NOTE
Longer mixing times may be required

Do not use the Scraper Beater for
mixing heavy dough (bread, pizza etc)
or whisking egg whites.
The above timings are to be used as a
guide only.
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
