then quickly increases to the selected speed for optimal performance.
NOTE: The speed control can be set between the speeds listed in the chart to obtain
speeds 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 if a finer adjustment is required. Do not exceed Speed 2 when
preparing yeast doughs as this may cause damage to the Stand Mixer.

USING THE STAND MIXER
IMPORTANT: Your Stand Mixer is adjusted at the factory so that the at beater just
clears the bottom of the bowl. If, for any reason, the at beater hits the bottom of
the bowl or is too far away from the bowl, you can easily correct 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.
ASSEMBLING THE STAND MIXER
(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
over adjust 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
centered. 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.
5
Lower the motor head: Slide the
locking lever to the unlock position
and guide the motor head down.
Make sure motor head is completely
down, then slide the locking lever
to the lock position. Before mixing,
test lock by attempting to raise
motor head.

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 3 prong 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.
