Handle
The handle has been designed for comfort to prevent fatigue of the hand during heavy or long
mixing tasks.
Using Your Hand/Stand Mixer
Before using your mixer for the first time, wash the beaters in hot, soapy water or in the
dishwasher. Rinse and dry.
Be sure speed control is in the "OFF" or "O" position and unplugged from an electrical outlet.
Insert beaters one at a time, by placing stem end of beaters into the opening on the bottom of
the mixer. Turn beater slightly and push in until beater clicks into position. Plug cord into
appropriate outlet.
Although your mixer is much more convenient to use on a stand, it is not designed to be used
for heavy mixing, or in recipes calling for more than 3-1/2 cups of flour. This may cause
overheating and possibly motor damage.
Mixing
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 "O" and rest mixer on its
heel rest while adding ingredients. Be sure to position beaters over mixing bowl so any
drippings will fall back into mixing bowl.
When mixing is complete, set speed control to "1" and raise beaters slowly from batter
to clean off clinging food. Be sure to turn unit to "O" before raising beaters completely
out of mixing bowl.
Ingredients should be added to the mixing bowl as they are specified in the recipe.
When combining wet and dry ingredients, you may wish to moisten ingredients on low speed,
then turn to the desired speed as specified in the mixing guide.
Hand Mixer on a Stand
Attach the hand mixer to the stand by tilting the cradle back and inserting the mounting tabs
on the stand into the holes on the bottom of the mixer and sliding back to snap. To remove the
mixer from the stand, tilt the cradle back and keep hand under the cradle for support, snap the
mixer forward and lift off the stand without turning or twisting.
NOTE: The mixing bowl provided with this mixer is not heat resistant glass and
should not be placed in the oven. Always transfer the ingredients to a baking dish
or pan designed for oven use. Do not use mixing bowls to blend in large volumes
of hot liquids or to mash potatoes while still hot.
