ACCESSORY/SPEED GUIDE

NOTE: Use Speed 2 to mix or knead yeast doughs. Use of higher speed creates high potential for Stand Mixer failure. The PowerKnead™ Spiral Dough Hook efficiently kneads most yeast dough within 4 minutes. The use of a lower speed might slow down the unit and not thoroughly knead the dough.

*Available as an accessory purchase with selected models only.

PRODUCT ASSEMBLY

1. Turn the Stand Mixer to "0" (OFF) and then Unplug.
   To attach the Bowl: Fit the Bowl Supports over Locating Pins and press down on back of the Bowl until Bowl Pin snaps into Spring Latch.
   
2. To Remove Bowl: Place Bowl-Lift Lever in the down position. Grasp Bowl Handle and lift straight up and off Locating Pins.
   
3. To attach the Accessory: Slip the accessory onto the shaft. Turn to hook it over the Pin on the shaft.
   
4. To Remove the Accessory: Turn Stand Mixer to "0" (OFF) then unplug. Press accessory upward and turn to the left. Pull down the accessory from Beater Shaft.
   
   
   If the Bowl is not securely snapped into place, it will be unstable and wobble during use.
5. To raise the Bowl: Rotate the Bowl-Lift Lever to the straight up position. The Bowl must always be in the raised position when mixing.
   
6. Test the Beater to Bowl Clearance: Turn Stand Mixer ON and test each speed, making sure the beater does not touch the Bowl during operation. If the Beater is too far away from the bottom or is hitting the Bowl, proceed to next step to make adjustments.
   
7. (OPTIONAL) To adjust Beater to Bowl Clearance: Lower the Bowl to the down position. Turn the screw slightly counterclockwise (left) to raise the beater, or clockwise (right) to lower it. Adjust the beater so that it just clears the surface of the Bowl. Check again the clearance of the beater to the Bowl.
   
   
   When properly adjusted, the Flat Beater will not strike on the bottom or sides of the Bowl. If the Flat Beater or the Wire Whip is so close that it strikes the bottom of the Bowl, coating may wear off the beater or wires on the whip may wear.

USING THE POURING SHIELD*

PRODUCT USAGE

1. Turn the Stand Mixer to "0" (OFF) and then Unplug.
2. Attach Bowl and Flat Beater, Dough Hook, or Wire Whip to the mixer. Attach Bowl and raise into locked position.
3. Place the shield onto the Bowl so that the Motor Head covers the U-shaped gap in the shield. This will position the pouring chute just to the right of the Attachment Hub as you face the Mixer. Press lightly so that the tabs snap the shield onto the Bowl.
4. Pour ingredients into the Bowl through the Pouring Chute.

DISASSEMBLING THE PRODUCT

1. Turn the Stand Mixer to "0" (OFF) and then Unplug.
2. Lift the front of the Pouring Shield* clear of the rim of the Bowl. Pull away from the Stand Mixer. Lower the Bowl and scrape.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
PROBLEM			SOLUTION
If Stand Mixer warms up during use:			Under heavy loads with extended mixing time periods, you may not be able to comfortably touch the top of the Stand Mixer. This is normal.
If Stand Mixer emits a pungent odor during initial use:			This is normal. This is common with electric motors.
If the Flat Beater hits the Bowl:			Stop the Stand Mixer. See the "Product Assembly" section and adjust the Beater to Bowl Clearance.
The Speed Control Lever does not move smoothly or easily:			To move the Speed Control Lever with ease, lift slightly up as you move it across the settings in either direction.
If your Stand Mixer should fail to operate, please check the following:			Is the Stand Mixer plugged in?
			Is the fuse in the circuit to the Stand Mixer in working order? If you have a circuit breaker box, be sure the circuit is closed.
			Turn off the Stand Mixer for 10-15 seconds, then turn it back on. If the Stand Mixer still does not start, allow it to cool for 30 minutes before turning it back on.
If product shuts off after extensive use:			Motor has automatic sensor that will keep motor from overheating by shutting it off. If this occurs, turn speed switch to off and let Stand Mixer rest for 30 minutes before restarting.
If mixer is slowing down or appearing to struggle:			Are you using the appropriate beater and speed? See "Accessory/Speed Guide" for more information. Using 1/2 Speed or Speed 1 for bread doughs and heavy loads might slow down the unit. Breads should knead with the dough hook at Speed 2. If you have slowdown with heavy loads at 1/2 Speed, increase to Speed 1 or 2.
If the problem cannot be corrected:			See the "Warranty and Service" section. Do not return the Stand Mixer to the retailer; retailers do not provide service.
