Before using your mixer for the first time, wash the beaters in hot, soapy water or in the
dishwasher. Rinse and dry.
Be sure speed control is in the “OFF” or “O” position and unplugged from an electrical outlet.
Insert beaters one at a time, by placing stem end of beaters into the opening on the bottom of
the mixer. Turn beater slightly and push in until beater clicks into position. Plug cord into
appropriate outlet.
Although your mixer is much more convenient to use on a stand, it is not designed to be used
for heavy mixing, or in recipes calling for more than 3-1/2 cups of flour. This may cause
overheating and possibly motor damage.

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 “O” 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 “O” before raising beaters completely
out of mixing bowl.
Ingredients should be added to the mixing bowl exactly as they are specified in the recipe.
When combining wet and dry ingredients, you may wish to moisten ingredients on low speed,
then turn to the desired speed as specified in the mixing guide.

To attach the Hand Mixer to the Stand, tilt the Stand’s Cradle (the top of the Stand that holds
the Mixer) back and insert the Mixer’s two slots (located in the bottom center of the Mixer)
over the Cradle’s protruding tabs. Then push the Mixer until the Stand’s locking tabs snap
into the Mixer.
To remove the Mixer from the Stand, tilt Cradle back then grasp the Mixer firmly with
one hand and press the Release Button located on the bottom of the Cradle.
C AUTION : The Mixer should be unplugged from the electrical outlet and in the
“OFF” or “O” position when attaching to – or removing from – the stand.

The dough hooks must go into the correct sockets. Although the mixer will operate, the dough
could “travel” up the hooks. This will not provide the correct kneading action and could ruin
a recipe or damage your mixer.
Insert one at a time, by placing the dough hook with the curved foot into the left socket at the
bottom of the mixer. Insert the straight end hook into the right socket. When using the dough
hooks, USE THE HAND MIXER OFF THE STAND. ONLY USE SPEED 1 OR 2.
