•Unplug from outlet when not in use, before cleaning, removing or attaching parts. To disconnect, turn off, grasp plug and unplug from wall. Never pull on the cord.
•Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands, hair, clothing as well as spatulas and other utensils away from the beater, whisk or dough hook during operation to prevent injury or damage to the mixer.
