The BREVILLE SCRAPER MIXER BEM410 consists of the following components:

A. Mixer motor head: Powerful 700 watt motor for powerful and thorough mixing results.

B. Large 4.7L stainless steel mixing bowl: For mixing your ingredients.

C. Die cast metal mixer stand: The heavy duty die cast metal stand keeps the mixer secure and stable during operation.

D. Speed control dial with 6 speed settings.

E. Tilt back hinge button: The mixer motor head tilts back and locks into position to allow easy removal of the mixing bowl and attachments.

F. Bowl locking recess: Allows the bowl to be securely locked into place for safety and stability.

G. Scraper beater: Scrapes the sides and bottom of the bowl for exceptionally thorough mixing of cake and biscuit batter, pastry, frosting and more.

H. Wire whisk: Consistently mixes and aerates for egg whites, cream and thin batters.

I. Dough hook: Effectively kneads heavy dough for bread and pizza.

The Breville Scraper Beater folds ingredients and continuously scrapes down the sides and bottom of the bowl for exceptionally 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 can produce poorly baked results, leading to collapsing, uneven crumb, holes, low rising, streaking, and coarse textures. The Scraper Beater helps ensure a thoroughly mixed batter for your favourite cakes, biscuits, frosting, and more.

Many recipes may specify a Flat Beater, but for exceptionally thorough mixing and to save time, you can use your Scraper Beater instead.

Before using your BREVILLE SCRAPER MIXER BEM410 for the first time, follow these steps:

1. Remove any packaging material and promotional labels.

2. Ensure the speed control dial is in the ‘O – Stand By’ position, the mixer is switched off at the power outlet, and the power cord is unplugged.

3. Remove the mixing bowl, scraper beater, whisk, and dough hook.

4. Wash these parts in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The bowl and attachments may also be washed in the dishwasher.

Note: When first using your mixer, you may notice an odour coming from the motor. This is normal and will dissipate with use.

To attach the bowl:

1. Place the mixer stand on a level, dry surface. The mixer motor head should be in the horizontal (closed) position.

2. Raise the mixer motor head by depressing the tilt back hinge button, then lift the motor head up until it tilts back and locks into the open position.

3. Insert the mixing bowl into the bowl locking recess of the mixer stand.

4. Turn the bowl clockwise until it locks securely into place.

To remove the bowl:

1. Ensure the mixer motor head is in the raised and locked open position.

2. Turn the mixing bowl anti-clockwise until it releases from the bowl locking recess.

Note: The mixer motor head must be raised and locked into the open position to remove or insert the mixing bowl.

1. Ensure the mixer motor head is in the raised open position.

2. Align the groove in the top of the scraper beater, dough hook, or whisk with the locking pin on the spindle extending down from the mixer motor head.

3. Press the attachment upwards and turn it clockwise until it locks securely onto the locking pin on the spindle.

4. To remove, hold the mixer motor head and press the attachment upwards. Turn it anticlockwise to release it from the pin on the spindle.

1. Attach the appropriate beater and the mixing bowl securely.

2. Lower the mixer motor head by depressing the tilt back hinge button and pushing it down until it locks into the horizontal (closed) position. Always support the motor head with your other hand to prevent it from free-falling.

3. Ensure the speed control dial is set to the ‘O – Stand By’ position. Plug the cord into a 230/240v power outlet and switch the power ‘ON’.

4. Add ingredients to the mixing bowl as indicated in the recipe.

5. Always begin mixing by selecting a low speed setting on the speed control dial to prevent ingredients from splattering. Increase the speed as suited to the mixing task. The speed can be adjusted during operation by moving the dial.

6. If necessary, stop the mixer and scrape any food mixture down the sides of the mixing bowl with a spatula.

7. When mixing is complete, turn the speed control dial to the ‘O – Stand By’ position, switch the appliance off at the power outlet, and unplug the cord.

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.

1. Always ensure the speed control dial is in the ‘O – Stand By’ position, the mixer is switched off at the power outlet, and the power cord is unplugged.

2. Remove the scraper beater, dough hook or whisk, and mixing bowl from the mixer.

3. Wipe the mixer motor head and mixer stand with a soft, damp cloth then dry thoroughly. Do not wash or immerse the mixer motor head and mixer stand in water or any other liquid. Do not allow water or liquid to enter the gear system.

4. Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord.

5. Wash the bowl, scraper beater, dough hook, and whisk in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. They can also be washed in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Note: Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners on the mixing bowl or attachments as these may scratch the surface. Do not soak attachments in water for extended periods, as this may damage the finish.

1. Your mixer should be kept in a convenient position on your kitchen bench top or in an accessible cupboard.

2. Always ensure the speed control dial is in the ‘O – Stand Byʼ position, the mixer is switched off at the power point, and the power cord is unplugged.

3. Store the mixing bowl in the bowl locking recess in the mixer stand.

4. Place the attachments inside the mixing bowl and lower the mixer motor head into the horizontal (closed) position.

Note: The motor head cannot be taken off the base for any purpose.

The following oven temperature settings are included as a guide and may need to be adjusted to suit your individual oven. If using a fan-forced oven, be sure to turn the temperature down by 15-20°C.

• Check ingredients and read the recipe before starting.

• Measure ingredients accurately; weighed measurements are more accurate than volume.

• Use bread flour unless the recipe states otherwise.

• Check use-by dates on ingredients.

• Add ingredients in the order stated in the recipe.

• Store opened ingredients in airtight containers.

• Use ingredients at room temperature.

• Don’t use flour with a protein level 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 for yeasted bread unless specified.

• In high altitude areas (above 900m), reduce the yeast by ¼ teaspoon.

• If the weather is hot and humid, reduce the yeast by ¼ teaspoon to avoid over-rising.

• Adjust water and flour ratio if needed. If dough is too sticky, add 1-2 tbsp flour; if too dry, add 1-2 tsp water. A correct dough should form a smooth, round ball that is damp but not sticky.

• For evenly sized rolls, weigh each piece of dough.

• Weigh and measure ingredients correctly.

• Preheat the oven before starting to ensure the correct temperature is achieved.

• If using a fan-forced oven, reduce temperatures in recipes by 15-20°C.

• When mixing, start at a lower speed and gradually increase, especially when adding dry ingredients.

• When using smaller quantities, turn off the mixer occasionally to scrape the bowl with a spatula.

• Ensure the wire whisk and mixing bowl are clean and free of fats when whipping egg whites.

• Instead of greasing pans, line with baking paper where appropriate.

• Pre-warm a measuring spoon in hot water for easy measuring of golden syrup or honey.

• Butter should be softened at room temperature for easier creaming.

• Keep surfaces and ingredients chilled for pastry making; butter for pastry should be refrigerated.

• Avoid stretching pastry when rolling it out, as it will shrink when baking.

• Eggs should be at room temperature for better volume when whipping.

• Break eggs individually into a separate container before adding to other ingredients to avoid spoilage.

• Separate egg whites carefully to avoid egg yolks, which contain fat and prevent successful whipping.

• Rinse beaten egg residue from utensils with cold water immediately after use to prevent it from setting.

• Test if cakes are cooked by lightly touching the top; it should spring back. A skewer inserted into the center should come out clean.

The following timings are a guide only. Longer mixing times may be required for larger quantities. Do not use the Scraper Beater for mixing heavy dough (bread, pizza etc) or whisking egg whites.

The Scraper Beater can also be used as a spatula when removing cake, biscuits or other mixtures from the mixing bowl.
