• Keep hand & clothing away from bowl and attachments when in operation.
• Keep rigid objects away from bowl and attachments when in operation.
• To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse mixer in water or other
liquid.
• Use the machine only with the electrical service specifications listed on its nameplate.
• Disconnect the machine from its power source before carrying out any maintenance.
• Do not disable or remove the safety mechanisms included with the machine.

SPEED INDICTOR BAR: The speed indicator bar displays which speed (1-5) the mixer is currently set to.
If the mixer senses that there is an uneven load in the mixer bowl, a notification will flash on the display.
DIGITAL DISPLAY: The digital displays are divided into two sections. The left single-digit display is the
program display area, which is used to display the current set program number. The right two-digit
display is the time display, which is used to show the time in minutes, or in seconds if the timer is less
than 1 minute. If the time is shown in minutes, a dot on the timer display will flash to signify that it is still
counting. If a program is not selected and the timer is not set, it will count up from 0 and the program
display will show 0. If the timer is above 99, the program display will show "-", indicating a countdown
If a program is selected the program display area will display the current program number (1-6) and the
time display area will display the remaining time that corresponds to the specific program. The timer will
always count down based on the program that is selected

followed for bowls and agitators before whipping egg whites or whole eggs.

POWER ON AND POWER OFF
After powered on, all of the indicators and the digital display will flash on, and the buzzer will sound for
1 second. If the device was normally shut down before powered off last time, it will enter a standby state
after 1 second. The digital displays will all display 0, and the indicator will display speed level 1. If the
motor was running when last powered off, the state before the unit was powered off will be restored
after 1 second, but the motor will change from a running state to a paused state. In case of a shutdown,
please stop the motor first and then unplug the power.
START AND STOP THE MIXER
Before starting the mixer, make sure the bowl is attached and the lift is engaged in the “up” position,
then press the start/stop button to start the motor. Whether the motor is started or not, you can adjust
the speed by pressing the up and down speed button arrows. You can also adjust the timer by pressing
the up or down timer arrows on the display.
If the timer is adjusted after the mixer is started, the adjustment time will not be remembered and
will only be effective for this operation. If the timer is not set to 0, the countdown will start again
immediately.
After the mixer is started, press the Start/Pause button in order to temporarily pause the running of
the motor. When the motor is paused, the timer will also stop until the Start button is pressed again, at
which time it will start again.
To return to the standby state, press the Stop button when the mixer is running or suspended.
HOW TO RECORD AND SET THE PROGRAM
1. Press the Start/Pause button to start the machine. Once this is pressed, the machine will begin
recording your actions.
2. Use the up and down arrows to select your speed preference.
3. If you’d like your speed to change mid-mix, adjust speed at your desired time (for example: changing
from speed 1 to speed 2 at 30 seconds, just press the up arrow to the second speed indicator at the
30 second mark). There is no need to pause or stop the mixer to change speed.
4. If you want the mixer to pause to add ingredients, press the Start/Pause button, and lower the bowl
lever (Error E2 will show in the display, disregard as that error just means the bowl is down). This will
tell the program to pause itself at the desired time. (For example – if you want the mixer to pause at
60 seconds, press the Start/Pause button, lower the bowl, add ingredients, raise the bowl and press
the Start/Pause Button to begin again. This will be a saved function in your program.)
OPERATION

5. When you are finished with the recording, press the Stop button.
6. To save the program, hold the Programs button and the program number button (1-6)
simultaneously (approximately 3 seconds). For example, if you want to save it as program number 3,
press the Programs button and the 3 at the same time.
7. The display will show the program number and time duration once it is saved.
8. To choose a saved program, press the corresponding program number and then press the Start/
Pause button to begin the program.
*Any current program can be reprogrammed by saving over the program number at any time without needing to
clear it.
CLEAR THE SAVED PROGRAMS
In order to clear out the saved programs in the mixer, simultaneously hold down the Program and the
Stop keys for 5 seconds. The digital display will flash, “--“, and then return to the normal display after 3
seconds. This is a signifier that all saved programs have been cleared from the unit.
COUNTDOWN TIMER AND REMINDER
When the countdown is less than 15 seconds, the alarm will sound to notify the user every 2 seconds
until the timer reaches 0. The motor will stop running automatically and the digital display will flash to
show “00”. Once the timer reaches zero, the alarm will sound once every 10 seconds for 1 minute.
POWER OFF MEMORY
If the motor loses power during operation, the controller will restore the program and the remaining
running time before losing power next time when the motor is powered on, but the motor will change to
the suspended state
