PRODUCT USAGE

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 over beating. 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, see the “Speed Control Guide” section.

CARE AND CLEANING

IMPORTANT: Do not immerse the Hand Mixer body in water or other liquids. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads to avoid scratching.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

If the Hand Mixer fails to start:

| Check if the Hand Mixer is securely plugged into an outlet.
If you have a circuit breaker box, make sure the circuit is closed.

If the problem cannot be corrected:

| Contact KitchenAid or an Authorized Service Center**.

See the “Warranty and Service” section.

Do not return the Hand Mixer to the retailer; retailers do not provide service.
