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.
1
- 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.
7
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!
8
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.
9
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.
