thorough mixing. It virtually eliminates

the need to scrape the bowl by hand with a

spatula and cuts mixing time up to 60%.

Under-mixed batters produce poorly baked

results, resulting in collapsing, unevenness

of crumb, holes, low rising, streaking and

course textures. The scraper beater will help

to ensure a thoroughly mixed batter for your

favourite cakes, biscuits, frosting and more.

Before ﬁrst use

Before using your bench mixer for the ﬁrst

time, remove any packaging material and

promotional labels. Ensure the speed control

dial is in the OFF position, the mixer is

switched off at the power outlet and the

power cord is unplugged.

Remove the mixing bowl, beater, whisk and

dough hook and wash in warm soapy water

with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

The bowl and the attachments may be

washed in the dishwasher.

When ﬁrst using your bench mixer, you may

notice an odour coming from the motor.

This is normal and will dissipate with use.

Attaching the bowl

1. To remove or insert the mixing bowl,

the mixer motor head must be raised

and locked into the open position.

2. Place the mixer on a level, dry bench

top. The mixer motor head should be

in the horizontal (closed) position

when moving. Raise the mixer motor

head by pressing the RELEASE

button.

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION

3. Lift the mixer motor head up until it

tilts back and locks into the

open position.

4. Insert the mixing bowl into the bowl

locking recess of the mixer stand

and turn clockwise until the bowl

locks securely into place.

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION

Attaching mixing and whisking tools

1. Raise the motor head by pressing the

RELEASE button.

2. Align the groove in the top of the

mixing attachment with the locking

pin on the spindle extending down

3. Push the attachment upwards and

turn clockwise until it locks securely

onto the locking pin on the spindle

(see Fig. 1).

Fig. 1

4. Lower the mixer motor head by

pressing the RELEASE button and

gently lowering the mixer motor

head until it locks into the closed

position.

5. The splash guard can now be

assembled if required. Slide the main

ring into position on top of bowl,

then assemble the pour spout.

Operating the mixer

Planetary mixing action

By replicating a similar mixing action used

by commercial mixers in bakeries and

patisseries, the Scraper Mixer Pro head

rotates around the bowl while rotating

the beater in the opposite direction. This

ensures a superior and thorough mixing

result without the need for a rotating bowl.

1. Ensure the speed control dial is set

to the OFF position, plug the cord

into a 220–240V power outlet and

switch the power ON at the power

outlet. The illuminated LED speed

indicator band will ﬂash and the

count up/down timer will display

0:00. The mixer is now ready.

2. Add ingredients to the mixing bowl

as indicated in the recipe.

3. Always begin mixing by selecting

a low speed setting on the speed

control dial. Starting on a low speed

will prevent ingredients splattering.

Increase the speed as suited to the

mixing task. The speed setting can

be adjusted during operation. If

necessary, stop the mixer during

operation and scrape any food

mixture down the sides of the

mixing bowl with a spatula.

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION

4. If the mixer has not been used for

5 minutes it will automatically

change from STANDBY mode to

a power saving OFF mode and the

illuminated LED will switch off. To

exit OFF mode and begin mixing,

turn the dial to the selected speed

or press one of the count up/down

timer buttons.

5. Do not turn the mixer on with the

scraper beater in place if the mixing

bowl is empty. This will cause the

scraper beater to make a loud noise

as it scrapes the bowl.

6. When ingredients are in the mixing

bowl, the scraper beater may make

a slight noise as it scrapes the

sides and bottom of the bowl. This

is normal and should not cause

concern.

Count-up timer

The count-up timer is for gauging mixing

time. You can monitor the time it takes to

thoroughly mix the ingredients, so that the

next time you mix the same ingredients you

can set the count-down timer for the

speciﬁc time.

The count-up timer will automatically

begin counting up as soon as the dial is

rotated from OFF to one of the speeds.

When the dial is turned to PAUSE the total

time will be displayed on the LCD and will

ﬂash. When the dial is turned to OFF, the

LCD display will reset back to 0:00.

