children.
■Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts,
and before cleaning.
■Avoid contacting moving parts. Keep hands, hair, and clothing, as well
as spatulas and other utensils, away from beaters during operation to
reduce risk of injury to persons, and/or damage to mixer.
■

Shock Hazard
■Do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquid.
■This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the
risk of electrical shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized out-
let. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug
in any way or using an adaptor. If the plug does not fit, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance is intended for household use only.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the
hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over, a longer cord. If a longer
cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical
rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of
the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it
will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or accidentally tripped over.
The wattage rating of the mixer is determined by an Underwriter’s
Laboratory test and is based on available attachments that may not be
provided with your unit, but are available as additional accessories.
This rating is a measure of input wattage after 30 seconds of operation.
The mixer as provided may draw significantly less power. Peak power is the
measure of the motor wattage during the first seconds of operation. This is
when a mixer requires the most power. This is a better measure of what a
mixer motor can deliver when power is needed most.

Electrical Shock Hazard
• Disconnect power before cleaning.
• Do not immerse cord, plug or mixer body in any liquid.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or electrical
shock.
Cookie dough is one of the thickest doughs to mix. Make it easier by
following these tips:
■Use a large mixing bowl so that the ingredients spread out for
easier mixing.
■Have butter or margarine at room temperature.
■Add ingredients one at a time and thoroughly mix after each
addition.
■Add flour one cup at a time.
■To add chips or nuts to a very thick dough or batter, we recom-
mend stirring them in by hand at the very end of the recipe.
