SAFETY

THIS UNIT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

The motor of your MIXMASTER^® Mixer is protected by a heat cured insulation. This is a standard process. Due to the heat curing of the insulation, you may experience an odor and possibly a slight wisp of smoke from your mixer's motor. This effect will disappear after the first few uses.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

FOR PRODUCTS PURCHASED IN THE U.S. AND CANADA ONLY

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way; if the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. Also, do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord; instead, grasp the plug and pull to remove from the outlet.

If the use of an extension cord is necessary, please follow these guidelines:

• Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the mixer.
• Examine the extension cord before using and do not use if the extension cord is damaged.
• Do not abuse the extension cord and do not yank on any cord to disconnect.
• Keep extension cord away from heat and sharp edges.

CARING FOR YOUR MIXER

CLEANING YOUR MIXER

To clean the mixer, turn off, unplug, wipe the mixer head, stand and turntable with a damp cloth, then dry. DO NOT IMMERSE THE STAND MIXER IN WATER. Avoid the use of abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish of the mixer. Wash the beaters and bowls in hot, soapy water after each use. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Beaters and bowls may also be washed in an automatic dishwasher. If mixing bowls are scratched or chipped, do not use mixer.

STORING YOUR MIXER

Store the mixer in a dry location, such as on a countertop or table top, or in a closet or cupboard. Insert the beaters into the proper sockets. Place the dough hooks and other attachments in the mixing bowl.
Store the bowl(s) on the turntable. Wind the electric cord into a coil, then secure it with a twist fastener.

MAINTENANCE

The motor of your stand mixer has been carefully lubricated at the factory and does not require any additional lubricant. Other than the recommended cleaning, no further user maintenance should be necessary.
For servicing or repairs please contact Consumer Services for assistance. (1-800-458-8407 in the U.S. or 1-800-667-8623 in Canada)

HELPFUL HINTS

• When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use the large mixing bowl or make small quantities at a time to reduce spillage.
• Ingredients should be added to the mixing bowl as they are specified in the recipe.
• Use the mixing speed that is recommended in the recipe. Use the mixing guide on the speed control dial of the mixer to help you find the correct speed to use.
• If times are specified in the recipe, use them! BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVER MIX. Over mixing can cause the mixture to become very tough.
• Should an object, such as a spatula, fall into the bowl while the mixer is operating, turn the mixer OFF immediately then remove the object.
• For easier cleanup remove beaters and rinse immediately with warm water.
• Before beginning, make sure the bowl lever is in the correct position for the size bowl you are using, such as for the large bowl or the small bowl.
• Mixer is designed to be off-center when the large bowl is used for best performance.

PREPARING THE STAND MIXER FOR USE

Before preparing the mixer for use, be sure the speed control dial is in the OFF position and the electric cord is unplugged. Be sure to wash bowls and attachments before initial use.

ATTACHING THE TURNTABLE

Place the revolving turntable into the base of the stand by pressing the turntable into the center hole of the adjustable slot until it snaps into place.

ADJUSTING THE TURNTABLE

The turntable must be adjusted depending upon which bowl size is being used. To adjust, press down on the Turntable Bowl Selector Switch and slide the switch to the proper icon. (See Figure 1)

ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE MIXING HEAD

To attach the mixing head, press in on the mixer-release trigger, located at the rear of the stand. Place the mixer head on the stand so that the metal pivot on the bottom of the mixer head goes into the latched opening on top of the stand. As you release pressure from the mixer-release trigger, the top of the latch should clamp around the metal pivot. Once the mixing head is lowered into position, it will lock into place. (See Figure 2A)

RAISING AND LOWERING THE MIXING HEAD

Press the head lock button, located on the neck of the stand mixer. While the button is depressed, hold the handle and ease the head of the stand mixer back. The MIXMASTER^® Stand Mixer head will lock into this position. To lower the mixing head, press the head lock button. While the button is depressed, hold the handle and ease the head of the stand mixer down. A "click" sound will indicate when the mixer head has locked into position. (See Figure 2B) Be sure the mixer head is securely in position before using. NOTE: This mixer is NOT intended for use away from the stand.

INSTALLING THE ATTACHMENTS

Be sure the speed control dial is in the OFF position and unplug electric cord from the electrical outlet. Lift mixer head up and back to pull it out of the way of the bowl. (See Figure 2B)

NOTE: It is important that the beaters, dough hooks or whisks go into the correct sockets, otherwise the mixer will not give you the proper mixing action. Do not risk ruining a recipe or damaging your mixer. Read the following instructions carefully.

Insert the beaters, dough hooks or whisks one at a time, using a combination pressing and twisting motion, until they snap into position. If an attachment does not properly snap into place, pull it out of the socket and rotate it one quarter turn. Reinsert the attachment into the socket until it snaps into position.

BEATERS

One of the beaters is shaped like a cone and has a nylon button on the bottom. It goes into the socket on the side of the mixer nearest the side of the bowl. The other beater goes into the socket nearest the center of the bowl. (See Figure 4) See beater symbols located on the bottom of the mixer head.

DOUGH HOOKS

The dough hook with the smaller foot goes into the socket on the side of the mixer nearest the side of the bowl. The other dough hook goes into the socket nearest the center of the bowl. See the dough hook symbols located on the bottom of the mixer head.

WHISKS

The whisks are designed to fit into either socket. Insert as instructed above.

PREPARATION

ADDING THE MIXING BOWL

Once you have selected the bowl you wish to use, move the turntable bowl selector switch to the proper setting – the large bowl icon if you are using the large bowl, and the small bowl icon if you are using the small bowl. Place the desired mixing bowl onto the turntable.

NOTE: Mixing bowls should NEVER be used in a conventional oven, on top of the range or on any other heated surface. If mixing bowls are scratched or chipped, do not use the mixer. Bowl only can be used in microwave.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

ABOUT THE SPEED CONTROL DIAL

The speed control dial is used for turning the mixer ON and OFF and for selecting its 12 mixing speeds. (See Figure 3)

Rotate the speed control dial in a clockwise direction to increase mixing speed, and in a counterclockwise direction to decrease mixing speed.

As you rotate the speed control dial, notice that a numbered speed is aligned with the indicator light on the side of the mixer head. This numbered speed indicates the speed at which the mixer is operating.

Rotate the speed control dial until the indicator is opposite the numbered speed you wish to use.

Hint: During normal operation, the mixer may automatically adjust speeds as the consistency changes of your dough or mixture: This is for optimum performance. It is not recommended to operate the mixer without contents in the bowl.

MIXING GUIDE

Please keep in mind that the various mixing tasks and related speeds listed in the following table may vary slightly from recipe to recipe.

For most recipes, it is better to begin your mixing on a slower speed until the ingredients begin combining, then move to the appropriate speed range for the particular task.

When mixing larger quantities you may need to increase the speed due to the amount of mixing required and the larger load on the machine.

When building up a recipe that requires the addition of dry ingredients, such as flour, slow the speed down while these ingredients are being added to avoid a snow storm effect. Once the extra ingredients begin combining, slowly increase to the appropriate speed for the particular mixing task.

Use the chart below to determine the best setting to use when preparing your favorite recipes.

NOTE: Due to variations in ingredient temperatures and quantities, the Mixing Guide speeds are only suggestions. If necessary, adjust speeds as needed to achieve desired results.
