[. . . ] Know your Kenwood kitchen machine safety L Read these instructions carefully and retain for future reference. L If the cord is damaged it must, for safety reasons, be replaced by KENWOOD or an authorised KENWOOD repairer. L Switch off and unplug before fitting or removing tools/ attachments, after use and before cleaning. L Keep your fingers away from moving parts and fitted attachments. [. . . ] Use cold ingredients for pastry unless your recipe states otherwise. When creaming fat and sugar for cake mixes, always use the fat at room temperature or soften it first. Your Kitchen Machine has been fitted with a `soft start' feature to minimise spillage. However if the machine is switched on with a heavy mixture in the bowl such as bread dough, you may notice that the mixer takes a few seconds to reach the selected speed. Electronic speed sensor control Your mixer is fitted with an electronic speed sensor control that is designed to maintain the speed under different load conditions, such as when kneading bread dough or when eggs are added to a cake mix. You may therefore hear some variation in speed during the operation as the mixer adjusts to the load and speed selected - this is normal. Important points for using your folding tool ?Do not use a high speed as a low speed is required to optimise the folding performance. The tool is not designed to be used to mix hot ingredients, allow the ingredients to cool before using the folding tool. For best results do not over whisk egg whites or cream ­ the folding tool will not be able to fold the mixture correctly if the whisked mix is too firm. Do not fold the mixture for too long as the air will be knocked out and the mix will be too loose. Any unmixed ingredients left on the paddle or sides of the bowl should be carefully folded in using a spatula. Never exceed the maximum capacities you will overload the machine. If you hear the machine labouring, switch off, remove half the dough and do each half separately. The ingredients mix best if you put the liquid in first. At intervals stop the machine and scrape the mixture off the dough hook. Different batches of flour vary considerably in the quantities of liquid required and the stickiness of the dough can have a marked effect on the load imposed on the machine. You are advised to keep the machine under observation whilst the dough is being mixed. These are a guide only and will vary depending upon the quantity of mix in the bowl and the ingredients being mixed. Creaming fat and sugar Adding eggs Max Max Min to speed 1 Min to speed 1 Whisk the eggs and sugar until they are thick, pale and creamy. When adding the flour, place it onto a sheet of grease proof paper, fold the side in to form a spout. Gradually add the flour into the mix using fold function. [. . . ] Cause Tool at the wrong height and needs adjusting. Speed control not in the `O' position. Kitchen Machine has been left plugged in for more than 30 minutes without being operated and has gone into Standby mode. Solution Adjust the height using a suitable spanner ­ see "Tool Adjustment" section. [. . . ]
