There should be adequate space around the mixer for the user to operate the controls and install and remove the stainless st el bowl. Holes are provided in the base to permanently secure the mixer, although this not necessary in normal installations. Floor models must be leveled front-to-back and side-to-side by sliding shims under the legs as required. OPERATION WARNING: KEEP HANDS, CLOTHING, AND UTENSILS AWAY FROM THE BEATER WHILE IN OPERATION. All models are furnished with a digital control panel (figure 1-11), which controls the main power and sets timer to the mixer. The GEAR SHIFT LEVER (figure 1-3) is used to change speeds. Always stop the mixer before changing speeds. To change speeds, first turn the switch OFF, move the gearshift lever to the desired speed, and turn the switch back ON. • Speed 1 (low) - This speed is for heavy mixtures such as bread dough, heavy batters, and potatoes. • Speed.2 (medium) - This speed is for light dough, 7 8 5 11 2 10--1------fl" - = ,,.,_ --tt 9 6-· Figure 1 which mu'st rise quickly, heavy batters, and some whipping operations. • Speed 3 (high) - This speed is fast (max.) for light work such as whipping cream, beating eggs, and mixing thin batters. 3 1

Place the agitator in the bowl, push it up on the agitator shaft, and turn it clockwise to seat the shaft pin in the slot of the agitator shaft. DOUGH ARM: Frequently used for heavy bread dough, and preferable to be used at the low speed. The moisture content of heavy dough is critical when selecting proper mixing speed. You should never use 2nd speed when mixing heavy dough with an Absorption Ratio (AR) of 50% or less. BEATER: Commonly used for thin batters, cake flour and mashing potatoes, like stuffing and preferable to be used at the middle speed. WIRE WHIP: Best for whipping cream and beating eggs and preferable to be used at the high speed. BOWL: Before using your new mixer's bowl (Figure 1-6) and agitators (beaters, whip, and dough arms) for your first time; wash them all thoroughly with hot water and a mild soap solution, rinsed with either _a mild soda or vinegar solution, and rinse thoroughly with clean water. This cleaning procedure should also be followed for bowls and agitators before whipping egg whites with or whole eggs. 4

install an attachment, loosen the thumbscrew (Figure 1-7) on the attachment hub and remove the hub cover plug (Figure 1-8). Insert the attachment into the attachment hub making certain that the square shank of the attachment is in the square driver of the mixer. Secure the attachment by tightening the thumbscrew. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's installation, operation, and safety instructions for the hub attachment Attachment hub should not be used while mixing.

The moisture content of heavy dough is a critical factor when selecting proper mixing speed. We recommend NOT to use 2nd speed when mixing heavy dough with an Absorption Ratio (AR) of 50% or less. To determine the Absorption Ratio (AR) of a product, divide the water weight by the flour weight. Example: Calculate the Absorption Ratio of a mixture containing 5 lbs. of water and 10 lbs. of flour. 5 + 10 = 0.50 = 50 % = AR PRODUCT TOOL BOWL CAPACITY: 20 QT - Eqq Whites ' Whip Mashed Potatoes Beater Mayonnaise (Qts.

DISCONNECTED FROM THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY. Never use a metal or stiff brush to clean the mixer. Never clean the mixer with a water hose or any fluid pressure. The mixer should be thoroughly cleaned daily. Bowls and agitators should be removed from the mixer and cleaned in a link. The transmission case and planetary mechanism should be inspected weekly for leaks, damage, etc. Should it become necessary to repack the ball bearings, an authorized service technician or the manufacturer should be contacted. Use of unknown grease or lubricants may lead to damage and void the mixer warranty. The bowl lift slideways (Figure 1-1) should be lubricated semi-annually, or more often under heavy usage. Disconnect the unit from the power supply before removing the top housing or apron. The safety guard should be inspected periodically for moisture or lubricant dripping. Remove the cup and wipe it with a soft cloth. CLEANING.: The mixer should be thoroughly cleaned daily. Bowls and agitators should be removed from the mixer and cleaned in a sink. DO NOT use a hose to clean the mixer - it should be washed with a clean damp cloth. The Safety Guard should be removed periodically and wiped clean. A large flat blade screwdriver may be used to remove the drip cup 7 12000 Biscayne Blvd. Ste 108 Miami, FL 33181 Tel: 786-600-4687 Fax:786-661-4100 5659 Royalmount Ave. Montreal, QC H4P2P9 Tel: 514-737-9701 Fax: 514-342-3854 [email protected] www.mvpgroupcorp.com
