Using Your Hand Mixer - Oster 2532 Instruction Manual

Before using your mixer for the first time, wash the beaters in hot/soapy water, or the
dishwasher. Rinse and dry.
Be sure speed control is in the "OFF" or "0" position and unplugged from an electrical
outlet. Insert beaters one at a time, by placing stem end of beaters into the opening drive
holes on the bottom of the mixer. Turn beater slightly and push in until beater clicks into
position. Beaters are interchangeable.
MIXINg
Turn mixer on and refer to speed guide for correct setting. Slowly guide mixer around
sides and through center of bowl, going in the same direction. Be careful not to overbeat
the mixture. Overbeating tends to make some mixtures tough.
Whenever scraping of the bowl is required, stop the mixer and scrape sides and bottom
of bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Turn speed control to "OFF" or "0" and rest
mixer on its heel rest while adding ingredients. Be sure to position beaters over mixing
bowl so any dripping will fall back into mixing bowl.
When mixing is complete, set the control to "1", and raise beaters slowly from batter to
clean off clinging food. Be sure to unit to "0" before raising beaters completely out of
mixing bowl.

The BURST OF POWER feature allows for an added boost to the selected speed setting
at the press of the button. During especially heavy mixing tasks, press the button to drive

original speed setting.
EJECTINg BEATERS
Be sure the control is in the "OFF" or "0" position and cord is removed from electrical
outlet. Scrape off any excess batter with a rubber spatula. Grasp the stems of the beaters
with your hand and press the beater eject button. Beaters will release into your hand.
