Consumer Safety Information
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electric appliances, basic safety
precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical
shock, do not put cord, plug, or Mixer
body in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when
any appliance is used by or near
children.
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, 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.
6. Remove beaters and other attachments
from Mixer before washing.
7. Do not operate any appliance with
a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions or is dropped
or damaged in any manner. Call our
toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, electrical
repair, mechanical repair, or adjustment.
8. The use of attachments not
recommended or sold by Hamilton
Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc. for use with
this model may cause fire, electric
shock or injury.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table
or counter, or touch hot surfaces,
including stove.
11. Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven.
12. Check that control is off before plugging
cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn
control to OFF, then remove plug from
wall outlet.
13. Do not use appliance for other than
intended purpose.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Stand Mixer Safety
This appliance is intended for household
use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into a power
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact an electrician to
replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt
to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug.
A short cord is provided to reduce the hazard
of becoming entangled or tripping over a
longer cord. An extension cord may be used
if the electrical rating is equal to or greater
than the rating of the mixer. Use an exten-
sion cord rated 10 amperes or greater. 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 tripped over.

Cord Storage
Push cord into Base of Mixer for neat
storage.
2-Position Turntable
The 2-Position Turntable places large or
small bowls close to
the attachments to
minimize having to
scrape the sides of
the bowls. It is impor-
tant to have Turntable
in proper position to
ensure thorough
mixing, kneading, and whisking.
2 and 4 Quart Mixing Bowls
Two sizes allow for a selection for
the most efficient mixing, beating, or
whipping. Also convenient for recipes
which require two bowls.

cally locks into place.

Notes About Your Stand Mixer
• The Mixer Head locks down for
thorough mixing. However, there
will be some “bouncing” of the
Mixer Head during heavy mixing
or kneading. This is caused by the
flexibility designed into the Mixer.
• If a spoon is accidentally caught in
attachments or the motor stalls, the
Mixer will automatically shut off. If this
happens, turn Mixer off, then unplug.
Clear obstruction. Let motor cool for
5 minutes before continuing.
• Always stay near Mixer during use.
The speed of turning bowls should
always be monitored.
1. Make sure Sensor Speed Control is
turned to OFF and Mixer is unplugged.
2. Raise Mixer Head to up locked
position.
3. Press Beater Eject Button to eject
attachments.
To Clean
4. Bowls, beaters, and dough hooks
may be washed in hot, soapy water
or in automatic dishwasher.
5. Wipe Head, Base, and Turntable of
Mixer with a damp cloth.

Beautiful Breads A Few Words About Baking Bread...
All of our recipes were tested using
all-purpose flour. Bread flour can
also be used.
Most of these recipes call for shaping
bread into a loaf and baking in a loaf
pan. However, bread can be shaped
into any shape and baked in almost
any pan. The only thing this affects
is the baking time.
All of the yeast bread recipes were
made using the dough hooks on
Speed 6.
Basic White Bread
2 packages active dry yeast
21⁄2cups warm water
3 tablespoons butter or margarine,
melted
In a large mixing bowl, combine yeast and 1⁄2cup of warm water. Stir until
dissolved. Add remaining warm water, butter, sugar, and salt. Stir until mixed.
Add 6 cups of flour and mix until blended. Add enough of remaining flour until
dough forms a smooth ball that is slightly sticky to the touch.
Bread Tips!
• When yeast is dissolved in warm water,
the water temperature should be 105°
to 115°F. This is usually very warm tap
water.
• Bread rises best in a moist, warm
environment. For a perfect place to raise
bread, place bread in a microwave oven
or regular oven with a pan of steaming
water. Do not turn oven on, but close
the door.
