PRODUCT USAGE

OPERATING THE SPEED CONTROL

Injury Hazard
Unplug mixer before touching beaters.
Failure to do so can result in broken bones, cuts, or bruises.

This KitchenAid Hand Mixer will beat faster and more thoroughly than most other electric Hand Mixers. Therefore, the beating time in most recipes must be adjusted to avoid over beating. Beating time is faster due to larger Beater sizes.

To help determine the ideal beating time, observe the batter or dough and beat only until it has the desired appearance described in your recipe, such as "smooth and creamy". To select the best beating speeds, see the "Speed Control Guide" section.

First, turn the Hand Mixer to the "OFF/0" position. Then plug into an electrical outlet.
Always start mixing at the lowest speed, which is Speed 1.
To increase the speed, slide the Speed Control forward.
To decrease the speed, slide the Speed Control backward.
When finished, turn the Hand Mixer to the "OFF/0'' position. Then unplug from the electrical outlet.

CARE AND CLEANING

Do not immerse the Hand Mixer body in water or other liquids. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads to avoid scratching.

Electrical Shock Hazard
Do not put in water.
Doing so can result in death or electrical shock.

Injury Hazard
Unplug mixer before touching beaters.
Failure to do so can result in broken bones, cuts, or bruises.

Turn the Hand Mixer to the "OFF/0'' position. Then unplug from an electrical outlet.
