USING YOUR HAND/STAND MIXER
Before using your Hand/Stand Mixer for the first time, wash the Beaters, Dough Hooks
and Bowl in hot/ soapy water, or the dishwasher. Rinse and dry. Be sure the speed
controls are in the "0" position and the unit is unplugged from an electrical outlet. Plug
cord into an electrical outlet. Insert Beaters as indicated above.
MIXING WITH THE STAND MIXER
The On/ Off Speed is used to switch the Mixer on and control the Mixer speed. For every
speed selected, the Burst of Power Feature Button can be pressed and held when the
appliance is in operation to achieve the maximum power within the selected speed. You
can add ingredients to the bowl while mixing or switch it off, raise the mixer and then add
the ingredients. Once you are done adding the ingredients, lower the mixer and start the
mixing process again until you reach the desired consistency.
NOTE: The Mixer must not be run continuously for more than 5 minutes at a time. After
this time, allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before re-using.
MIXING WITH THE HAND MIXER
Remove Mixer from the stand, please refer to the instructions on the section "PLACING/
REMOVING THE MIXING BOWL". Turn mixer on and refer to speed guide for the 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 the off
position "O" 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.
BURST OF POWER FEATURE
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
through the mixture with ease. Once the button is released, the mixer will return to the
original speed setting.
EJECTING BEATERS
Be sure the control is in the off "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.
