IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
2. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not put mixer, cord or
plug in water or other liquid.
3. 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.
4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking
off parts, and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contacting moving parts. Keep hands,hair, clothing,as well as
spatulas and other utensils away from beaters during operation to
reduce the risk of injury to person and ⁄ or damage to the mixer.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or
after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in
any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized
service facility for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical
adjustment.
7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the
appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot
surfaces, including the stove.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated
oven.
11. To disconnect, turn the control to off, grasp plug and remove it
from wall outlet. Never yank the cord to remove the plug.

12. Remove beaters from mixer before washing.
13. Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.
14. Do not twist, kink or wrap the power cord around the appliance
as this may cause the insulation to weaken and split, particularly
in the location where it enters the unit.
15. Do not leave appliance unattended while in use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazard
resulting from entanglement or tripping over a long cord.
2. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised. If it is necessary
to use an extension cord, it should be positioned so that it does
not drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over unintentionally.
3. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be the same or
more than the wattage of the appliance (the wattage is shown on
the rating label located on the underside or back of the appliance).
4. Avoid pulling or straining the power cord at outlet or appliance
connections.
POLARIZED PLUG
1. Your appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other).
2. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit
into a polarized outlet only one way.
3. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,reverse the plug. If it does
not fit,please consult a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat
this safety feature by modifying the plug in any way.
WARNING: Improper use of the power cord may result in electric
shock. Consult a qualified electrician if necessary.

Using Your Hand Mixer
INSERTING BEATERS AND DOUGH HOOKS
Be sure the unit is unplugged before
inserting Beaters or Dough Hooks. Please
note that the Dough Hooks are designed
to fit in the mixer only one way.
Firmly grasp the mixer by the handle.
Insert the Dough Hook with the large
shaft ring into the right opening (the
larger opening). Push the Dough Hook
in as far as it will go.The Dough Hook will click as it locks into place. If the Dough
Hook does not lock into place, try inserting into the other opening. Repeat this
process with other Dough Hook in the left opening (the smaller opening). Plug
the Mixer into a 120 volt 60 Hz AC only outlet.Your Mixer is now ready to use.
REMOVING BEATERS
Your Hand Mixer has a Beater Eject Button to allow easy removal of the Beaters and
Dough Hooks. Be sure the unit is unplugged and the speed switch is set to “OFF”
before removing the Beaters or Dough Hooks.With one hand holding the Beaters
or Dough Hooks, press the Beater Eject Button.The Beaters/Dough Hooks will drop
out of their locks for easy cleaning
CONTROLLING THE MIXER SPEED
To operate your Hand Mixer, simply move the
Speed Selector Switch from the “OFF” position to the
desired speed.Your mixer will beat at the speed level
you have selected.
During operation, it is possible to alter the speed of the
mixer by selecting a new speed setting.Your mixer has

USING THE TURBO FEATURE
The Turbo Button is perfect for tough mixing jobs and adds extra mixing power
at the touch of a button. Should you feel the Mixer slowing or straining during
tough mixing jobs, firmly press the Turbo Button to increase the mixing speed.By
releasing the Turbo Button,the mixer will automatically return to the previously
selected speed.
NOTE: When engaging the Turbo Button, a slight pause may occur if lightly
pressed.This is completely normal and can be avoided by pressing firmly on the
Turbo Button.
INTERRUPTING THE MIXING PROCESS
To stop your Mixer, simply move the Speed Selector Switch to the “OFF” position.
This will stop the beaters’ rotation.
Your Mixer has been designed with a Heel Rest to make mixing easier. Lift the
Mixer up from your mixing bowl. Stand the Mixer on its heel with the beaters
positioned over the mixing bowl.This will allow the batter to drip directly into
the bowl.You may now add other ingredients as necessary. Resume mixing
whenever you are ready.
CAUTION:
To prolong the life of your Mixer, avoid getting flour into the air vents.
Do not use the mixer for more than 5 minutes consecutively. After 5
minutes of use, allow the Mixer to rest for a few minutes before continuing
to mix ingredients.
