USING THE STAND MIXER
IMPORTANT: Your Stand Mixer is adjusted at the factory so that the flat beater just
clears the bottom of the bowl. If, for any reason, the flat beater hits the bottom of
the bowl or is too far away from the bowl, you can easily adjust the clearance.
NOTE: When properly adjusted, the flat beater will not strike on the bottom or sides
of the bowl. If the flat beater or the wire whip is so close that it strikes the bottom of
the bowl, coating may wear off the beater or wires on the whip may wear.
(OPTIONAL) To adjust beater to
bowl clearance: Tilt the motor head
back; then turn the screw slightly
counterclockwise (left) to raise the
beater, or clockwise (right) to lower the
beater. Adjust the beater so that it just
clears the surface of the bowl. If you
overadjust the screw, the bowl lock
lever may not lock into place.
(OPTIONAL) Place the pouring shield*:
Slide the pouring shield* from the
front of the Stand Mixer over the
bowl until the pouring shield* is
centred. The bottom rim of the
pouring shield* fits inside of the bowl.
The pouring chute will be just to the
right of the attachment hub as you face
the Stand Mixer.

USING THE STAND MIXER
OPERATING THE STAND MIXER
NOTE: The Stand Mixer may warm up during use. Under heavy loads with extended
mixing time, the top of the unit may become hot. This is normal.
1
Plug the Stand Mixer into
a grounded outlet. Always set
the speed control lever on lowest
speed to start, then gradually
increase speed to avoid splashing
ingredients. See the “Speed control
guide” to select the best speed for
your recipe.
2
Do not scrape the bowl while the
Stand Mixer is operating. The bowl
and beaters are designed to provide
thorough mixing without frequent
scraping. Scraping the bowl once
or twice during mixing is usually
sufficient.
NOTE: To move the speed control lever
with ease, lift slightly up as you move it
across the settings in either direction.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into an earthed outlet.
Do not remove earth prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these
instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
