- Read all instructions before using this product.
- To protect against electric shock, do not place or immerse cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.
- This appliance is not intended for use by children or by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge.

- Avoid any 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 or damage to the mixer.
- Remove beaters from mixer before washing.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Do not attempt to replace or splice a damaged cord. Return appliance to the manufacturer (see warranty) for examination, repair or adjustment.
- For appliances with markings on plug blade: This appliance has important markings on the plug blade. The attachment plug or entire cord set (if plug is molded onto cord) is not suitable for replacement. If damaged, the appliance shall be replaced.
- The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
- Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes.
- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
- Do not use appliance for other than intended use. Misuse can cause injuries. Always use appliance on a dry, stable, level surface.
- Do not place appliance on or near a hot burner or in a heated oven.
- If equipped with the immersion blender attachment.
a. When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container or make small quantities at a time to reduce spillage.
b. Keep hands and utensils out of the container while blending to prevent the possibility of severe injury to personals or damage to the unit. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the unit is not running.
c. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
POLARIZED PLUG
North American models with polarized plugs:
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the other). As a
safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended
to fi t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fi t fully in
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fi t, contact a qualifi ed
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature or modify the plug
in any way. If the plug fi ts loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet
feels warm do not use that outlet.
POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS:
A short power-supply cord or detachable power-supply cord is provided to
reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. Longer detachable powersupply cords or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long detachable power-
supply cord or extension cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance;
b. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be
a grounding type 3wire cord; and
c. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
Do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord.
Do not wrap the power cord around the main body of the appliance during or
after use.

USING YOUR HAND MIXER
WARNING: Do not put metal utensils (knives, spoons, forks, etc.) into the bowl while operating the mixer.
NOTE: Do not let the unit come into contact with acidic foods
- Insert the correct attachment(s) based on mixing/blending needs.
- The beaters are identical and can be inserted into either drive hole.
- Unlike the beaters, the dough hooks are not interchangeable. When using the dough hooks, insert the one with the washer into the larger drive hole, and the one without the washer into the smaller drive hole.
- With the correct accessory attached, turn the speed selector to the “0” OFF position, then plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
- When mixing, to avoid splatters, start the unit on the lowest speed and slowly increase to the desired speed setting.
- Slowly guide the mixer around the sides and through the center of the bowl, going in the same direction. Be careful not to overbeat the mixture. Overbeating tends to make some mixtures tough.
- To increase power during heavy mixing tasks, press the turbo button to drive through the mixture with ease.
- When mixing is complete, turn the speed selector to the “0” setting, and unplug the cord from the power outlet.
- If necessary, scrape excess food from the attachment using a rubber spatula.
- To remove dough hooks, beaters or whisk, hold the stems of the attachments fi rmly, then press the Easy-Release Lever. Attachments will come off
To use the immersion blender wand:
-
Remove the cap from the base of unit, then place it into the cap holder. (See Fig. 1)
-
Hold the hand mixer in the upright position, then insert the immersion blender wand. Push fi rmly until you hear the click indicating the wand has been securely inserted.
-
Always ensure the speed selector is set to the “0” position.
-
Press and hold the Turbo button to blend.
-
To stop, simply release the Turbo button.
-
To remove the immersion blender wand, push the release buttons on both sides of the unit at the same time. The immersion blender wand will come off. (See Fig. 2)
HELPFUL HINTS
-
Refrigerated ingredients, such as butter and eggs, should be at room temperature before mixing begins. Set these ingredients out ahead of time.
-
To eliminate the possibility of shells or rotten eggs in your recipe, break eggs into a separate container first, then add them to the mixture.
-
Always start mixing at a lower speed, and gradually increase to the recommended speed as stated in the recipe.
-
Do not over-mix. Only mix / blend for the maximum time recommended in your recipe.
Fold into dry ingredients only until just combined. Always use the low speed. -
Seasonal temperature changes and the temperature and texture of ingredients may vary from area to area. These factors play a part in the required mixing time and the results achieved.
NOTES:
- When kneading yeast dough, set the speed to a lower setting to achieve the best results.
- If using the mixer at high speed, do not exceed 1 minute of continuous operation, and allow 1 minute idle between two continuous cycles.
- If running the mixer with clean blades (i.e., no batter on the blades), do not exceed 15 seconds of continuous operation.
- The maximum continuous operating time per normal use should be less than 5 minutes, and you should allow the mixer to remain idle for a minimum of 20 minutes between two continuous cycles
