IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be observed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. To protect against risk of electrical

shock, do not put the cord, plug, or Mixer body in water or other liquid.

3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.

5. Remove beaters and other attachments from the Mixer before washing.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information on examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer for use with this model may cause fire, electric shock or injury.

8. Avoid contacting moving parts. Keep hands, hair, and clothing, as well as spatulas and other utensils, away from beaters during operation to reduce risk of injury to persons, and/or damage to the Mixer.

9. Do not use outdoors.

10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table

or counter. Do not let cord contact hot surfaces, including stove.

11. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

12. Check that control is off before plugging cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn control to RESET/OFF, then remove plug from wall outlet.

13. Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.

This appliance is intended for household use only.

This appliance is equipped with a groundedtype 3-wire cord (3-prong plug). This type of plug will only fit into an electrical outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If the plug should fail to fit contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the grounding pin by modifying the plug in any way.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload do not use another high wattage appliance on the same circuit with the mixer.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the mixer. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

An extension cord should be connected to the appliance first, before it is plugged into the outlet.

• Add flour one cup at a time.

• If the mixer seems to struggle, increase the setting.

Notes About Your Stand Mixer

• The Mixer Head locks down for thorough mixing.

• When mixing thin batters use medium speeds and frequently stop the mixer to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Place liquid ingredients in the bottom of the bowl first and then add dry ingredients.

• Always stay near Mixer during use.

• If a spoon is accidentally caught in an attachment or the motor stalls, slide the Setting Control to RESET/OFF then unplug. Clear the obstruction or reduce the amount of mixture in the bowl. Let the motor cool for 5 minutes before continuing.

Use the dough hook on settings 2-4 to

knead yeast bread recipes.

• Bread can be shaped into any shape and baked in almost any pan. The only thing this affects is the baking time.

• When yeast is dissolved in warm water, the water temperature should be 105° to 115°F. This is usually very warm tap water.

• Bread rises best in a moist, warm environment. For a perfect place to raise bread, place bread in a microwave oven or regular oven with a pan of steaming water. Do not turn oven on, but close the door.

• Knead yeast bread dough until the dough has a satin appearance.
