Using Your Hand Mixer

INSERTING BEATERS AND DOUGH HOOKS
Be sure the unit is unplugged before inserting Beaters or Dough Hooks. Please note that the Dough Hooks are designed to fit in the mixer only one way. Firmly grasp the mixer by the handle. Insert the Dough Hook with the large shaft ring into the right opening (the larger opening). Push the Dough Hook in as far as it will go. The Dough Hook will click as it locks into place. If the Dough Hook does not lock into place, try inserting into the other opening. Repeat this process with other Dough Hook in the left opening (the smaller opening). Plug the Mixer into a 120 volt 60 Hz AC only outlet. Your Mixer is now ready to use.

REMOVING BEATERS
Your Hand Mixer has a Beater Eject Button to allow easy removal of the Beaters and Dough Hooks. Be sure the unit is unplugged and the speed switch is set to “OFF” before removing the Beaters or Dough Hooks. With one hand holding the Beaters or Dough Hooks, press the Beater Eject Button. The Beaters/Dough Hooks will drop out of their locks for easy cleaning

CONTROLLING THE MIXER SPEED
To operate your Hand Mixer, simply move the Speed Selector Switch from the “OFF” position to the desired speed. Your mixer will beat at the speed level you have selected.

During operation, it is possible to alter the speed of the mixer by selecting a new speed setting. Your mixer has seven speed levels: (1 to 6 plus Turbo).

USING THE TURBO FEATURE
The Turbo Button is perfect for tough mixing jobs and adds extra mixing power at the touch of a button. Should you feel the Mixer slowing or straining during tough mixing jobs, firmly press the Turbo Button to increase the mixing speed. By releasing the Turbo Button, the mixer will automatically return to the previously selected speed.
NOTE: When engaging the Turbo Button, a slight pause may occur if lightly pressed. This is completely normal and can be avoided by pressing firmly on the Turbo Button.

INTERRUPTING THE MIXING PROCESS
To stop your Mixer, simply move the Speed Selector Switch to the “OFF” position. This will stop the beaters’ rotation. Your Mixer has been designed with a Heel Rest to make mixing easier. Lift the Mixer up from your mixing bowl. Stand the Mixer on its heel with the beaters positioned over the mixing bowl. This will allow the batter to drip directly into the bowl. You may now add other ingredients as necessary. Resume mixing whenever you are ready.
CAUTION: To prolong the life of your Mixer, avoid getting flour into the air vents. Do not use the mixer for more than 5 minutes consecutively. After 5 minutes of use, allow the Mixer to rest for a few minutes before continuing to mix ingredients.

Cleaning Your Hand Mixer

Be sure mixer is unplugged before cleaning. Remove Beaters or Dough Hooks from mixer and wash in warm soapy water. The Mixer body may be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
CAUTION: Do not immerse the cord, plug or Mixer body in water or other liquid.