Count-down timer

The count-down timer is for any recipe that

speciﬁes the length of time ingredients

should be mixed. For example, if a recipe

reads, “beat for 3 minutes”.

To set the count-down timer, press the up or

down arrows until the desired mixing time is

displayed on the LCD screen. Press and hold

to scroll more quickly.

Rotate the dial to select the desired speed,

and begin mixing. When the timer has

ﬁnished counting down, it will beep. The

motor will automatically turn off and the

timer will ﬂash OFF.

The control dial must to be rotated to the

OFF position to reset the timer and to

continue mixing.

The maximum time displayed on the timer

is 60 minutes. The mixer will automatically

switch OFF at 60 minutes. The control dial

needs to be rotated to the OFF position to

reset the timer and to continue mixing.

Pause mode

While mixing, at any stage, you can rotate

the control dial to the PAUSE setting. This

will suspend the timer, and turn the motor

off. This enables you to assess the mixing

progress or add additional ingredients

without affecting the timer.

For example, if you are mixing using the

count-up timer mode, you can rotate the

control dial from one of the mixing speeds

to PAUSE. The mixer motor will stop and

the timer will pause.

Once ready, rotate the dial back to one of the

mixing speeds and the timer will continue to

count-up from the exact time it was paused.

Alternatively, if the mixer is on PAUSE, you

can reset the timer to 0:00 by rotating the

dial to OFF.

The PAUSE function can also be used in

the count-down timer mode. To continue

mixing, rotate the dial back into one of the

mixing speeds to allow the timer to continue

counting down.

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION

Using the scraper beater

• The scraper beater can be used for a

variety of mixing tasks. These include

creaming butter and sugar, pastry, cake

and biscuit doughs, batters, icing and

frosting. The scraper beater creates

a much more efﬁcient mixing action,

which means the mixing time of many

recipes will be reduced. Refer to the

chart below for approximate mixing

times for common mixing tasks.

• Longer mixing times may be required

for larger or double quantities.

• Do not use the scraper beater for mixing

heavy dough (bread, pizza etc) or

whisking egg whites.

• When adding ﬂour to the mixing bowl,

always use splash guard and ensure the

mixer is on the folding/kneading setting.

This will prevent ﬂour from escaping the

bowl.

• The scraper beater can also be used as a

spatula when removing cake, biscuits or

other mixtures from the mixing bowl.

Speed settings Use the mixing guide to select a suitable mixing speed when

preparing recipes. Begin mixing at lowest speed then increase to

higher speed to prevent splattering.

Mixing Mix for the recommended time in the recipe – avoid over mixing.

Should an object such as a spoon or spatula fall into the bowl

while mixing, immediately turn the mixer off, unplug at the power

outlet and remove the object.

Egg white Be sure the whisk and bowl are completely clean and dry

before use – a small amount of fat or egg yolk will affect

whipping performance.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Motor head safety cut-off

The mixer is equipped with a motor head

safety cut-off. If the mixer head is lifted up at

any time while the mixer motor is switched

on, the safety cut-off will automatically

switch the motor off and set the mixer into

standby mode.

To restart the motor within 5 minutes, lower

the mixer head into the horizontal (closed)

position, and turn the dial away then back to

the required speed setting. This will resume

mixing and the timer will resume counting.

To restart the motor after 5 minutes or more,

lower the mixer head and turn the dial to

OFF then back to the required speed. The

timer will start from 0.

To turn the mixer off (instead of restarting),

turn the dial to OFF, and unplug from the

wall.

Electronic protection cut-off

(current overload)

The mixer is equipped with an electric

protection cut-off and will automatically

stop operating if the motor is stalled or

overloaded. This is normally a result of

excessive ingredients being processed at

one time. Should the mixer go into this

mode, the LED indicator band will ﬂash and

the error message “E1” will ﬂash on the LCD

screen and the buzzer will “beep” 3 times.

