egg yolk on the whisk or bowl.

G
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.  
G
Your mixer has been fitted with ‘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.  
points for bread making  
G
important  
Never exceed the maximum capacities stated - you will overload the  
machine.  
G
Some movement of the mixer head is normal when mixing heavy loads such as bread dough.  
G
The ingredients mix best if you put the liquid in first.  
G
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 6-8 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.  
to fit and use the splashguard  
1 Fit the bowl into the base and add the ingredients.  
2 Fit the tool then lower the mixer head  
3 Fit the splashguard onto the bowl by sliding the cut away  
section around the mixer head .  
4 To remove the splashguard reverse the above  
procedure.

During mixing, ingredients can be added  
directly to the bowl via the chute.
