Using the Mixer With the Cutting Blades
wWARNING
Pinch, Cut, and Crush Hazard
Make sure that the mixer is off and unplugged before installing or removing attachments and parts.
Blades are sharp! Use extreme care when handling.
DO NOT reach or insert utensils into the container while the mixer is running.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in broken bones, cuts, or other serious injury.
Using the cutting blades
WARNING: Inspect blades daily. Replace if dam- aged or every 90 days to avoid broken blades.
Always keep the appliance unplugged during assembly and disassembly.
•Install the stainless steel shaft and cutting blades as described in the instructions on page 4.
•When using cutting blades make sure that the blades do NOT come in contact with the bottom or sides of the container.
For mixing and blending
1.Add the ingredients to the container or bowl, following recipe instructions. Ingredients mix best when liquids are added first, and solid ingredients are “stirred” in.
2.Position the cutting head of the mixer in the container so that the guard is covered by food.
NEVER submerse the vents on the motor housing.
3.Start the mixer on LOW (1) speed, then switch to HIGH (2) speed (if desired). Use a gentle up and down motion while slowly turning the container to “stir” the food until it has all been mixed to the desired consistency.
wWARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Do not use an extension cord.
Do not immerse motor housing, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Tips for Mixing
•Use deeper containers for mixing and blending to help prevent splashing and spattering.
•Using a gentle up and down motion when mixing helps circulate and “draw up” ingredients to provide more consistent mixing results.
•Do not use to crush ice.
