BOWLThe bowl is also used in all mixing operations.Rinsing your bowl with a vinegar or baking sodasolution will remove oils from the surface. Avoidusing sharp metal utensils or scouring padsas they could scratch or damage your bowl.To attach the bowl to the power unit, turn itcounterclockwise. To release the bowl, turn itclockwise.8. BOWL LIDThe bowl lid should be placed on the mixerwhen kneading large batches of dough. The lidhelps keep the dough mass down so that properkneading will occur. The lid opening can beused for adding ingredients or final amounts offlour to a dough mixture. Using the lid wheneveroperating the mixer will avoid spills or overflowof ingredients. To attach the lid to the bowl, turnit counterclockwise. To release the lid, turn itclockwise.More on the functionality of the control panel canbe found in the Operating Instructions.6. DRIVE SHAFTThe drive shaft is used in all mixing operations.The shaft fits into the low speed drive. To protectthe motor and gear assemblies, the drive shaft hasbeen designed to be the weakest link as poweris transferred from the motor to the dough hookor whisk assembly. This built-in, fail-safe designwill prevent serious gear or motor damage fromoccurring in the event that rotation of the doughhook or whisks becomes excessively difficult.Always adjust all non Mix n Blend II breadrecipes by using at least 15% less flour. Mostrecipes call for “excess” flour to accommodatekneading by hand.9. KNEADING ARMThe kneading arm provides a stationary barrierwhich pulls and folds the dough as the doughhook turns past the kneading arm. The kneadingarm is only used in conjunction with the doughhook.10. DOUGH HOOKThe dough hook is made of surgical stainless steelfor long life without tarnishing. DO NOT PLACETHE DOUGH HOOK ON THE DRIVE SHAFTUNLESS THE BOWL IS IN PLACE.The drive shaft is designed to break so as toprotect the motor and gear assembly if too muchflour is added. Foreign objects, such as spoons,measuring cups, etc., placed or dropped into thebowl can also break the drive shaft. The driveshaft is not included in the warranty.11. MEDIUM WHISK ASSEMBLYMedium whisks are single wire whisks used forthicker batters, heavier frosting, and cookie dough.If the dough cannot be stirred with a spoon, or ifit contains ingredients such as nuts or chocolatechips, then the dough hook and kneading armshould be used.7

french whisks are used for meringue, light frosting,whipped cream, pourable batters, and mashedpotatoes (potatoes must be thoroughly cooked).12. FRENCH WHISK ASSEMBLYFrench whisks are used for meringues, whippingcream, mashing potatoes, light frosting, andpourable batters. DO NOT USE WITH STIFFBATTERS OR COOKIE DOUGH.NOTE: Using the french whisks for cookieswill cause the whisk gear to fail and will voidthe warranty on that attachment.13. ACCESSORY RELEASE BUTTONAttachments can be released from the mixer bydepressing the release button found under thefront left corner.Medium whisks are used for denser dough, suchas cookies. Medium whisks are designed with asingle loop that lets dough through more easily.14. BLENDER JARThe blender jar has a total capacity of nearly twoquarts and has markings for cups and ounces. Theblade is made from high quality stainless steel.The dough hook is used for heavy doughs and isalways used in conjunction with the kneading arm.To assemble, place kneading arm over center ofmixing bowl with the arm in the 9 o’clock position.Place dough hook on top and turn in a clockwisedirection until it engages with drive shaft. Makesure kneading arm is NOT directly under the lidopening.15. BLENDER JAR LIDThe lid for the blender jar must be in place anytime the blender is in operation. The blender lidcan be easily removed by grasping one of thecorners and lifting up to release it from the jar.When blending hot liquids, the vented lid will allowpressure relief.
