IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

When using electric appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,

do not put 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. 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 mixer.

6. Remove beaters from mixer before washing.

7. Do not let cord hang over edge of

table or counter, or touch hot surfaces, including stove.

8. 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 tollfree customer assistance number for information on examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

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

10. Do not use outdoors.

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 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 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.

Consumer Safety Information

Mixing Tips

Cookie dough is one of the thickest doughs to mix. Make it easier by following these tips:

• Use a large mixing bowl so that the ingredients spread out for easier mixing.

• Have butter or margarine at room temperature.

• Add ingredients one at a time and thoroughly mix after each addition.

• Add flour one cup at a time.

• To add chips or nuts to a very thick dough or batter, we recommend stirring them in by hand at the very end of the recipe.

CAUTION: Never place mixing bowl in an oven, microwave oven, or on a hot cooking surface. The mixing bowl is not intended to be used at high temperatures and should never be used as cookware, ovenware, or bakeware.

Using Your Mixer

How to Assemble the Stand

NOTE: Attach the mixer to the stand

before attaching the beaters or any other attachments.

1. Set the stand on counter. With the platform level, and while holding the mixer as shown, place the L-shaped tab on platform into the slot on the bottom of the mixer.

2. As the mixer is lowered, gently press

the back of the mixer onto the platform until it locks into place. The mixer can now be used as a stand mixer.

3. To lift the mixer head, squeeze together mixer lockdown tabs.

The stand mixer is very convenient for most recipes. However, small amounts–like one cup of cream–may not contact the beaters in the stand mixer mode. In these cases we recommend using as a hand mixer.

1. Hold the hand mixer with one hand and press the mixer release button with the other hand.

2. Tilt the mixer forward to release from the stand.
