Mixing Tips
For best mixing results, bowl will need to
be scraped occasionally throughout the
mixing process .
• Always read entire recipe and measure all
ingredients before beginning the mixing
process .
• For best results, add ingredients into the
bowl with the tilt back head locked in the
down position .
• For best results, do not measure flour
directly from the bag . Pour into a con-
tainer or bowl, scoop out the flour and
level with the back of a knife or spatula .
For flour stored in a container, stir before
measuring .
• Eggs, butter and cream cheese combine
more thoroughly at room temperature .
