Using as a Hand Mixer
Slowly guide mixer around the sides and through the center of the bowl, going in the same direction. Be careful not to over beat the mixture. Over beating 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 “0” and rest mixer on its heel rest while adding ingredients. Make sure to position beaters over mixing bowl so any drippings will fall back into the mixing bowl.
When mixing is complete, set speed control to “1” and raise beaters slowly from batter to clean off clinging food. Make sure to turn unit to “0” before raising beaters completely out of mixing bowl.
Speed Control Switch – The hand mixer features a 5 speed control switch. Move the switch with your finger from 0 to 5 (Off to High) for desired speed. Gradually move to higher speeds to reduce splattering of contents.
Burst of Power® 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.
Beater Eject Button – Is a large separate button located at the top of the Hand Mixer portion. With the unit on “0”, push with thumb to release the beaters. There will be a noticeable “click” when ejecting beaters.