If this error occurs, turn the speed control

dial to the OFF position, switch the

appliance off at the power outlet and unplug

the cord. Remove some of the ingredients in

the mixing bowl and then restart the mixer.

Thermo protection cut-off

(temperature overload)

The mixer is equipped with a self-resetting

safety device which safeguards against

overheating the motor with excessive

loads. If overheating occurs, the mixer will

automatically activate the overheating

protection device and the motor will switch

itself off. Should the mixer go into this

mode, the LED indicator band will ﬂash and

the error message “E2” will ﬂash on the LCD

screen and the buzzer will “beep” 3 times.

If this error occurs, turn the speed control

dial to the ‘OFF’ position, switch the

appliance off at the power outlet and unplug

the cord. Wait at least 15 minutes before

restarting the mixer.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM EASY SOLUTION

Machine will

not work when

switched ON

• Always ensure the speed control dial is in the OFF position

before start.

• The temperature overload protection (thermo cut-off) device

has not been activated automatically, allow more time for the

motor to cool down.

Cannot set the

time on the

count-down timer

• Always ensure the speed control dial is in the OFF position

before trying to set the count-down time.

Mixer suddenly

switches off during

mixing

• The mixer has been stressed by overloading or stalling. The

mixer will automatically activate the overload protection

button and the unit will switch itself off. If this happens,

switch the mixer off at the outlet and unplug it for at least 15

minutes. The overload protection device will reset, and the

mixer will be ready to use again when it powers back into

standby mode.

“E1” error message

is ﬂashing on the

count-up/down

timer display

• The mixer will automatically stop operating if the motor is

stalled. If this occurs, the ‘E1’ error message will ﬂash on the

count-up/down timer display. This is an electronic safety

feature. This is normally a result of too much ingredients

being processed at one time. Try removing some of the

ingredients from the bowl. To continue mixing, turn the speed

control dial to the off position and unplug the mixer from the

power outlet. Then plug the mixer into the power outlet and

use as normal.

“E2” error message

is ﬂashing on the

count-up/down

timer display

• This may indicate that the motor has been stressed by

overheating with excessive load. The mixer is ﬁtted with a self-

resetting safety device which safeguards against overheating

on the motor with excessive loads. If overheating occurs, the

mixer will automatically activate the overheating protection

device and the motor will switch itself off. When the

overheating protection is activated, unplug the mixer from the

power outlet for at least 15 minutes to allow the unit to cool.

Turn the speed control dial to the OFF position then plug the

mixer into the power outlet and use as normal.

Noise is heard

when scraper

beater is mixing

• When ingredients are in the mixing bowl, the scraper beater

may make a slight noise as it scrapes the sides and bottom

of the bowl. This is normal and should not cause concern. Do

not turn the mixer on with the scraper beater in place if the

mixing bowl is empty. This will cause the scraper beater to

make a loud noise as it scrapes the bowl.

BREAD - RECOMMENDATIONS

Hints & tips for better bread-making

• Do check the ingredients and read the

recipe before starting to bake.

• Do measure ingredients accurately

— weighed measurements are more

accurate than volume measurements.

• Do use bread ﬂour unless recipe

states otherwise.

• Do check use-by-dates on ingredients.

• Do add ingredients in the order stated in

the recipe.

• Do store opened ingredients in

airtight containers.

• Do use ingredients at room temperature.

• Don’t use ﬂour that contains a protein

level of less than 11%.

• Don’t use tableware cups, jugs or spoons

for measuring.

• Don’t use hot water or liquids.

• Don’t use self-raising ﬂour to

make yeasted bread unless recipe

states otherwise.

• In high altitude areas above 900m,

lower air pressure causes the dough to

rise faster. Try reducing yeast by 1/4

teaspoon.

• If the weather is hot and humid, reduce

the yeast by ¼ teaspoon to avoid over

rising of the dough.

