LEARNING ABOUT YOUR HAND MIXER
The OSTER® Hand Mixer has been designed to assist you in preparing delicious foods.

TURBO FEATURE

The turbo feature allows for an added boost to the selected speed setting at the press of the button. During especially heavy mixing tasks, press the button to drive through the mixture with ease. Once the button is released, the mixer will return to the original speed setting.

6-SPEED CONTROL – BEATER EJECT BUTTON
This OSTER® Hand Mixer features a combination 6-Speed Control – Beater Eject Button. This design allows for easy speed selection and ejection of beaters or other attachments. Press forward on the thumb tab to turn the mixer on and to select the desired speed set-ting (1 through 6). When the speed control is in the OFF position you can push down on the thumb tab to release the beaters or other attachments. There may not be a noticeable click.
NOTE: Do not eject attachments when the hand mixer is operating.

BEATERS
The beater design allows for thorough, fast mixing results for all types of batters. (See Fig. A)

DOUGH HOOKS
Ideal for dry ingredients or when folding two portions of a recipe together, such as a beaten egg white into a batter or when directions call for LOW speed. (See Fig. B)

COMFORT HANDLE
The handle has been designed for comfort to prevent hand fatigue during heavy or long mixing tasks. (See Fig. C)

USING YOUR HAND MIXER

Before using your mixer for the first time, wash the beaters in hot/soapy water, or the dishwasher. Rinse and dry.
Be sure speed control is in the “OFF” or “0” position and unplugged from an electrical outlet. Insert beaters one at a time, by placing stem end of beaters into the opening drive holes on the bottom of the mixer. Turn beater slightly and push in until beater clicks into position. Beaters are interchangeable.

MIXING
Turn mixer on and refer to speed guide for correct setting. Slowly guide mixer around sides and through center of bowl, going in the same direction. Be careful not to overbeat the mixture. Overbeating tends to make some mixtures tough.

Whenever scraping of the bowl is required, stop the mixer and scrape sides and bottom of bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Turn speed control to “OFF” or “0” and rest mixer on its heel rest while adding ingredients. Be sure to position beaters over mixing bowl so any dripping will fall back into mixing bowl.
When mixing is complete, set the control to “1”, and raise beaters slowly from batter to clean off clinging food. Be sure to set the unit to “0” before raising beaters completely out of mixing bowl.

NOTE : The hand mixer should not be operated for more than 5 minutes. After this time, let it cool for at least 5 minutes before using again.

EJECTING BEATERS
Be sure the control is in the “OFF” or “0” position and cord is removed from electrical outlet. Scrape off any excess batter with a rubber spatula. Grasp the stems of the beaters with your hand and press the beater eject button. Beaters will release into your hand.

CARING FOR YOUR MIXER

CLEANING
Wash the beaters before and after every use. Hand wash recommended, you will see some corrosion if Dish Washer is used. After removing cord from electrical outlet, clean mixer head with a damp cloth and wipe dry.

CAUTION: To protect against electric shock, do not place or immerse cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.
Avoid the use of abrasive cleaners that will damage the finish of your mixer. The motor of your mixer has been carefully lubricated at the factory and does not require any additional lubricant.

MAINTENANCE
Other than the recommended cleaning, no further user maintenance should be necessary. If for any reason your hand mixer should require repairs, do not try to fix it yourself. Send it to the nearest Authorized Oster® Appliance Service Center.
