recommended attachments may draw signicantly less power.
WARNING: RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK
The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to the presence of uninsulated, dangerous voltage within the product’s
enclosure that may be of sufcient magnitude to constitute a risk of re or electric
2
shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence
of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying
the appliance.
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care
is exercised in their use. If a long extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the
extension cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer

be pulled on by children or tripped over.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For your protection, the Cuisinart® Stand Mixer is equipped with a 3-conductor cord set that has a
molded 3-prong grounding-type plug, and should be used in combination with a properly connected
grounding-type outlet. If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an adapter may be obtained so that a
2-slot wall outlet can be used with a 3-prong plug.
The adapter must be grounded by attaching its grounding lug under the screw of the outlet cover plate.
CAUTION: Before using an adapter, it must be determined that the outlet cover plate screw is properly
grounded. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician. Never use an adapter unless you are sure it is properly grounded.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If the stand mixer shuts off, the unit may have
overheated. Your stand mixer has an overload
protection device, it will shut down to protect
the motor.
Solution: In the unlikely event that this
happens:
• Turn off and unplug the unit.
• Reduce the load by removing some of
the ingredients, and allow the mixer to
stand for a few minutes.
• Plug in and reset the speed. If the stand
mixer does not start when you turn the
Speed Dial ON, allow the unit to stand
for additional time.
TIPS AND HINTS
• Before preheating your oven, adjust racks
to accommodate your baking task. Most
recipes use the middle rack; pies bake best
in the lower third of the oven.
• Carefully follow each mixing step in a recipe.
Take care not to over- or under-mix.
• Don’t crowd the oven, and avoid opening
the oven door during baking – use the oven
light to help you watch. With certain recipes,
particularly when baking more than one tray
of cookies at a time, rotate halfway through
baking.
• Proper measurements are very important
when baking. To measure our correctly, stir
the our rst, then spoon into the measuring cup. Level off the top with the blunt side
of a knife blade or the handle of a spoon.
Do not press or compact our. It is also
very important not to measure directly from
the bag – while the our is pre-sifted, it has
been pressed/compacted to t into the bag.
Baked goods made from unstirred our are
likely to be heavy and dry because too much
our is used.
• For most baking recipes, refrigerated items
like butter, milk and eggs incorporate better
when they are at room temperature.
• Remove butter from the refrigerator and cut
into ½-inch pieces to help it come to room
temperature faster while you measure out
the remaining ingredients. Do not warm
butter in the microwave; this can change the
structure of the butter if it melts and give the
nished product a different texture.
• To separate eggs for use in any recipe, break
them one at a time into a small bowl. Gently
remove the yolks, then transfer the whites to
a spotlessly clean glass or stainless bowl. If
a yolk breaks into a white, use that egg for
another recipe. Just a drop of egg yolk in
the white prevents the white from whipping
properly.
• Scraping the entire bowl – sides, bottom and
paddle over the course of mixing and adding
new ingredients – ensures even incorporation of ingredients and overall best results.
The more you scrape the bowl, the better.
• For whipping egg whites, both the mixing
bowl and chef’s whisk must be spotlessly
clean and dry. Any trace of fat/oil will prevent
the egg whites from whipping properly.
• To check the freshness of eggs, place them
in a bowl of warm water – if they oat, they
are not fresh. This is most important when
using for whipping egg whites. The fresher
the eggs, the more stable the foam.
• To melt chocolate for a recipe, put chopped
chocolate in a double boiler insert or larger
bowl over a pan of barely simmering water.
The water should not boil, nor should it
touch the bottom of the double boiler insert
or bowl. If it does, this could cause the
chocolate to “seize” and you will not be able
to use it in your recipe.
• Always test yeast for freshness before using it in a recipe. Sprinkle a little over warm
