Dear Customer,  
Congratulations on your purchase of the Bamix all-purpose wand mixer. Bamix is a high-  
quality precision product, manufactured since 1954. It has proved its worth a thousand  
times over, satisfying users on all five continents. Ideal for daily mixing chores, both  
large and small, that occur in the kitchen, Bamix is ergonomically designed to fit  
comfortably in the hand for easy use.

- Bamix is fitted with a safety switch, intended to prevent it from being started by  
mistake, which turns off immediately when pressure on the switch is released.  
- This appliance should never be used by children, and care should be taken  
when using it near children.  
- When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container or make small  
quantities at a time to reduce spillage.  
- Keep hands and utensils out of the container while blending to prevent the  
possibility of severe injury to persons or damage to the unit. A scraper may be  
used, but only when the unit is not running.  
- Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.  
- If your unit is equipped with a grinder/chopper attachment, do not operate this  
attachment without the cover in place, as there is risk of personal injury.  
- Do not operate the appliance without the cutter guard, as there is risk of  
personal injury.  
- Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and  
before cleaning to avoid serious injury should the unit be started accidently. Never  
pull the plug with wet hands. Never carry or pull the appliance by the cord.  
- Avoid contact with moving parts as serious injury could result.  
- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter. Do not let cord contact hot  
surface, including the stove.  
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance  
malfunctions, is dropped or is damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the  
nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical  
adjustment.  
- Do not use outdoors.  
- The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause  
fire, electric shock or injury.  
- Repairs may only be carried out by our qualified service facilities. Considerable danger  
for the user may result from repairs by unauthorized persons.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
Additional Safety Instructions  
- This appliance may be fitted with a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other).  
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one  
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,  
contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.  
- The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for damages that occur if the appliance  
is used for purposes other than those for which it is intended, if it is incorrectly  
operated or repaired by unqualified persons. In such cases, the guarantee  
becomes invalid.

Mounting Instructions for Wall Bracket  
Note: This mounting hardware is meant for dry wall/stud mounting only. If walls are  
concrete, brick or plaster, please consult your local hardware store for assistance. Do not  
use or attach wire for hanging the wall bracket; it is meant to be mounted with  
appropriate wall screws.  
Tools needed:  
Level, Tape Measure, Stud Finder, #3 Slotted Screwdrivers, Pencil  
Hardware included (Not in all models):  
- (2) Metal Screws  
- (2) Dry Wall Anchors (for dry wall only)  
For stud mounting, anchors are not required; use only the screws.  
Mounting Instructions:  
- Determine your desired hanging location. Measure the distance between the two  
slots provided on the back of the wall bracket, making sure to take the  
measurements from the centers of both slots. The distance between the slots  
should be 4cm or approximately 1½”.  
- Mark the wall with the pencil, using this distance. Use a level and a tape  
measure to ensure a level installation.  
Mounting Considerations:  
Do not install this bracket:  
- closer than 1m or 40” from a door or window  
- closer than 1m or 40” from a ceiling or floor directly over or next to a power outlet  
underneath or over a sink or a basin or under a table over or near any  
portion of a heating or cooking appliance  
Also: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not operate any heating appliance  
beneath the mounted unit.

Dry Wall Mounting  
- Use a screwdriver to insert the wall anchors. Rotate the anchors clockwise while  
pushing them gently into the wall. They have threads that are designed to engage  
the dry wall as they are turned. Continue to rotate them until each flange touches  
the dry wall surface.  
- Insert the metal screws into the installed wall anchors, turning the screws  
clockwise, leaving approximately ½” between the back of the screw head and the  
wall.  
- Align the wall bracket over the screw heads and slide the bracket down until the  
slots fully engage the screw heads. Tighten or loosen screws as needed to fit the  
wall bracket snugly against the wall.  
Stud Mounting  
With a screwdriver, insert the metal screws directly into the studs clockwise until tight  
(you may wish to predrill a hole into the stud using an appropriate drill bit and power  
drill).  
Align the wall bracket over screw heads so that the slots provided on the back of the  
bracket engage with the screw heads. Gently press the bracket down until firmly  
engaged.

