SPEED CONTROLS – MIXING/ATTACHMENTS
(These are recommended speeds. Adjust to performance as needed for your
recipe. For best results turn speed control slowly to the proper speed.)
Note: All three power outlets are engaged when power knob is engaged.
STIRRING
The stirring speed is for combining things such as the dry ingredients in
a cake, or the initial mixing of ingredients for bread dough. As a guide
when making bread dough, the ingredients should be mixed on STIR
for 45 seconds to 1 minute, and then the speed increased to 2 for
additional 3 to 4 minutes.
2-4 – MIXING
The mixing speeds are great for combining the ingredients to mix
items such as mashed potatoes; it also works great on batters that are
thin or mostly liquid. This speed is for the colander/sieve and high-
speed juice extractor attachments.
5-8 – BEATING
The beating speed is for finishing cake batter. This speed works with
the food grinder/stuffer and also the pasta maker.
9-12 – CREAMING
The creaming speed is for creaming shortening and sugar, for making
cookies or cakes, and frostings.
MAX – WHIPPING
The Whipping speed is for adding air to the mixture as in making
meringues or custards. The whipping speed is also for making whipped
cream. This speed can also be used for the
high-speed blender attachment.
PULSE
This feature is used with the high-speed
blender attachment. For a quick, controlled
pulsing job. Hold on “P”; this will operate
the blender on high-speed until released.
