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

Read all instructions.
To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not put the Hand Mixer in water or other liquid.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Turn the appliance OFF, then unplug from the outlet when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
Avoid contacting moving parts. Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as spatulas, and other utensils away from all accessories 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, or after the Hand Mixer malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the Hand Mixer to the nearest Authorized Service Center for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
The use of attachments not recommended or sold by KitchenAid may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
Do not use the Hand Mixer outdoors.

OPERATING THE SPEED CONTROL

This KitchenAid® Hand Mixer will beat faster and more thoroughly than most other electric hand mixers. Therefore, the beating time in most recipes must be adjusted to avoid overbeating. Beating time is faster due to larger beater sizes.
To help determine the ideal beating time, observe the batter or dough and beat only until it has the desired appearance described in your recipe, such as “smooth and creamy”. To select the best beating speeds, use the “Speed control guide” section.
