Oster 2499 Hand Mixer

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not put the hand mixer in water or other liquid. This may cause personal injury and/or damage to the product.
Close supervision is necessary when a hand mixer is used by or near children, or incapacitated persons.
Unplug from the outlet while not in use, before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as spatulas and other utensils away from beaters during operation to reduce the risk of injury to persons and/or damage to the hand mixer.
Do not operate the hand mixer with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance malfunctions, or if it is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest Authorized Sunbeam Service Center for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
The use of attachments not recommended or sold by Sunbeam Products may cause fire, electrical shock or injury.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or countertop.
Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces, including a stove.
Do not use it outdoors or for commercial purposes.
Remove the beaters from the hand mixer before washing them.
Do not place the hand mixer on or near a hot burner or in a heated oven.
Do not use a hand mixer for other than intended use.
Do not leave hand mixer unattended while it is operating

THIS UNIT FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
FOR 120V & 127V PRODUCTS ONLY
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way; if the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

EXTENSION CORD USE
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the electrical rating of the cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally

LEARNING ABOUT YOUR HAND MIXER

The OSTER® Hand Mixer has been designed to assist you in preparing delicious foods.

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.
BEATER EJECT BUTTON

BEATERS
The beater design allows for thorough, fast mixing results for all types of batters. The beaters are dishwasher safe.
DOUGH HOOKS
Use these hooks to knead bread dough, pizza dough or other heavy batters and doughs. Use at lower speeds for best results.
COMFORT HANDLE
The handle has been designed for comfort to prevent hand fatigue during heavy or long mixing tasks

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 the beaters into the opening drive holes on the bottom of the mixer. Turn beater slightly and push in until beater clicks into position.
When using the optional dough hooks, the dough hook with the collar on the stem fits into the larger drive hole (on the side of the mixer with the OSTER® name). The dough hook without the collar fits into the smaller drive hole.

MIXING

Turn mixer on and refer to speed guide for correct setting. Slowly guide the 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 the 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 the cord is removed from the 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

CARING FOR YOUR MIXER

CLEANING
Wash the beaters before and after every use. Beaters and Dough Hooks may be washed in a dishwasher. After removing the cord from the electrical outlet, clean the mixer head with a damp cloth and wipe dry. DO NOT IMMERSE THE MIXER IN WATER. This may cause electric shock, injury, or damage to the product.
Avoid the use of abrasive cleaners that will damage the finish of your mixer. The motor of your mixer has been carefully lubricated at the factory and does not require any additional lubricant.
STORAGE
Store the hand mixer on its heel rest in a clean, dry location such as a cabinet or shelf. Store beaters in a drawer.

MAINTENANCE
Other than the recommended cleaning, no further user maintenance should be necessary. If for any reason your hand mixer should require repairs, do not try to fix it yourself. Send it to the nearest Authorized Sunbeam Appliance Service Center.
