Align the notches with the slots in the drive head holes, and then push the beater (1) or dough hook (3) firmly until it locks into place.
3. Make sure you use either two beaters or two dough hooks at the same time.

2. Hold the handle, and then turn on the hand mixer by sliding the control switch (2) to speed 1.
3. Start mixing the ingredients at the required speed level. Gradually adjust the speed level to avoid splashing.
   • Use the beaters for beating or aerating light dough, battering egg whites, and whipping cream.
   • Use the dough hooks for mixing heavy dough such as bread or fruit cake.
