beating eggs, and mixing thin batters.
The BOWL LIFT HANDLE (Fig. 1) is used to raise and lower the bowl. To raise the bowl,
rotate the handle upward; rotating the handle downward lowers the bowl.
MIXING
This section explains operation of the mixer and how to install bowls, tools, and
attachments.
Bowl
New mixer bowls and agitators (beaters, whips, and dough arms) should be thoroughly
washed with hot water and a mild soap solution, rinsed with either a mild soda or vinegar
solution, and thoroughlyrinsed with clear water BEFORE being put into service. This
cleaning procedure should also be followed for bowls and agitators before whipping egg
whites or whole eggs.
The bowl must be installed before the agitator. To install the bowl, fully lower the bowl
support. Position the bowl so the alignment bracket on the back of the bowl is in the bowl
retainer and the alignment pins on the front of the bowl support fit in the holes on the
sides of the bowl. Lockthe bowl in place by rotating the bowl clamps over the ears of the
bowl.
Tools
To install the tools, whisk beater or spiral hook (Fig. 1), the bowl must be installed and
fully lowered. Place the toolin the bowl, push it up on the beater shaft, and turn it
clockwise to locate the shaft pin in the slot of the tool.

Attachments
To install an attachment, loosen the thumb screw on the attachment hub (Fig. 1) and
remove the plug. Insert the attachment into the attachment hub making certain that the
square shank of the attachment is in the square driver of the mixer. Secure the
attachment by tightening the thumb screw.
Move the gear shift lever to the desired speed and start the mixer to operate the
attachment.
The meat and food chopper attachment should be operated in second or third speed. If
material in the cylinder stalls the mixer, stop the mixer at once. DO NOT attempt to
