Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.

WARNING: To reduce risk of personal injury, always unplug mixer before inserting or removing beaters.

BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash attachments in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry.
