To Use Your Stand Mixer

Place the required tool into the socket. Then push up and turn the tool to lock into position.
Note:
If the K-beater or Whisk are not picking up ingredients from the bottom of the bowl refer to the "Tool Adjustment" section.

Hints

The fold function can be used for folding light ingredients into heavier mixtures for example meringues, mousses, fruit fools, Genoese sponges and soufflés, and to slowly incorporate flour and fruit into cake mixtures. The mixer will operate at a constant slow speed.

Ensure that no bowl tools are fitted or stored in the bowl when using other outlets.
