Mixing Guide
About the Speed Control
The Speed Control dial is used for turning the mixer ON and OFF and for selecting its 12 mixing
speeds. Rotate the Speed Control dial in a clockwise direction to increase mixing speed, and in a
counterclockwise direction to decrease mixing speed. As you rotate the Speed Control dial, notice that
a numbered speed is aligned with the indicator on top of the mixer head. This numbered speed
indicates the speed at which the mixer is operating. Rotate the Speed Control dial until the indicator is
opposite the numbered speed you wish to use.
