IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using any electrical hand mixer, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including the following:
CAUTION: When using the hand mixer, the unit must not be used for longer than 1
minute cycles, as this puts pressure on the motor which could lead to overheating and
product malfunction. It is recommended to allow the hand mixer a few seconds break
after each cycle and not to use for more than 5 minutes for one single operation.

1. Please read the instructions carefully before using any hand mixer.
2. Always ensure that the voltage on the rating label corresponds to the mains
voltage in your home.
3. Incorrect operation and improper use can damage the hand mixer and cause
injury to the user.
4. The hand mixer is intended for household use only. Commercial use invalids the
warranty and the supplier cannot be held responsible for injury or damage
caused when using the hand mixer for any other purpose than that intended.

avoid an electrical hazard.
9. Do not use the hand mixer if it has been dropped or damaged in any way. In
case of damage, take the unit in for examination and/or repair by an authorised

CAUTION: Always check the hand mixer is switched OFF and not connected to the
mains power supply, when changing or touching the beaters or dough hooks.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Take the hand mixer out of the box and take off any protective wrappings
REMEMBER: DO NOT LEAVE PROTECTIVE PACKAGING LYING AROUND, AS IT
COULD BE DANGEROUS AROUND INFANTS. Wash the beaters and hooks under
warm soapy water, rinse well and dry. Wipe the body with a slightly dampened cloth.
DO NOT allow any liquid to touch the motor body.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FITTING THE BEATERS & DOUGH HOOKS
Remove the plug from the power outlet. Set the speed switch to “0”. Insert the beaters or
dough hooks, left side first, one at a time into the slots on the bottom of the mixer. Push
and twist simultaneously until the beater or dough hook “clicks” into place. Insert the left
side first, this is the one which has a “lip” at the end of it.
NOTE: Never use beaters and dough hooks together.
USING YOUR HAND MIXER
The hand mixer is perfectly suited for preparing dips, sauces, whipping cream, cake
mixtures and the like:
Ensure the hand mixer is unplugged and the speed control is set to “0”.
Put the ingredients into a durable, deep enough, mixing bowl, which is sufficiently
tall and wide to avoid splashing.
Plug the unit into the mains power supply, with the speed control set to “0”.
Dip the beaters or dough hooks into the mixture as deep as possible so as to
avoid splashing.

8
NOTE: Do not immerse the hand mixer into food or liquid beyond the length of the tool.
No liquid of food must touch the mixer body.
7. Set the desired mixing speed by moving the speed selector dial to the right, from
1 for a low speed to 4 for a high speed.
8. To switch the mixer OFF, move the speed selector dial to “0”.
9. We recommend first starting on a low speed and increasing the speed as
needed, depending on the desired consistency of the food stuff being processed.
10. Work the hand mixer through the ingredients with a gentle circular motion, and
up and down movement. NOTE: Do not operate the hand mixer before inserting
it into the food being mixed.
11. When you have finished using your hand mixer, unplug the appliance and
remove the dough hooks/beaters by holding the motor body and turning the
hooks/beaters in an anti-clock wise direction.
12. Clean the unit and the attachments thoroughly after use.
THE SPEED CONTROLS
Press ▲to increase or ▼to decrease the speed.
The light will change colour as the speed changes.
Speed Colour Use
1 blue cakes/batter/dough

3 green eggs
4 red other/larger batches
Reducing the speed to zero will make the light flash blue.
To stop quickly, press .
THE TURBO BUTTON
This button is under the handle, in the “trigger” position. Pressing the turbo button will
over-ride the speed set by the speed control and give you a burst of high speed. It only
works when the motor is already running. To avoid overheating, do not use the pulse
function for more than 30 seconds at a time, and let it rest for a minute or so between
pulses.

9
THE PULSE BUTTON
Use the pulse button to over-ride the speed control and give a burst of extra high speed
beating, regardless of the speed set on the speed control. Simply press and hold the
pulse button down. To avoid overheating, do not use the pulse function for more than 30
seconds at a time, and let it rest for a minute or so between pulses.
REMOVING THE BEATERS AND DOUGH HOOKS
To eject the beaters/dough hooks, move the speed selector dial to “0” (OFF), unplug the
mixer, then shake off any excess food which is attached to the beaters or dough hooks
into the mixing bowl. Put the hand mixer and hold both beaters/dough hooks, over the
mixing bowl. Hold both beaters/ dough hooks to prevent them from jumping out, and
press the eject button (located at the front of the handle).
SUGGESTIONS FOR USE
Move the beaters/dough hooks gently around the mixture to ensure uniform
results.
If you want to clean the sides and base of the utensil/container with a hand-held
utensil, first switch the machine OFF.
To avoid unnecessary splashing, immerse the beater/dough hooks into the
mixture before switching the appliance ON.
Unplug the appliance when not in use, before fitting or removing the
beaters/dough hooks and before cleaning it.
Avoid coming into contact with moving parts. Keep hands, hair, clothes, as well
as spatulas and other utensils away during operation to prevent injury and/or
damage to the appliance.
The speed can be adjusted at any time. Starting from “0” (OFF), and then
adjusting the speed to the food type being mixed. For thicker mixtures, a low
speed is recommended. For fine consistency, use the high-speed settings.
