Recommendations for kneading
• Use speed setting 2 or 3 to knead
leavened doughs or particularly tough
mixtures such as egg pasta. Using the
appliance on higher speeds with these
stiffer doughs risks overloading it,
increasing the probability of a
malfunction.
• Do not exceed 2.2 lbs of standard flour
or 1.8 lbs of wholewheat or strong flour
(e.g. bread flour).
• When preparing egg pasta, do not
exceed a quantity equivalent to using 3
medium eggs and add small quantities of
water if necessary.
• Take care to use an adequate
proportion of water in the dough (at least
50-60% by weight with respect to the
quantity of flour). Doughs which are too
dry and therefore stiff can overload the
motor, increasing the probability of a
malfunction. If you notice that the motor is
straining, add small quantities of water to
help the mixture come together, or divide
the dough mixture in two and work the
quantities separately.
• Do not exceed the bowl’s maximum
capacity so as not to overload the
appliance.
• If the mixer is struggling, turn it off and
remove half of the bowl’s contents. The
appliance should then be able to
process the two halves separately.
• Ingredients mix more easily if liquids are
added to the bowl first.
There may be a slight movement of
the motor head while kneading or
mixing heavy ingredients or those
in large quantities. This is normal
and will not compromise the
smooth operation and durability of
the device.
