INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD
USE ONLY
SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided
with the stand mixer to reduce the risks
resulting from becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised
in their use.
If a long extension cord is used,
the marked electrical rating of the
extension cord must be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the
appliance, and the longer cord should
be arranged so that it will not drape
over the countertop or tabletop where
it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over.
NOTICE
The stand mixer has a three wire
grounded plug. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug will 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 modify the plug in any way.

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
• Always disconnect blender

stand mixer and disassemble
before cleaning.
• Empty the jar fully before
unscrewing the blade unit.
• Blade unit and collar: Remove
and wash the sealing ring and
collar with hot soapy water.
Run tap water over the blades
to clean.
• Jar, pour lid and cover: wash by
hand in hot soapy water or on
top rack of dishwasher.

• Follow the cleaning and
maintenance instructions that
follow prior to your first use.
•
Bread, Cookie or Cracker
Crumbs: Break or cut bread,
cookies or crackers into pieces
½ inch or less in size. For best
bread results, use day-old bread
(drier bread works best). Place
bread, cookie or cracker pieces
in blender jar. Set stand mixer to
speed 12 to chop, then blend
continuously until desired texture
of crumbs is achieved. For best
results process 1 cup or less at a
time.
•
Crushing Ice: Add up to 1 cup
of standard ice cubes to the
blender jar. Cover. Turn stand
mixer to speed 12 until cubes are
the consistency of snow. Turn
stand mixer off. Press Fold a
few times if coarsely chopped
ice is desired.
• GratingFresh Citrus Zest: For
best results, blender jar and
cutting assembly must be clean
and dry. Remove zest from fruit in
strips, using a vegetable peeler;
use a sharp knife to remove the
bitter white pith from the
underside of the zest. Process no
more than 8 strips at a time (zest
of 1 medium lemon). Cut strips in
half. Add strips and 1 teaspoon
sugar or coarse salt (from recipe)
to the blender jar. Cover blender
jar. Set stand mixer to speed 12;
blend for 15 to 20 seconds. Turn
stand mixer off.
• Baby Food: Combine ½ cup
cooked vegetables, fruit or meat
with 3 to 4 tablespoons liquid
(water, milk, fruit juice, broth, or
cooking liquid) in the blender jar.
Set stand mixer to speed 12.
Blend for 15 to 20 seconds until
a smooth purée is reached. Add
more liquid as necessary and
process further until desired
texture is reached. For “junior”
type foods, set on speed 12 and
use the Fold button. Always
consult with your pediatrician/
family physician concerning the
best foods for your baby and
when to introduce new foods to
his/her diet.
• When using the blender to purée
hot mixtures such as creamed
soups and baby foods, strain the
solids from the liquid, reserving
the cooking liquid. Then place
the cooked solids in the blender
jar along with ½ to 1 cup of the
reserved cooking liquid. Blend
until desired consistency/purée
is reached.
• Allow hot foods to cool slightly
before blending to prevent steam
buildup, which may cause the
lid to lift up from the blender jar.
• To make smoothies and frosty
beverages without diluting them,
keep ice cubes made of juices,
yogurt, milk or fruit purées on
hand to substitute for plain ice.
• For quick cleaning, add 1 cup of
warm water and a drop of liquid
dish soap to the blender jar.
Cover and blend on speed 10 for
30 to 40 seconds. Discard the
soapy water and rinse blender
thoroughly before the next use.

9
10
²⁄³cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ cup heavy cream
Butter a 2-quart shallow baking dish
(9" x 9" square or equivalent) with unsalted
butter. Layer half the bread cubes in
the dish, top evenly with the chopped
chocolate, then the remaining bread cubes.
Place the eggs, evaporated milk,
sugar, and vanilla extract in the blender
attachment jar. Blend for 1 minute. Add
heavy cream, and blend 30 seconds longer.
Pour the mixture slowly over the bread
cubes. Gently press all bread cubes to
submerge them. Let the mixture stand for
30 minutes, or cover and refrigerate up
to 12 hours (if refrigerated, let come to
room temperature for 30 minutes before
proceeding). Ten minutes before baking,
preheat oven to 325°F. Place the filled pan
in a larger shallow baking pan. Place the
baking pans in the oven and carefully pour
hot water into the larger, outer pan until
the water comes 1 inch up the sides of
the inner dish. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes.
Bread pudding will be puffed and custard
will be set. Remove from oven and allow
the pudding to rest for 20 to 30 minutes on
a wire rack to cool before serving. Serve
with vanilla ice cream, softly whipped
cream and Quick & Easy Raspberry Sauce
if desired.
*Bread pudding is best made from day-old
or slightly stale bread. Challah bread is a
good choice for bread pudding.
Butternut Squash
and Leek Soup
Makes 5 cups
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
5 ounces leeks (about 2
medium), white and light
green parts only, washed and
chopped
1 small garlic clove, smashed
4 cups butternut squash
(about 1 medium squash),
peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon sherry or white
wine
½ teaspoon kosher salt
3½ cups chicken or vegetable
stock
Place the butter in a 2-quart sauté pan
over medium-low heat. When the butter
has melted, stir in the leeks and garlic and
cook over low heat until very soft, about
10 minutes. Be careful not to pick up any
color on the vegetables.
Once the leek/garlic mixture is soft, stir in
the butternut squash. Increase the heat of
the pan slightly and stir in the sherry. The
sherry will evaporate immediately; when
it does stir in the salt and chicken stock.
Increase the heat and bring the soup to a
boil. Once it comes to a boil turn the heat
down so that the soup remains a constant
simmer. After about 40 to 50 minutes the
squash should be very soft. Carefully place
ingredients into blender attachment jar.
Place cover on jar. Turn stand mixer to
speed 12. Blend until soup is completely
homogenous, about 45 seconds. Adjust
seasoning according to taste and serve
immediately.