Applications/Handling  
Wrist Movement  
While processing, use a light swiveling motion from the wrist. Raise Bamix up a little  
and then lower it into the ingredients (do not press or pound). The best results depend  
on the length of processing.  
Drawing Up  
Rest the Bamix for a few seconds on the bottom of the container. Then hold it at  
an angle and draw it up slowly against the side of the container. When the  
ingredients are no longer drawn with it, put the Bamix back on the bottom and  
repeat the process until the ingredients are whipped to the required texture.  
Blending  
Lower the Bamix at an angle into the ingredients, then switch it on and blend. Before  
removing the appliance from the ingredients, switch it off to prevent splashing.  
Tip: While working, hold your free hand over the top of the container to prevent  
ingredients from spraying out.  
Soft Grip Switch  
Switch positions:  
Step I - for all light, airy dishes and small amounts  
Step II - for all thick, firm ingredients and large amounts  
Cleaning and Care  
Cleaning Bamix is very easy. Remove any attachment used and clean it. Clean the  
chromium-plated part of the appliance after every use under running water (do not switch  
on). Easily clean food that has stuck to Bamix by holding the appliance in a container of  
hot water and switching it on. Take care that the switch does not come in contact with  
water. CAUTION: Unplug appliance before cleaning.  
Important: Clean the appliance as soon as you have finished working to  
prevent the drive shaft from getting clogged.

Putting On and Exchanging the Attachments  
Holding the preferred attachment as straight as possible, push it onto the stub so  
that the drive pin on the stub fits exactly into the small recess in the socket of the  
attachment. The attachment is designed to make this process easy. Remove the  
attachment by simply pulling it off the stub.  
WARNING: When you exchange the attachments, always pull out the plug.  
Over time, the attachments may no longer fit as firmly on the shaft. In this case,  
simply press the spring blades lightly together with a pair of pliers.  
Containers/Cookware  
The Bamix can be used with any type of container or cookware, even directly in a  
pan on the stove. Use small containers for small amounts and large containers for  
larger amounts. Narrow, high containers are more suitable for working with the  
Bamix than are wide, shallow ones.  
Troubleshooting  
If you have not used your appliance for some time, the drive shaft may get stuck  
due to food residue that has hardened and is now clogging the lower shaft  
bearing. This can cause the drive shaft to stop rotating. Place the operative part of  
the appliance in a container of hot water for five to 10 minutes, and then switch it on.  
Usually the appliance will then work properly; if not, try to free the shaft carefully with  
pliers.  
The Bamix will stay “fit” longer if you oil it every few months with vegetable oil.  
Hold the Bamix upside-down with the cutter guard facing you, put two or three  
drops of vegetable oil on the drive shaft, and switch on the appliance for two to  
three minutes. Afterwards, rinse the appliance in hot water.  
Caution: Do not operate the hand mixer without the guard!

Using the Bamix  
Use the Bamix directly in the cooking pot or pan. No need to transfer the  
ingredients to another container!  
The Bamix is particularly suitable for the following purposes:  
- Strain and blend cold and warm sauces in quantities from 2 to 30 liters  
- Liquefy vegetable soups (quantities from 3 to 30 liters)  
- Thicken soups and sauces (more than 3 liters)  
- Whip and stiffen egg whites (at least 10 egg whites)  
- Mix liquids; e.g., for cheese flans, custard, etc.  
- Blend and liquefy fruits for ices  
- Prepare jams  
- Whip cream (more than 2 liters)  
- Make fruit and milk shakes  
- Blend mayonnaise, herb butter  
- Crush ice cubes and frozen fruits  
- Beat ice cream mixtures  
Working with the Bamix  
Mincing and chopping  
Always move the Bamix lightly from the wrist and lower it into the ingredients without  
pressure. Move the appliance up and down through the ingredients. The length of  
processing determines the best results.  
Beating  
Lower the Bamix at an angle into the ingredients and move up and down slowly along  
the side of the container. Repeat beating until contents are thick.  
Straining and Blending  
Lower the Bamix with the whisk attachment into the mixture at an angle and blend.  
Tip: When working with small amounts, hold the container at an angle; this prevents  
spraying.  
Cleaning  
After using, hold the cutter guard and the shaft with the attachment under hot or cold  
running water, and then put Bamix back in its convenient wall holder. This appliance is  
watertight as far up as the switch.  
WARNING: Unplug appliance before cleaning.

Care of Bamix  
Occasionally put two or three drops of salad oil on the base of the drive shaft and switch  
the appliance on for two minutes. Afterwards, rinse it in hot water so that no traces of oil  
can get into food.  
This appliance is only to be used for the preparation of food. Any other application can be  
dangerous and can lead to personal injuries. When the appliance is operated incorrectly,  
the liability and the guarantee become invalid.  
Eventual disposal of the appliance should be done according to the regulations of your  
place of residence.
