Before using your MIXMASTER Hand Mixer
Using your MIXMASTER Hand Mixer
Before fitting the beaters, dough hooks or
balloon whisks, be sure the power cord is
unplugged from the power outlet and the
speed control switch is in the ‘OFF’ position.
1. Select the desired attachments, depending
on the mixing task to be performed:
• Beaters for creaming butter and sugar, plus
mixing cake mixes.
• Dough hooks for kneading dough and other
heavy mixtures.
1. With the speed control switch in the
‘OFF’ position, plug the power cord into a
230-240V AC power outlet.
2. Place the beaters, dough hooks or balloon
whisks into the bowl of ingredients to be
mixed and using the speed control switch
select the desired mixing speed.
Clearly marked instructions for correct
mixing speeds for each type of mixture are
shown in the mixing guide on page 5.
Tip: Always start mixing at slow speeds and
increase the speed gradually to prevent
ingredients splashing out of the mixing
bowl. When adding dry ingredients,
particularly flour, lower the speed to
prevent the ‘snow storm’ effect.
• Balloon whisks for whisking cream, egg
whites, light batters and sponges.
2. Inserting selected attachment;
Beaters:
Beaters can be inserted into either socket as
the beaters are identical.
3. Once you have finished mixing, turn the
speed switch to the ‘OFF’ position and
unplug the cord from the power outlet.
Dough hooks:
Take the dough hook – illustrated as dough
hook ( ). Insert dough hook ( ) into the left
hole on the underside of the mixer head.
Take the dough hook that is hooked at the
bottom – illustrated as dough hook ( ), and
insert it into the right hole.
Note: Be sure both dough hooks click firmly
in place, you may need to twist the dough
hook slightly to engage it in position prior to
pushing it in place.
4. To remove the beaters/dough hooks/balloon
whisks, place fingers loosely around the
spindles and press the eject button.
Note: Never eject the beaters, dough hooks
or balloon whisks when the Mixmaster

Mixing Tips
1.For even and thorough mixing, slowly guide
the beaters/dough hooks/balloon whisks
around the sides and through the centre
of the bowl in the same direction. Do not
overmix.
2. Always stop the mixer by moving the
speed control switch to the ‘OFF’ position
before raising the beaters/dough hooks/
balloon whisks out of the mixing bowl.
3. When adding ingredients or scraping the
bowl, stop the mixer and rest it on its base
with the bowl below the beaters/dough
hooks/balloon whisks to catch any mixture
draining from them.
4. When folding dry ingredients into delicate
mixtures such as sponge cake, use speed
1-2. Do not overmix.
Beating Egg Whites
Separate the yolk and white carefully
ensuring there is no yolk in the egg white.
If some egg yolk is in the egg white, use
the egg shell to scoop the yolk out. Even
the slightest amount of yolk will prevent the
whites beating.
Best results are achieved when using a glass
or stainless steel mixing bowl. If using a
plastic mixing bowl, rub the inside of the
bowl with ½ a lemon. (This helps remove any
grease.) Then wash and dry thoroughly.
For best result always ensure that the
beaters/balloon whisks and mixing bowl are
thoroughly clean and dry.
For maximum volume, beat egg whites at
room temperature.
5. Always start mixing at slow speeds.
Gradually increase to the recommended
speed as stated in the recipe.
Beat egg whites using 5-6 setting. Beating
time can vary depending on the freshness of
the eggs.

Mixing Tips continued
Whipping Cream
Thickened cream gives the best results.
by mixing on speed 2, then increase to speed
5-6 as the cream thickens.
If intending to use the cream for piping, add
approximately 2 teaspoons of icing sugar per
300ml of cream before mixing. This will help
the cream hold its shape.
For maximum volume use well chilled cream.
For best results, chill the bowl and beaters/
balloon whisks before whipping.
Use a deeper bowl to prevent splatter. Start

dishwasher.
Do not immerse the motor housing in
water or any other liquid. Do not use harsh
detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean the
motor housing as these will scratch and
damage the surface.
