Consumer Safety Information

THIS UNIT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

When your GE®Mixer is first used, you
may experience an odor and possibly a
slight wisp of smoke from your mixer’s
motor. This is caused by the heat curing
of the insulation, which protects the
motor and is normal. After the first few
uses, this will no longer occur.

This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an
electrical outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature intended to help reduce
the risk of electrical shock. If you are
unable to insert the plug into the outlet,

try reversing the plug. If the plug should
still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician
to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not
attempt to defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized plug by modifying the plug
in any way.

WARNING: To reduce risk of personal
injury, always unplug Mixer before inserting
or removing beaters or dough hooks.

BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash bowl, beaters,
and dough hooks in hot, soapy water.
Then rinse and dry.

thoroughly mix after each addition.

How to Assemble the Stand Mixer

Before assembling the Mixer, make sure the speed control dial is in the OFF
position and the electric cord is unplugged.

Attaching the Turntable

To assure the proper positioning of the mixing bowl with relation to the beaters, the
turntable has two positions. Before adjusting the turntable, decide which bowl will be
used. To adjust the turntable, remove it from the base. There are icons on the base
depicting a large (stainless steel)bowl and a small (glass)bowl. Place the turntable in
the hole with the icon corresponding to the bowl that will be used.

Attaching the Mixer Head

To attach the mixing head, press in on the Mixer release trigger, located at the rear
of the stand.

Place the Mixer head on the stand so that the metal pivot on the bottom of the
Mixer head goes into the latched opening on the top of the stand.

As you release pressure from the Mixer-release trigger, the top of the latch should
clamp around the metal pivot. Once the mixing head is lowered into position, it
will lock into place.

To tilt the mixing head, upward, press the head lock button inward while pulling up
on the handle of the mixing head.

NOTE: This Mixer is NOT intended for use away from the stand.
