POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance is equipped with 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 fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm, do not use that outlet.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: A short not detachable power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord
AN EXTENSION CORD MAY BE USED IF CARE IS EXERCISED IN THEIR USE:

• Minimize the risk of overheating by using the shortest UL or ETL cord possible.
• The marked electrical rating must be at least as great as that of the product.
• Never use a single extension cord to operate more than one appliance.
• Arrange the longer cord so that it will not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on unintentionally (especially by children).
• DO NOT alter the plug. DO NOT attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

TO ASSEMBLE

WARNING: Ensure the appliance is unplugged from the electrical outlet before inserting beaters or dough hooks into the hand mixer. According to the recipe you want to prepare, select the correct attachment for your needs insert either beaters or dough hooks in the hand mixer.

Inserting beaters:

• Unplug the hand mixer and set the speed variable control to 0.
• Firmly push beaters inside the openings until they click into place.(See image above)
• Ensure that beaters are fully inserted before using the mixer.
  NOTE : Beaters are interchangeable

Inserting dough hooks:

• Unplug the hand mixer and set the speed variable control to 0.

• Insert dough hook with collar on the right side which has the larger opening.
  (See image above)

• Firmly push dough hooks in until they click into place. Insert the dough hook without collar on the left side which has the smaller opening. Ensure that dough hooks are fully inserted before using the mixer.

NOTE: Dough hooks must be inserted into the correct side and are not interchangeable.

TO USE

1. Ensure the speed variable control on the hand mixer is set to the 0 position.

2. Insert beaters or dough hooks according to section to assemble.
   NOTE: Ensure the beaters or dough hooks are firmly positioned before operating.

3. Plug the appliance into a standard 120-volt AC electrical outlet.

4.  Add the ingredients into a bowl, hold the mixer handle and position the beaters or dough hooks in the center where the food will be mixed.

5.  Set the speed variable control on the lowest speed to start mixing. Gradually increase the speed variable control from lower to higher speed until desired speed. The speed variable control includes speeds 1 through 5 with a Turbo function. The mixer will run at the highest speed when pressing the Turbo button.(See mixing guide and turbo function)
   NOTE: Keep the beaters or dough hooks always immersed in the mixture to avoid splashing the mixture from the spinning beaters or dough hooks.

6. Guide the beaters or dough hooks in constant motion circling around the circumference of the bowl and through the center to incorporate all ingredients. If necessary, to scrape the sides or bottom of the bowl using a utensil, ensure that the speed variable control is at 0. The hand mixer can be placed vertically and stay still because of its self-stand design.

7. When mixing is complete, set the speed variable control switch to the O position. Remove the power cord from the outlet.

8. Remove the beaters or dough hooks by pressing the RELEASE button. The beaters or dough hooks will be released automatically. Do not force the beaters or dough hooks out of openings.

NOTE: Use a spatula to remove the mixture from the beaters or dough hooks.

BEATERS
Beater attachments can be used for all mixing and whipping tasks: Blend, stir, mix, beat and whip. The beaters allow thorough and fast mixing results. (See mixing guide for more details)

MIXING GUIDE
Use the following guide for speed selections. The range of foods that can be mixed with a hand mixer is quite extensive. To prevent splattering, start mixing on a slower speed until the ingredients begin combining, gradually increase speed range for the required task. Lows speeds are designed for hard ingredients. Harder ingredients will be well incorporated in your mixture when blending slowly. Higher speeds are designed for more heavy liquid ingredients such as eggs or heavy cream. The ingredients will mix and blend with one another. Please note that speed selection may vary slightly depending on your recipe.

1 (Low)

|

Blend

| Ideal for starting all mixing procedures and combining ingredients. Use this speed to blend flour or other dry ingredients

with liquids or moist mixtures. Incorporate nuts, chocolate chips, raisins or other chunky ingredients in your mixture.

2 (Low)

|

Stir

| Ideal to stir thin batters and gelatin mixtures. Prepare sauces, dressings and puddings.

3 (Medium)

|

Mix

| Ideal to combine butter, sugar and to mix eggs into batters. Prepare batters, cookie dough and cake mixes.
4 (Medium)| Beat| Ideal to beat whole eggs and frostings.

5 (High)

|

Whip

| Ideal to whip fluffy mixtures, whipped cream, egg whites and mashed potatoes.
---|---|---

Turbo option

|

———

| Use at any speed setting to achieve maximum power for tough mixing tasks.

NOTE: The beaters are not designed for mixing and kneading bread dough.
(See section dough hooks for more details)

DOUGH HOOKS
The dough hooks will allow you to save time and effort to knead dough. They can be used to help you prepare your favorite pizza dough, quick breads and cookie dough. Begin by mixing dry ingredients at low speeds (1-2) and gradually add wet ingredients. Once dry and wet ingredients are combined, slowly increase speed and add water again until ingredients form a lump. The final result should feel smooth and elastic. Some brands of flour absorb more liquid than others, so additional amounts of liquid may need to be added if the dough is not the right consistency.
NOTE: Only use dough hooks for kneading.

TURBO FUNCTION
The Turbo function allows you to increase the mixing speed to the maximum power level from any setting. When you feel the hand mixer slowing down or straining in tough mixing tasks (such as mixing cookie dough), press the Turbo button. As soon as the Turbo button is released the hand mixer will return to the pre-selected speed.

REMOVING BEATERS & DOUGH HOOKS
Once mixing is completed turn the speed variable control to 0 and raise beaters or dough hooks slowly and unplug the appliance. To remove the beaters or dough hooks position the mixer over a bowl or sink and press the Release button. The beaters or dough hooks will drop out of their openings for easy cleaning.

PREPARATION TIPS
To mix with ease, refrigerated ingredients such as butter and eggs should be at room temperature. To eliminate the possibility of shells in your recipe; break eggs into separate container first, then add to the mixture.

CLEANING TIPS

WARNING: Ensure the appliance is unplugged from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool down completely before handling or cleaning it.

1. Remove beaters or dough hooks from the hand mixer and wash in hot soapy water or in the dishwasher. NOTE: Do not allow the beaters and dough hooks to soak in water for an extended period, as this may damage them prematurely.
2. Make sure accessories are dried thoroughly.
3. The body of the hand mixer can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Never immerse the body of the hand mixer in water. NOTE: Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners when cleaning the beaters/dough hooks as these may scratch the surface.
