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

Press forward on the thumb tab to turn the mixer on and to select the desired speed setting (1 through 6). When the speed control is in the off position you can push down on the thumb tab to release the beaters or other attachments. There may not be a noticeable click.

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. Overbeating tends to make some mixtures tough. Whenever scraping of the bowl is required, stop the mixer and scrape sides and bottom of bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. 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.

BURST OF POWER® Feature

The BURST OF POWER® feature allows for an added boost to the selected speed setting at the press of the button. During especially heavy mixing tasks, press the button to drive through the mixture with ease. Once the button

is released, the mixer will return to the original speed setting.

EJECTING BEATERS OR DOUGH HOOKS

Be sure speed control is at the “OFF” or “0” position and cord is removed from electrical outlet. Scrape off any excess batter with a rubber spatula. Grasp the stems of the beaters with your hand and press the beater eject button. Beaters will release into your hand.
