Using Your Hand Mixer
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 "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.
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", 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.
