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 “0” position and unplugged from an electrical outlet. Insert beaters one at a time, by placing stem end of beaters into the opening drive holes on the bottom of the mixer. Turn beater slightly and push in until beater clicks into position. Beaters are interchangeable.

When using the optional dough hooks, the dough hook with the collar on the stem (see feature drawing) towards the tip fits into the large drive hole on the mixer. The dough hook without the collar on the stem fits into the smaller drive

MIXING

Turn mixer on and refer to speed guide for correct setting. Slowly guide mixer around sides and through center of bowl, going in the same direction. Be careful not to overbeat the mixture.

Turn speed control to “OFF” or “0” 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”, and raise beaters slowly from batter to clean off clinging food. Be sure to turn unit to “0” before raising beaters completely out of mixing bowl.