• Flour properties can alter on a seasonal

or storage basis, so it may be necessary

to adjust the water and ﬂour ratio. If the

dough is too sticky, add extra ﬂour 1

tablespoon at a time if the dough is too

dry add extra water 1 teaspoon at a time.

A few minutes is needed for these extra

ingredients to be absorbed. Dough with

the correct amount of ﬂour and water

should form into a smooth, round ball

that is damp to the touch but not sticky.

Sponging yeast

• Instant active dried yeast is used in the

recipes in this book however fresh or

compressed yeast can be substituted, if

required, for speciﬁc ﬂavour or religious

dietary requirements.

• Fresh or compressed yeast needs to be

‘sponged’ (fermentation started) before

adding to the other ingredients.

• To substitute, use three times the

amount of fresh or compressed yeast for

the amount of dry yeast in a recipe.

• To sponge the yeast: Place the quantity

of fresh compressed yeast in the

quantity of (warmed) water from the

recipe together with 1 teaspoon sugar

and 1 teaspoon ﬂour into a clean glass

bowl, stir to dissolve and cover with

plastic wrap. Allow to stand in a warm

area (30ºC) for about 30 minutes or

until the mixture starts to bubble and

froth. This mixture should be used

without delay.

Warm area for rising

• Yeast, either when sponging or in the

dough, requires warmth to rise.

• To create a ‘warm area’ for dough to rise,

place baking tray over a bowl of fairly

warm water, place prepared dough item

on baking tray, cover loosely with lightly

greased thicker-style plastic wrap or a

tea towel. Ensure kitchen is warm and

free of draughts. Allow the dough to rise

until doubled in size.

CARE, CLEANING & STORAGE

Motor head and mixer base

Do not wash or immerse the mixer motor head

or mixer base in water. Do not allow water or

other liquids to enter the gear system, as this

may result in damage.

Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth then dry

thoroughly. Wipe any excess food particles

from the power cord.

Cleaning agents

Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners

on the mixing bowl, ﬂat beater, dough hook

or whisk, as they may scratch the surface. Use

only warm soapy water with a soft cloth.

Also do not soak attachments for extended

periods of time, for example several hours or

overnight, as this may damage the ﬁnish.

Bowl and attachments

Wash the bowl and attachments (beater,

scraper beater, whisk and dough hook) with

warm soapy water and a soft cloth or a soft

bristled brush. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Avoid abrasive scouring pads or cleaners, as

they may damage the surfaces..

BREAD - THE VITAL INGREDIENTS

Vital ingredients for bread-making

Flour is the most important ingredient used

for bread making. It provides food for the

yeast and gives structure to the loaf. When

mixed with liquid, the protein in the ﬂour

starts to form gluten. Gluten is a network

of elastic strands that interlock to trap

the gases produced by yeast. This process

increases as the dough continues

kneading and provides the structure

required to produce the weight and shape

of the baked bread.

White wheat ﬂour sold as baker’s, bread or

plain ﬂour may be used. Plain ﬂour is most

readily available, however, best results are

obtained with ﬂour at least 11% protein

content. For this reason, the recipes in this

book requiring bread ﬂour have been made

using ﬂour with 11% protein content. This

is normally indicated on the packaging. Do

not sift the ﬂour or use self-raising ﬂour for

bread making unless indicated in the recipe.

When using a low-protein, plain, stone

ground or wholemeal ﬂour the quality of the

bread can be improved by adding gluten

ﬂour.

There are several brands of bread or

bakers ﬂour available nationally at larger

supermarkets. It is a high protein, white

bread ﬂour, with 11% protein.

Wholemeal wheat ﬂour contains the bran,

germ and ﬂour of the wheat grain. Although

breads baked with this type of ﬂour will

be higher in ﬁbre, the loaf may be heavier

in texture. Lighter textured bread can be

achieved by replacing 160g of wholemeal

ﬂour with white bread ﬂour.

