POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
INTRODUCTION
The Salton Pro-Mixer is an advanced mixing system that uses twin motor,
3-way beating action. One motor is located in the Hand Mixer and powers
the individual beaters, turning each in the opposite direction. One of
10 speeds can be used.
The other motor, located in the Base, drives the bowl at High or Low speed.
Together this 3-way action provides more powerful and uniform mixing results.
Important: Please read these instructions before using your Salton
Pro-Mixer and keep in a safe place for future reference.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled
in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is
exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating
of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the
grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounded 3-wire cord. The
extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter
top or table top, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
