Rather then temperature in degrees, the Kenwoood Chef Patissier XL has 9 warming levels to choose from. Think of it like a hob setting, turn it up for more heat and turn it down for less. It has been carefully designed to work well with common baking tasks such as melting, proving and sabayon, but it will not boil water. Reccommended temperature levels for key tasks can be found here (include table for Warming Setting against Action)

The maximum dough load and run times can be found in the Instruction Manual.

If you have set your appliance to warm or cook, the timer will not start counting until the temperature sensor is near to the heat setting you have selected. If you want the timer to start straight away, you need to operate the appliance in manual mode.

The appliance measures weight through its feet, meaning you can weigh anywhere on your machine; in the bowl, at the high speed outlet, or even on the head. The weighing is accurate to measure in 1g increments, so any movement near to the appliance may cause the display to change. Also if you lean on the bowl whilst filling it with food you are adding to the weight on the machine so it can also cause an additional weight reading. Always make sure the appliance is on a flat, even surface when weighing.
