened butter
and always cream until pale in colour.
5. To eliminate the possibility of shells or deteriorated/off eggs in your recipe, break
eggs into a separate container rst, then add to the mixture.
6. When mixing egg whites, be sure the bowls and beaters are thoroughly cleaned
and dried, as even the smallest amount of oil on beaters or bowl may cause the egg
whites not to aerate.
7. Always start mixing at slow speeds, especially when mixing in our or icing sugar.
Mix these ingredients slowly at rst, then gradually increase the speed as required.
8. Do not over beat. Be careful that you only mix/knead mixtures as recommended in
your recipe. Fold in dry ingredients until just combined. Always use the low speed.
At any stage of mixing, over beating can cause toughness, close texture, lack of
rising or excessive shrinkage. Climatic conditions, seasonal temperature changes,
temperature of ingredients and their texture variation from area to area all play a part
in the required mixing time and the results achieved.
9. All recipes have been kitchen tested, but should you nd it necessary to vary the
ingredients or size of the tin etc. allow for a variation in cooking time. Always ensure
that baked foods are correctly cooked before removing them from the oven or
cooking appliance.
10. If you don’t have a tin the same size as the recipe suggests here are some
alternatives: two 20cm sandwich tins, one 28 x 18cm tin, one 20 x 7cm round cake
tin or a standard loaf tin.
11. Cooking times and temperatures are meant only as a guide. Light mixtures should
spring back when lightly touched and heavy mixtures, fruit cake and the like, should
be tested with a skewer towards the end of the suggested cooking time. If the skewer
is clean when removed, the cake is cooked.

Symptom Possible cause
Sponge cake shrink Unbalanced ingredients, over beating of egg whites, sudden
changes of temperature or draught when taking from the oven.
Cakes do not rise Mostly due to gross over beating, but can also be caused by too hot
an oven during the rst part of cooking.
Cakes sink in the centre Too much fat, raising agent, liquid or sugar; too little our, under
cooking or slow cooking.
Cakes run over the edges Too much batter for size of pan, too cool an oven, too much sugar,
over beating, too much raising agent.
Hard outer crust Too much our, too little sugar, over mixing, too hot an oven.
Moist, sticky outside Too much sugar, over beating, under baking.
Coarse, crumbly texture Over beating, low baking temperature.
Heavy, close texture Too much fat or sugar, over mixing, under baking, or too hot an
oven.
Fruit sinks Mixture too soft, damp fruit, too little our, ingredients not correctly
balanced, over beating.
making dough
Preparing dough
1. Fit the dough hooks (don’t forget to t the hook with the red collar in the red recess).
2. Place the dry ingredients into the mixer bowl. Always keep dried yeast away from the
salt or your bread will fail to rise.
3. Turn the speed control switch to 1.
4. Begin to gradually add the liquid ingredients to the bowl.
Never attempt to feed the dough into the dough hooks with your hands or any other
utensil while the mixer is plugged into the supply socket or is in operation.
5. As the ingredients start to form a ball, scrape down the sides of the bowl if necessary
with the plastic spatula and remove your dough.
Always switch off and unplug the mixer rst. Do not use the mixer near the edge of
a work surface or table top because movement of the mixer during operation may
cause it to fall off.
6. After kneading place the dough into a large well greased mixing bowl. Place the bowl
in a warm, draft-free area and cover the bowl with a light damp cloth until the dough
doubles in size.
7. Plunge your st into the centre of the risen dough to remove the excess air. Fold the
outer edges into the centre and turn the dough out onto a lightly oured surface for
shaping.
8. Place the dough into tins for baking, or cut and shape the dough for making buns,
rolls, etc.
9. For the nal rising stage of the dough cover it with a light damp cloth and place it in a
warm, draft-free area until doubled in size again.
Finishing touches
• Sprinkle loaves or buns with sesame, poppy or caraway seeds before baking.
• Top loaves with shredded cheese during the last few minutes of baking.
• Glazes may be brushed over the dough at any time before, during or after baking.
• For a shiny crust, brush with cream or evaporated milk before baking.
• For a matt nish, brush with melted butter or margarine after baking.
