power outlet and the speed control switch is
in the ‘0’ OFF position.

depending on the mixing task to be
performed: beaters for mixing and
beating, or dough hooks for kneading.
When adding dry ingredients use the
lowest speed to prevent the ‘snow storm’
effect.
Inserting the beaters
2a. Beaters can be inserted into either

hooks are fully inserted into the correct
sockets or your mixing results may be
affected.
Note: Never eject the beaters or dough
hooks when the Beatermix Pro is in
operation.
Using your Beatermix Pro
1. With the speed control switch in the ‘O’
OFF position, plug the power cord into a
230-240V AC power outlet.
2. Place the beaters or dough hooks into the
ingredients to be mixed and using the

Mixing Tips
1. For even and thorough mixing, slowly
guide the beaters around the sides and
through the centre of the bowl in the
same direction. Do not overmix.
2. Always stop the mixer by moving the
speed control switch to the ‘0’ OFF
position before raising the beaters out of
the mixing bowl.
3. When adding ingredients or scraping the
bowl, stop the mixer and rest it on it’s
base with the bowl below the beaters
to catch any mixture draining from the
beaters.
4. When folding dry ingredients into delicate
mixtures such as sponge cake, use Speed
1 on the ‘Low’ setting. Do not overmix.
Beating Egg Whites
6. Separate the yolk and white carefully
ensuring there is no yolk in the egg white.
If some egg yolk is in the egg white, use
the egg shell to scoop the yolk out.
7. Best results are achieved when using
a glass or stainless steel mixing bowl.
If using a plastic mixing bowl, rub the
inside of the bowl with ½ a lemon. (This
helps remove any grease). Then wash and
dry thoroughly.
8. For best result always ensure that the
beaters and mixing bowl are thoroughly
clean and dry.
9. For maximum volume, beat egg whites at
room temperature.
5. Always start mixing at slow speeds.
Gradually increase to the recommended
speed as stated in the recipe.
10.Beat egg whites using Speed 5 on the
High range setting. Beating time can vary
depending on the freshness of the eggs.

range setting, start by mixing on Speed
2, than increase to Speed 4 or 5 as the
cream thickens.
14.If intending to use the cream for piping,
add approximately 2 teaspoons icing
sugar per 300ml of cream before mixing.
This will help the cream hold it’s shape.
13.Use a deeper bowl to prevent splatter.

Care and Cleaning
Before cleaning your Sunbeam Beatermix
Pro, ensure that the power is turned off at
the power outlet, then remove the plug.
Wipe over the outside area of the Beatermix
Pro with a dampened cloth and polish with a
soft dry cloth. Wipe any excess food particles
from the power cord.
Do not immerse the motor housing in water
or any other liquid. Do not harsh detergents
or abrasive cleaners to clean the motor
housing as these will scratch and damage the
surface.
Wash the beaters and dough hooks in warm
soapy water with a cloth or sponge. Rinse
and dry thoroughly. Do not use scouring pads
or abrasive cleaners. The beaters and dough
hooks can also be placed in a dishwasher.
Note: Never wind the power cord around the
motor after use as the warmth of the motor
may cause damage to the power cord.