Rye ﬂour, popular for bread making, is low

in protein so it is essential to combine rye

ﬂour with bread ﬂour to make the bread rise

successfully. Rye ﬂour is traditionally used

to make the heavy, dense Pumpernickel and

Black Breads.

Gluten ﬂour is made by extracting the

gluten portion from the wheat grain. Adding

gluten ﬂour can improve the structure and

quality of bread when using low-protein,

plain, stone ground and whole meal ﬂour.

Bread mixes contain ﬂour, sugar, milk, salt,

oil and other ingredients such as bread

improver. Usually only the addition of water

and yeast is required.

Bread improvers are available nationally in

supermarkets and health food stores. The

ingredients in a bread improver are usually

a food acid such as ascorbic acid (Vitamin

C) and other enzymes (amylases) extracted

from wheat ﬂours. Adding a bread improver

will help strengthen the dough resulting

in a loaf that is higher in volume, softer in

texture, more stable and has improved shelf

life qualities. A simple bread improver can

be a crushed unﬂavoured vitamin C tablet

added to the dry ingredients.

Sugar provides sweetness and ﬂavour,

browns the crust and produces food for

the yeast. White sugar, brown sugar, honey

and golden syrup are all suitable to use.

When using honey or golden syrup it must

be counted as additional liquid. We have

successfully tested granular ‘Splenda’ brand

low calorie sweetener as a sugar substitute.

Powdered milk and milk products enhance

the ﬂavour and increase the nutritional value

of bread. Powdered milk is convenient and

easy to use (store in an airtight container in

the refrigerator).

Low fat or skim milk powder can be used

with good results. Soy milk powder can also

be used but produces a denser loaf. Fresh

milk should not be substituted unless stated

in the recipe.

BREAD - THE VITAL INGREDIENTS

Salt is an important ingredient in bread

making. In the dough, salt increases water

absorption, improves kneading, strengthens

the gluten development and controls

fermentation of the yeast which results in

improved loaf shape, crumb structure, crust

colour, ﬂavour and keeping qualities. As salt

inhibits the rising of bread be accurate

when measuring.

Fat adds ﬂavour and retains the moisture.

Vegetable oils such as safﬂower, sunﬂower,

canola, etc. can be used. Butter or margarine

can be substituted for oil in recipes but may

give a yellow coloured crumb.

Yeast is used as the raising agent for the

breads and requires liquid, sugar and

warmth to grow and rise. Dried yeast has

been used in the recipes in this instruction

book where appropriate. Before using

dried yeast always check the use by date,

as stale yeast will prevent the bread from

rising. ‘Tandaco’ brand yeast (available

nationally in most supermarkets) was used

in the development of all yeasted recipes

contained in this book. Smaller packets of

bread mix usually contain sachets of yeast.

Larger bulk bags of bread mix usually do

not include the yeast sachets, however

the corresponding brand of yeast may be

purchased separately.

Some bulk and imported yeasts are more

active, therefore it is recommended to use

less of these yeasts. Yeast may also be more

active in hot weather. For information on

other brands of yeast relating to quantities

contact the manufacturer listed on

the package.

Rapid rise yeast is a mixture of yeast and

bread improver. Brands will vary in strength.

If wishing to substitute for yeast in a recipe,

omit the bread improver. Rapid rise yeasts

should not be used with bread mix as bread

improver is already included.

Water from the tap is used in all bread

recipes. If using water in cold climates or

from the refrigerator, allow water to come to

room temperature. Extremes of hot or cold

water will prevent the yeast activating.

Eggs can be used in some bread recipes

and provide liquid, aid rising and increase

the nutritional value of the bread. They add

ﬂavour and softness to the crumb and are

usually used in sweeter types of bread.

Other ingredients such as fruit, nuts,

chocolate chips, etc., required to remain

whole in the baked bread, should be

suspended in the dough. These ingredients

should be gradually added during the

kneading and before the dough rises for the

ﬁrst time.

please contact the relevant number listed

below. Or refer to contact details on the

packaging of the bread.
